    Bozja owned.

    Didn't care about relics, only got a few because I got sick of farming extremes for weapons mid StB when they made those fights easier and yet more tedious with long, boring transitions.

    But Bozja's strength is its content. Tougher than normal raids generally and the lost action systems allowed you to approach it in ways that FFXIV in general doesn't let you do stuff. It's an environment where it was fun and OK to break things. So, a little bit of an RPG in my MMORPG. And raid trash encounters that challenged us to have a need for 24 people other than 'boss has enough health for 24 people'.

    Like all content, once you do it there's less reason to return, but damn it it wasn't fun, even if purely you didn't know exactly what was coming down the pipeline next like with the normal, extreme, alliance and savage patch content.

    I loved both of them and hope we have more zones like it.

    Everything you said in the original post is opinion, but stated as if it were a fact. That doesn't just make it true.
    Both functioned well for their designed purpose, and plenty of people enjoyed them.

    Bozja is the undisputed king of the “alliance raids put me to sleep but I don’t feel like actually committing time right now to extreme and up” content

    I don’t think people really give Bozja enough credit for just how many high quality fights there are in it
    -40 CE’s
    -3 raids each with 4 bosses
    -DRS

    There is just so many alliance raid/normal raid quality bosses in Bozja and it is a perfect niche for that content I mentioned above

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    We already knew field content was coming. If they can make it something besides endless FATE farms and make sure it's evergreen in some manner (some sort of connected roulette or changing rewards would probably work) then it should be a better experience.

    And yeah, don't gate relics behind it. Let the content succeed or fail on its own merits.

    ARR atma grinding was truly the gold standard for relic-related content.

    Now I can run Eureka and Bozja to get tomes for EW relics! Oh maybe the new one will drop tomes too! That's like double the relics! This is exciting times for a relic hunter.

    Dear Square Enix, please bring Bozja back. Please give me future excuses to not interact with a stupid annoying cat you forced upon the MSQ.

    Please... dont. I hate Eureka and Bozja. Nothing in there worked. The whole concept of Bozja/Eureka is horrible. People just played it because of the relic weapons. But it was not fun. You can do nothing except waiting or following the FATE-train.
    Cool story.

    I like Bozja. And Eureka.

    You can simply not do the content. If you don't do high level content, you don't even need the relics.

    Not everything in this MMORPG with millions of players has to be curated for YOU and YOU alone.

    It's not exactly news. This content was announced literally ages ago. I can even tell you the name of it - Shade's Triangle, which is a segment of ocean found on the map of Tural.

    But I can compromise with you - they don't have to make it like Bozja. They could make it like Eureka instead, which I truly enjoyed.
