For the BGM something like this would be cool

Naw something like this would be better, switching to a high tempo version during battle.

Having different music for each floor would be cool.

A mix between the two could work as noted, you need instance for balance, just look at the "invasion events" we have. The main baddy gets pwned in 10 seconds cause 50+ are just ripping him to shreds lol. Kinda like, there could be baddies outside/in tower you have to fend off in order to unlock certain instances but if you don't keep the horde at bay then you may lose access to certain instances til you succeed in fending them off in the open world.

That's too open world, we can't have that!

How about a open world dungeon with closed doors? You need to get a key from a specific mini boss to unlock the door (but only for you and your party). And the further you progresses in the dungeon the lesser the crowd get, because they need to win the claim war for the next door first ^^

And the end boss is behind the last door and it can't be unlock while there is already a party behind.

I'm fine with stuff like that, heck mix the open dungeon with instanced areas, that's fine, cool, just don't make everything cool instanced.

Crystal tower in concept just screams Nyzul isle, I can't see it not being instanced.

Some stuff is fine instanced and this sounds like a concept better placed in a instance than open-world. Wouldn't mind it having some elements outside of the instance though like quests that are unlocked the higher up you climb.

I don't see why they couldn't mix em together in this Tower, i think it would be fun.
