XIV could easily copy it wholesale and it would be awesome. It's not even a difficult thing to implement (aside from having to create an Al Zhabi-esque zone for any city they'd want to do it in but that could be done with assets they already have) and wouldn't require much balancing, which we know the devs are bad at/allergic to. Just have a metric fuckton of dragons and shit rush the special zone in Ishgard once in a while with the objective of not losing X object situated in the city. It would be interesting (and therefore xiv team will never do it) if it was something that made the overworld mobs stronger if they managed to acquire it.
I played on Siren, the server that famously never lost a single Beseiged for many years. But it was close once, like really close. The doors to the Candesence were open and the Lamia and Trolls were simultaneously attacking the blockade of bodies players set up in front of the doors. We had to fight super hard to win that time. It was an adrenaline rush, and it's something I'll never forget because it felt so epic and fun, and our server pride, our winning streak was at stake. Everyone banded together in solidarity to defend the Candesence but also something more important than that.
XIV could use some content like that.
