Put Tetra Master In FFXI - Drop PlayOnline

[Freebytes]

If there ever was an issue within FFXI that should be fixed, it is the long and difficult process to simply log in and play the game. For PC users, the billing system should be handled entirely through the SquareEnix account web site. When opening FFXI, I can understand a login process, but this should take us straight to FFXI. There are no other games. No one plays Tetra Master. We should log straight into our account.

Tetra Master, on the other hand, should be within FFXI. You should be able to walk up to any player in a town and have 'Play TM' as an option. If the other person accepts, the game should appear within FFXI itself. People can trade cards, and certain cards should drop from NMs. NPCs can buy and sell simple cards, and new card shops can be in each town.

one of the reasons I like ffxi > ffxiv

ffxi/pol allows FL offline messaging and such, I say this makes a degrade to the game.

ffxiv tried it and i dont like it.

Playonline is necessary. It is annoying though. Best/simplest solution? Add a "Start FFXI up upon logging in" option to our profiles.

Tetra master is just plain gone, and playonline cannot be dropped.

The only card game I'd play in FFXI would be Triple Triad. (can't stand Tetra Master)

I'd like the whole challenge random NPCs in towns feature from FF8.
Main storyline characters would grant some of the stronger cards.

There could be a method of taking Soul Plates and turning them into cards too
(Cards would have to be in a separate inventory)
Perhaps Cards could be transformed to and from Soul Plates, so it would become a new way to store soul plates.
Corsairs could potentially use these cards in new Job Abilities.
Puppetmasters could potentially use these cards as AI changers for their automatons. (new equip slot on Automaton)

Lots of potential here.

I like the idea of Corsairs using the cards. I keep forgetting the difference between Tetra Master and Triple Triad. I remember one was basically "This card will always win." and the other one was random where "This card will roll a number between 1 and the number on the card." or something like that. I loved those card games, though, and I think they should be in FFXI. They could even use the existing cards in the game from the Cardigan mobs.

Don't get why ppl love TT so much. It's just a minigame, and it isn't that fancy or elaborate or anything.

Well nobody plays Tetra Master because SE dropped the service and it is no longer supported.
