Proper cinematics

Sadly the FMV that they did do at the end of turn 12 got Yoshida's higher ups to tell him no more costly stuff like that one please and thank you.

I actually like the in game cinematics most of the time. Sure they don't always look amazing but at least the characters in them are the actual characters we see in the game (including our own characters) and the cutscenes have come such a long, long way since the start of 14. And we do get the occasional CG cutscene anyway.

Plus, yeah, the cost of CG cutscenes is pretty much definitely cost prohibitive anyway.

It would take too long to create such cutscenes. They can't even use voice over for most of them because they are working till the last minute on the story and there is simply no time left to voice the stuff.

It is not possible with the 3 months schedule of the patches.

Damn right that the cutscenes are hot garbage for the most part. It’s gotten slightly better as time goes on but I’d rather not even have ‘em if all it’s gonna be is cameras pannin’ over two people noddin’ at each other. Bonus points for poundin’ fists to palms or usin’ a fade out/pan to let someone take their hat off or pick up an object. It’s about as smooth an’ natural as a chunky voidsent.

Plus it ain’t even a bonus havin’ me there if all I get ta do is stand stupid while the monster of the week casually strolls offscreen.

I’m fine with real time cut scenes, what I want is more voice acting

I actually prefer the in-game models to the high-quality FMV ones. The characters look weird in the Shadowbringers opening video.

And they've been improving a lot with using custom animations to let characters physically interact, or just to avoid using the generic emote set.

Problem with using cutscenes is our characters probably won't appear.

1.0 gorgeous cutscene is the reason why gameplay is... Less than ideal and complete rehaul to 2.0 happened.

[LeoLupinos]

The cut-scenes are fine. The only thing is the lack of voice acting. I mean, what's the point in having a cut-scene for MSQ if it's not voiced like the majority of them? It's kinda of a cold water bath.
