My hope for it is for it not to be as tough as Criterion but to be something you can scramble 3 FC members into a party for.
If they brought back the demiclone system then a harder one-off floor 99 boss makes sense, since demiclones utterly trivialize the fight otherwise. It was a big flaw of the system in EO where demiclones weren't really worth using on normal floors (in a group, anyway) and people tended to just save a bunch of onion knights to kill the 99 boss before it could do anything.

Dunno if that's the actual reason, but it's a possibility.
