    The only thing I liked about Eureka was the Baldesian Arsenal. Daldriada, DR and the first Bozja raid didn't hold a candle to it.

    I LOVE Dalriada for how painstaking it was. I have fond memories of all three raids, and I really wish people did them more often again. Id love to relive them. The first raid especially was so freaking cool, though the third was just as fun.

    Dalriada was never hard it just excessively sandbagged by square balancing it based on the assumption people would bring the easily accessible “80% DPS up” essences, but in true 14 community style they instead decided to all bring lost bubble and overwrite each other while complaining on the forums that people shouldn’t be expected to buy or farm essences and they should be given for free

    Due to this the bosses felt like they had 4 times much health as they should, because we should have been doing 4x as much damage

    I think they were on the right track with Bozja, though I prefer the more high fantasy styling of Eurkea, I think they should of attempted another one. I really hope they don't skip doing a new one in 7.X.

    Going to the New World is cool, especially knowing that its most likely a region focused expansion. Which is a thing a lot of people are excited for, but I feel like an exploratory zone could really benefit on expanding the storyline of establishing the New World.

    Think of all the native legends, and imagery that could take place in such zones, along with its raids. (though the raids should definitely be inside the instance a cue, not like Dalriada). They could take any legend on the New World, and make a zone themed around it, and its lore. It would have the power to truly paint the New World in a wider scale. Doesn't even have to be a country undiscovered. It could be a secret jungle, a floating isle hidden in the New World, a vast cave system, or even a lost city.
    Bozja story quest also finish on a cliffhanger we never saw the end of it truly. We freed Bozja but, Dalmasca is still under the control of the Empire and the 4th Legion seem to act quite independent from the Empire too so it would be nice if we could see the end of it

    They said they were discussing instances zones for 7.0 so I have hope we will see them again. Some of the best content for me in the game and I miss it big time this xpac.

    They exchanged exploratory zones for Criterion "Run me 12 times" dungeons, and Island sanctuary. Safe to say, short of another peek at 7.0 content that we are not getting an exploratory zone for the forseeable future, and that would likely mean we're getting another welfare relic in 7.0 with it.

    Bozja/Eureka were fun in Groups of people. Most of the hate I see for them come from solo grinders that get slaughtered by the Red chocobo. I personally wouldn't mind getting another similar zone but of course the dev team has already doubled down on their own flawed ideas.

    The relic had nothing to do with exploratory zones until SB and if the zone has to be tied to it for it to be sustained then the content itself likely isn't worthwhile. Relics are their own thing and didn't need those zones to exist and those zones should be able to stand on its own without hijacking another expansion questline/grind.

    I agree that incentives need to be there to keep players filling up content but exploratory zones can do that without the relic system being part of it. I'd prefer exploratory zones to exist as their own thing rather than a subsystem of the relic questlines.

    No. I want them to bring back the ARR style or Relic quests where you had specific objectives and each weapon had its own history and lore tied to them.

    I rather they evolve exploratory zones to be more diverse areas and activities that don't just involve FATE farms. I don't want another Bozja or Eureka repeat

    I'd rather farm the next relic through the island sanctuary than having to endure the steaming pile of shit that was the ARR relic grind. Never Again.

    ^when are people going to stop pretending that Bozja is only fate farming

    Bozja has the best collection of casual battle content and it isn’t even close, 4 large scale raids and CE’s don’t even need you to farm skirmishes

    Sure skirmishes are Fates in the classical sense but they are only a tiny part of Bozja
