Don’t be Scared by Story Complaints

[mdesaleah]

Multiple scenes from the first game were cut in updates due to some backlash, but isn’t classic mode there for those people? Let those who enjoy the story REALLY enjoy it, and leave those complaining that there are too many to play Classic mode. I don’t mean to ignore all complaints though. Just remember to at least cut in moderation.

What cutscenes were removed?

Anyway I don't mind the story if it's just to explain why we are in a new level.

I could agree that Sonic began to go downhill when the game began to have more story (bad voice acting and animations) but FP is better than what Sega could do

I like the story in some 3D Sonic games :(. Most of the scenes removed in the first Freedom Planet were minor and like the dev just said some contradicted information. Some other scenes like the one during the boss fight added a bit more character. For Sonic stories I prefer the action stories like Adventure 2, but Freedom Planet has long become its on separate series.

We never removed any cutscenes, we did shave down two of them a little bit to make them more bearable, removing sequences that either covered redundant information or were actually plot holes.

Sorry for the confusion here. Can’t wait for 2.

Let's be honest story shouldn't really matter that much for any videogames (with some rare exceptions when it has more cinematographic elements such as Heavy Rain)

I mean I prefer playing a Sonic game for its gameplay then watch every cutscenes afterward.

Well true. I do like the rare times where the story and gameplay follow each other. Adventure 1-2, Freedom Planet, did that well. If the gameplay was bad in any of those, then the story wouldn’t save anything.

I find it charming. The main characters are children after all. (Until 2 where they look older)

Wait, your cringe is over people being excited about Sushi because you don't get sushi?

[Cheese]

I cringe because I'm reminded of this every time.

What about "Sound of Brevon"? (sorry I call it that for fun, it's br_15) It's really a very interesting cutscene, I'm kinda still hoping it will come out to be true. SPOILERS! THE MOST TERRIBLE THINGS IN THE GALAXY ARE HEADING OUR WAY! Please, please, pleeeeease! Be true! If not in 2, please maybe in a 3!
There's also several cut-scenes (haha, get it?) in Final Dreadnought, I found them in Torque's voice clips (to_25 to to_28). I don't know if there are voice clips for other characters that work in these scenes.
There are several other examples I could list, but the point is this game, like many, has unused scenes remaining in its files.

Unused isn't the same as cut.

I guess that's partly true, but for it to go unused, it was either intentionally unused (as in created merely for the sake of being unused, perhaps for people like me who want even more of FP1's story), or it was a planned scene that was cut at some point in development. So I don't entirely understand what you said, but I sorta do.
I also understand if you don't want to discuss the scene where Brevon sings a part of the Sound of Music.
"Come on, Syntax, sing along."
The "SUSHI!" is perfectly fine with me, but "space cooties" and "Sound of Brevon"...
I can easily guess why those voice clips were left out of the final version.
Though "space cooties" is a bit funny as a running joke, it's just weird...
And "Sound of Brevon" would be great if it had every voice clip but the last one, after which I have named it (as it is sadly the most memorable part when browsing the files).
