1.0 had far better cutscenes. World's apart. The developers for 2.0 had to rush this aspect of the game, and I noticed it immediately. For those who want to remember what 1.0s cutscenes used to look like...

We need to go back to this. I know 2.0 was on a rushed deadline, but the fact so much of this quality storytelling is lost, in a Final Fantasy game depresses me.

1.0 was bad in a lot of ways, but it was great in others, if you were there, you had to have seen that. The game had a lot of heart.

Yoshi, I hope you and your team take great pride in the cutscenes in the future. Please. ♥
