    You're again systematically ignore the newbies, legit and honest first timers who couldn't care less about the plot and the story and only want to power through it. Also we've had some of those same legit, honest newbies who complained about the unskippable cutscenes.
    You know what also would've made it epic? All the more so, probably? Making it a solo instance with some NPCs. Nowadays they more than have the tech for it. But they're hiding behind the excuse of it being old content so they won't revisit it (and this was what, exactly? lmao), and most likely will have to fight a mountain of horrible legacy code so they'd sooner make this change and up the awards until people actually run the roulette again. People need to stop acting like this was the only possible way to address this issue, especially after how long it's been in existence.

    As far as the Main Scenario Roulette goes since people want to bring it up again, more gil, experience, and tomes for yours truly with the upped rewards and all. And I sure as heaven and hell ain't putting said rewards to waste and/or take them for granted. (I'll also get to do some fun chatting with the party, my fc, linkshells, and various discord channels during the cutscenes.)

    [Gaining a few levels and a little extra exp at level 50-51 in Main Scenario Roulette ain't much to sneeze at for those who find Aurum Vale and/or Dusk Vigil atrocious.]

    I do agree on removing the restriction undersized and/or a full premade though. There should be no reason why 8 people who are not new should be viewing the same cutscenes (unless all 8 members are as sociable as I am during cutscenes, which is HIGHLY unlikely.)

I guess my group so SE decided that new players that wanted to see CSs were more important than them. Maybe they thought that they already force the whole MSQ to unlock every content. so they did not see the point arguing about 2 hours of CSs. And for really power leveling needy people, Master Card + jump potion for more cash in their pocket.

    I totally agree with the solo duty. I don't know about their resources or constraint though. Maybe we are cash cows and SE is laughing at us right now. I only can say that what they did was good for me and I enjoyed what I paid for which seems to be unthinkable for some.

    Who are, in the grander scheme of things, seem to be the minority absurdly, especially with how many people on the forums already said they wouldn't run it again on the roulette lmao.

    Right on.

    Well, I don't see them complaining on the forum because they got what they want ? I know that some people create posts just to say thank you SE but I think it is more for complaints really.

    I am a noob who has yet to hit lvl 70 on any job and I agree that having unskippable cut scenes is dumb. I could honestly careless about the story and even if I did I have other sources that I can turn to so that I can watch the cut scenes. The decision to hold up a raid which is now a daily on the chance that you might have one or two people who are legit noobs and actually want to watch the cut scene is mind boggling to me. At the very least they could have coded it so that they are unskippable only if you have first timers in it.
