World changes

When "World changes" happen, can we get a CS when we log in, showing the event. I don't wanna log in one day and be like oh what happened to my world.

Not that I don't disagree, but if they didn't have this planned already chances are that it wouldn't happen. But then again, I guess it depends what type of cutscene you want? Full CGI or just an in-game one. I'd like to see a full CGI movie-like cutscene and watch Eorzea bathe in a tub of fire.

Hopefully they have had this planned for a while

This would be nice to have, instead of just logging in and having everything be different.

Honestly, it's so far away that it's likely that SE themselves don't know exactly what they're going to do with this.

Judging by how drastic the changes seem to be, I really doubt we'll just be "logging on as usual" as it's almost like a new game entirely. We'll probably have the starting cutscenes and maybe even tutorials all over again which I'm personally more than fine with.

It's not that far off... and it takes a long time to plan things like this. If making a nice cutscene is in there plan, they need story boards, designers, voice actors, yada yada and lots of time to get that all together.

+1 RemVye :P
Don't count on it. at most they will play that fancy new E3 trailer that's coming out soon.

Would be cool though, but I'm fine with just a fancy new trailer that actually reflects on what you can do in game.

Lol it isn't far away for them. Where I work as a programmer the lifecycle of a large project is not measured in hours, days or weeks but months and years.

That said, I fully expect a new CS either at the end of 1.x and/or the beginning of 2.0. Brand new players will need to understand why the world is in the state it is, a terrible apocalyptic event recently occurred after all. Veteran players will need something bridging the two different states of the world for continuity.

V2 will almost certainly have a new CGI opening cutscene. The current one might even be removed.

ya, but will it show a recap of events? or what?
We know they are going to have a new thing for E3.

They might just incorporate it into a new intro for 2.0 showing the old world being destroyed/reborn/etc. The meteor in the sky gets bigger with each patch so we might understand why the changes are coming well before 2.0.
