FFXIV – Wait for the Cutscene



While playing FFXIV you’ll probably learn sooner or later that you should wait before entering the boss fight for anyone who is new to the dungeon to finish watching the cutscene or else!

  1. My very first dungeon with people, I was healer and they started the boss in the cutscene. But it was like a 12s cutscene, so by the time I got my bearings the barrier came up already and I, in my panic, hit "no" on the tp offer without reading it. I had to watch them slowly wipe from outside. It was super stressful.

    It took me until Snowcloak and making some friends to give players another try. I just don't ever want want to put anyone else through that.

  2. What do you think guys? Should cutscenes be skippable in Prae and the like? I remember the time when it was. Then they changed it, now they reworked everything, time to change it back? Pls?
    At least make it so if everyone in the party already completed it, they can be skipped, or something.

  3. Reminds me of world of warcraft where a dps runs on ahead of everyone and hits the boss before the rest of the team can get in; locking them outside.
    Had it happen loads of times (although mostly during MoP-Legion era) and it's funny because either:
    a. They apologise after running back and they learn their mistake. Making the rest of the battles smooth.
    or b. they disconnect or yell at everyone for their stupidity "which someone points out what they did" and THEN they leave. Giving us a new and better dps which goes smoothly.

    FF14 Cutscenes remind me of that, but a less toxic version. A version everyone respects each other and understands their faults.
    Well when I played it, haven't played since after endwalker released, so I don't know if it's got better or worse. I know it was far nicer before endwalker but that's probably all the wow players moving over at the time 😀

  4. i was recently informed by a gigachad that if someone starts the boss, the tank can drag it out of the arena (if possible) and when the arena locks, the boss will reset

  5. Reminds of when I was fooling around in baelsar's wall, jumping and spinning around and lading a yalm too close to the boss.
    I just had time to turn around and wave bye 😀

  6. The tank and healer here are really slacking in their duties here. Common etiquette is that if someone is viewing a cutscene, everyone else should be starting a dance party around them.

  7. I once entered a Eden Shiva trial and one of the player's name was "Watching cutscene" we were sweating bullets and confused because the fight had started and the purple ring was gone and yet the name didn't change so we all thought he was lagging like crazy. That was a fun battle lol.

  8. On the other hand, even if the rest of the group follows and the cutscene watcer pops in at 80% of the boss healthbar, it's not that big of a deal. It's just a dungeon boss, he isn't losing a valuable experience from doing only most of the fight rather than all of it on his first (out of bazillion) run.

  9. damn, that nin got griefed hard by his teammates. Honest mistakes happen, and when you’re just breezing by your roulettes its entirely possible to forget that one little, tiny, 3-sec long pop up saying “a first timer has joined the duty” way back at the start of the dungeon. I’ve done that myself a few times, as red/blue/green DPS.
