Hello and thank you for reading. Hopefully we can get a Dev response too.
I am just curious if we will ever see a form of BCNMs in FFXIV. I'm not suggesting a copy and paste of BCNM, but rather a form of collecting items that can lead to a tough boss battle with rare drops. This type of content is great because it can never really die off. It has no short term or long term goal. It gives a great sense of community because players now have to work together or risk losing a ton of random seals. Risk reward systems have always been a great way to make any game fun regardless of genre.
Personally, BCNM and KSNM were my favorite parts of content in FFXI. I got to know some of my LS members a little better since I tend to be quiet. BCNM and mining were also my source of income while I played since I'm not big into crafting. I'm no expert, but I dont think this will be tough content to make in the future. The enemy models are already there and scripting them may not be an issue.
TLDR; Bring back BCNM/KSNM style content. It's fun!!
Will we ever see BCNMs again?

Primals, they don't have the "burning circle" but still the same concept

I kind of always suspected that they would add BCNMs eventually and use the beastmen coins that already drop as the currency used to get access... after the fact that I've already npced 1000's of them -_-;

They are both more or less the same thing, collect tapers/faction point/beastman seals, attempt an a fight in an instanced.

actually Skirmish is closer to BCNM than faction leves. all they need is some kind of entry fee and greater variation of mobs
