The Praetorium needs help

Per the title I know "The Praetorium" needs help. How is it ok for people, as a group, to leave the tank behind, to die, to make the run faster? Why can't we get a change to it so that its a fun place to visit? People doing the 2.0 story need it so, Why is it not a big grand ending? The ending to 2.5x is better and so is 4.5x. I get newer stuff gets better over time. Still tho Why not improve what we DO have?

Honestly, the best thing they could ever do for Castrum Meriadium and Praetorium would be to make them into large solo instances. But I doubt that will ever happen at this point...


If you're talking about the tank mass pulling all the adds before the teleporter so that everyone else can go through without killing them, and then they take the shortcut, fairly sure that's how it has been done since 2.0. I know that's what people did when I started back in 2015. People always find the path of least resistance.

I think its fiiine. People will always seek a faster route. You cant dictate or force people to play your ideal way in this game. Skip soar, skip meteors, ignore bees, ect. Theres always Party Finder for those zealous on absolute restrictions.

You say "people". I hear on Japanese servers some runs kill all the mobs group by group. They also tend to do more mechs, so I hear.

You’re generalizing a lot of people there. Not everyone in a country dies it the same way.
That being said, stopping for each group, and doing more mechanics both sound like they’re extending what already is a lengthy endeavour.

So why not play on a JP data center? There's auto-translate available for the language barrier.

Elemental data centre certainly doesn't do the Praetorium mobs one-by-one (or do mechs on Glasyas Labolas as someone mentioned in another topic). No idea about the other data centres.

You’re generalizing a lot of people there. I am? I said in SOME runs. Heck a few times I have done it right with American and european players.

I say people find the path of least resistance because its true. Have you never stopped to consider why we no longer have branching dungeons with multiple paths anymore? Yoshida has said before that players will always choose the fastest path over exploring a longer path—the path of least resistance. And this is applicable and true to many things outside of the scope of this video game.

They should just make one amazing and long path full of stuff. Like the location in 11 thats updated each month to be different.

For what it's worth, it's really doable to solo the run unsynced at level 70 too. Sort of an odd/interesting experience (don't underestimate Nero lol) but at least in terms of getting to explore and do the cutscenes without pressure is kind of relaxing.

True but then we miss out on the game as it was meant to be. Plus as a 70? How does that help out a lv 50? A person who likes the story and wants to see it through? Do they NEED to unsync the 2.X trials too? Miss out on the whole game. I don't think to. Thats why we have the lv sync.
