[dev1002] No quest cutscenes no motivation to play.

[Zhyrios]

Am I missing something? How dramatic does a cut-scene have to be when its just you talking to a guy who wants you to refuel some fires in the forest? Should they add camera pans and dramatic angles pointlessly? No, I say leave the extra effort for awesome cut-scenes to quests once they have an established amount of little side-quests and have the time to work on making big side-quests.

At the moment they're piling up on the quests since there were NONE before. you may have forgotten that one of the reasons this game flopped so hard at release was a lack of content; regardless of how beautiful the graphics are.

What they're doing now is right, they're adding more CONTENT. regardless of whether the package is in a shiny cutscene or not.

the quality of XIV's cutscenes are 10x better than any i remember in XI. the opening cutscene for gridania's story, to me, was amazing. so much technicality and different effects made it so much better than XI's. you said that they didn't learn anything from XI? they learned how to make a quality cutscene using different camera effects such as slow motion.

if you had any peek at the R46 cutscene; then to me that would be enough motivation to get to R46 and see it and experience it for myself. if you want to only do quests with cutscenes, i suggest actually getting to R46 to get all the cutscenes which isn't hard to do once you actually try. and i mean try to find a group, party and do levelinks. and then get each of your class to 20 which is also not hard to do and do the class quests for the cutscenes.

i hope ppl know there was a huge difference beyween a
"storyline" quest and a "side quest" each quest does have lore on differenr scales. like a side quest to get mary's mile to a woman who couldn't sleep. that is town lore as you are learning about the people who live in the town

all the side quest atm are just to learn more about the npcs who "live" in the game. It wasn't going to add to the main mission lines story.
Like Sir learning of a lalafell who murdered someone by pushing them down the on some stairs.

I don't think anyone has trouble seeing the difference between those 2 in XI or XIV and it's not what this thread is about.

actually it is

i forgot to finish what I was typing.

storyline quests had cs.
side quests did not have cs

storyline quests are not just the main mission, but quests that are in a chain. like SOB or that 1 in sandy with the guy from the past who used a staff to someone get into the present, this weas b4 wings was out.


sidequest are just lil bit lore teasers w/o using cs.

Did XI quest writers die or get fired?

Did they die? lol
