Remember the cut scenes replaying Bard in towns in XI? And the cut scenes replaying goblin? Bring it back. I'd love to just sit down and watch a whole story (in case I forgot parts with all the grinding in-between), or feel safe skipping and then replaying it back in town. Not so much running my butt back to the dungeon like the Goblin forced you to, but just having some NPC to replay ALL cut scenes back in the comfort of town, I'd love.

Oh, and for the Love of Jeebus, when the cut scene's done, give us a "System Message" that tells us the title of the cut scene.
I really really like this idea! It seems like a simple enough fix to just leave the CS as they are and if you have to spam through them then you can watch them on your own accord another time.

Maybe another suggestion instead of BRDs or Goblin Footprints would be to watch them without logging in completely. By replacing the "Opening Movie" on the title menu with "Unlocked Movies". Each player could have their own personal library of video to view without logging in and being disrupted by shout chat or Linkshell conversation (or having to change filters around).

Would be a cool way to measure your personal progress through story and quest lines too! Definitely would motivate me more to do my missions and quests asap if I could see stats. Like if I had "28 or 120" videos unlocked or something of that sort. Maybe too console-like for some though ;)
