Thread: 1.0 to 2.0 - Cut Scenes

Yoshida said that the main reason why the Hildibrand CS are not voiced is because the devs do also last minute changes on these CS to make them better.
And I can say, the Hildibrand quests have really the best CS in this game

Hopefully we can get some good ones in the expansion or something. Something where they can take time to make a good scene.

Agreed...i would love to see better CSs...at least in the main scenario questlines, on another note...i wonder if they will make a new CGI trailer for the expansion like they did with ARR, i will admit i would love to see another one, but then again if it cuts into work on in-game CSs or any in-game development time then i can do without it.

Once support is dropped for the PS3, the in-game cut scenes will likely improve.

Until then...

Godspeed.

The whole gridania opening is just amazing.. I especialy like how the wood wailer show up out of no where after the moogles go by. Just something about the look and camera angles, graphics, and scenario of the cutscenes are all just amazing. Does anyon agree? Don't get me wrong, i love 2.0 just as much if not better than 1.0. But the cutscene quality just seems to be so much better to me but I always hear or read the devs say different. But looking at it I just dont see how they can say this..

Edit: Also it seems like it gives your characer more, well, character. lol. I dont recal ever hearing the voice of my character in 2.0 cutscenes. i only hear it durring combat..

Ah, wow! That was amazing. Thanks for showing us.

That's not the reason why. The PS3 does not limit creativity in terms of animations, effects, sounds, dialogue or the amount of time the development team spend on planning/crafting a proper cut-scene.

That's simply a time restriction on the developments teams part.

Another reason for this, is that the cut-scene is loaded in separately from the rest of the game, other un-necessary processes are removed during a cut-scene and then reloaded again after, therefore processing proper and memory simply isn't really as much of an issue (hence why cut-scenes are so smooth compared to the rest of the game on a PS3)

See my original post for more detail.

1.0 had the amazing leviathan intro and do you guys remember that one where the sky gets covered in dark clouds (in real time!!!). Those were so cool.

I don't know why they aren't even using mood specific music for most scenes like 1.0 and XI did.
So much of the main storyline just seems... For the lack of a better word; cheap.

I wouldn't go that far to say that there wasn't any memorable CSs, like others have mentioned the Hildebrand CSs were pretty hilarious, not to mention the small CSs of your before and after Duel with Hoary Boulder and Coultenet, i would name others but i don't want to spoil anything for newer players who might happen to be reading this thread.
