If this has been posted before I apologize, I couldn't see it anywhere.
I have always liked the Battle Area in the golden saucer from FF7 and I thought I post my idea's here for input or whatever.
Firstly I was thinking of 2 party types:
Solo Event.
Would be much like the original FF7 arena where you face a mob or mobs. And after defeating you get the option of progressing to the next. You then get inflicted with a random status effect (As in the original, it could benefit or hinder your progress)
Party Event.
Much like above, but instead you face NM type mobs varying from NM`s like Valkurm Emperor to ground kings.
With a maximum of 10 encounters per event. Arena points are awarded based on how many encounters you successfully complete.
You spend points at an NPC like other Assault events and this could possibly be a second source of Alexandrite.
Not sure of what items you can obtain from this other than Alexandrite at the moment I just thought it would be a fun event to have.
I know it all sounds so much like Nyzul Isle, because in a way it kind of is, this is what I think Nyzul should have been.
Flame or approve at your leisure, I just wanted to gauge everyone's reaction.
