Battle Arena in the Gold Saucer.

[Ramzal]

Can we have this at some point? With the nerf/buff reels feature as well? I think this could be a real challenge for players in groups to participate in and fight instance bosses/adds. But instead of tomestones it would all be for MGP with the arena reels being a large factor in the battles.

If you think about it, a lot of the nerfs from FF7 arena reels can translate well over to 14.

Lower item levels by factors of 5 or 10.
Poison everyone.
Turn everyone into imps.
Mini the players for a period of time.
Break our accessories (But not to a point where we'd have to repair them... or maybe make it so that we do making it more meaningful by way of having something come at an actual cost of dark matter.).
Make it so that offensive buffs can't be used.
Make it so that defensive buffs can't be used.
Make it a challenge for us and have the reels be different each time in whatever order.

I think it would add a good spin to the combative side of the game if there were a battle arena in the gold saucer that did this and had us go from fighting adds from Amdapor Keep in a room to fighting Ifrit hard mode and slowly upping the difficulty of this gauntlet through several rounds of different enemies. And as we'd progress while keeping the surrounding aesthetics that of a Battle arena as opposed to tossing us in the instance surroundings.
