True its not Square Enix's fault, at launch, but now in 3.0...

I do not know how Praetorium is run on the Japanese servers, but everyone here has a idea of what newcomers experience on the western servers. SE did not know when they released the game, but two years later and we are still seeing threads where newcomers complain that a climactic moment in the game got ruined for them, because they were stuck in a cutscene and the bosses were killed or worse kicked out of the group, because they were in a cutscene too long. SE should know about this issue and if they do not know, then the community representives are doing something very wrong on the US/EU section of the forum.

Aryujin, I like your suggestion, but I fear majority of players will ignore it and join via the Duty Finder. A possible suggestion could be to remove the need to have a party and let the other scions or mercs join the warrior of light in the Praetorium. This should give the player the option to enjoy the cutscenes in their own time and there is no gain like a loot, because no loot is dropped. Afcourse one can not do the roulette with npcs.
