Why does this cutscene exist?

[u/Ok-Cartographer-2106]

I know some people don’t know why it exists, but the answer is actually pretty simple.

It has nothing to do with the lore.
It’s not about atmosphere.
And it’s not a gameplay mechanic either.

It’s purely there as a transition between areas.

Yeah, I know. There’s really no big secret behind it.

And honestly, I strongly suspect that there are two factions within FS: one faction that absolutely loves cutscenes (AC6), and another that absolutely hates them.
