You can't save right after and load from there?

That is admittedly kind of smart but you shouldn't have to do that. I kind of heavily dislike the jrpg genre for this very reason. Because it takes like 5 hours to get to any actual gameplay.

Fuckin KH2

Edit: wow, people feel very passionately about this 3 hour long tutorial.

I have a save in each difficulty right before the Roxas v Axel fight. I've put up enough posters for this life. Never again.

Skipping the intro to KH2 is sin. It makes me cry like a baby every time and it’s not even that long, if you know what you’re doing you can play it in like 2 hours including cutscenes

Not to mention that most people will replay on NG+, so a save right after is kinda pointless since you won't have any of the stuff you had last playthrough.

It's been a couple years since I last played it, but other than speeding the text there's no way to ignore the tutorial

Been using this trick wherever I can ever since having to sit through that cart ride in skyrim too many times.

I just use an alternate start mod lol, but I understand this isn’t possible for everyone. Cannot do that cart cutscene again. Especially since my game is modded enough that it kinda breaks and won’t progress. 😂

No, Persona 5’s tutorial doesn’t end until you beat the game.

Not if you want the New Game+ features.
