I'm not saying SE couldn't do it if they tried, but I just don't see any reason for them to do so, especially given the fact that they're probably wanting to more or less destroy any hint of 1.0 having even existed, given it's stigma and everything (ARR is meant to not just reboot it, but replace it.).
I'm not asking for something to be added to ARR, but a whole stand alone cutscene viewer entirely. Like the benchmarks...for instance.
