8-Bit Dungeon!

I think it is not directly possible as a guildhest or such. But it could be possible as a seperated, yet in XIV integrated game, which you could join alone or with some friends.

If they could pull it off, it'd be a very welcome addition. I love stuff like that.

I was already thinking of something along these lines, but I don't see a need for actual 8-bit graphics.

I would love to see a dungeon in FFXIV where combat is handled like classic FF. Where your party makes it's way forward and random encounters initiate. Your screen changes to an overhead view, with your party's characters standing on the right side of the screen and the enemies standing on the left, and you trade blows in classic FF style, without all the MMO style running around and positioning. I am sure some people would hate it, but I would LOVE it.

Although I welcome this idea, I don't see how they would properly be able to make it with turn-based fights. The whole point of turn based fights in the offline FF's was so that since it's single-player, it'd be easier to manage a full party.

But 8-bit dungeon sure would be fun :3 maybe they could make something along these lines when they add the Gold Saucer? ;p

That...sounds pretty awesome actually!

I would rather see a quest line that retales the original Final Fantasy Story, add in new map areas to mimic the orignal game, and make it play out like if was in a Theater.

I do like a couple of points that are made in here.

The 8-bit style dungeon would be cool, don't think they could really alter the flow of combat for a turn based style, I suppose they could. But graphic wise I think they could certainly do it and hopefully they could do it very cost effectively so they can add some interesting stuff in.

The random encounters is also a cool idea. With as many influences Chaos has in the game world, I could see them incorporating pockets of chaos in an area where monsters randomly pop out to attack you. Perhaps they could do something like that for Eureka whenever they include it in the game with CT.
