When I played XI, anytime I got to a cutscene I swear it would automatically end because someone in the party wanted to move on.

It's made me skeptical of mmo stories, how is it even presented if you're also meant to have a constant gameplay experience?

So in XIV, for the majority of the time during the main story you're playing it like any other single-player RPG, so everything happens at your own pace. When you're partying with other players for dungeons or trials, it won't start until everyone is ready, which includes allowing first time players to view cutscenes. Those cutscenes are never that long though so people don't have to wait for too long.
