Could square revive fates?

Maybe if they tied more things to the FATEs similar to what they did with a couple steps in the relic quests in ARR and kind of revisted with the Bozjan ones now that use fates in HW areas. They are a decent source of EXP to do while waiting for duty queues if you're leveling a DPS class. We all know healer and tank will just instaqueue >.> lol

The game is plagued with enough inflation as it is due to the severe lack of gil sinks to take it out of circulation. We don't need to make the problem worse by making them hand out more gil.

They could try adding random experience bonuses and the maiden mechanic to pre-Stormblood expansions; that might help a lot.

Personally, I would rather do open world content for levelling. Not just for high end levelling content but from lv1-90. Fates are lacking to provide a good amount experience points and enjoyment for my time. Having daily FATEs in which certain FATEs spawn on specific days or randomly switch from one day to another would be an improvement to the open world. I want to form parties of up to 8 players to do these, though. Just no incentives for joining parties.

I wouldn't mind a reputation grind like Beastman rep. Each leve already has a client faction, so just give out +rep with the client faction as a reward. Then in the cities have rep merchants that offer goodies after reaching a certain rep threshold, like beastman.

Borrowing mechanics from Bozja/Zadnor for FATEs, including spawning CE's that will scale to number of people participating would be a great thing.

It would not only revive FATEs, it would also save "S" rank mob encounters from being one-shots, if they scaled properly in enclosed CE.

This would be awesome. They'd just have to make sure to scale level and gear just like the FATEs when the "CE" popped.

Yeah, they improved on FATES in different ways for Eureka, Bozja, and the Shadowbringers MSQ zones. Using that as a template or inspiration for ARR and HW zones and even to jump up StB zones would be great for those who like FATES, but there may not be enough players who do to warrant the resources to do such updates.

I'm a super casual player, I sub on and off of the game so I'm unaware of the need for fates at endgame.

However, I would love if square somehow brought fates back alive for levelling classes. Just thinking back in ARR where there would always be so many people in northern than farming fates... was just good old fashioned fun!
