    Ten hours? Ha, I hope they are spaced out and have enough going on to stay interesting. Similarly, they better not be too long. I couldn't sit through a 20+ min cutscene.

      Haha that reminds me of how long Xenosaga cutscenes were. Some were so long they had a save point in the middle of them.

        Yeah...I definitely could never get into the game because of that. Just completely ruined the flow of the game.

        Actually, I can't say that because the game flowed a lot like the cutscenes did: slowly.

    So long as the story isn't a piece of contrite doody (and, if they are, then the cutscenes are skippable) it's all good.

    I like me some pretty pictures. But it does require a good balance between cutscenes and gameplay. A 20-minute cutscene, 3 minutes of gameplay, and another 20-minute cutscene can get irritating if it happens too often.

    This is more or less a JRPG norm, so its not off-putting for me.
