Palace of the Dead/Heaven-on-High What next?

[disturbedcobra]

Going through the forums, there is so much talk going on about the upcoming job changes, the new races and jobs as well as the world visit system. But there is one thing I am curious bout that hasn't been brought up I believe. What is the next stage of PotD/HoH going to be like and when would we expect it to show it's face? Being how both have given us a lot of good items that is either usuable or can sell for quite a bit of gil as well as having some compellying story lore to it. Even a great means to leveling other jobs besides your main. I'm looking forward hearing more of the 3rd stage in these Deep Dungeons.

It would probably be someplace in "The First". Perhaps a metropolis of some sort that is filled with sin eaters where the goal is to get to the center and past story content takes place in a building that is in the center. The closer you get to the center the more blinding and powerful the light becomes.

They could try something new.

I liked PotD and I enjoyed HoH... but after running a few alt classes through there it's starting to wear thin. I'm not against the idea of HoH type content, but it'd be nice if they changed it up a bit more.

Mean actually going to completion for fun and profit right? I can not fathom how people go in there to level... give me dungeons exp any day XD
I also really liked them both and look forward to an additional deep dungeon (or high tower? XD).

Palace On High,

Heaven of the Dead

that sounds like a next step right?

I hope they mix up the formula a bit.

I'd love if there was more emphasis on exploration. Such as having to find clues a la Sastasha or find items and the thing that shows the order in which to place them a la Temple of Qarn.

As opposed to them being zerg fests where it's just sprint to the exit and blow up enemies on the way, with the only impediments being the occasional BS trap that will insta-kill you or render you literally useless.

HoH was even worse for the zerging thanks to its pomanders of petrification and magicites that literally let you clear entire floors in seconds... (PotD only really had the manticore pomanders and only on specific floors since early ones had succubi and later ones had kuribu)

I would like to see them reuse the coil assets and make a Trials of Bahamut where you explore the depths of the coil. Think FFXII great crystal with primals waiting for you at each of the 10th floors with even a random roaming super boss in the lower floors. Obviously keep it similar to HoH with the first 30 floors story mode and the next 70 for hardcore.

[grinkdaboy]

id like it if they made something that had every 10 floors being a reference to a different game. for example floor 70-80 could be the shinra building with the boss being the robot thing

Palace of the Heavens, clearly

Next we tip Heaven-on-High over and stuff it into the Palace of the Dead.
