How about some actual Player vs ENVIROMENT content?

What about lava that damages you while you are standing in it or walking through it, like the earlier FFs? There could be an item that reduces the damage taken, and even equipment at the end (dropped by a boss perhaps) that allows you to negate the damage.

this will only add
DON'T STAND IN THE FIRE! WoW like add-on. kidding.

ummm.... they do have similar stuff in ff11. Do you know how a pain those are.... fun game yes
tedious game NO.

really why do ppl mix up challenge and tedious?
