I want players to at least take something away from these encounters, but I'm not sure what.

Also, they're not intended for every player to see them. I want them to be for a very lucky few portion of the player base. Whether or not the dev team thinks that's a good idea or not is up to them. I don't want this to be a 'feature' in ffxiv that gives players a reason to sign up for it. I want it moreso to be a secret, or easter egg. If that makes sense.
