I would really like to see NM's make it into the game, I did enjoy camping them in FFXI and would like them to make an appearance. That said I could do without things like the brown or black belt items or Bloodsucker. I would like to see something in between what we had in 1.0 and FFXI, reasonable spawn timers even 21-24hr is fine fore the biggest ones but preferably something longer than 3min but not 12 hours for simple low level gear and drop rates better than 1% but not 100. Also, taking the lessons we learned from 11 and making most drops R/EX so they aren't swarmed with RMT.

I think that incorporating them into the FATE system could have some real nice possibilities, the ability to force level sync on people would stop high level characters from rolling low level NMs and would also allow the devs to make any/all NMs challenging and enjoyable by applying special restrictions, victory conditions or whatnot.
