why during cutscene its always like this ... (small spoiler)

^ this right here. Also not to mention adding them to all 6 races.

6 races not to mention male and female genders so 12 in total.

12 x12= 24 separate cut scenes they'd have to make. So pretty much they decided it's much better to not do that and instead put the time and effort that it take do make 24 different cs into other stuff. Which is a good call.

While it be cool if our character did do something like fight in the cs its better to not waste time with it.

Ps. Not to mention they'd have to go back and add more once new jobs are in and if they ever add a new race.

Beat me to the punch. I was going to be much snarkier though.

I mean, seriously Imagine if they added us fighting at only the most obvious opportunities. The fight with the Sahagin, The fight with the Warriors of Darkness, and there is probably another I'm forgetting. Assume we get one every Expansion. Not even the updates. Assume that they just have us using skills and avoid actions that require them to make distinctions by race. Slashes and spells only. Heavensward means they need to go back and add three new fight animations to the Sahagin fight. Assume they add one new class next expansion and one new fight scene. They then need to add a new class scene to two different fights, as well as the thirteen animations ((Assume Scholar and Summoner are going to cast ruin and stuff to cut down on animation)) for the new fight. 5.0 they add one new class. Three new animations for the 2.X to 4.X fights and fourteen new fights.

Also, the hilarity of going to the storybook ((Why you can have a Darkknight in the 2.X cutscenes.)) to watch my Weaver toss her sewing pad about like a sword ((the game treats DoH and DoL classes as Gladiators for animations. S'why you thrust with a pickaxe.))
