Atleast the deep dungeon is good.

Floor 30 boss, super fun.

Good lore tied into it.

Rather enjoyed it.

too bad theres no real reason to do it besides the accursed hoard, the only thing you can buy with the tokens is materia a regen potions and some stupid thing for your portrait

I enjoyed the runs, it feels like the gear score grows faster then in hoh, which honestly is welcome. There wasn't much content in "run it till you get 99/99 and then you are allowed in the parties who go for 100". I was surprised the actually put effort into the fights, deep dungeons bosses so far were pretty much build around 1 or 2 mechanics and while the new ones still are nowhere near a trial, they at least "feel" a bit better.

A small let down was indeed that you cant do much with the tokens indeed, no one will ever buy Materia with it and the potions usually only benefit those that go for 100 or challenge runs. I was surprised to see SE mix in "extreme" mechanics that basically do not get telegraphed (cept for the last second) and then are able to do lethal or close to lethal damage, those were usually exclusive for high level runs.

I love the idea of Dread monsters, but i feel they will be 90% of the time cheaped out by a storm pomander which drops them to 1hp so it feels like ... counter intuitive? The idea of bonus bosses that could potentially give you a drop or a higher level sack would also feel a bit more "fun" then a buff you might not need. But its i guess a welcome addition.

They played it once again very save by copying 75% of pomanders and traps, the owl is cute though. Combing the Manticore and Succubus into 1 Pomander is also a decent QoL I suppose. If you have 3 friends who welcome a bit of a challenge I'm sure getting the 4 wins for the bonus mount can keep you busy for a bit.

One thing I'm not entirely sure about are the clones you summon, they basically extend your damage by them fighting alongside you ... but isn't that pretty much what a pomander of strength already does? Is it just flavor? Unei can cast at least limited support spells, i've seen stoneskin im not sure i've seen a heal. Doga can cast a 10 second break, but neither comes close to what they replace, the primal magicite. Does anyone know if there are "rare" clones?

I will admit that it was fun and engaging. Seriously, it was great, but the lack of rewards we can purchase with those fragments really left me doing a double take. Checked the vendor once before heading in, was confused and thought "This can't be right. Oh well, maybe they unlock after floor 30 completion." Did that, went back to the vendor and there was still basically nothing aside from a frame kit (Yay....). Checked it again right after that because my brain couldn't process what it was seeing. Left disappointed.

I don't know how far I got to in PoTD and I only did up to 30 floors in HoH, but from what i've done of the newest deep dungeon it has been a fun experience so far :).

I love the first mobs already can 1 shot a random player if they have no idea/memory of the enemy pattern.

I like the demi clone idea, at least having a healer/stoneskin npc or a break spammer can quite make a difference. Didn't get Onion Knight sadly but so far it is fun.

The first time through all 30 floors, this was basically me.

And I loved every minute of it.

I loved it. I really wish there was more engaging 4 man content like this.
I love how this felt more enganing as a healer than any other content. The randomness was so rewarding in a way...

its not bad for the one tome first 30 floors but then what? its the same as last one so GL getting a party that will run the hole thing.

If it just me or are debuff floors (gloom, blind, etc) waaaaaay more common this time around? I've only done 1-20 so far, but of those 20 floors 12 of them had at least one debuff.

I have criticized Endwalker’s patch content, but I really feel like people are writing this one off too quick. It’s only been out for a couple of days and people saying we’re in a total content drought. There seems to be plenty of rewards and some cool improvements on the existing DD format

It's a reskin of HoH

It was neat doing 1-30, but after that it's just plain ol' DD. Doesn't really have longevity for me personally outside of hitting the top floor a couple times with friends and getting the loot I want from it.

Wish we had gotten another big zone like bojza/eureka instead tbh, DD is kinda lame unless you're solo pushing upper floors.
