The question is why it needs to be fixed at all. It was a small test in design and it failed horribly. No other story dungeon follows its example, and to be frank, its incredibly outdated, and why it hasn't been changed yet, is simply due to the need to not throw man-hours at something that isn't really all that bad. It might leave a sour taste in peoples mouths, but the cutscenes can all be re-watched in your inn room, and while I understand this doesn't help at all, its the only option there is besides missing out on all the trash and bosses. If this one small thing is going to turn people off to playing this game, then I think they need to find a new game, and stop being nitpicky.

tl:dr - they tried something, it didn't work, they fixed it by not doing it again, can we get past it?
