Solving a ancient problem with Normal Dungeon Difficulty

[Valence]

Buffing mob stats yes, but cranking up mechanical speed? Good luck with a game that's never been designed to handle this (and that would also make me stay the fuck away from those modes unlike the first one).

Still, I'm curious about that since their new statement of intent seems to be generating difficulty levels for everyone and not just specific audiences with every content they come up with. Dungeons so far have only been aimed at the baseline story level.

Mechanics to me have become a formality than presenting actual test of skill, and its been that way for a very long time. Most of it has been a really long joke, and I don't understand their existence at this point aside from their use in things like extreme and savage which is actually put together properly. Overworld monster mechanics have the same problem which is just a formality, it worked at lvl 50 and lvl 60 but by the time you reach stormblood you should have a good understanding of dodging mechanics.

If its not your bag that's fine, but I see a system that has been neglected. Also It would just be optional things to do, I'm not forcing baseline skill players to be pitted into it, but it would be beneficial to the players that would want to up their game a bit making them better players.

The servers can handle it, they already do fast mechanical speed already in many battles. If what I'm suggesting is enough to choke their servers that would be something.
