While I'm on the subject of missing battlefield cutscenes, I note that this one is both still unresolved and unlisted in any of the new bug-report forums.



Missing "Moon Reading" cutscene

Platform: Windows
ISP: Telia
Type of Internet Connection: ADSL
Internet Connection Speed: 8Mbps
Date & Time: Oct. 16, 2011 23:40 CET
Frequency: At least once
Character Name: Isilien
Race: ElvaanF
World: Cerberus
Main Job: DRG91
Support Job: SAM
Area and Coordinates: Full Moon Fountain
Party or Solo: Party with 3 members
NPC Name: None
Monster Name: None

Steps:
1: Accepted the 9-2 Windurst mission, Moon Reading.
2: Went to Chamber of Oracles to get the cutscene.
3: Went to Temple of Uggalepih.
4: Went to Ro'Maeve.
5: Returned to Windurst, was told to go to the Full Moon Fountain.
6: I go there with two party members, I initiate the battlefield, which I have never done before since I just got Windurst rank 9 today.
7: I stand there wondering why the other two are just standing still, and why there is no cutscene. Turns out there is one, just I didn't get it.
8: We finish the battle, I return to check the goblin footprints, I want to see that cutscene. But I can't check it out there, either.

I am rank 10 San d'Oria and Bastok, it skipped the cutscenes in Throne Room for 5-2 as well, but I could live with that, I've seen it.
But for the Windurst mission, I want my missing cutscene.

I have painstakingly pinned down the exact actions to trigger this in another thread (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/35585-Missing-9-2-Cutscene-Workaround), specifically:

1. It only affects the first player to enter the battlefield
2. It can be worked around if, after all others have entered, the affected player leaves the battlefield and the area and comes back in (where possible)

And also I added other affected battlefields when I found them:

Full Moon Fountain--"Moon Reading"
Throne Room--"Where Two Paths Converge"
Stellar Fulcrum--"Return to Delkfutt's Tower"

This issue was already addressed (most effectively) where it affected the Rank 5 Final Mission in Throne Room. It would be really nice if you finally got around to fixing this bug that's been affecting new players for years
