You'd have an awesome cutscene, and all you can do is scratch your head and walk slowly.

    Let's use the Futures Perfect cutscene as an example. What happens in this cutscene? EXPLOSIONS! FLIPS! MAGIC! BULLETS! Then there's you...literally standing still the entire time...half the time you aren't even on the screen. Your NPC helper is a swappable model, so why can't Square-Enix have an animation for our characters doing something more interesting than "be there?" I'd like to see my character be awesome every now and then...
    Haha I totally get what you mean! I gotta admit it was bad when in wings of the goddess, ragelise is being all basass and shieldbashing sh*t while davoi burns, but you run to a screeching halt and then ......nothing

    I'd love to see our characters be awesome! You're right Kiri!

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means
