Can we get [Skirmish] (Boss) Trials back ?

Since we receive new dungeons and bosses over and over there are already a lot of past bosses in this game.
I would kind of like the idea to get [Skyrmish] back as a [hard/extreme mode] trial where you fight random bosses or very hard notorious monsters one after an other in a very limited amount of time. in FFXIV 1.0. version of Skyrmish you had 30 minutes to kill all bosses.
Maybe also as [hardmode/extreme] versions of their original counterparts (more damage / more HP)

In the end you may receive special skyrmish weapons.
I think it would be a nice change in contrast to normal dungeons where you fight through hordes of (trash) monsters and just in the end you have to fight against a boss.

Additionally your dps and knowledge about past bosses need to be high in order to kill these bosses in a short time limit - which should be challenging.

And how about implementing even FATE Bosses maybe like Ixion and Odin to the bosses? What would you think about a boss trial time challenge?

Never played 1.0 but sounds interesting, kind of like FFXI's BCNMs.

Yes pls I'm all for challenge modes

Yes please
Skirmish in 1.x was cool. A shame it got not transfered to ARR.
And a double shame it was not part of Golden Saucer.

I'm new late for HW.
Look fun. Yeah wish them back

Loved skirmish in V1 i would love to see those again :)

Skirmish was awesome. Was super bummed out when Giantsgall weapons were made random, useless drops in ARR.

I wouldn't mind Skirmish to return. Tbh, it was fun and something else to do other than farming AV and CC for darklight drops. I was sad to see it wasn't there in ARR and what they did to CC and AV just makes me sad. Those were great lvl 50 dungeons back in 1.0. So was Darkhold. Anyone remember having to trigger different lights in the final boss and dealing with the skeleton pops? /sigh...

You had the choice of 2 islands for Skirmish. They each had their own sets of unique NMs to fight for weapon drops and it wasn't just one NM per island, it was several per island. You got the exit once you completed all the objectives.

I've been waiting patiently for this for a long time :(

So kind of like a boss rush mode? I could be down for that.

Seems like there's some love for this. @OP, you should pose this as a question next time they're taking them for the live letter :)

Isn't this basically diadem?

Off topic but the details on the third picture... The water and beach details are insanely beautiful and they tried to make it work on ps3? Haha 2.0 barely functioned on the ps3 :p

Oh dude, yes. Skirmish in 1.23 was the jam.

Yeh good times in Darkhold the amount of skeles that came running out >.< and the lights lol and i do miss the old CC and AV they where much better then.

They should implement this via Colosseum/Arena in the Gold Saucer or something.

1.0 looks pretty in screenshots but was fugly in action (with the exception of cutscenes). 2.x is fugly in screenshots but looks better in action(with the exception of cutscenes).

I miss skirmish!
