Thanks y'all for your replies !!

But I can see some confusion ~¤
I don't speak of cinematics like the openings .
I speak of the custscenes, and the ones we used to have during the 1.0 era. In witch our character was doing more than simply nodding. The animations were smooth and not premade emotes. That's my issue.
The scene where Papalymo and Yda meet our character in Gridania. It was hilarious.

I miss those.

Now, it's true that the amount of work behind those is horrendous and the time schedule being short doesn't help.
I rewatched some of the latest cutscenes and I can see some effort being put to those.
