I'd also like to see something along the lines of personal optional rewards, where something the player can do individually nets them something useful. Say you avoid certain mechanics perfectly during a boss, you personally get an extra VIII materia, or extra such-and-such weapon light, etc. Incentives to be more than an auto-pilot derp.
I like these ideas, and they were sort of what I was hoping for in the procedurally generated dungeons we've had but that fell quite short.
