Then for the sake of argument, what would you rather each patch do different, as opposed to now?

=>

They had the level, the monster models, the skills, so why dint they even bother even re-taking old gear models and smack a ilv95 on it or something and call it the new optional dungeons to get a "step" gear to get on harder content? I know they want to use the actual myth/coil1 gear to serve that purpose, but hey, only give 1 chest and separate the sets in the 3 different dungeons, or even add a 1h cooldown on it and be done with it.

And hey, actually, i'll even give more suggestions. Instead of making the treasure hunt system boring and virtually limited like the rest of the game (1 map every 18h, 5 minutes limitation to do it) why not use the chocograph system of FFIX, and actually use your chocobo for something other then FATE grind?

Level up the beak of your chocobo by digging in the overworld, sometime finding a chocograph, and make the chocograph's chest reward more and more appealing as the beak level of your chocobo get higher. Basically, keep the same system, but change the way the map is obtained and add a reward scale to it.

It would actually have given another optional side thing to do, for both hardcore and casual players, with an actual point.
