Skip Cutscenes?

[Bulletproof Face]

My girlfriend is mad about how many cutscenes there are. How do you skip through them?

On controller, at least the Xbox 360 controller config it is RB + A I believe it was. Works for skits and other scenes.

Its TAB if you're on a keyboard

Weird, for me on xbox 360 controller, it's the select button which brings up the prompt: "Skip" or "Resume" during cutscenes.

My answer to OP would probably be the refund button lol. Over half the experience is cut scenes/story/characters. If that's not her thing (assuming refund is still applicable) might as well save the money.

There's also a lot of content (mainly dialogue) that's not considered a cutscene, so the only way to skip it is to spam the continue button, which could be frustrating if you aren't interested.

Why playing RPG so if you don't watch cutscenes ? Is this not the DNA of these games to have a lot of cutscenes ?
It's stupid to skip some, you will not understand the story, the relations, the world... Refund the game at this rate XD. Go play something else with your GF with less story and less lore. (Don't play the others Tales of too)

For controller it's R1/RB + A

for the actual important part of video games, the gameplay.

Rpgs are not generic shooters, they're more focus in the stories and character development. Saying the gameplay is the important part is just wrong and i don't see how someone can really enjoy a game if you gonna skip half of it.

Anyway, i say OP should skip the girlfriend instead, she sounds annoying, getting mad for dumb reasons sounds like a red flag but if you reaaally want to skip the game just for please her, then bad news, a lot of cutscenes can't be skipped in this game, tho most of the skits can be ignored.

Nah, Berseria is way more button-mashy/randomized than Arise.

It happen to me that I want to skip any cutscenes that include or focus on Dohalim.

[Troglodyte]

dont play a tales game to begin with of you dont like cutscenes

[Musou]

I think your gf needs a new hobby.

UPDATE *** my girlfriend and I are no longer dating, which is also just a really fun way to say that she's my wife now. Let people play the games they want to play them. Sometimes the cut scenes are just too long and she wants to skip past it when it drags on. Why does anyone care how she enjoys it? Did you pay for her copy? Are you playing it? Does making ♥♥♥♥♥♥ comments on a year old post make you feel better?

Last comment before this one was Dec 2021 so, it wasn't a year old then. Way to necro your own post lmao.
