FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FF12, FF13, FF14 Custscenes

I spent a lot of time in 11, mostly end game but toward the end of my playing I played for myself. SO I went back and enjoyed some old Custscenes, and places. When I recorded CoPs ending cause I loved that whole story line.

Always a treat to re-watch FF cutscenes. While I loved the ver. 1 story and enjoyed all the cutscenes, I've always wanted more from them, specifically from climactic parts. For anyone who's watched the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I'm sure you all remember when we first walked into the underground goblin city in the Misty Mountains. I couldn't help but wish that's what our cutscenes will be like for the beastmen cities in ARR:

And this concept art:

has always made me wish we'll get something to the scope of this from LOTR The Return of the King.

I also wish we could fight or at least show us do the finishing blow after a boss. While I understand fighting would be difficult for several logistical reasons (like having separate animations for each battle class), all we do is take out or put away our weapons! How amazing would it be if our party escaped from the Kobold capital city like the goblin escape scene from the Hobbit or a full war while riding on chocobos like the XII intro. Instead, we only get "glimpses" of epicness then go to gameplay or cutaway once it starts getting good.

Did they ever explain that voice "Hear... Feel... Think..." ? Or were we just suppose to chalk it up to our "echo" powers?

While we know it's connected to the echo, I think the full explanation was supposed to come in future main story quests. Guess we'll learn the true meaning in the "rebooted" main story in ARR?

What is it, like 15 years? FFVII cut scenes still make me shed manly tears.

I stopped playing FF7 after that cutscene, and have never managed to get past that point...

I have the 3 opening movies for Grid, Limsa and Ul'dah already in there.
The other two are too text heavy. Just looking for the high production value CGI CS's really. :P
Thank you though.
But at least they are here now for anyone who wants to see them.
Still looking to add the good ones if I am missing any.

No problem, figured it didn't hurt to offer all the cutscenes since the other FFs were also a collection of all of them. Here's a list of the "high-production" XIV cutscenes that use voices and not textboxes. These are just the ones from my memory so maybe there's more?

Never the Twain Shall Meet (Limsa) - Ocean battle with the Sahagin
Never the Twain Shall Meet (Limsa) - The clouds gather after the Y'shtola/Sthalmann fight
Beckon of the Elementals (Gridania) - Khrimm lighting a tree on fire
Beckon of the Elementals (Gridania) - The clouds gather above the cleansing ceremony
Calamity Cometh (Ul'dah) - Corguevais summons the minemites to attack
Calamity Cometh (Ul'dah) - The clouds gather above Ul'dah as Niellefresne dies
Futures Perfect - Gaius/CoK battle in Mor Dhona.

It really makes me sad sometimes..
Look at all the magnificent ideas in these CS's and I bet half the dev team hasn't even seen them before.
They need to have a day or even a week at work, where all they do is watch every CS from every FF game. I think that would really give them a better idea of what this world is really capable of.
It feels like we live in the bible days sometimes..
We had freaking Alexander as a city...
We have towns that uproot themselves and fly around and attack each other..
We have ultimate weapons and ruby weapons and insanely high tech airships and machina..
FF is more than a game now.. It's a never ending story.

They won't do that because their bosses don't care. :(
Btw that websites got some NSFW ads and thumbnails.
