Can we please stop with Cutscenes where we just stand around?

[Cleretic]

I understand that you liked Dawntrail and wanted to defend it, Cleretic, but what was the excuse for not even having the WOL try to help heal Gulool Ja Ja if they were on a healer class? You know when Alphinaud and Alisaie and Krile stepped up to try and heal him, and the WOL just stood there twiddling their thumbs? I went into that cutscene as a WHM and didn't even try to help. It was pathetic, especially when an earlier cutscene acknowledges if you're a Culinarian of all things.

That's entirely unrelated, but okay, let's talk about this entirely new conversation.

Fortunately, it's very simple: three people healing the guy to no avail probably means a fourth isn't going to help. However, Gulool's also by no means the only person who dies from a mortal wound in our vicinity that we haven't lifted a finger to help, so this a bit of an ongoing thing and I question why you're only complaining about it at this time. Why not complain that we didn't heal Harchefaunt?

The underlying ongoing reason, by the way, is probably that having healer abilities actually work in cutscenes would require drastically rewriting every scene where someone gets a great injury... but also you can never succeed at it because that would derail how the story goes.

Also, I actually don't like how arbitrary their recognition of what jobs you've got leveled are, so don't act like I'm treating that as perfect; there's multiple storylines in DT about medicine and alchemy, and none of them mention if you're an Alchemist. Even the part of the MSQ where they say an accurate assessment of a situation would be a job for specifically an Alchemist doesn't acknowledge it, it sucks! But it sucks in a way that's entirely unrelated to the subject of the thread.
