    Default Scenes you wish you could skip good gawd

    The stars in the introduction lasts too long, I want to see Aeris' green face dammit.

    Watching The Midgar Railway System with Jesse. IT'S NOT THAT INTERESTING, JESSE.

    The entire Nieblehiem flashback. It was cool the first couple of times I played, but now it's just boring.

    Default damn it

    I wish I could get past the stars after you beat the game. You know the endless stars after you see red XIII and his pups (whats up with that?). They never go away. I only want a new game plus god spam it.

    The scene where you have to sneak past those Shinra guards, because I suck, and can never get past them.

    Other than that, there weren't any parts I really wish I could skip, in FFVII, there's not much for VIII either.

    The entire second disc. Its when everything falls apart for me: story gameplay, character development...

    Though to be honest, I feel VIII had more pointless cutscenes and story segments than VII did. The fact I have a scratch during one of the games several 30 to 120 seconds long cutscenes that are everywhere in that title doesn't help...

    I think scene skip in newer games has spoiled me; I find it harder and harder to replay my favorite games when I have to mash through every cutscene.

    Anyways,

    Yeah, I wouldn't find it half as annoying if it weren't for the random battles that you can't even participate in.

    I wouldn't find it half as annoying if the circular stairs in the shinra mansion was an elevator instead.

    Those serve the narrative purpose of showing how ridiculously strong Sephiroth is. And you're not likely to get into more than a few, anyway, since everything is so straightforward.

    Yeah, the battles where the only part I didn't like about the flashbacks. I enjoy the rest because (SPOILER)now that I know the end I can "put my anorak on" and state: "That happend, that didn't happen, that sort of happend..."

    The Kalm flashback lets you turn Cloud into a creepy pervert who sneaks into Tifa's house and tries on her underwear. That's got to count for something.
