Historic Tails – Let Us Relive the Challenge
My English isn’t the best, so I’m using ChatGPT to help organize and express this idea. I hope it reaches both players and developers alike.

Cousin to Wondrous Tails
This is a weekly system where each day highlights one random level-synced Extreme or Hard trial from past expansions. It’s a way to bring back content that often gets ignored.

How It Works
Goals & Benefits
Let New Players Experience the Past
There’s a lot of amazing content in FFXIV that gets left behind with each new expansion — especially Extreme Trials. These were once proud milestones and real tests of skill.
Now, they’re usually cleared unsynced in seconds. Mechanics are skipped, and there’s no time to enjoy the fight or learn anything.
Historic Tails gives purpose to that content again. New players can experience the real fights as intended, and veterans can return to help, teach, and remember.
If you have ideas to improve this or if you think it could be better — I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m open to discussion and suggestions.

Cousin to Wondrous Tails
This is a weekly system where each day highlights one random level-synced Extreme or Hard trial from past expansions. It’s a way to bring back content that often gets ignored.

How It Works
- Once a week, players get a Historic Tails book (like Wondrous Tails).
Unlocks a Daily Historic Roulette, available after unlocking Historic Tails.
Each day, one random synced Extreme/Hard trial is selected.
Clearing it the first time that day earns one sticker.
Collect stickers through the week and turn in the book — or suggest another use.
All content is level-synced — no unsynced clears.
Goals & Benefits
- Revive old trials with meaningful, synced runs.
Daily variety – less repetition, more variety.
Low dev effort – uses existing content and systems.
Increase daily logins with new daily activities.
New experience – veterans and new players learning together content that is new to them.
More social play – teamwork, teaching, and fun wipes.
