Icentives To Play Old and New Content

[Tiah]

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.

54 mins????? Honestly I would've grabbed 2 other FC members and unsynced that in 5 mins. eff doing that content through DF.

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.

And when people have all the new glamour stuff, then what? SE has to add MORE glamour stuff to the same old trials to keep people playing them?

It's just an idea since there has been a lot of suggestions on how to make older content viable again and no.

Oh, I'm sure when the new relic quest comes out in November, SE will load that with plenty of farming of old content.

All 4- and 8-man old content can now be run unsynced, and while some fights can still be annoying (Titan, Leviathan etc. with insta-death mechanics), they have the ability to be run with a few friends so you can get whatever you're after.

The content I see a lot of people asking to be made some kind of relevant again is Crystal Tower - it still requires 24 people to want to do it, can't be unsynced, and is in general just realistically impossible to get into.

My personal preference for solving that particular issue is a CT Roulette, let it award a few tomestones of Law and Esoterics, and just let it be an alternative method for capping your tomestones compared to running the same two Expert dungeons again and again and again.

every piece of content should drop nearly exclusive crafting mats. when people need those mats they'll run the content.

they can start by taking all those Zodiac quest items and turning them into 100% drops that are crafting mats.

Technically all Primals drop "glamour" stuff, just depends on you taste.
