    CUT SCENE DILEMMA

    Hey everyone,

    I was curious to see what everyone's thoughts were on the possibility of SE adding some kind of CS (Cut Scene) Viewer to the game. They had something like it in FFX, where you could go to the "Sphere Theatre" in Luca, and either listen to various "Music Spheres" (tracks from the game), or watch "Movie Spheres" (the CSs from the game).

    I thought it was a really interesting way to allow players to review their progress, in case they had "spammed" the X button all the way through them, the first time around; or just give them a chance to see the entire storyline at once. I play my brother's character for him a lot, and I hate the idea that he won't be seeing CSs for a bunch of the quests and/or missions I completed when he wasn't around -especially since it's his character lol...

    Does anybody else feel like the game could benefit from such a feature? I think it would be a lot of fun to be able to watch the storyline as a whole, all over again, once you get far enough into the main story.

    I think this would be a good idea, especially when more quests and missions come in, possibly just a bard like FFXI had, doesnt have to be anything too big.

    I don't know if you played XI. Besides a Bard NPC, this is another way to experience past cut scenes in FFXI. Personally, I would either like a Bard NPC or something akin to FFX luca theather. But all this is discussed extensively in those other threads =p

    I just "bumped" one of the threads you were talking about, Holland. Everyone, stop posting in here, and jump over to it! Keep it alive, so it gets a lot of views and replies xD -I really, REALLY want this added T.T

    Actually, now that I think about it...a lot of ppl won't even look at the other thread, cuz they don't even know the XI terminology lol

    So, maybe just keep this one going I guess xD -Sucks that they don't allow ppl to change their thread titles.

    I don't know about a viewer but I think if player's want to view the event scenes for a battle, that the battle does not begin or continue until everyone has either viewed it or skipped it. Doing the level 25 ifrit quest, I was viewing the cutscenes, when I started hearing battle sounds that had nothing to do with the cutscene. When it finished, ifrit was already almost dead before I could do anything. Turns out some of the party members skipped the cutscene. They even had the audacity to be annoyed with me for viewing it.

    And since I've done this for every single one of these.... I'll quote myself, again.

    Once engaged with an Echo NPC, an interface menu much like the Journal would pop up, allowing us to choose which Class we would like to revisit events from (Main Scenario / Company storylines included).

    From this menu, we would be able to select anything we've done so far - including being teleported into the instances regardless of their location. These anchors are extremely important, in my opinion, as they would allow players to relive an entire storyline without leaving the cities - which I consider to be paramount because the only downfall of the goblin footprint was having to solo my way to difficult locations (Like the promy spires) just to see my hard-earned progress again.

    So... is there anything difficult about that implementation? Adding an NPC that lets you manually trigger the same cutscene and instance flags that first reaching the quest did in the first place? Sounds easy enough - just need to name, list, and connect the flags.


    Bay? Rik? Anybody?

    No, I said THE Echo, not just echo...echo....echo...echo...
