Hey Square Enix, that is the level we except in cut scenes!

[Gaddes]

And even FFXI is better at cutscenes, so SE could do it for FFXIV, they just...don't

Remember when other companies looked to SE to see the future of game graphics and animations? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

C'monnnn, don't be that guy. You're being disingenuous with that by showing the tail end of Rhapsodies of Vana'diel that was meant to be the literal end of the game so they pulled out all the stops. The vast majority of cutscenes in FFXI were never much to write home about (and I'm not talking about the story content, I'm talking about visual presentation) and would only have a couple noteworthy moments usually towards the end of an expac.


Could we have better cutscene moments particularly for our WoL in FFXIV though? Absolutely. We've gotten some better ones with the more recent expacs, but there's still a lot further we could go.
