CARD GAME (or Tetra Master)!

Did they actually do away with Tetra Master? I never even noticed if so. Now had it been Triple Triad... <3

Oh god I love Triple Triad! I used to spend way more time than was healthy playing that in FFVIII.

Yes, i meant in the game. I figured why get rid of what they already have. They could expand upon it without wasted effort (provided lolPS2 limitations etc).

Ya Triple Triad was great too. I, personally, enjoyed Tetra more since it was an upgraded version of it + your cards level up (which is awesome). I still have Triple Triad card-game IRL laying around somewhere.

I think the game needs more mini-games in general that can be made relevant . I liked Pankration and all that but sometimes I feel guilty doing it, like I am wasting my time or something.

Umm, they HAD Tetra Master as a separate POL game, and just got rid of it.

I guess it would have been played more if it was ingame actually. I'd love not having to logout to play, chatting with my LS, seeking for a party (that could have happanes years ago, like before level sync was introduced and you waited like 8+ hours for a pt depending on job and level), watching shouts in port jeuno or waiting for the next windsday/-weather to continue your trial.
Instead of logging out and in somewhere complete different.
I think it would be used this way.
Just to contribute to that quote,
I still think the PS2limitation-Problem is true so I cannot really hope for it

I enjoyed TetraMaster, but the need to log out to play it limited its playability as a sidegame to FFXI.

It's unfortunate that it was shut down, but not surprising. Without people playing it - and more importantly paying for it - the TetraMaster server was just a drain on SE's financial resources that could no longer justify its existence.

Yes, they announced its impending demise, along with the end of POL PLUS services, back in fall 2010, with some three months notice. They actually shut down TetraMaster (and POL PLUS) as of January 1, 2011.

Even though I never saw a lot of people on, Tetra Master was a really good on-the-side game. I played a lot and felt kinda sad to have it removed from PlayOnline.

Someone can explain to me how adding a card game ingame has a relation with ps2 limitation ?

Something like storage in ps2 hdd?

[Unaisis]

i love Tetra master ; ; Damn Troll ps2 players!!!! :P

I wonder if SE could just make FF11 compatible(and optimized) with the Ps3 without much hassle.
