Hey! Enjoyed your video! A few things from a 7+year vet of FFXIV 1. Always watch cutscenes in dungeon if you want. Most people are more than happy to wait. 2. In lower-level dungeons you will get people rushing through them -- mostly due to the scaling makes most damage completely inconsequential. So most players doing daily roulettes will just rush them. Try not to be too discouraged by it. It does stop being a thing when you get to the higher ones. 3. Your defiance came off because tank stances (and all buffs) always seem to fall off when your level gets synced down. You went from 23 -> 18 here for the dungeon so it dropped off. Get into a habit of double-checking it at the start. 4. The cute little sprout by your name should afford others the intel that you don't know what you're doing. People will likely pipe up in chat to help you or you can feel comfortable asking others about something you don't understand. You're really inquisitive and you read things so I have no doubt you'll find your way. But, just some things! I hope you continue to enjoy your time in Eorzea (and beyond)
