    Icentives To Play Old and New Content

    While I was waiting 54 minutes 35 seconds for a party to run Odin I was thinking of ideas that SE could add that would give people a reason to keep playing through old and newer content.

    What would be great incentives and additions to the game are to add gear sets and weapons from the heroes and villains from previous FF games. SE wouldn't have to add all of them at once however, they could add 5 hero sets and 2 villain sets in one patch and add more as time goes on. The idea is adding, for example, Irvine Kinneas chest piece can drop off the last boss in Tam Tara and his legs can drop of the last boss in Wanderers Palace. All weapons can drop off different Primal bosses etc...
    They could add certain vanity items to fates as well.

    This is an idea that could breathe life back into older and newer content that people have zero reason to run anymore so they don't. I'd be one of the first ones out their farming some of the gear

    It would be a win win for everyone.

    Ironically, there's probably more incentive to run Odin than most older primals since he drops glamour stuff.

    We did it with myself(Warrior), a dragon, a black mage, and a Scholar in 180s. I just assumed with everyone having 200 gear, it'd be possible to 3 man.

    I'll probably end up getting the clear by going in unsynced with just a couple people but I don't want to do it that way. I like the challenge of Odin and it is a fun fight. I usually play till pretty late at night so the Q's are longer anyway.

    Honestly, my FC mates and I find the challenge interesting in trying to beat these fights unsynced with small parties. We have been trying to 3 man Ifrit EX(last nail phase is our "wall" at the moment, we can do it 4man successfully) We have lots of pics on our forums of crazy clears dating back to 3 man/ no healer bray hm runs in 110 gear. Try it out sometime.

    That's great! =) I am sure it is a lot of fun with just 3 or 4 people. I mentioned it in my FC yesterday and a few people seem interested. I appreciate the feedback.

    This is true however a lot of people don't seem to run it that much anymore. The idea is to give incentives to run all the older content.

    That's probably because the margin for failure is extremely high for Odin. I got my clear and swore to never do it again.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
