Hello! :)
Yes for sure, Normal FFA is like the basic items. I'd like to play sometimes with Basic Items in SkyWars. I think it would be a good return for FFA to have it back because I sometimes see people that they miss Normal FFA.
I think there would be no need for a new Elytra Map. I think 2 is enough. I think the map Flowers will be really populair for the Normal FFA and why? I see Flowers as one of the most populair maps for in FFA, I think the map was too populair and I think it's still.
