Goblin footprint.

I like the idea +1

I supported this in another thread so I'll support this here.

Am I the only person who misses the abillity to watch old cutscenes? I think once the game is all sorted out I think we should be able to rewatch cutscenes...

Like most things I'm not saying this is a priority but I'd love to watch some of the higher level missions cutscenes over again.

Glad I found this thread. I think it's a VERY important topic to discuss, and you shouldn't undersell it, Jynx. They had something like it in FFX, where you could go to the "Sphere Theatre" in Luca, and either listen to various "Music Spheres" (tracks from the game), or watch "Movie Spheres" (the CSs from the game).

I thought it was a really interesting way to allow players to review their progress, in case they had "spammed" the X button all the way through them, the first time around; or just give them a chance to see the entire storyline at once. I play my brother's character for him a lot, and I hate the idea that he won't be seeing CSs for a bunch of the quests and/or missions I completed when he wasn't around -especially since it's his character lol...

It certainly isn't a "priority," given the current state of the game; but it is, without a doubt, a must-have, in my opinion. I really hope that this thread and topic, both, get the attention they deserve.

Maybe they could implement something like the sphere theatre in FFX, where you could pay x (20,000?) amount of gil to unlock the various movies and songs in the game. This could provide a much needed gil sink as well as the requested functionality.

I completely forgot about the "much-needed" gil sink aspect. That's a really good point too.

[LastAim]

Yes please. I love this idea. Bump.

What the heck does a goblin footprint have to do with watching cutscenes anyway?!

But, of course, in a story-based game it'd be sensible to have a cutscene theater or something.

We have An ability to View the Past, That should be the thing they use to do this imo.
They Could have us use crystals or something to force the ability rather then have it just happen at will, An make us work on the ability Via Quest chains.

- A Starter quest to View your scense (quests/sotry you have done)
- Then they could add another set of quests based around your Path companion and co to view the other city state story's from a slightly different PoV (maybe from one of the other main story charecters)
- A nice addition would be the ability to View events from the Past based around your GC's leader and co

The theatre idea form FFX would be great but I wouldn't want to see it as a pure gil sink, People who have Gil have it in abundance those who don't have much will struggle until the situation is more balanced.
This would be a great feature and should be available to everyone, Perhaps make it so you can unlock Via gil or do quests.

And since I've done this for every single one of these.... I'll quote myself, again.

Implementation Idea
Use a piece of the lore we already have: The Echo.

Add an NPC to each city that's a 'master' of the ability to use the Echo - and they could 'assist' us in revisiting our past experiences.

Once engaged with an Echo NPC, an interface menu much like the Journal would pop up, allowing us to choose which Class we would like to revisit events from (Main Scenario / Company storylines included).

From this menu, we would be able to select anything we've done so far - including being teleported into the instances regardless of their location. These anchors are extremely important, in my opinion, as they would allow players to relive an entire storyline without leaving the cities - which I consider to be paramount because the only downfall of the goblin footprint was having to solo my way to difficult locations (Like the promy spires) just to see my hard-earned progress again.

So... is there anything difficult about that implementation? Adding an NPC that lets you manually trigger the same cutscene and instance flags that first reaching the quest did in the first place? Sounds easy enough - just need to name, list, and connect the flags.


Bay? Rik? Anybody?

No, I said THE Echo, not just echo...echo....echo...echo...

Maybe this'll be the thread that gets passed on to the dev-lords or at the very least gets a reply.

I for one think this is a great idea. Like many have said, it helps to recap the story. Not only that, but it is a nice little addition and it would give a small extra sense of achievement when you see those movies stacking up

Heya!

I like this! It could be awesome if the system would save every cutscene that we have done in a menu in the Main Menu called "Echo" like you said.

Would work like this:
For every character you have a menu of the cutscenes you've unlocked. Doing this will solve the problem of which of your character show in the cutscene.
Every cutscene has a city-state to indicate it. As for now, it could be required to show only one of the main city-states where you create your character, but maybe in the future will be implemented cutscenes for quests in other city-states, so I thought to leave it there.
Locked cutscenes will be displayed as -----------.
You have first to select one of the lists (LiLo, Ul'dah, Gridania,...) before selecting a video.

How you find this? Could be a good implementation, a scrap or can be bettered?
Here's the screenshot of the idea: Clicky!

See ya!

This is a nice idea.
