What new dungeon themes will we come across?

I'm just curious to see your wish list. Here are my top six picks:
1. Middle-Eastern/Mosque temple, or an abandoned version of Istanbul--having recently visited Istanbul I think this would be awesome. Mini-bosses: Lamia, Evil Eye. Boss: Djinni
2. Haunted Castle--we need something with an undead dragon. Mini-Boss: Undead Army, Ghost Painting. Boss: Bone Dragon.
3. Underwater--Oxyale reference, or whatever it was called, allowing us to breathe underwater. Mini-Boss: Great White Shark, Death Angler. Boss: Kraken.
4. Western Ghost Town--sounds ridiculous I know, BUT that's what Central Thanalan made me think of (all dem train tracks and cactus). Mini-boss: Amaljaa Ghost, Undead Roc. Boss: Wendigo
5. Amazon Rainforest--Brayflox comes to mind but this could be following a river of sorts. Mini-boss: Stone Gator, Vampire Thorn. Boss: Amazonian Goddess.
6. Mayan/Aztec/Incan pyramids--ever visited tenochtitlan? Mini-boss: Blood Rain, The Slain (army of sacrificed soldiers), Quetzalcoatl.

the boss of AK is a bone dragon, albeit with a ridiculous name

Nothing about Andthatsabooger really strikes me as particularly draconic, much less of the bone variety.

Genius.

I haven't done AK yet...
But now I want to just to see the name.

"Anantaboga"

Btw, I'd like a behemoth fight, not like the FATE one, I can't even see him!
Something like a dungeon in Behemoth's Dominion, all snowy and windy, with lesser behemoths and a lot of trash mobs.
Mini bosses: Behemoth, Humbaba
Final boss: King Behemoth

And maybe something with a death type boss, like a graveyard with ghosts and zombies
Mini bosses: Poltergeist, Lich
Final Boss: Thanatos (a big flying guy with a ripped cowl and a big scythe shining with a pale light like Odin's Masamune)

"In the Wayang (oriental popular 'opera') traditions of Java in Indonesia, Anantaboga is the king of the dragons in the underworld and holds the world of the dead as his domain. He is the father and husband of dewi Nagagini.
In modern times the 'Ananta-Boga-Dragon' is seen as the most important symbol in Bali for the earth's fertility."

i wasn't sure what it was at first either

Ghost Train . . . make it happen.

I'd just like to see the missing dungeons from 1.0 restored (like Nanawa Mines, Sohpshae, Mun-tuy Cellars etc) before bringing new dungeons into the game that haven't already been planned for.

Although I must admit I'd love to be able to visit the Keeper of the Lake in Mor Dhona (the wreck of the Garlean airship Agrius that was destroyed by Midgardsormr in 1.0's original opening) - I'm sure SE could come up with some in-lore reason for needing to visit it. ;)

... Monk uses Suplex on Ghost Train!

Or was it the Warrior or Thief that did that? Ah, I forgot...

Hmm. . .I can see the underworld aspect easily. I just see him as more demon-thing than bone-dragon.

yeah i'm not sure why it's called a bone dragon since it doesn't look particularly bony or draconic!

One dungeon i thought would be cool is something based of ipsen's castle from 9, where half of the castle is upside down and the top half is upright. A mechanic would be the controls being inverted when you are in the upside down part of the castle and it constantly flips between the two or something.

You know, I must admit I considered a similar idea for a dungeon would be actually very neat for the game - like Ipsen's Castle, damage and defense are reversed so that end game gear would be practically worthless, at least to a certain point in the dungeon, forcing players to equip low end gear to get through it (and also make it so that gear doesn't Spiritbond and thus not be abused accordingly).

Or maybe something like that dungeon in FFIV which was magnetized and if you had metallic armour you were affected with a weight debuff (never mind if the characters are not wearing iron armour ;)).

It would just add some interesting strategies to the regular 'head through, kill the things, click the targets, grab loot and beat the boss' dungeon routine.

They already have a bunch of unused areas in the world as it is, so i'm hoping they will use them down the line. From the Santctum of the Twelve to the Floating City of Nim, there are a lot of potential places left to explore.

Seems a zombie dog to me :asd:

I don't know why... but in SE games, I always find areas with a high-tech/magic lunar landscape (like of an extinct advanced civilization) to be eerie.

They just love that kind of places. I noticed it too btw

Make a dungeon that is a maze designed by Cid. Give it a steam punk meets Eorzia feel and make multiple branches so that you always fight 3 bosses, but depending on which paths you choose at intersections, the bosses change.

Would like to see ancient astronauts like thing with prehistoric cave and cave drawings and whatnot with the second half of dungeon being a spaceship.

because it was a dragon in FFXI :P

Classic Final Fantasy bosses and characters that I would want to see as bosses in this game.
- The Magus Sisters (FF4)
- Asura (FF4)
- Ultros (FF6)
- Ruby, Emerald and Diamond Weapons (FF7)

THIS! My goodness I'd love to see a dungeon based on Midgardsormr's remains!

But if anything:

Ruins of Gelmora needs to be a dungeon. Just seeing the entrace begs for dungeon.

And mostly importantly, if they're going to do the Crystal Tower finale, the final boss of the entire tower should be none other than the master of the crystals himself, CULEX. I'd love to see a rendition of him in this game! (Provided they don't eff it up)

Yeah i agree, i forgot about the reverse gear stat mechanic in Ipsen's castle. Hopefully we see more creative mechanics in dungeons/raid content in the future.

Judging by the quests and dialogue from the NPCs outside the sanctum of the twelve it will likely be where people get married once it's 'restored' AKA added to the game.

Outer La Noscea ha an interesting area, the Floating City of Nym, which might warrant some exploration. There's also interesting corners of the world like Urth's Font, the Burning Wall of E. Thanalan, that labyrinth we never get to see in S. Thanalan, or the area just before Cape Westwind (forgot the name) that might make for good settings for new dungeons.

Also, I like what they did with Halatali HM, pitting you against other adventurer types. With La Noscea being a big sea-faring place, why not a grand shipwreck/ship graveyard where you race/fight against other adventurers or pirates for a treasure?

Everything from FFIV
A snowy maze, like in FFVII but with references to the shining (fight some ghosts, and a raving lunatic with a butcher knife)
A tower like final fantasy legend (game boy)

My entire interest in RPGs, and MMOs originated from a friends copy of FFII SNES (which we now call FFIV) in the early 90s. I wanted my own copy but it wasn't available anywhere but I found a store that rented a copy, and I "lost it." I think of my GBA as FFIV since that incarnation of FFIV is pretty much the only thing I've ever used my GBA for (though I prefer SNES). A lot of people say FFVI is better, but I just don't see it.

Perhaps we'll even get to venture into the Void itself, maybe a couple dungeons from there with the final dungeon boss being Neo EX-Death himself?

Lmao sorry I meant the second idea but yeah FFIV WOULD kick ass.

Coil is a pretty thinly veiled love letter to the Lunar Subterrane.

I'm waiting patiently for the time when we get to fight the four Fiends with remastered orchestral versions of their FF1 boss themes.

Considering that it's looking like Crystal Tower is one big love letter to FF3, I may not be waiting for very long.
