It's hard for me to decide my favorite cinematic, although I might give it to either G or 2 G's openings. For me, it really is about peering into village life, especially the forging of weapons and armor. I wish somewhat that some of those scene could be incorporated ingame, like giving a player the option to see a full set of armor being made.

As a gunner, I always found it somewhat humorous the position they are in in the intro vids. Either they miss, drop their weapon (imagine if you could be forcibly relieved of your weapon ingame), or are doing something that defies belief. Also, I've noticed that when one of them tranqs a monster, it already goes into sleep animation with one shot, even though the gunner shoots more shots as the monster falls down. I did find it neat how in G's opening you can see a female gunner handmaking rounds. Would be interesting to see that done in game.

As for ecology vids, I would like to see an Aptonoth vid, like a first person one.

Regarding the purple clothed lady in 2's opening, it may indeed be the village elder from P3rd. Perhaps she was installed there by the Elder Dragon Conservatory to monitor the situation.
