They should cut all the cutscenes out of Castrum Meridianum--just have Cid say his lines from the cutscenes in live action without stopping the dungeon--and turn Praetorium into a solo duty with the Scions as Trust NPCs.

That way we have a fast MSQ duty worth a ton of exp, and first time players can always enjoy the Praetorium cutscenes. Or skip them at their leisure.
