Variant & Criterion Dungeons

That answer is on the thief's note when you get the scales right. If you take your time to stop and look around instead of being in such a rush to even have the mobs go active, you'll notice these things.

Thank you for assuming I just bum rushed through the room and didn't think to look around or examine my surroundings. That's really super special amazing awesome fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing the normal mode and getting the mount, and I stepped into the harder version and it seems like it'll be really fun too. My only complaint is the same as a lot of people's. There's very little reward for doing the harder versions. If I wasn't a mount collector I don't think I'd have much reason to ever do it more than once for the experience of doing it.

Dungeon content is great. Rather poor reward system. Part of me wishes there were some alt. Gear rewards for doing the savage version. Maybe even be a way for alt jobs to get a head start on gearing for current savage to offer players better flexibility idk

My biggest gripe is with how obscure some of the route clues are, or how certain routes are separate by a sliver of dialogue that requires the smallest of details. I would never have figured out the correct ore sacks to use on the left path without having looked up the answer. I don't need the answer to necessarily be obvious, but I'd at least like to know where to look for the answer.

Best I can figure they were going for something the community can come together and work out as a collective(like WoW secrets discord does) which is nice on paper but in practice it means only a handful of people really see about solving the puzzles which is kind of a bummer.

I can cosplay Columbo in FFXIV now. I'm happy.

I love variant, and I'm a huge fan of diving deeper into some very ancient ARR lore. The exploration, boss variations are all fantastic. . I can't wait to see what the next variant dungeon is. I haven't done criterion or criterion savage yet, but I'm excited to see what it has in store! Great job FFXIV team!!

I'm hopeful for the next dungeon being the Gelmorran ruins in North Shroud. There's that very conspicuous fancy door just waiting to be a dungeon entrance.

I KNOW RIGHT! I know POTD and tam-tara are supposed to be dives into Gelmorra, but I would certainly not mind more. It's clear that the devs *do* remember it, as you can actually find Alpha and Omega inspecting the Gelmorran ruins.

glad im not the only one who remembers this door exists!

I'm curious about a couple of doors in Dravania too that are very conspicuous. Particularly one segment of the map that requires flight to reach but curiously never has anything take place there

plus, ishgard and dravania before the dragonsong war is very unexplored territory lore wise. We know not every ishgardian was happy with the war breaking out even back then.

A criterion behind one of these doors would be great
