    Speaking of which, there need to be more games with cutscenes you can pause in the middle of. I burned a pizza watching an hour of dialogue in Metal Gear Solid 2 because I didn't want to miss anything. :(

    Depends on the game, I suppose.

    However, I normally don't skip any cutscenes.

    I never skip cutscenes the first time I play a game. After that, I usually skip those that aren't totally awesome.

    I never skip cutscenes when I'm playing a game for the first time, because I don't want to miss out on any story bits, awesome action scenes or any other stuff that those cutscenes reveal. If I play the game again, then I either skip or don't skip cutscenes: it depends on whether the cutscenes were interesting or not.

    It depends entirely on the situation.

    If it's my first time playing, then I always watch them.

    If I lost and now have to do some sort of boss fight again, I skip.

    If I'm doing a re-run, then I watch them again.

    I like to savor my cookies.

    If I haven't seen it before then I'll watch it.
    Depends on the game if I'll skip it or not (Xenosage for example too many scenes so I would skip them)
    and if I loss to a boss I would skip the scenes.
    But thats just me though so who cairs.

    True, maybe it'll be in MSG4 or other nex-gen games, but cant you do it in ffx and ffx-2
