Thanks SE

[Yukiba]

I just wanted to create a thread thanking SE for making a brilliant set of final cut-scenes! I've commented on the forums several times about wanting the story and theme to be more gritty and serious. Similarly to the Dark Knight batman series or for anime fans, Attack on Titan.

Not so much everyone getting their limbs separated from their bodies all the time but just the desperation of the main protagonists in what would seem like hopeless situations. I am very much looking forward to Heavensward and again just want to thank SE particularly those who had the most influence on the story conceptually and those who actually choreographed all the movements etc. Brilliant display of story telling and the visuals/lighting at the end were amazing!

In short, I'm glad and thankful to know SE still has its ability to create an exceptional story that causes me to actually care about the characters who are in it. From ff6 (haven't played the others) to ff12 (seemingly even ff15 from the demo) you continue to carry on the art of good story-telling.

Ps. Just a suggestions, despite Yoshi-P's comments, it would go a long way to have our characters do more in cut-scenes besides watch and kinda frown/smile. Really look forward to you guys actually having our characters fight in the cut-scenes or be more involved somehow someway. I know its alot of work. But I'm confident your team is skillful enough and your fans/supporters are worth the time and effort in your eyes. Thanks!

Wow.. Couldnt have said it better myself.. I would definitely like to see our characters become more involved. Ive seen it suggested several times throughout the life of 2.0 myself included. Hope SE really gives ear to the feedback. I know it will be alot of work but I know they want this game to be great and having your character become more involved in the cutscenes would give a whole new feel to things. For instances it would be nice is maybe they gave us options on the type of character we are. Aggressive, laid back, sarcastic etc.. and based on that choice it would frame how we act in cut-scenes or maybe the cutscenes themselves offer us choices instead of the formal suggestion of an over arching characteristic you choose before hand. I think maybe this would help with yoshi-p's statement that them giving us character in the cut-scenes would force us one way or another.. idk, just a suggestion. They have talented creative staff I'm sure they can figure something out that isnt the kinda weak attempt at choice as displayed in the gladiator quest.
