    I would be in support of making it a Command Mission-type thing (but not an actual Command Mission as you can't get that high at that point, nor should you need to).

    Put 7 NPCs in there that act mostly like a raid does, and make tweaks that make the dungeon more friendly to such, and allow the player to run THIS mode if they want to "see the story".

    Then, you could have the Roulette Version have skippable cutscenes. If a newbie wants the cutscenes, they'll run the 7 NPC version and enjoy the cutscenes all they like.

    ALTERNATIVELY, put two versions in the Roulette:

    Castrum Meridianum (Story) --enhanced rewards, unskippable cutscenes
    Castrum Meridianum (Normal) --normal rewards, skippable cutscenes

    And make the enhanced rewards be something like greatly enhanced XP gains (1.5x Leveling Roulette?) and 1.5x Poetics, along with 10-20k gil. Heck, add a cracked cluster to the Lv70 Adventurer in Need bonus too while we're at it.

    Now, make the Roulette that you can run one OR the other in any given day but not both.

    The Newbie can choose which one they want to run, because it'd be listed like this under specific dungeons, maybe with a help popup explaining the difference between the two. If they care about the lore and the cutscenes, they can wait out the queue on the Story version. If they just wanna get it done and watch the cutscenes (nor not even care about the cutscenes at all) they can Q for the normal version and get a group faster.
