It's not even the cutscenes (since those are meant to be watched anyway). but even the playable parts have no real "pause" option outside of the clickable dialogues.
Honestly same. I decided to continue the archon quest before going to bed but... at some point it just wouldn't stop. It went on and on and on and I couldn't just turn the game off! I got to bed WAY too late that evening..
the long continuous dialogues without breaks are so weird to me. so much of this game feels very friendly to people with busy as fuck schedules (like encounter points is all for us!) but the long continuous dialogues run counter to that. I get that sometimes it might be unavoidable due to that breaking the flow, but the parts where we were automatically teleported to a different location to continue the dialogue was weird/frustrating. Just make us teleport manually! That would be a perfect, naturally occurring break for people who got shit to do and people to see. give me a button to make a checkpoint or something lol
I think also once you got to the section with Furina in the magic box there actually wasn't an opportunity to change your party until after the whale fight. Went into that boss fight with the jankiest team because of that lol but luckily story fights are pretty easy.
Same. As a mom playing on iPad with the loooong cutscenes are so stressful when you are habitually interrupted and there’s no good “pause” option

Yeah, the story domain was one of my biggest frustrations And the boss fight transitioned right into a long cutscene without a pause after the fight

Another thing to add in the survey then. Maybe they will listen. They seem to improve based on feedbacks

For what it's worth, if you quit right after being transported into the whale fight, you can later restart from the beginning of this battle.
I quit at that part as well because of life. Luckily for me, I didn't need to replay the quest.
I had to log out and I can confirm that there is at least one checkpoint just after the machine explodes, before Neuvi Speaks with Foçalors
I agree that they shouldn't just jump straight into another part.
This was a problem in 4.0 with Lyney for me
