Some people like things you don't like. Big deal.
I never said I didn't like it. I said I don't get the hype from people acting as if this is so different from typical FF cinematic scenes. I realize it's hell to like a game that's the "underdog" or that most people deem as horrible, but try not to assume that everyone who disagrees with hype over a single cinematic, in a 2+ year old game, falls in the category of hating the game.
Aside from being in HD and featuring main character NPCs in the cinematic, it's not that different from FFXI's opening. Hence my statement about not understanding the hype surrounding this cinematic as if it's some huge ground-breaking scene. Is it a good cinematic? Yes. I like the cinematic and want to see FFXIV succeed in 2.0, as I'm a legacy member and will hopefully be returning for the long haul. Is it also similar to other FF cinematics? Yes.
Some people have a different opinion than you. Big deal.
