How do you know if someone is cutscene skipper?

Don't worry, they'll loudly and obnoxiously proclaim it every chance they get.

I dunno if that's true. I've never met another cutscene skipper honestly, everybody who plays this game's a larper for sure. But my point anyway was that even I would grind through ng+ if the reward was decent.

I'm not geared cos I didn't play between 4.1 and 4.5 but I was a 98th percentile MCH on Susano EX iirc.
Edit: nvm it was Lakshmi. 93rd against Susano.


I'm not a WoW refugee btw, to the people saying that in the discord. I just don't like MMO stories. That's beside the point though, I'm just saying I'd suffer through the MSQ again for a pretty mount or something.

If you're a cutscene skipper you're a sexual deviant. And I'm not talking about the jokey ones such as feet, but the kind who should be locked up for the betterment of humanity.

It's not perfect, but you can use the Second Screen app on Android/iOS for text entry. Might be a bit faster than controller/more comfy than having a keyboard around.

Oh cool! I didn't realize it worked in-game, I thought it was one of those apps that could only send system level messages. I'll give it a try.

Does anyone do this? I assume you still have to fiddle around and like open the system keyboard before you type which would be a bit of a hassle

As a cutscene skipper, yeah.
I try to give each cutscene a fair crack but some of them are just so long winded, boring and poorly framed that I can't tolerate them for long.

Though cutscene skipping isn't my biggest sin by far.
I've not had the in-game audio on since week 2 of Stormblood other than when I ran Ivalice.

I need to remember to turn them back on for Shadowbringers. I'd love for them to add a voice (cutscene) and voice (battle) option for the sound settings. I like hearing voiced cutscenes, I don't need to hear Lalafells, Au Ra and Cats going "hyaaa" "haaa" "myaaa" "rrrrgh" when doing their skills.

Yeah you still have to hit Triangle to open the keyboard and X to send once you're done, so there's a bit of clunk to it still

I cannot bear to hear another city-state theme, residential area theme or ARR boss theme ever again. They absolutely drive me crazy at this point. I turn the sound on only when I'm learning new content, but it's off again before I have to hear another second of this.

I don't dislike any of the music in the game. Far from it. I made sure I ate like 10gig of my phone's storage to have the entire thing on spotify saved in max quality.

I watch all cutscenes in full. I listen to all the music. When a new patch is coming up, I go back to the inn and watch old cutscenes again to refresh my memory about the story. I dress up as my character in real life and only play in first person mode with the UI turned off. I am actually trapped in the game.

Those are good for sure. I meant to say the generic boss theme you get at the end of dungeons. Titan HM will always be one of my favourite trials because it was a nightmare to complete in early ARR. At the time I was playing from Australia and the latency required that I dodge Landslide/Weight of the Land before the AoE marker even appeared on the screen. It was very satisfying to get the kill.
