In the late 90's, it was all the rage, but now it seems times been changing. Now, people are now sick of cut scenes in games, Jrpgs have a bad reputation in the west for being crappy, and western games have really taken off in the last 5-6 years. Games like Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Insomniac games, and etc. The last really big Final Fantasy game to come out was FFX back in 2001. That was a long time ago and people most, not all, of what Square Enix makes now has both dismal sales and game reviews. Has the Final Fantasy brand kept up with the changing times? Can any Jrpg ever get WW long lines again?

I had the impression that the amounts of gamers sick of cutscenes were a minority.  Also, that JRPGs have a bad rep thing is not true.

 

 

I looooooove my cutscenes...assuming they're well done
