Just to clarify Praetorium is about 25 minutes total for a run with about 17 minutes of cutscenes + 8 minutes of gameplay

Cutscene Min:Sec
Intro 1:40
Gaius & Cid 3:02
Concrete door 1:44
Nero intro 3:55
Nero outro 1:40
Gaius 4:36
Total 16:37

And with that said. Yeah... I wish there was some way to alleviate the drag this MSQ is and the frequency it comes up.
