The preatorium, streamlined

[Shougun]

The devs have already said that they are replacing castrum and praeotium in the not too distant future.

I was like "oh really?" so I just thought to share the source:

Millenium: So, will Castrum Meridianum and the Praetorium see changes too, whether skippable cutscenes or alternatives?

Yoshi-P: "I do apologise but we will not be reworking these two dungeons just yet. We believe minor fixes to these dungeons are not feasible, and it will be necessary to either completely remake them as four-player dungeons or incorporate the Trust system so that they can be cleared on a solo basis.

Although we didn't have the costs reserved for the rework on this occassion, we do plan to work on them at some point. Please wait a little longer for this."

Oh wow, that's surprising! I was convinced they'd done everything they were ever going to do with those instances, but that's good news for any future newbies whenever they get around to that. But I still feel like facepalming because they've waited ALL THESE YEARS. Imagine if those improvements had already been implemented before this current surge of new players came in!

Imagine 1.0 didn't suck. Imagine they'd had 5 years for ARR. Imagine Stormblood was just Ala Mhigo, followed by another expansion that was solely Othard.

Not much point imagining what isn't real. Right now the 'surge of new players' gets the same experience as all of us. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Yes, but they never actually say what it is they're planning to do, nor give any sort of timeline.
