Forced Tutorial: Difference between revisions

Line 66:

** The tutorial in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' about the license system isn't skippable. (It is, however, thankfully short.)

** Neither are the tutorials showcasing the characters' abilities and some battle maneuvers in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''.

** As well as ''[[Final Fantasy X 2]]''. Once you get the stolen garment grid back, the game requires you use it in the next battle in order to show you how to use it, even if said battle would be faster and easier if you didn't use it.

** As well as ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''. Once you get the stolen garment grid back, the game requires you use it in the next battle in order to show you how to use it, even if said battle would be faster and easier if you didn't use it.

** While tutorials are skippable in ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', several more tutorials were added that weren't present in the Japanese version.

** Many tutorials in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' are skippable, but the tutorial on Gau's Rage mechanic is not. It's not that long though, and it has some entertaining music at least.

** The first ten chapters in ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' are effectively one long tutorial where they introduce the game's mechanics bit by tiny bit.

* Special note goes to ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'', where half the time, the boy that saved the net many times now forgets how to kill [[The Goomba|Mettaurs]].

Line 125:

* ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'' forces you to scroll through the tutorials, even if you've already reached [[New Game+]].

* ''[[Dead Space (video game)|Dead Space]]'' tutorials are little windows that pop up explaining something. You can't do anything else until you dismiss them. This is normally not a problem until the one about being in a vacuum pops up - every second spent reading is one less second you have before your air runs out!

** ''[[Dead Space 2]]'' is a little less annoying about this, using the 'learn or die' method for many concepts or using pop ups in quiet areas.

Line 146:

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas|GTA: San Andreas]]'' made you complete flight school to progress, despite you being able to fly perfectly fine previously, and despite you never needing to use the maneuvers that the school teaches you.

** But you do get a prize for doing it well enough, so it's not a total time waster.

** It's [[That One Level|horribly frustrating]] though.

** [[Truth in Television]] if you've ever tried to get a pilot's license.

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' spends a good deal of time teaching you the basics of driving, navigating with your GPS, clothes shopping, socializing, melee combat, etc. It's worked into the narrative well, but it's still a bunch of tutorials, and you still can't skip them.
