Since Stormblood is bringing new players: can we please get a warning on Castrum/Prae

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Make the scenes unskippable. And remove Castrum and Prae from all the roulettes, so the only people who enter, are ones who *want* to be there, cinematic glory and all.

I got to run them as a newbie, back when anyone in full Darklight was the coolest of the cool, with my old FC, and it was GREAT. We took our time, emoted tons, danced like crazy, and felt like Warriors of Light

Try queuing for any Coil fight at the moment. You'll find hours later, it still won't have popped because "no one wants to do it." Why are veteran players going to consistently run Castrum/Prae and sit through 40+ minutes of unskippable cut scenes they have already seen? It will never happen. Except, unlike my Coil example, those are mandatory dungeons if you want to continue to Ishgard. New players would be stuck waiting for a queue that will rarely ever pop.

BCoB is optional content. No one has to run the coil fights to progress the Main Scenario. But there will (we hope) always be a statistically-significant group of new 50s, who need Castrum and Praetorium.
