The cutscenes in both have been an issue from the start, I know SE made CM and Paetro special since at the time they were the grand finale of the main story. They were contentious sadly from the beginning. They were the only way to get philosophy stones to upgrade gear so the speed runs began. That was fixed later on and yes i agree the design should have been different. Alternate dungeons should have been made to get tomes from and those two could have been special, only done in context with the story. I understand that during development, Yoshi asked the devs to play WoW and possibly other mmos, so they understand what people enjoy. The Secret World may have been one of them since, as far as I know, it is the only MMO prior to this game that had cut scenes throughout the dungeons. They must have felt this would be a great experience for the players as it was in that mmo. Obviously for FF14 ARR that wasn't the case. Can't take the cat out of the bag in this case, hopefully it will be resolved after 3.0
