Terrible experience.

The way I personally read that though is that they'll be forcing cutscenes on everyone (extend the duration of the dungeon) so I have to wonder if it'll just stop people wanting to run it at all unless the rewards are insanely good... the cutscenes are so long...

I wonder what they're going to do. If I knew going in ahead of time that I'd be watching the cutscenes each run, I'd probably make sure I had a book handy before going in. But I rarely do the Main Scenario roulette as-is because there are more interesting and fun things I can do with my limited time to play. They'd really have to make the rewards something special to tempt me into running it if cutscenes couldn't be skipped.

Maybe they'll have forced party attendance checks? Like you can't engage a boss or progress to a new area without having everyone present at the checkpoint? That certainly could cause the instances to run longer, but it would give newbies a chance to participate in the key fights between scenes at least. Still won't stop jerks from verbally screaming at new players to hurry the F up though...
