Imma stop you right there.
I actually went through the intro again as quickly as I could just to see if it's that bad. Any key seems to proceed but it's extremely finicky whether or not the text speeds up. I was able to get exploring in about a minute and was fighting the witch kitty in about 4-6 minutes. At least interact with the glowing spots about the house to figure out where to go unlike someone else.
Just no on so many levels. This line of thinking is a middle finger to new and returning players, especially those with limited time to game. Imagine someone who only has 10-15 minutes of free time in a day spending the entire time slogging through a story they aren't invested in. Doubt they're gonna risk making that mistake twice.
Besides, we all come to these games for different reasons. I'm here for the Action part of the Action Role Playing Game. The lengthy intro is an obstacle in my mad dash to the twitchy combat section of the game that I like, to the point that makes me want to extend my vacation from the game. Coom brains here for the porn will have a simular issue.
I see your argument, but will raise you this, why even bother playing an rpg at all then? In most rpgs, text aka story is the biggest part of the game. It would be like with any typical jrpg, skipping through the story to get to the combat because it's the more "fun" part of the game. By doing that you're skipping 90% of the game, hell I'd argue almost 95%.
In this game, the text between scenes is not that long at all, if anyone thinks the text in this game is long, don't even bother with most traditional rpgs, they're filled to the brim with text and cutscenes. This game is super tame in comparsion to various other unskippable cutscenes, and text that you have to tap a button through.
Another thing I think of is, would these same people that find "unskippable" text irritating, react the same way if they were watching an unskippable cutscene? It's the same premise, you can't skip it and it's time consuming.
Final point, if you're just here for the animation part of the game, I'm sure you can find a full save pretty easily. You can get directly to the part you want, but then you're missing most of the game, but w/e.
