[Suggestion] Make Vote Skip Option Available for Main Scenario Duty Roulettes

Won't happen. Mainly because that defeats the purpose and because the whole reason the exp reward is as high as it is for that roulette is to compensate for the time of the cutscenes. If they would give the option to skip the cutscenes, new players would still be pressured to skip them and ppl would not be incentivized to stay for new players, since so many ppl would either be using premade work arounds or they would just fish for a skip party and bail when they had to watch the cutscenes. Who is going to stay in Prae and watch the cs for the 10,000th time just for 1 person when they could get through the whole thing in under 10 minutes for the best exp payout of them all. The only way to make it work would be to heavily decrease the exp when the vote to skip succeeds which would make the whole thing a pointless endeavor.

Easy fix - allow the cutscene skip only on the condition that everyone in the party has already seen it once. Clearly the game knows which cutscenes you have seen, so it can't be that hard to implement. If the cutscenes are skipped, cut down the rewards, too. With the way things are currently, basically everyone I know of just doesn't do the roulette at all because they know Gaius's speech by memory at this point and no reward is worth the 35 minutes or so of utter boredom. There are other ways to get that amount of XP in that amount of time and they're much less boring.

With this "fix", you would still be rewarded relative to the amount of time spent in this roulette. If the reward relative to "35 minutes or so of utter boredom" isn't worth it to you, what makes you think a reward relative to 15 min or so of skippable cutscenes would be?

OP, I understand why you would make a suggestion for a QoL change like this, and it's a suggestion that has been made plenty of times ever since the cutscenes were made unskippable. The issue with a QoL change like this, is that it muddles the entire roulette, as opposed to the current iteration being perfectly clear on what you're getting yourself into. You know that going into it, you'll end up with one of three instances that have unskippable cutscenes, with exp/tomestone rewards relative to this increased amount of time spent. If this reward isn't worth your time spent (which I assume it isn't, otherwise you wouldn't be making this suggestion), it's fine to just skip the roulette entirely. You don't have to run every single roulette.
