Replayability and rewatchability for Solo Instances

[RedLolly]

This is a large part of why I still wish the match against Gulool Ja Ja had been a trial instead, that fight is such a powerful vibe, but it being one-and-done(or two-and-done considering the fight against the phantom later, but that doesn't carry the same vibe), that it made me wish we could've gotten at least a EX of it, Vali can go back to FF6, fucker didn't need to be here.

Memory Misera was a solo instance fight that was given an 8-man extreme. I would absolutely be down for a Galool Ja Ja instance on that level.

Actually an Echo fuel’d instance fight that him in his youthful prime would be rad. SE please. Maybe make that a Chaotic or use that new Quantum system. He was Dawntrail's coolest character!

[RedLolly]

Definitely not alone!

I'm not a big fan of having to replay the second-half of Endwalker if I want to partake in the one-on-one fight Vs Zenos (which I LOVE) again!

The Venat duel, too. There is an HW instance that has us 1v1 Raubahn that I loved.

Honestly, we might be on to something.

I'd love for them to be easily replayable. Furthermore, I'd love uncapped versions to come out that are similar in difficulty to Bozja duels.

Nope, really wanted these myself. I can understand it may be difficult to code, though. But if it was ever possible, I'd love to see it. Those are the exact instances I wanted to do without going through NG+ up to them, too.

One compromise maybe is more checkpoints for NG+ that are closer to these instances? Then we wouldn't have to play through as much to get to them.

Arcade mode for solo instances please

Not personally, but I think this would be cool for people who do want to do this and it seems like it would be a great way to add replayability for that content and seems like it wouldn't be that hard to implement.

Adding a hard mode? That might take more work but still might be worthwhile. If it needed additional rewards besides personal achievement that might unbalance things in the game.

I would love to have a means of replaying solo duties without going through whole blocks of NG+

[Voidmage]

Replaying solo duties with different difficulties or challenges would be pretty neat.
Add a title for the highest difficulty similar to duels and those could become an interesting new challenge.

Even something in the vein of the masked carnival with solo duties in a roulette would be a nice challenge in-between.

Would probably get more players than Forked Failure. :3

I wish they'd use the Lightfeather Proving Ground or the Ul'dah coliseum for solo challenges.

I agree. Valingarmanda defnitely didn't live for the expectations. I thought it would play an essential role in the rite of succession, like being the final challenge and the entity that would bless the winner.

In fact, they also misled by showing the Alexandria's last boss, the Eliminator, in a way that made me think it would also have a pretty big role in the story.

They pulled this same stunt with Anima. Just showing off a really cool boss we assume is a big trial and it wasn't. Endwalker messed around with our expectations on this front, however.

SHB had an Lost City of Amdapor boss as a big bad in its trailer, and it wholly unrelated to that dungeon in the game outside of light themes. Even the gremlin's lines were actually things Emet-Selch would later taunt us with.
