Scale the Crystal Tower series of raids to level 60, so we actually get to see some mechanics. Looking at you Scylla and Boss2.

Environment: weird fantasy place where the bizarre and mysterious fuse (lol?)
boss: some sort of doc doom of final fantasy with no mercy and enjoys killin people
8-man trial.
ilvl syncs upon entry to ilvl xx, in case a player's ilvl surpassess xx.
General mechanics: usual AoEs with visual effects, tank busters with cast time, insta-cleaves front-cone aoe..
Other mechanics:
>Non aggroable boss, it hits anyone, anytime or anywhere with RNG system. Boss actions are multiple, not easy to read, nor to memorize, can do multiple actions at the same time.
>Random insta-kill upon certain boss actions and/or %hp of boss and/or time elapsed from pull, no fixed job/role targets, all RNG.
>insta-kill debuff statuses ,some sort of petrification of t7s, like..i dunno.. if u get heals or heal urself or use healing items u die, stuff like that
>boss with lots of HP
>dynamic battle ground with some sort of buffs, debuffs, restorative spells/items
>non predictable raid-wide damage
I was kind of disappointed the Warriors of Darkness fight wasn't a Trial... They could do a Mistrel's Ballad for it.
Make them amped up versions of the normal skills of their classes
Have the BRD and BLM target random people (both target the same person, switch targets every so often)
WHM either doing some minor healing or attacking, maybe use Esuna to get rid of DoTs on the others and sleep a random person with Repose every so often.
Since pretty much all trials are 8 man, to make use of both tanks make the WAR and PLD tankable and give both a tank buster that together would instakill a single tank.
Maybe use their Echo for phase swaps, when one of them gets beaten down they all heal up and change tactics.

I would make a series of full 24 man trials. The first of the series would have Garuda, Titan and Ifirit all in one go.
The arena would have the pillars from Garudas battle, but Titan and Ifirit can also damage them, Titan would also gradually make the arena smaller as per usual. The trick would be to coordinate the damage on the primals so that you kill one first (probably Garuda to get rid of the pillar requirement before the other two can destroy them) while keeping an eye on the other Primals. (ifirit and Titans plumes, land slide and Titan jumping into the middle of the arena)
The second in the series would be in the water with leviathan, shiva, and ramuh. Levy would toss water puddles onto the arena that the other two would affect. Ramuh would electrify the gradually growing puddles and shiva would freeze the puddle and anyone inside. leviathan would keep his boat slam mechanic and the trick here would be to avoid the puddles as you slide. Would probable have to kill leviathan first, to prevent the entire arena from getting engulfed in his puddles.
For some reason, the title of this thread put in my head super mario's song :0
Thought , this thread have a good suggestion![]()
