Dungeon Change + Savage Dungeon Idea (suggestion)

[RSS News]

FFXIV has been around for a while but the Dungeon formula has never really changed besides with mechanics. After a while Dungeons have just gotten repetitive and linear. I believe many people can agree and be open to some sort of change.

Here's what I'd like to see changed

1. Change future Normal/Hard Dungeons

- Make future dungeon map design more free form instead of a single straight path

• Allows players to feel like they're actually exploring a dungeon by adding multiple routes and giving them the decision to pick a path

• Possibly allow players to choose the order of which they defeat a boss for certain dungeons in order to clear

2. Savage Mode Dungeons

- Adds a New challenge for players with more difficult versions of older bosses and stronger mobs

• Adds New boss strategies and could add more mob pulling strategies as well for bigger challenge

-More potential challenges on the path to bosses

• Mazes, Puzzles, Tests (like the azim steppe dungeon), Jump puzzle with spike pit, dangerous traps, etc

- Greater rewards (Titles, dyeable or revamped versions of old glamour, mounts, etc)

- One or two per expansion or whatever Square decides

This could add more flare to the current patch cycle formula and give players/Companies more challenges to do together without running out of things to do. Also gives SE a way to modernize older dungeons
