I Like the Recent Cut Scenes

I just want to issue praise for a subtle element introduced in recent cut scenes. I've noticed that the player character is now included in some of the cut scenes. This happens both in the new SSA and in the Blockbuster event. It only seems to use one team member in each scene, but this small change in focus really helps me feel more immersed and like the cut scene is relevent to this specific character.

Thank you very much for this change. It's a subtle thing, but for me it gives the scenes much stronger impact. The plus for you is the more you include these sorts of elements, the more "social prestige" there is and incentive to really work on a cool costume.

Is there a possibility future trials might include group shots? As much as I love the shot below, I would it een more if we could see al 4 teammates in it, about to square off against the enemies.

yeah and it would've been cool if they include all the teammates like they did in the Mortimer Kal's Strike Force.

They did include other people in those cutscenes as well. Example the Magi trial and of course Lam, wth the notorious Hwey look at me funny dancing whle Bab was holding his speech.

But yes, overall, I like them. The Blockbuster ones are really usefull in the Casino Heist and the Colliseum is colour locale. Of course, it will grow old after a dozen time watching it.

On this last one, you can kinda see how outsized the plebes in the audience are.

You can even kinda see it with Hyperstrike, who's literally as big as the costume creator can make a toon.

Yeah I agree..these ones are nice. I cant actually recall WHICH ones, but there are quite a few that have utterly awful camera angles, with text boxes off the screen and stuff. They really ruin it..but these ones are excellent.

Nope. It seems to be random.

This.

FCM and I were running these with a couple of friends last night and more than once it picked the person who was the slowest zoner (and thus had the character farthest from the door-)

That said, it's still a very cool scene. XD



"No worries," Palrah the tank says. "I got this."

He was even dressed the part.

I didn't know this. I'm actually not sure I've ever done Mortimer Kal.

The Mortimer Kal has a nifty cutscene where you square off against Positron, and features your entire team.

Seconding the idea that the newer cutscenes are cool - the fact they now have moving camera angles lends them a new aesthetic sense.
