Original JP thread started by Marc: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/15310

ダンジョン内に置いて欲しい仕掛けを提案してください。
直近のインスタントダンジョンに求めるのは無理なので、その後の展開として考えてください。
Please post ideas on traps/gadgets you would like to see within the raids.
It's probably not possible for the current raid's coming soon but think this as for later raids.

テンプレも用意してみました、テンプレ内だけで対応できるものについては利用してください。

宝箱に入った紙切れを見つけ、その言葉を繋ぎ合わせてできる"文字"が正しければ、扉が開く。
Look for a piece of paper inside a chest, with all the papers it makes a word and if the word is correct it opens the door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[詳細]
沢山の宝箱が置いてある部屋ある、その宝箱の中には、ミミックか"一枚の紙切れ"が入っている。
うまく正解だけの箱を見つければミミックとの戦闘はない。
正解は１０文字の"言葉"の繋ぎだが、６枚目の紙を見つけた時点で、その答えが推測できた。
この場合は、推測した文字を含めて扉開けにチャレンジできる。
There is a room with lots of chest, there is either a piece of paper or a mimic (mob).
If you choose the correct ones you wouldn't have to fight the mimics.
Correct answer is 10 letter word, say requires 6 papers to complete the word. you can either try to guess or complete the papers.

I'll try post some of the JP posts in here translated also to see if you like those you can go back to their post and press the like button or something.

So should we go ahead and post some ideas of our own, or are we just perusing through(and liking) ideas on the JP side of the pond?

Edit - Lol reading comprehension.


Idea:

[Switch Room]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[How to unlock]

Party must either press or stand at a correct sequence of switches in order to open a gate/door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Details]

In any given room, there could be no mobs, but rather a bunch of switches and a gate/door. In order to operate the door, the correct sequence of switches must be pressed, and up until reaching this room or even in the room, there could be clues on what switches must be pressed/held(through color patterns, images, riddles maybe, etc.). Once the party presses the switches, then chooses to operate the door, either it will open, or they will get the combination wrong and could suffer a type of penalty or be forced to fight a group of monsters.

Once the party presses the switches, then chooses to operate the door, either it will open, or they will get the combination wrong and could suffer a type of penalty or be forced to fight a group of monsters.

Along those same lines, the switches can be "pressure plates" activated by players standing on certain spots on the floor. There are several pressure plate/switches in the room that you must activate to open the door. Step on a pressure plate/switch, and it spawns a mob that attacks the group. And whoever steps on the pressure plate/switch first is stuck in that place until all the switches are pressed.

So parties will have to consider where they're standing and moving while fighting, so they don't accidentally step on a plate and spawn additional mobs and get stuck in place. And they'll have to make decisions about who stands on which plates. And they'll have to use ranged attacks while stuck on a plate. And they'll have to consider pulling mobs to an area within the ranged attack range of all party members that are stuck on plates.

【Floor/Wall Panel Puzzle】
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[How to Unlock/Disable/Pass]
Solve the puzzle on the floor/wall panel running energy from point A to B (Goal) or multiple goals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Details]
You have a energy source at beginning and you have to somehow transfer the energy to the other source by goal to pass the area. You have floor panels you can rotate with energy flow patterns written on them you have to match the panels so the energy can flow through A to B or multiple B,C,D++ to energize the gate/door. The floor panel can go up walls making it bit more harder. If you miss the puzzle mobs will pop up and you have to keep on doing till you solve it.

I thought Dungeons & Dragons online did this effectively with sort of pipe-light puzzles. If you sent the light into the wrong areas, mobs would spawn and attack you. And you can make them sort of 3-d -- running up and down walls, and connecting to other walls -- to make the puzzles more complicated.

【*仕掛け名】ボムスイーパ Bomb Sweeper

壺が並んでいて、壺の中にカギが入っている。
でも、壺の中にはボムも入っている。
自分の周りの壺の中にいるボムの数はわかるが場所はわからない。
正しい壺のふたを開け続ければカギが手に入るが間違った壺のふたを開けた瞬間
全てのボムが爆発。
Pots are in the room. One of the pots have the key, but same time bombs are inside the pots.
You know how many bombs are around the pots but you don't know which one has the actual bombs.
If you open the correct pot then you can obtain the key, if wrong one picked all the bombs explodes

周りのモノが全てが巨大化しているダンジョン
Everything around you became large (or you go smaller) - Kind of like being casting the minimum spell from FF3 and going through the water dragons shrine through the dragon statues eye. Boss was a rat that stole the dragon statue's eye.

部屋に閉じ込められて、壁が迫ってきます。
時間内に壁を倒さないと押しつぶされて全滅。

PTメン二人を生贄にしてブレイクっていうのは…無しですよねｗ

Trapped in a room and the wall is closing in on you.
Defeat the wall in time or you get crushed and wiped.

We can't... have 2 party members and have them cast break (FF4 reference Parom & Porom casting break to stop the wall from closing in on the party.)

Sort of a play on Amu's idea:

[Craft That Key!]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[How to complete]

Craft a special key to open a door(or series of doors) within the dungeon to reach the boss.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Details]

Located throughout the dungeon will be various groups of monsters with a leader holding a material required to create a "master key". In order to complete the required key, you will have to defeat the monster leader, collect the pieces and then have somebody craft the key, open the lock(or locks) and then proceed through the rest of the dungeon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a side note, I really think that some of these ideas(like the naked run idea) could work nicely as storyline related stuff.
