Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

So pretty much, the non skip is staying as it is, they'll just up the rewards.

I think when they said no further changes were needed, they meant to any other content because no other content suffered such poor design. I should hope that if the new awards don't help as much as they hope, that they'd go back to the drawing board.

Again, it'll come down to complaints and numbers. But I'm getting the feeling that it'll take at least 3-5x as many complaints about the non cutable scenes for them to make a change, vs the change they made as a result of complaints about being pressured TO watch them.

In all honesty, I had not heard of anyone actually complaining about this at all. It's... annoying, yes, especially for first time users. And going back to the inn to watch the stuff just doesn't feel the same. But I fixed this by asking some friends of mine to run this unsynched so we could watch it all. Praetorium is the one that you need to watch the most to get the story, and that's the one we did. I've also seen people making PFs just so they can do a full watch run, as well. Thus, this was a solution that wasn't a problem except for a few.
Now it's a problem that's a problem.
And from the response, it looks to me like they're not interested in changing it back. Just... up the rewards.

Any alternative would require they actually changed something on a system level, which I damn well think they should, yet understand why. Think it's dumb, but I get it. The fact they're even changing the awards means two things, however: 1. we're looking at a noticeable negative change in roulette goer numbers (to anyone here who said we needed to wait and see, there it is, right out of Yoshi's mouth), 2. they're constantly on the lookout. The question now is what'll happen, will they cave and give the kind of ridiculous awards that'll get people to run it (*cough*cracked crystals*cough*) or will they say no, we can't give such high awards, and do something else - which most likely will be just a revert of this change rather than anything worthwhile. Because a clear + watching scenes at the inn is arguably better than content with cutscenes you can't even get into to get that first clear for.
