Story stage skip on on final boss? REALLY?

[Nezeramon]

I think being able to skip most of the story stages is a great idea, it enables the player to experience the whole story even if a single stage is just completely out of their abilities. I myself really needed to skip the Nocturna minigame "Show Time!" But I think being able to skip bosses is iffy at best, and I feel quite deeply that the option to skip the FINAL BOSS just SHOULD NOT BE!
That is all.

It's a single player game. It's better that its there for players who genuinely want to get through the story without having to play a boss fight they simply aren't fast and/or skillful enough to complete.

I mean you can skip it if you choose to

If you don't want to skip it then that's fine

Wait, you can skip stages? How? Show Time doesn't make any sense to me and I've tried it dozens of times now. It's almost enough for me to give up on the game at this point.

It seems to pop up when the game registers you actively failing stages (note: not pausing mid-level or hitting the Retry hotkey). I've only naturally had this happen on late game rifts, so I wasn't aware of this being a thing on minigames, but as a test, I went into Show Time! and let it fail a couple of times and it came up with a prompt asking if I wanted "help". Which apparently doesn't skip it, but it gives you visual indicators like in boss fights, if that helps you.

Edit: As a side note, just did another test. That help the game gives isn't just in story mode, as I just did Show Time! again, but this time through the Extras/Minigames menu instead of Story Mode, so there's that too.

Also if you fail it a couple more times after the help it gives, it does, in fact, ask to skip it. Had to go back to test that again now that I had time.
