for the past month and a half this game has been out, it's been believed that you could not skip any cutscenes in this game at all. in gold you could just skip cutscenes on a new file as long as you have watched them all at least once on a separate file, however since the switch has profiles it simply does not work like that anymore through a first playthough. so we all just lived on without skipping any cutscenes, and i mean its fine for people like me since the cutscenes are awesome in this game

however a few hours ago nao found that you can skip one cutscene.

essentially, since we tried closing out and going back into the game on other cutscenes before and they didnt work, we thought that that would apply to every cutscene. however this cutscene is unique as its mostly just a transition to the postgame. since it's not tied to a character or anything, you can just quit out and skip it.

now you'd think there wouldnt be an issue with this, but theres actually one big issue. the difference between the loading time form quitting out on physical compared to digital is around 15-20 seconds. now this is a HUGE amount of time for this game, considering wrs are typically only by a few seconds and playing on physical will only save 50 seconds with this cutscene skip, while digital can save around 1:10. so this puts physcial players at a large disadvantage compared to digital. so this puts the skip in kind of a gray area

so, what should we do about it? do we allow it and let physical players always lose 15-20s to something out of their control? should we ban it and remove a big timesave from our game? should we add a time subtraction/addition to digital/physical players? please give us your feedback.
