I feel like it is too hard to watch cutscenes again, you have to do alot of traveling and its hard to figure out the order your supposed to see them in. When ever I do CoP fights my party demands that I skip cutscenes to save time but I really like the story.
I would be very happy if there could be an easier way to watch them like all in one place.

And maybe make it so the cutscenes you can't see again, like the ones when you start playing in a nation can also be seen again.

A theatre somewhere would be nice, like some other FF games. Costs gil to enter initially and then a smaller fee per additional viewing. Being able to watch cutscenes in a set would be nice too.

I.E. - Selecting a "Chains of Promatia Marathon" will play ALL of your COP cutscenes from opening CS to the final/latest one.

It's nice to see other players that appreciate the storyline on here, most people just order you to hammer the confirm button till the CS is over and they can fight with something, tell their friends they've done it and get their 15 seconds of /l {Congratulations} and forget about the whole thing! >.>

Oh be careful what you wish for. All the COP cutscenes put together take nearly 8 hours.

There's a guy out there who actually did this with the 3 nation mission lines, ROTZ, COP, and TOUA, plus a couple more complex quest lines.

I totally agree..

The story was the MAIN reason I came back to this game.
Make us a place in jeuno, or wherever you gusy want to watch them all in order please

I would like this as well. It's a pain running around to the various Bards to be able to rewatch cutscenes.

A Theater in Vanadiel to re watch CS? HELL YA! =)

Yes please and thank you. I would love to sit back and rewatch all the CSs from a storyline someday without having to trek all over or watch them one at a time to do so.

I would love to see this happen, but not in Jeuno please, too much congestion there already. Perhaps a theatre in each nation? Bastok Metalworks is largely unused but not near Cid please (oh dear those teeth), South Sandy at the Mansion you have to visit as one of the final CS's before receiving the completion reward, Windurst, um any suggestions? Shantotto's or Yoran-Oran's Manor perhaps, or at the NPC who gives Diabolos prime quest, forget his name. Maybe in Misereaux Coast by the waterfall, or from the comfort of your own MH. Could also add a theatre choice at Monarch Linn.

I know there are some videos floating around out there of a lot of FFXI, but still would be nice to have something a little easier to get to in the game itself. :)

My own personal nitpick is the location of the Goblin Footprint in the Sacrificial Chamber. There's a great deal of back-and-forth with the Flame of Rancor just to rewatch part of the Rise of the Zilart storyline.

At least the removal of area caps in Chains of Promathia made rewatching of those cutscenes much easier.

One final annoyance: I can rewatch just about any cutscene in the game, except for the very first one I got (or the ones I got upon first changing allegiance).

I started another thread to make this same request. This would be a very welcome change. CS's are some of the stuff that SE does better than any other game developer. It would be great for all of us long time players to be able to easily relive the scenes that were hard earned in the past.

One other gripe I have, I just recently found out that the cutscenes for "A reputation in ruins" are unwatchable, which sucks as most cutscene viewers give you the option of viewing the scenes you could have gotten if things were done differently. (the rank 2 final missions also have this problem but at least you can view the one you took) and on a final note, it's kinda annoying that there's no way to view the normal dialog that comes from a quest outside of going line by line through the game data, though I realize that finding a solution to this would be a hard problem most likely.
