I get it, you want everyone to experience your newest big thing but Pay-to-Skip Story is a terrible idea, just scrap it.
Instead, streamline the quests and remove all those redundant fetch missions and filler stuff to reduce required time.
They could just lower the sound effects of these abilities instead of FLAT OUT removing them.
Now I hate how hollow and empty this ability feels.
Also sometimes hearing is the key, there are many nullification factors and I can't constantly check bottom right corner in middle of fight to see if I have it active or not.
If Grave Spirit sound effect ( or any ability sound effect ) is that tiresome for you, I am sorry. You can lower your sound effects slider or listen to music while playing. They are not perfect solutions but they are there.
