I have no idea WHY we'd care to get at the boss, besides it being more fun to fight the boss, but yeah. Competitive Alliance Map.

I'd be for this in an optional side run that isn't required to unlock anything else. If it was in a run that was required for good gear, unlocking another run, or even as simple as a quest then it would get too much backlash from the PvP hating portion of the community, as while not directly PvP, you're still "competing" against other players. Still, as for the reasons for this in the run itself, I can see it as being a boss that as it stays on one party, a percentage builds up that when it reaches 100% kills that party. It slowly goes down when another party has the aggro, thus preventing wipes. You're competing with the other parties, as only the current lead party can hurt the boss, but you're also wanting the other parties to pull it so that yours doesn't wipe. You don't build aggro when you're hitting the boss directly, but once it switches targets, the aggro resets and has to reach a certain point to get it to swap again. Maybe not completely in line with what you were originally imagining, but certainly doable in a fun way that makes sense......

I'm all for this idea. It would give the raid a great deal of replay value. We've seen this on a small scale with the Cerberus fight in WoD, (at least if people stick to their party's job), but a full on raid with nothing but this would be great. The only problem I can really see is balancing it throughout so that one party doesn't have an easier/harder over all job than the others....

Since we got Flying Chocobos I would like a Hot and Cold type Chocobo game, which can lead to the Air Garden and Ozma

Here's what I'd like:

WoL vs WoD vs Asicians vs Knights of the Round atop the Warring Triad.

A boss fight where the mechanics and aoes ignore Black Mages.

A fight against Nael van/deus Darnus summoned back as a Primal. Why? Because T9 is still the most epic fight in the game.

If not that, a fight with or on the phantom train. Because Phantom Train.

Griever pls.

Well, there's a few boss fights I would love. First in mind has always been the Warring Triad, so you can imagine how absolutely stoked I am to see them eventually making an appearance in game. To keep things a bit different though, I won't mention bosses nor dungeon ideas mentioned beforehand in this topic, unless I missed some.

1. One thing I really want to see would have to happen at the end of a long patch or expansion, adding to the main storyline. Imagine, if you would, a boss fight against the Ultima Weapon from 2.0. Then, with no explanation whatsoever upon winning that fight, we get sent to battle Necron in some sort of sub space. He gives no reason as to why he's there, just throws some random quotes like what you would find in ye olde England poetry, before initiating battle. Then, upon his defeat, we are all sent back into the storyline and don't even mention nor acknowledge the encounter against Necron we just had, as if it had never happened in the first place.

2. I'd like to have a dungeon where it's sort of a revisit to Cutter's Cry. In the quest details, it's mentioned that there is a powerful Sand Worm there that needs be stopped. After one or two rooms, you immediately get into a boss fight against the worm, Zone Eater. At around 20% HP, he burrows into the sand, before creating quicksand that engulfs the arena, devouring all of the members of your party. It's at that point where we enter a new dungeon, the Zone Eater dungeon from FF6, complete with the little green men on the bridges, the smashing ceiling, and a bunch of empty treasure coffers. Eventually you find yourself in a boss fight against Gogo, and although I cannot create a skill set he would use, I would love to see him in the game regardless.

Even if he is just a side character and not a boss. He'd make an amazing and rather fitting cameo if you ask me.

3. And then finally, I would love to see another trip being made into the Void. But not the FF3 version, since that one's been done ... a part of the void under the control of Enuo, master of the Void from FF5 (If anyone recalls, Exdeth tried (and failed at) attempting to control the Void due to being inspired by Enuo's authority over it in the history of that game, Enuo eventually being defeated by powerful heroes much like ourselves IIRC). There's so much in that version of the Void that could easily be worked with into a viable dungeon in FFXIV, and since the Void is literally the same dimension in every single game connecting them all together, it'd be an interesting bit of lore if our Warriors of Light were the heroes of FFVs past to vanquish Enuo, or at least assist those that were tasked with the deed.

Sorry for the triple post, forum won't let me post more than 1,000 characters.

Okay, you know Titan Extreme? Now, imagine there were 3 Titans...
