multiplayer cutscenes?

[pastel sundial]

hiya, I'm trying to show a friend the game, so I started a new save file for coop.

however, as I'm hosting it turns out they aren't seeing any of the cutscenes when we enter a location, whereas I am. I feel like they're missing out on a lot of the characterization that makes the game so special, so I was wondering if there was any way to change this? or is our only option to restart and have them host the save? (I have already played the game a lot, so by and large I've already seen the cutscenes)

thanks!

the only shared cutscenes are story ones, like pufferfish first meet and etc. Town events like slice of life or heart events for character are individual

As wecouldtalk says - they will need to see and find the non-story cutscenes on their own

ok, but what exactly does that mean?

for example: we just started a new save, so none of the cutscenes have triggered yet at all. however, when we both enter The beach shack for the first time (more or less simultanuously) I get the cutscene where Sunny and Eleonore give me the fishing rod and bug net, but they don't get to see anything, even though in theory all prerequisites should be met, right? do note that they did receive the net and rod in the mail later. (as did I, as my inventory was full)

The first shared cutscene should be either a Mayor Connor introducing town rank system or Pufferfish moving in. Those types of cutscenes that relate to story.

Receiving tools is an individual cutscene

ok, so why didn't it trigger for them though? or do they not get to see those?

can you clarify whether quest to visit the beach shack is completed for both of you? of just for you as the host?

Hi friendsss! Also checking in :>

What happened when your friend entered the beach shack together with you for the first time? Can they see your farmer standing on the doorway, or was there just blackscreen? also, have your friend been able to see other cutscenes? 😮

I don't know if they saw my character during the scene, but they didn't see any cutscenes themselves at all; the beach shack was just an example.

earlier we also entered Sam's store, where I got to see the cutscene with Sam and Connor (which I believe isn't tied to a quest), and I realized something was off when they mentioned they just met Eva.

so they simply didn't get to see anything, but the game moved on normally.
