Can't edit on mobile or link it but it was mentioned in the latest live letter discussing 4.1

When Squadrons were introduced the plan was for them to be able to be used in certain dungeons. Aka it'll only be dungeon with easy mechanics and most likely limited to 1-59 dungeons, maybe 60 dungeons but you won't see them in the 61+ dungeons. On top of that, dungeons which certain mechanics like Diabolos, lifting stone statues, interacting with a cannon, target being immobilized and target needing to change will most like not be accessible dungeons. The concept will potentially be a way to have fun with your Squad while also getting xp for your jobs, but it will never be a concept you can use for the latest endgame content(at least for now.)

Yes it was confirmed in the live letter. There are other links if you search Google, but the one below gives a run down on what to expect in 4.1.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, don't touch Blitzball. I know there's a lot of people telling you to do it Yoshi, but don't do it. Please. It will not work, and you know it.

I think the gating is a good idea as it will give new players a chance to experience the dungeons without being left behind and without people yelling at them for watching the cut scenes.

Blitzball would be a great addition to the game...assuming it could be implemented in a way that honours the original implementation and has lasting relevance. It could even serve as an interesting PvP based mini-game with rankings and progression.

Though ideally they'd need to tackle the plague that is win trading before implementing more tournament based content.

No, it really isn't a good idea.

It won't stop people from yelling at others for watching cutscenes...if you think about it it will only make them yell more because now the cutscene watcher is holding up the whole party instead of the party being able to go on ahead without them and still play.

Then you know what happens when 1 or 2 new players are holding up 6-7 others? The vote kicks start. I wouldn't do it, but then again if they gate it like that I will never, ever, ever touch that roulette again. The length of some of those cutscenes and factoring in reading speed you are going to be in there for over an hour every time.

No reward would be worth that likely...except maybe a rainbow unicorn mount.....

Great we have a roulette now that takes some dps 30 to 40 minutes queue time and you think it's a great idea for them to have to sit an additional 20 minutes more while people watch cutscenes? Really. That roulette will be dead in the water pretty quick.
