Doing Castrum and Praetorium for the first time

[Ashkendor]

Ask your FC/LS for help, and/or use the Party Finder to create a group specifically for your first time to enjoy the CS'. It is a fantastic part to the story, and should not be missed in order for some people to quickly get their mythology. You will have a lot more fun this way, and there will be next to no stress as far as speedrunning is concerned.

If you can't/don't want to do that, just follow along and hope for the best.

Since the bonus myth was added, I've actually run with several tanks that let the newbies watch CS.

The rest of us stood around and BS'ed, mostly. It was wonderfully refreshing. :3

Glad to hear it. Hopefully, OP's experience could be the same. Either way, safest bet is to still make your own group, I feel.

Yeah, definitely; you can't count on it. We actually did a party for this in a linkshell that I'm in. One of the people in it had three friends that all needed CM and Praetorium for the main scenario and wanted to watch all the cutscenes. Some of the party enabled theirs as they'd never seen them in context before, but only watched them in the inn. Afterward, several people expressed that they wish they had been able to watch them in the dungeon their first time through as watching them in the inn just isn't the same.
