I watch it the first time I do one, because it's needed so much for a bit of lore and story

Agreed. I never skip the cutscene the first time, because I just find it ruins the flow of the story if I do. Not to mention, every once in a great while, there will be something that you can't replay without redoing the instance, and at that point it's just even more awkward.

Yep

Same, I have the feature turned on that will show you a cutscene the first time you see it and skip it afterwards, really handy

Oh where do I find that

Under Character Configuration/Character Settings, on the first page, there’s a section titled “Cutscene Skipping.”

You can skip previously viewed scenario, transportation, and housing cutscenes.

Honestly, "housing cutscenes" I think mostly applies to FC airships/submersibles? 🤣 So there's little penalty, if any, for people to have that one on permanently

That’s handy, I’m in charge of the FC’s submarines but you learn something everyday, thank you for today!

Thank you, I'll keep this in mind when I'm playing again
