I would enjoy some nice gear locked behind an extremely difficult boss that appears randomly or timed like old hnm except it can appear in any zone in the game including cities and will aggressively attack and kill afk people!

It's SE, they'll be like
Dev 1: What should we do for Empyrean armor +2/+3?
Dev 2: We noticed nobody has been in Incursion in 5 forevers
Dev 1: Brilliant! Feet will be Lil-Jon Grand Coffers x20
*repeat this for all gear*
+3 will be Gramk-Droog coffers
Dev 1: Also, Bodies +3 will be Gramk-Droog coffer x50!
Dev 2: Make it 100
Dev 1: GREAT NEWS ADVENTURERS!!

Ah sorry, but the latest number is 10,000. So make that 10,000 coffers.

You're probably being sarcastic here, but I actually think they might be insane enough to go exactly this route. Outside of popping T2 Reisenjima NMs, absolutely nobody wastes their time in Incursion, and it is a failure on all fronts. I imagine a good portion of the population has no idea what Incursion is, what it is used for, and if they even require clears for it. It's 100% skippable and not one returning player ever said "hey, let me go into Incursion for something".
Just looking at the BG list, watch them repurpose the cape spread to each piece as you mentioned:
Quote:
Ymmr-Ulvid Gloomlight (MNK, THF, DRK, BST capes)
Ignor-Mnt Stealthslayer (WAR, PLD, DNC, RUNcapes)
Durs-Vike Deathspell (BLM, RDM, BRD, COR, GEOcapes)
Tryl-Wuj Wingrip (RNG, SAM, NIN, DRGcapes)
Liij-Vok Waaxwane (WHM, SMN, BLU, PUP, SCHcapes)
Brash Gramk-Droog (Chance at all capes, Content lvl 123-127 only)
Ignor-Mnt Stealthslayer (WAR, PLD, DNC, RUN
Durs-Vike Deathspell (BLM, RDM, BRD, COR, GEO
Tryl-Wuj Wingrip (RNG, SAM, NIN, DRG
Liij-Vok Waaxwane (WHM, SMN, BLU, PUP, SCH
Brash Gramk-Droog (Chance at all capes, Content lvl 123-127 only)

Wait, now they're gonna combine both of our ideas, but make them like Etched Memories from Vaginary.
MNK
Feet: 10 Ymmr Coffers
Legs: 15 Ymmr Coffers
etc etc
Gramk Droog still being the one that will be used for all +3s

This is so wrong, the dev team is like half that size. He bounces ideas off the Janitor/Roomba.

I just asked that RNG finally get some MAB gear that doesn't revolve around harassing oseem. I know the MAB on BLM empy is going to be absolutely disgusting. I'm ready.
As comical as all of this sounds, start stockpiling previously useless ***you never thought you'd need:
Salvage Plans
Incursion Coffers
Abyssea Materials
Ancient Beastcoins
Apollyon/Temenos upgrade items
Lebondopt Wings
Because SE is gonna come back with a vengeance like "Hey, Plaited Cord...x10, Ebony Tree Lacquer x15, Phuabo Organ x20, Aern Organ x20" for +2/+3 job enhancements.

Any news on October monthly campaigns? Seems odd we have not seen it yet.
"Hey Kupo! I request 58 Garrison wins to proceed. Kupo!"

I'm waiting for the day that SE releases some new content but in order to access it, you're forced to reset your job from master back to lv.1 and its x100 exp required to level it back up

I'm sure it's just nostalgia to a degree, but I remember enjoying Garrisons. Something about wave based content that was challenging to coordinate in the early days was fun, specially since it'd be years before they would add any other wave based content. Rewards were just *** though. :(

Garrison is just another one of those XI events that were amazing in concept but really didn't get it together in execution/rewards.
Let Ambu be easy! Bring back the poroggo!

How's this for nostalgia?
Complete all Eco-Warrior quests 10 times!
Complete all 3 Escort quests 20 times!
Complete a Garrison battle at every outpost 5 times!
Fish up a "Rusty Cap" in Rabao and then synthesize it into a "Plain Cap" 10 times!
If you want nostalgia, how about SE reverts Padded Cap/Chocobo Blinker/Perpetual Hourglass vendor sales back for a day. See how much gil we can generate within 24 hours.
Bring back relic Lance TP returns for a day.

They are late announcing the next log-in campaign and monthly campaigns, eh?
I mean, I hope it's this, because I can duo VD all day every day with my wife and just let lsmates leech. But that wouldn't be a very melee-friendly month again.
Speaking of that, I took my mule last Sunday night to weekly seal run in a V2 shout and there were a lot of geared/master melee DDs there scrounging points. It was like a melee ghetto, really. Sad.

They've done Poroggos twice already, and others haven't gone through a full cycle, so I doubt it would be frogs.
My guess is it would be Sahagin + Gulool JaJa(MijinGakure) fight, or return of the Dullahan. There's also a trolls, Gigas, and a Moogle(lol) fight that I don't believe have seen version 2.0 with higher HP. I forget if we've gotten version 2 of Quadavs and Orcs, also.

They said future Volume 1s will be repeats, starting 6 months ago.
Have we really gotten a remake of Mamool Ja? I must have missed the first iteration because I do not recall that at all. Damn time flies.

I thought frog is melee month.
They changed frog back on the second iteration. He's 100% immune (i think) to gravity, so the kite/quick zerg method isn't going to like the first one did. He uses that silly hammer if you have rolls, songs, or geomancy buffs on. The newer frog version was either pet SMN spam or PUP OD/widdle down method. Hammer will kill anyone within 30 of the target, but pets and summons can destroy it with little fear of death.
The alternative strat with melee involves not using songs/rolls/bubbles, but then he gains access to "Providence", which will summon all of his frog friends and it's just a rotten mess. Melee setup for frog is really bad unless you use (OMG WAIT FOR IT) - A Monk+Subtle Blow/Mew setup to inhibit TP feed.

You can still do it with THFs and DNCs, just like you could before, with someone Mewing the TP away.
