Replayability and rewatchability for Solo Instances

My thoughts drifted back to this thread this morning - I was watching a streamer reaction video of the solo instance Vs Zenos at the edge of the universe and again found myself wishing I could simply click something in-game and play it myself.

And again, I know it is possible to replay via New Game+ but... as much as I adore Endwalker, I don't really want to play through the entire second-half of it with replaying that one fight as my primary motivation.

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.

That model happens to be the same they use for the sin eater that kills Tesleen, Forgiven Dissonance, which we later get to kill in Holminster Switch. Not a major boss, but one that did have some emotional impact if that scene got a reaction out of you.
