Why should those be forced even the first time? Look, I ALWAYS watch the cut scenes no matter how many times i have gone through a game, but when I've been dieing repeatedly, I don't wanna hear "I got two words for ya kid... ATTACK!" like 10 times in a row. There's no reason you should force what you think should be seen onto other gamers. It's their choice to skip the story detail I say. Apparently Square thinks so too thanks to Final Mix. I will say this, it should be something you enable or disable as an option. I say this for ONE reason. I've accidently pressed a button during a cut scene before and boom, missed the whole thing. That's highly annoying.
Oh, OB1, we said cinema (meaning FMV I think) but I know at least I meant cut scene, which could mean either FMV, sprites talking to each other, or a Zelda style cut away. I'm saying all those could have a skip option, only not allowing a skip when you have to choose something in a conversation (again, a good reason not to skip is so you know what you are saying).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
