Were is my 3d Cinimatics? (ff4)

[CloudZidaneFusion]

I bought Final Fantasy Chronicals (the ff4/chrono trigger combo) and on the back it said there was 3d cinimatics in ff4. I have played far into the game and i have not seen one cinematic, except the one that takes place Before you reach the menu screen. Where are my Cinematics!!!!!!!!!?

[Big D]

There's that one before the title screen, and another one when you complete the game, after the end credits. But that's all.
The actual content of the game itself has been left virtually unaltered, just like the PlayStation re-releases of FFV and VI.

And there was much rejoicing

[CloudZidaneFusion]

That sucks.

*rejoice*

[Big D]

That sucks.

Perhaps; but if they did add cinematic cut-scenes into the game, then the die-hard, old-school fanatics would be all like "omg u hav defiled my gaem! I h8 Square! U ruin evarything!"
And that would suck too.

[DJZen]

Yeah, can't please everyone. Besides, it's a fun game without 'em.

[Doomgaze]

Did you see the opening movie? It's horrible. I don't see how you could possibly want more of that.

[Trumpet Thief]

chaos: There is more to a game then pretty, pretty graphics. Sometimes square concentrates more on that than the actually gameplay, which isn't too great either.

Rubedo: Just try out the game first; when I played it, I got hooked!

[Del Murder]

Edge fighting Rubicant made it worth seeing.

I enjoyed the scene of Rydia with her whip (I know that sounds horrendously questionable, but that's not what I meant). The magic effects were pretty neat, and I'm glad the costume and hair in those FMVs matches what the characters actually have in the game, unlike the FMVs from FFV and VI. The scene with the entire team was quite good, too.[q=Doomgaze]Did you see the opening movie? It's horrible. I don't see how you could possibly want more of that.[/q]Yeah, the quality of the animation is fairly poor, compared with what the system is capable of. But then, the FFIV FMVs were made a year or so before FFVII was released; the visual style is slightly similar, but the FFIV scenes look like the "primitive ancestor" of what came next.

I agree with him. Futher more the brought out the game, so that you can replay old games from the FF-series, that you cannot find anywhere, not matter how hard you look. (Unless you look in 2nd hand stores ofcourse). And when you buy it, you want to feel the game as it was (at least I did). But I can imagine that you're shocked. FFIV was my first game besides the modern FF's (FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX). I was pretty shocked to when I first saw the images. But later on I liked it very much. I hope you will do to, CloudeZidaneFusion

The FMV in all three games were faithful to Amano's character designs. It's just that, in FFIV, the characters were pretty faithful to his designs to begin with.

That, I do know

It's just that, in FFIV, the characters were pretty faithful to his designs to begin with.

You mean, Amano actually designed Rydia with green hair? Wouldn't that be the only time he's ever drawn a non-blonde female character?

[Chris]

Is actually quite strange that the FMV's in FFIV were so poor, compared to the ones used in FFV which were clearly of better quality.
Weren't the two games remade at the same time?
