Give us the Golden Saucer!

[PizzaTheHut]

I've always wanted this since like FFXI release. Looking at it now it seems all that is been added is Battle area > more equipment > rinse repeat.

How bout something very large for fun entertainment like the Saucer? :p

They tried Pankration and racing but those were a bust.

[Lazytaichou]

Well, racing was okay until the AH prices for selling your prizes won off of Chocobucks tanked. I know what we could do at the very least -- put all of those Sunbreeze Festival mini-games together and have them travel throughout Vana'diel. Kinda like a traveling carnival in real life. Then add new stuff as time went on.

They could add a cool airship that takes you to the Saucer. :cool:

Could be a ton of new mini games like that battle one I can't remember much of from FF7 I think. :o

A mini-game zone?, sound like a good idea, but the problem comes when players get bored of it, like pankration and choco raising, choco racing, ballista, brener, etc, etc.

Yes but maybe they add ultimate equips to it! Casino elements to lose and win big moolah!

[Wenceslao]

well as i said sound like a good idea, but Se should think of really astonishing games to keeping players enjoying it ^^

[Andevom]

If you're going to add a zone from previous FF games, I'd much rather there be a Phantom Forest -> Phantom Train zone.

i just miss Triple triad from FFVIII, lol, chocobo racing was fun until players stoped playing it T.T

[Fiarlia]

Horrible idea. This is not FFVII. Want Golden Saucer, go play FFVII.

[Wenceslao]

why? we have tetra master and it was from FFIX, really many players would like to play old games online, with his/her friends, if you just play in an old console you just have the option to play solo, and with FFXI you have the option of doing it with your friends

[Kimara]

What they should have done from the begining was put Tetra master INSIDE the game not outside of it. It would have been a big hit.

Something I've wanted for a long time too. People complain about aestetic / entertainment things in MMOs but honestly sometimes you don't want to just grind / skill up / aquire gear 24~7. It's nice to have an escape within an escape. Not a bad thing to have something that's just an enjoyable time waster in a game. Shouldn't always feel like work.

I'd like it to have it's own currency though :P buy useless little costumes and stuff just for the hell of it. There would be alot you could add to it as well. Battle arena, we already have chocobo racing, gambling (for small amounts of gil and or this area's currency), random minigames.

Think how fun it would be to take your ls mates out after a hard day of slaying baddies to sit down and play a game of blackjack. lol

Yep, it could be a place to just seat and enjoy with your friends without the concerns of wiping, expecting to get some armors, or worrying about "hell they claimed the NM first", it could be a place to have plain fun.
