    Dancing Chocobo Frankly, I Don't Give a Nam-Yensa

    I'm playing through this game again and I just don't have the patience to watch the cutscenes. I despise voice acting in games in general and I've already completed the game so I don't feel the need to be super-involved with the storyline progression.

    Do you guys skip the scenes after you've already seen them or do you enjoy watching them, still? What about the voice acting, how do you feel about that?

    D:! Skipping over cutscenes is blasphemy unless it's right before a boss you're struggling with!

    So yes, I watch all the non pre-boss cutscenes, always.

    Voice acting could always be worse.

    Boring scenes, of course.

    I usually replay the games with the good stories so I never skip them unless I keep getting my ass kicked and I don't need to listen to the melodramatic monologue for the 8th time.

    i only skip scenes if iv scene them before, in pre x-2 titles i hated redoing a boss and having to watch long ass drawn out scenes.

    on my first play through i think i was 9 or 10, the fight in the moonflow, and the fight in macalania temple (ffx), or any redo fight in ff3-8

    It depends on the game. I usually skip all the unimportant and boring cut scenes so I can get back into the action. And also with the "struggling against a boss" deal. Seymour on Gagazet was a massive pain and it always annoyed me I couldn't skip that scene.

    I would reset after the cutscene leading to Yunalesca so i could watch it again
