Dungeons are becoming style over substance.

[Hyrist]

It's interesting to see the disconnect between those who post on forums and those who post elsewhere or just play the game. I used to be upset by it but now I'm just intrigued.

Put bluntly, I think this is breath wasted. There are a myriad of reasons the dungeons are what they are and the 'substance' of them exist in manners that are different. I'm not going to expound on that here because it's a dead horse. Put bluntly, dungeons are roulette fodder. They have their purpose and exploration isn't it.

What I would like to see them spend the time away from making these dungeons to create true exploration content. I think we'd be well served by another Deep Dungeon that rewards exploration at a higher level than what we currently have accessible. Because when I see the descriptions of what people want - Deep Dungeon is the first and strongest example of something we already have that fits those desires. So I feel that's the route to go here for satisfying that itch. So, instead of complaining about roulette fodder, I'd like to see them revisit and improve upon Deep Dungeon based content so that those who want to enjoy diving into branching environments have a place to go that's recent.

Aurum is the best ARR has and I know many who thinks the same. Its more like a meme that it's a bad one

No I can confirm that it's not a meme and has never been one. Sorry but this isn't one of those situations where it's ironically 'bad' and secretively good. They've actively nerfed this dungeon and I've still, recently seen people still take the half-hour-hand-slap to avoid this dungeon. Sorry but I think you've been misled there.

Nah, that is just people being lazy to put any effort. Like it is a leveling dungeon for "gods" sake. It never was anything to pull hair off, even in the past. Just something to keep you on your toes, like being careful in the first room and avoiding Mr Coin's attacks by watching the animation/skill name.
But apparently that is already too much nowadays. Any kind of effort is viewed negatively in gaming communities nowadays

That dungeon never was any good in a map design or thematic way imo. The fun part was that it wasn't a total faceroll like every other 4 man content is in this game.

I'd love to see a Deep Dungeon that is based on the Crystal Tower.

I know we've visited the place twice now, but with G'raha Tia back and joining our group, I think he could possibly open it up for us to explore and weed out. The place is supposed to be several hundred floors, at least in Final Fantasy III it was given that feel. Higher floors could even expand upon our small exploration into the Void, maybe we actually get in there and start fixing the place!

If not Crystal Tower, there are several other places that have been affected by the Calamity.
