The luka event is an immensely good example of why, do I care about him? No, Is the story interesting? No, Is it long as fuck? Yes
@enveied
I came back from a long break and got feixiao and it took me 3 days (12 hours of playtime) to unlock her best relic set it was aids
@daitoushoutou
You can't even skip speechless dialogue in daily missions that you have seen hundreds, thousands of times before.
@sliime1832
I started playing 3 weeks ago and im currently doing all sidequests and it feels horrible i just want to quit
@clove5958
Nah, I agree. I got lingsha the other day, BUt to raise her traces i NEED to finish the story until the end just for those stupid Traces material. Good thing I'm not that far away from the story, but imagine if new player got her. Having skip button would definetly help, and they should also add story replay button for those who forget or miss the story.
@CHKurono
I totally get and agree for them to add skip buttons to their story mode, but idk man, the Clockie statue to me was not a very bad tradeoff. Like you said yourself, that statue rewards you with one of the most busted units in the game, in which, how do you usually get one of the most busted units in the game? Yeah, by paying money and gambling them. With that statue, they incentivises you to at least explore a bit, play the game and all that is free. If you don't have the time to do it yet, then save it for later, since it's not even a limited time event, it's totally permanent. I get that maybe this statue is like a filter to anyone as to notify them of the future where they actually want to push upfront and background storytelling a bit more, so if people felt like this is something that is wrong or something else like that, I guess it's like they're trying to say that the game wasn't made for them. Totally no disrespect though. Good on you to give out this opinion out here, because it's definitely a problem to some of the playerbase and pretty important if the game really want to keep their playerbase who prefers to play Star Rail like a regular, fast gacha game. I'm quite positive that they'll eventually add something akin to ZZZ skipping, we just have to wait and see.

I always wanted a skip button in Genshin and Star Rail, but it wasn't until I played Wuthering Waves that I realized how bad it really is to not have one. I actually enjoyed going through and doing random unvoiced side quests because I didn't have to sit there and spam spacebar and click random dialogue choices waiting for it to be over. Additionally in Genshin and in Star Rail, I refuse to do story quests for characters I don't care about because I don't want to waste hours of my time about a guy who I can't care less about. I know some people will counter and say it makes it easy or that there is no point in playing the game if you have one, but if the choice is to not engage at all or force your players to painfully wait through it, it should be a no brainer decision to add a skip button. Star Rail is a single player game, Genshin is a single player game with an open world that you can co op with, let the player make the decision on what they want to care about or not. Also forcing myself to sit through hours of hearing about Aventurine's tragic backstory, when I dislike his character and find him extremely obnoxious, just for the sake of continuing the storyline makes me not want to play Star Rail again after coming back from a 7 month hiatus.
@whytrapstar4080
I love Star Rail, but I have absolutely no idea what's happening. I ignored the dialog since day one, and that healing dragon lady and firefly are my favorite units and I know nothing about them😢
@supanjibobu372
The story in that dreamland arc (i already forgot its name) was so boring i just put it on auto dialogue left it in the background and watched game of thrones instead. My MC harmony is still only at e1 lol that statue is stupid
@ExcessumGaming
Lack of skip button imo is 1 think that made me almost quit so many times. I just have to run the game on second screen and let it run w/o even looking to pass that crap and it takes whole day to get trough it
@DigitalStarry
Yeah, I used to play Star Rail but one of the reasons why I dropped it is because the devs are too proud of their story to let you skip. They won’t let you even mash the textboxes to skim through it. My current home gacha is Persona 5X and I occasionally play WuWa. What do those games have in common? They put a skip button in lol
@gachagaming495
It’s coming in 3.4 it was programmed in the game since release it just didn’t appear unless it was repeated dilog but now it’s added to all dilog
@yuorion3056
sometimes the characters story involvement and development does make me like them more initially i thought jiaoqiu was kind of mid and not very great but his personality grew on me a lot, so i accept him more as a unit (even despite having skipped him, i was very tempted)
@supercheerful6298
I force myself to do the Main quest for the Penacony cause I need the relics for lingsha Oh my god it took me weeks to finish the story I was about to go insane spamming the space bar I really hope they add skip button
@neohowl314
Honestly, it needs it, I don't care about the generic anime plot or the long talk moments on topics that don't matter to the plot. They are too proud that the community doesn't appreciate their story, when gachas like FGO that are more narrative give you a skip button
@kaka09876543210
They will never implement skip button.
@yuorion3056
as much as i like the story its starting to get a little drawn out with all the dialogue
@nonmetateams4278
i'm a new player, 4 days so far and i like the game a lot, except the lack of a skip button and honestly will probably make me drop the game at some point. i started Etheria beta today and i'm liking it more just because of the skip feature, i can go directly to combat all the time and ignore the story.
@kaneku3096
As a new player, i literally 100% AGREE they need a skip button. I recently got firefly and the story is too tedious, i can't level up my traces till i finished the long yapping session from Jarilo-VI to Penacony(・∀・) Plus it's not bad having a choice (•‿•) if we want to enjoy the story or not.
