Heavensward Menu Cutscene: WHY!?

----------------------

And why not?

It is indeed very spoiler heavy.

The cinematic contains the events of the 2.55 MSQ. If players haven't gotten that far it is rather a big spoiler.

The spoilers are indeed pretty heavy there, I wish that particular part wasn't included in the cinematic. It doesn't really fit the rest of it either, with most of the cinematic focusing on the Dragonsong War and Ishgard, only to cut to massive 2.X patch spoilers. There aren't any real "spoilers" for Heavensward other than showing off a few characters. I hope the next one doesn't do the same for the Heavensward Patch content.

I lucked out and heard the cutscene has massive spoilers, so I avoided watching it until I got the Heavensward content but...yeah, it's definitely irritating. Spoiling one of the most climatic moments of the pre-heavensward patches was a pretty bad move, in my opinion.

But isnt there a warning that the video contains spoiler for people who doesnt finished 2.55?

Nope. Just dives right to the CS.

I'm mostly just annoyed that it disregards any settings you set about FFXIV not playing music if it is in the background >.>
So if you get booted from the game and have to wait to get back in, maybe browse the internet a bit while you wait or whatever, every 30 seconds or something that cutscene starts playing that song...

yeah you are right,didnt really paid attention to that xD

I never understood that part, better to make it so the cutscene playes only if your account has atleast 1 character that has finished the 2.55 storyline.

It's not that huge of a spoiler considering what follows it.

I remember the trailer hitting the internet the day 2.55 dropped as a teaser for HW, and players raging that it completely spoiled everything in 2.55, even with the quick warning.


So, the fact it plays that movie instead of the ARR one if HW is installed, even if you haven't finished ARR, is a legit complaint.
