Give me ancient temples, palaces/castles, pyramids, towers, you name it, breathe some more history into Eorzea! Along with this, I pretty much agree with everything the OP said.
I am 100% behind this idea. Even XI had King Ranperre's Tomb and many other ancient structures. Another way to add some of this stuff would be to add extra bottom areas to every dungeon currently in game, with some sort of boss battle/NM specific to that dungeon.

Either way, old ruin exploration, ancient towers (maybe with small mechanical touches) among other things are integral to Final Fantasy.
