Sadly, nothing is in the works anytime soon. &#8220;For the story we are not currently planning any kind of new skip feature,&#8221; Yoshida said. &#8220;This is something I&apos;m constantly torn about, and we have already finished implementing a feature that allows players to learn about the story, setting, and characters even when they skip the story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Presumably Yoshida is referring to the Unending Codex, a feature that was implemented shortly after Endwalker&apos;s release. It has a ton of info around different characters and concepts within the game, providing helpful reminders or catch-ups on the major players within Eorzea and beyond. There&apos;s the Unending Journey too, a long-running feature that lets you go back and watch cutscenes for previous quests.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"QWbXLhuYJjbdntwxNqrqiZ\" name=\"FF14 hrothgar lady.png\" alt=\"An image of the first Hrothgar in Final Fantasy 14 smiling as she regards her home, Tural, in Dawntrail.

A lot of my love from this game has come from spending several hundred hours with its colourful cast of characters. I&apos;m not sure I would be so darn attached to my Warrior of Light otherwise, but of course that&apos;s my own preference. I have pals who love the game just as much as I do while being unabating cutscene skippers.<\/p>\n<p>There&apos;ll still be a paid option to skip ahead\u2014something that I don&apos;t necessarily love, but at least it&apos;s there\u2014but for now those looking to keep their wallets closed will have to power through the story. Or at the very least, utilise the escape key a whole bunch.<\/p>\n<p>If you&apos;re wanting some more morsels of news and knowledge from Yoshida, good news!
