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

The only way I think they can account for this type of issue is to design the more involved cutscene to not involve using WoL's individual job they are using. Instead focus more on their Job Role so that they will only need to just make 5 different versions of the events. That way they won't have to worry about needing to account for all jobs (old and new) but only focus on what WoL will do based on their Job Role which is only Tank, Physical DPS, Magic DPS, Melee DPS, and Healer

This is a better angle than just inventing a singular weapon for us to use, because that singular weapon will itself be biased in favor of certain jobs. Give us a sword? Sounds great for Paladins, Vipers, maybe Dark Knight if the sword's chunky enough, but to everyone else that's going to feel like the story writing them out rather than in. Hell, it might not even work for all the jobs with swords: Ninja and Red Mage wield their weapons very differently, it'd feel wrong to have them use an animation more akin to Paladin.

But even then, how much more involved is this going to be than the story's usual go-to of having the WoL draw their weapon and then either going into in-game combat or cutting to another focus character in the scene? Is this going to somehow need five entirely different iterations of a scene where each job can do something relevant to their skillset (remembering that said skillsets include healing and tanking), that all amount to nothing afterwards because they all have to end with the same results? What happens if someone pulls up this cutscene as, say, a Carpenter?

But incidentally, this is actually very close to something they did do in Dawntrail: after the solo duty fight against Gulool Ja Ja, he gives you a compliment according to your current role. With it just being one line, they don't have to answer any of these complicated questions, though; if you rerun that cutscene as a crafter or gatherer it just skips the line entirely.
