Please, dont bring Bojza back!

[AddictedToWitches]

In a french interview Yoshi-P states that he planned to add exploration zones like Bozja/Eureka.

Quote:

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.

Fuck you
bozja blast

[EdwinChucklenuts]

Yeah Bozja was pretty shit ngl. I don't remember much from my Eureka days other than just sitting in a wad and waiting for the sweats who already grinded the shit out to powerlevel us, but Bozja was a slog. It's just a FATE train farm with extra steps and exp loss. And I ain't even tryna fuck with all those billions of items from the clusters, especially when there was only like one or two that are the optimal epic mlg picks. After farming one relic there I think I'm good on it for keeps. Though it did have some nice glam! Unfortunately it sounds like they're doing one of those zones here but hey, Dawntrail encounters and zones seem good so far so I'm hopeful they won't drop the ball this time.

Its an neverending content to fix content draught. So its good. If youve been there you know how its like when the game goes into sleep mode with nothing to do.

[KillaKilala]

I love Eureka/Bozja, but I agree please no more FATE-trains, we have that in the normal areas

[GoatOfWar]

Don't do it i guess.

[genuine_stranger]

Loved Eureka, but Bozja just didn't do it for me. Maybe it was the fact that it was just FATE trains without spawnconditions that would mix them up a bit.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the new field operations.

If you don't like Eureka/Bozja then don't play it and let the people who actually enjoy going in there (like me) play and have fun.
You are allowed to have an opinion obviously, but coming and saying "Please don't bring this back it sucks imo!!!" about optional content feels very weird.

In Shadowbringers for Bozja they implemented relic steps that didn't need you to go continue Bozja If you didn't like it (You only have to go through Southern Fronts + Castrum 1x, then Delubrum and one simple quest afterwards to unlock the whole questline, which can be easily done in 1-2 days without a lot of effort) and I'm pretty sure even IF they link the relics to the field instances, you will have the option to not go in there anyways.
Just don't do it or only do as much as needed If you really don't like it, just please please don't ruin it for the people who love and care about it.

This is the last content they should forget to include in a expansion again, endwalker was a horrible mistake for not including it.

Hands down the best gaming experience I have ever had period exploring the secrets of eureka or just the fast flow of bozja. Relics or not it was really fun, lots of loot to obtain! Classic MMO experience packed into a few instances with unique levelling.

They are literally adding one of every kind of content this expansion. There will be something for you to enjoy so please don't speak for others. There is no cut corners this expansion. We are getting everything and that covers everyone!

[Kemiko]

I'm excited to get field operations again. I'm hoping that it'll be more than just a FATE grind and some terrible "timed instance" dungeon. I'm hoping gatherers and crafters can enjoy it just as much as combat jobs and I'm hoping that it will not be tied to the relic weapons story. Period. That's not to say I don't want to be able to progress relics while inside the content but that I don't want the content required to start or progress the relic at all. Long as it does that, I'll be excited to try it out.

[BokoToloko]

With the graphical updates and the fact it won't be a warzone, they better make the zone looks good and not like the empty rock of glib nothingness Zadnor was.

Other than that, hyped to play the new FO zone when I return to FFXIV. Hope they do keep the best parts of Eureka and Bozja. Power progression, good looks, rare items like the Magia Board expansion items and making mobs overall meaningful from Eureka whereas they should keep Critical Engagement, a similar system to the Bozjan Holster, FATEs but with a more balanced reward attached to avoid completely reducing the zones to FATE trains like Zadnor pretty much has been. I didn't have issue with Duels, but I don't see them having much place in a content that seems to be more about "exploration" than being a warzona like Bozja.

And anyone who has an issue with Field Operations are free to keep AFKing in Limsa while waiting for queues while the rest who enjoy the content gets to do just that.
