Why on EARTH would you leave this awful long cutscene in E1 Savage?

Why does this need to be here? It has long, long lost its novelty in normal mode - I thought for sure they'd take it out, similar to the Halicarnassus sand trap.

Because the raid tier is a reference to FF8 and thats Eden's summon attack from FF8.

Also... its part of the dps check.

The minute long cutscene where you sit there twiddling your thumbs watching a comet shoot into space is not the dps check.

I don’t mind it. It’s incentive to not wipe ��

It's a awesome cutscene. Come on now.. Lol Can't you all enjoy the work they did for it? If SE listened to the forums, we wouldn't have any CS and story. I enjoy it and so as others.

I like it, its like if they bring sephiroth and he does super nova I want to see it with all its glory.

I think it is to ensure that you have no buffs on so you take the full damage.

Remember when I said it's apart of it? It happens right after it, lol.

Sure. Keep story mode in story mode. Just like Halicarnassus sand trap, this has no place in savage.

Watching a cut scene isn't a dps check. Fighting mobs is. If you don't kill the mobs, you don't get the cutscene. The long story mode transition doesn't need to be there between adds and next phase.

Innocence Transformance/Prestage was cut from EX, so I hoped they would remove this scene too.

does it hurt you to stop for like a minute? just think of it like a quick time out or something.

You're regening HP and MP during it. It's a nice breathing space for healers, and means we can save a use of Lucid Dreaming.

I agree it should be gone, though it could be worse, looks at Byakko extreme.

If you're pushing a 50+ wipes, I can see such a cutscene getting old quickly.
Shouldn't be the case for the first savage though.

Now I want a Knights of the Round length enemy attack.

And that's why i don't wanna do savage. Because of people like this. They will never be happy.

Could be worse. Could be the 3 minute cutscene version from ff8

Because they designed it as a semi-phase transition. You'll take full damage as buffs run out and your cooldowns will *mostly* be back up.

It's an excellent opportunity to recharge and give your fingers a rest.

They should also have never done zurvans and seiryus phase transitions either, talk about wasted time.

And don't even get me started on Exdeath and kefkas transitions....

I am, of course, being sarcastic

Just hold down the start button and use the boost button it will make it go by faster

I have to agree those big flashy attacks have a place in story content, but should be removed from the more serious content people have to do over and over for the next 2 or 3 months

No it shouldn't be removed. It is a wonderful reference to the strongest GF in FF VIII and it makes me appreciate that nostalgia. Boo hoo if you can't wait 1 min of your time out.

Don't do that ! it will increase the damage Eden does !

I don't mind it. I come out of the cutscene with all my MP and cooldowns refreshed. As a healer it means I don't have to be stingy in the first phase.

They can just make the attack of the boss to ignore mitigation and shields. Just like Innocence, that attack also ignore shields.

Innocence doesnt ignore shields, the damage deakt simply snapshots early. It snapshots right as the last add dies pretty much.

Still get damaged when I had mitigation just right before the add dies (and like the full damage like always).

This comment means nothing. They can just make the boss attack ignore mitigation and shield regardless of how Innocence does it.

Simple Cooldown recover, MP recover for healers and casters. Think about it.......

HOW DARE THEY PUT REFERENCES TO AMAZING MOMENTS OF FINAL FANTASY GAMES IN MY GAME?

I get to wiggle my fingers, get to watch a pretty neat cutscene and most importantly have a sip of my drink.

Remember folks! Stay hydrated while raiding!

Having clearing this yesterday, I can safely say that I...

Still don't care! Still a great cutscene, and it is still a part of the dps check! Removing it wouldn't be a bigger, for sure... but its only like 30 - 40 secs, nbd.

Because this is Final Fantasy Franchise.
