What could be refreshed in 1-50 content range?

The Coils raids definitely need some kind of rework or retuning so they can be added to Roulettes, and run at the right time in the story instead of having to either ask for a carry in PF or doing it 3 expansions later solo

[Makeda]

Make the 2 MSQ dungeons into solo duties that a player runs once and is then done with unless they use New Game+.

The storyline of these actually makes more sense solo, and it would solve all the conflict over the length and the tension a new player faces of feeling rushed in the playable parts.

Turn a lot of the 'side NPC' moments into side quests. Much of New Ala Migo, Filaminon, and the whole dinner party before the primal could be side quests.

Things to keep would be anything that strengthens scion and ascian lore.

I'm of half a mind to say that even Grand Companies should be side quests - mandatory only for unlocking frontline PvP as they directly tie to that. Optional side content otherwise.

i hope they take a grindstone to the crystal tower raids and make them as hard as Yorha raids. maybe then ilv cheesers will think twice.

[sharknado]

Possibly, if one is about to do a dungeon for the first time, and there is a new marker type, make the training part of the unlock....

Doom icon as well.

Trim about 30% more quests, the whole wine and cheese bit around Brayflox could be cut out with zero loss of story.

Ten characters

If I remember correctly...without Brayflox and the Cheesewar there would be no Alexander raid, and the wine person play a role later. Brayflox and the wine person also have a prominent role in the Endwalker melee dps role quests if you choose a particular sentence in a conversation.

Possibly, if one is about to do a dungeon for the first time, and there is a new marker type, make the training part of the unlock.... as an example, run to a guy at the entrance of Sohm Al (I think that's the first for stack), he explains what a stack marker is maybe with Smith like "try it", only then does the dungeon entrance appear.

There's a stack in Syrcus Tower, but the now-standardized stack marker doesn't show up in mandatory content until the Final Steps of Faith.

[RitsukoSonoda]

This is something that probably covers more than ARR duties but updating pre EW duties to have attack markers in line with EW would probably help a little. An example being all Tankbuster attacks I've noticed in EW duties have a specific marker now where as it was rarely used before EW and in cases before EW I believe only appeared in Trials or Raids. Having the markers for specific mechanics or attack types be uniform through all lvl ranges would help people become familiar with them faster.

The 1-50 duties I feel are mostly fine as they are. Though maybe syncing the ilvl down more for CT raids, Meridianum, Praetorium, westwind so they aren't so face-rolly on the actual gameplay parts making ppl do mechanics. The only trimming I would look for in that early part of the game would be to the solo MSQ fetch/delivery/talk to X quests that basically are little more than go here and click on the spot or npc for multiple steps. I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple more that could be trimmed out without taking anything away from the early story.

get rid of all the deadend paths in 2.0 dungeons

rework the 3 starting dungeons, nothing says fun like falling asleep in copperbell waiting for the bombs to blow up multiple time so the boss can be killed

I'm of two minds on this. For one, I agree because dead end paths are useless aside from exploration achievement and a crummy low level chest, especially now that all trash XP has been rolled into the boss XP, and certain bosses like the bombs boss you brought up are rather boring.

But on the flip side, I like the idea of making dungeons less linear and giving optional paths, possibly with challenging content with meaningful rewards, though I do understand that'd be difficult to balance to make it worth doing but also not obligatory.

And those unique bosses? I appreciate them making unique gimmick bosses so early, show newcomers that it's not all just boring tank n spank fights and some fights requires doing mechaics. Especially after the generic boring Sastasha. Could it be done better? Sure. But it's nice they made something unique so early. They could have easily made the first 30 levels worth of dungeons all Sastasha levels of difficulty.

This. As much as I hate the earlier dungeons for being boring due to level sync, they feel more like dungeons because of how non-linear they feel by comparison. Like I'm actually exploring and fighting through something.

As an aside, I think they should lower the GC rank requirement to turn in things like dungeon equipment for seals. Having levelled multiple alts, getting them to the point where I can turn in gear is pretty obnoxious after the hunt logs are cleared. FATES and GC Battle Leves don't exactly give enough to feel efficient for promoting them anymore.

I really like most of your ideas. Maybe make the Grand Company accessible at level 10 so you can get your chocobo faster and not have to walk for like 30 MSQs first.
