I'd love for having an NPC along like Cid that narrates part of the stuff going on. It's certainly something they could plan for future story stuff. And I do like cutscenes in dungeons. They add a bit of flavour that an epic pre and post CS just can't give it justice. Or make a cutscene that moves you along - i.e. in CM after the first boss you basically just run along until the first mobs for a while. Why couldn't that cutscene basically show you going in and sneaking to the next post instead of you get out of cutscene and you are still there and need to move along?

Something similar in Prae... after you blow the door you get auto dismounted no matter where on the path you are. Why not port the PC to that spot then?
