The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

I feel like Variant / Criterion / Criterion Savage instances could become an interesting endgame alternative for 4 players if CS3 would allow them to be. Gradually increased difficulty in the fights, proper loot for clearing. That'd be cool.

Variant/Criterion definitely had some problems but I think it was a decent first pass and could have been turned into something great if they had stuck with it and tried to refine the concept.

Well, we are getting more Variants and Criterions (at least I remember that being announced), so Square most likely hasn't given up on the concept yet. They are sadly just very slow to react to feedback (considering that the players asking for proper gear rewards was kinda answered with the weapon upgrade in Aloalo, the third instance). The iteration we get in DT could be even better, once it releases and if CS3 manages to evolve the general concept. Definitely looking forward to that one.
