Add Battle Arena to the GoldenSaucer?

[SockOutlet]

Gold Saucer was an idea pulled from FF7. It had all types of mini games and stuff. One in particular? The battle areana. I think this would fit perfectly in FFXIV's golden saucer. Perhaps it can be a floor above the chocobo racing area.

We have the masked carnival with the Blue Mage Solo battle arena thats pretty close to what I'd want but thats the thing. Its only for blue mages.

Then we have Bozja's 1 on 1 duels! Thats also a solo battle thing that helps you get a nice reward once you collect all of the notes and with the help of lost actions any class can do any fight solo.

I believe the FFXIV team can definitely do it! The 14 battle arena can do it just like in Bozja. You can let us queue up for some duels blue mage style. Once inside, depending on the class or not you give us a selection of lost actions to choose from. What lost action will help most for the fight? Well, we will have to decide for ourselves.

I'd rather them not do it this way but they can make it a raffle who gets to fight and they can put on a spectacle for everyone in the gold saucer to watch. Hell, perhaps that can just be a super special extremely difficult fight that gives you a completely different item from the normal battle arena but it sounds like a good idea in my mind.

What do you guys think? I am not saying they should add it for Endwalker but maybe one day in the future it would be something fun to do when you're looking for a new challenge.

Could be cool.
Neat way to add some non-instanced excitement to the Gold Saucer and bring a new activity to BLU~

Personally I'd love to see something more like FFVII's Battle Arena which was also a part of Gold Saucer in that game and thus would be totally appropriate here! That one was basically see how long you last, and so just going hoping to tank and spank would quickly end in failure, due to the accumulating handicaps given to you with each successive battle you win, but the longer you lasted, the greater the rewards.

It would thus require a certain amount of finesse as well as luck rather than simply going in at level cap with your best ilevel gear and weapon, because oh dear, you now have Weapon Broken handicap and your weapon is now at 0% weapon condition (to use an example). It would soon bring many so-called 'elite' players down to size I'm sure.

Of course it would require a lot of balancing to compensate for different classes, but I'm sure it would be doable (no different to say THM/BLM having to do solo class quest fights). I'd love to see this added.
