Sure, bring it back, but don't let people get the rewards again. They're special exclusive items for beating the (at the time) hardest fight in the game while it was current content.

Instead give slightly recolored versions of the rewards that do the same exact thing as the original, because "it's different!".

meh who cares about those crap earrings anyway? maybe if they were still awesome ya id agree to not give them as reward.

[Defmetal]

Yeah the earrings suck right now. A minstrels battle rivenroad would be nice.
But also, I mean have you guys not finished turn 5?

Y'all may want to watch the post-turn 5 cutscenes regarding the white raven before discounting things as impossible.

My crystal ball says you will see him again, perhaps in Bahamut's Coil

I would also love to see the Rivenroad fight appear as a Minstral fight.

Along with all the over the top stuff added in, maybe even make an Extreme version of it as well.

As for the parts in 1.0 where ranged DDs had to go and kill the falling smaller meteors, they could probably add that kind of a mechanic into the current system (kinda like how the bombs do an AoE when they go BOOM) except make it when the meteors hit the ground, it would be an insta cast AoE that would either insta kill anyone in the AoE, or if it was battlefield-wide, either insta wipe (100% sure in EX mode) or hit the whole party for like 85% or more damage.

Don't you need to fight the battle first before you can tell the minstrel about it so he can make a song?
Would it not mean that only 1.0 characters can unlock the fight in ARR?

That's how Ultima Weapon worked, yes, but there is no reason all fights going through the minstrel have to work that way (assuming we even get any more fights through him).

It could just be a simple "How do you think you'd fair against <insert established ballad here>?", which also opens up possibilities for other historic battles being relived, though none really spring to mind...

Considering that it's really nothing more than a plot device to shoehorn in Ultima hard mode, they can write it however they like. Since people seem intent on spoiling Coil, maybe it unlocked after a certain point there; maybe Darnus ends up as a plot point later (doesn't Gilgamesh have his spear?) and that spurs the minstrel to tell the tale of the Battle of Rivenroad.

As a legacy player, I think it will be awesome to have this fight back.
