    Community contest idea - Design a boss fight

    Every now and then we see threads pop up like "Here is my idea for a boss fight! I think these mechanics would be awesome!"

    So, my suggestion to the development team is to create a community contest for a Primal fight. The winner(s) would have their ideas implemented in the game.

    We had one for armor. Let's have one for a Primal / boss fight.

    Possibilities for the contest include:
    Lore: The creator should outline how the Lore of the fight connects to the game. Or, leave it up to the developers. (optional)

    Mechanics: The creator should outline in detail the mechanics of the boss fight. Do the players need to use the environment to fight the boss? What do they need to dodge? Or use special skills to counter / interrupt mechanics? (This is the core part)

    Design: The creator should create a design for the boss. Unfortunately, many people lack artistic ability, so I would say this could be left to the developers also. (optional)

    Extreme / Hard mode: The creator should outline differences in Hard and Extreme modes.

    The winner(s) would have their ideas implemented in the game.
    Could we have a contest like this? I think it would be really interesting to see everyone's ideas.

    Plus, the developers would have a good chance to analyze what kind of fights people are most interested in by looking at respondents suggestions.

    The gaming community is gonna get spoiled because lore which is the core selling point of final fantasy, and the mechanic which is the core selling point of mmo are already explained into great details in the contest.. I'd say it might only work with the design, but eh.. with that being said, the developer will lack ideas because the design comes from someone else.. This is only my opinion tho..
