Locked out of future MSQ progression?

If you want to talk about the fun element, that's going to take it out of the game for a lot of people, which SE should also be careful of. .

I don't think this was particularly fun, compared to the MSQ fight in the steppes. Fights that rely on gimmicks and force us not to use our abilities really are only fun if we get to do cool stuff, like pilot a Magitek reaper. The blowgun fights were fun; the "find this mob's" weak point in this patch started to get annoying. But stuff like the PvP tournament in HW or fights where you fight alongside friendly AI are very fun.

And I think it was amazing and would hate to see it go away. See why this shouldn't be a consideration to removing content? You can't even say 'but I HAVE to go through this' because it's a one time thing. Clear it and move on.

I doubt you really think it was amazing. If you think so, I recommend getting a collection of Atari games and playing the game made back in 1985 which it was based on. I notice that people really tend to defend things when it seems like any form of nerf is impending, and I'm not even suggesting nerfing it. I just don't want to wake up one day and find out the next MSQ has me play a round of pac-man, space invaders, simon, or have a kugane-like jumping puzzle in it.

That's a complete strawman argument that has nothing to do with this. Yes, I enjoyed the trial the way FFXIV implemented it. It was unique and engaging and I felt accomplished for having cleared it. The game it was based on has nothing to do with it.

Aw man yes please. Point-and-click WoL mini game XD That said that sounds much more like something in an event o3o still, do want.

I would love to see something like this too! Either in an event or even at the Gold Saucer. I grew up on Intellivision and NES (showing my age there xD) so would love to see some really old school games. Imagine some kind of 8-bit Donkey Kong based mini game.

How about a Garlean themed Galaga? It'd be a welcome addition to the toy chest!
