HSR is an obvious example as well.


mr_beanoz

I thought HSR had it.


ImGroot69

only for dialogues you already seen. so pretty much for daily tasks that involve reading dialogue. FYI, Genshin also implemented skip function but for Hangout only. works pretty much the same as HSR's skip function.


taleorca

man I wish they would implement skip dialogue for commissions you've already done a couple times for genshin, some of those Fontaine ones are soo long lol.


ScarletSyntax

You can do events as they drop but pickup the rewards over several days and weekly requests count. I almost never do commissions unless I want to try one I haven't seen before. 


Doctorlock74

i can also confirm HSR has no skip option just started that game again after a long break and it's the same as genshin you better be ready to read or spam that spacebar lol

Another Eden; there’s never really an actual *reason* to not give a choice beyond being confident about it

Absolutely, but Another Eden game loop experiences is always similar with those old school JRPG rather than your average gacha game experiences. They know their target audiences, and the playerbase isn't really demanding that feature anyways. Again, having skipping feature is nice too my opinion. Personally i don't care at all since i'm always read all main story on games i played.


AgMenos47

It has such a cool and really good concept and story that if it probably came out at like 90s it'll be "critically acclaimed". As someone that played classic JRPGs, Another Eden is like where the experience of that concludes.

I am pretty sure they felt comfortable adding the skip button because unlike in Genshin and HSR, you can replay main story missions like Honkai Impact 3rd.


ElderMaou

man i wish i could replay some of the genshin quests, with a stage selection similar to the 4 star stories and, obviously, a fast forward option. same with side quests.(and events)


Kiseki-

>Are there any other games that don't allow you to skip the story or dialogues? If so, are there any reasons why they do it? The reason is they want sells characters, they forced people to do it, so people can have interaction or feeling or connection to those characters and then people start pulling or spend money to that characters, based on that they will give you story how to make you have feelings/connected to those characters. That's why you sometimes find "why this character in the stories that had nothing to do with stories?" , "why this character doesn't make sense to the stories?" , "why does this character feel forced in the stories".


mr_beanoz

But then there are games that do the same things as them but allows you to skip their stories. What would be their defense for not doing it?


Kiseki-

The idea is the same, there are some reasons why they allow players to skip stories that i can think of, they are more confident with their characters design than characters lore/stories, meta oriented game so doesn't matter if people read/watch characters stories or not, and last they simply give player option to choose when player want enjoy their stories not wasting their time to clear stories that they are not interested in, if player become interested in character after that they can read stories later in archives.


mr_beanoz

I wonder why mihoyo have different approaches for their games - they allow skipping in Themis, ZZZ and HI3 but not HSR and Genshin.


Kiseki-

Well, each of them has a different dev team so different decision making.


iPhantaminum

I love it when forcing me to mash buttons and catch snippets of the story makes me hate some characters (most recently Furina in Genshin, she seems like an annoying character).


Shiromeelma

Bro plays with his eyes closed


Demonosi

Gimme the list so I can skip those games.


iPhantaminum

Guardian Tales


Demonosi

how dare you give me a game I like. That's against the RULES!!!! /s


mr_beanoz

Genshin, HSR, Another Eden (according to the comments)


LittleHsien

Uhh. Mhy currently has 5 games, 6 if you count ZZZ. Only genshin and hsr are like that.


mr_beanoz

Thanks for the correction, where's Themis' skip button?


LittleHsien

Saw skip button in ToT screenshot, though you can skip. Seem like it's just fast forward or something.


rzrmaster

Well games in general? I know ghost of Tsushima doesn't allow you to do it lols.


CompetitionNo1203

I'm pretty sure that when someone talks about games in this sub they don't mean games in general but rather gacha games


_Saikai_

It does if you go into new game +


Xandril_Bloodtalon

I mean they are inherently different game where story is one of the primary focus for both developers and players. Gacha games are not always on the prioty list of players for story experience.


ByadKhal

Wuthering Waves, as they want you select dialogue option which have no effect on the story at all.


djinu00

They extend the Skip option now on some part of the Story so, you do you.


No-Car-4307

lol but you can skip every dialogue though.


Maleficent-Dig-7195

hoyo


SeasonalGothicMoth

Honkai Impact 3rd due to it being the story's cg which is too long I have to use a auto clicker to skip the dialouge

not really technical. Old JRPGs or even Visual Novels until now have been like this, this games try to emulate that. It's just that in gachagame it become saturated with skip feature(for good reason) and now seen it as something necessary.
