Gold saucer mini games.

Arm-wrestling machine, claw machine, basketball game...

If possible, the motorcycle, "Fighting Game", and submarine mini-games would be fun too.

A dancing mini-game

I don't think a PvP arena is needed though, as we already have the Wolves Den and Frontlines for that.

This is really what im hoping for as well, though i dont think it would work as a solo player or else all the content would be too eazy, but i bet they could use the same battle Colosseum fights but have it be 4 man or maybe even 8 man content, with the handicap roulette still there.

Fort Condor type of mini-game would be nice :D

Actually, I could see it working well with solo. Just make it so that there's a solo tier, a light group tier, and a full group tier. The last few encounters in the solo tier would be stuff equivalent to peisteskin maps or something, where it's perfectly possible to beat if you're geared and skilled enough. Similarly, the Light and Full group tiers would start featuring dungeon-end-boss level mechanics in the last few bouts.

But that's what the handicaps would be for, just like FFVII - each 'round' you advance triggers a random dice roll that will then place a debuff on your character, with the higher rounds having far harsher debuffs (like, 'broken weapon' where your weapon's condition would immediately drop to 0% and thus be completely useless (but only for the battle arena - it would revert to it's previous condition after leaving the arena), 'broken Soul Crystal', where it de-equips your Job crystal and locks it, thus forcing you to only use Class abilities, 'Level 10 Down' where your class level drops ten levels like lvl sync, or 'Item Level 100 Down' where your average item level would drop 100 levels!), but the upside would be the harsher the penalty, the greater the reward.

So it would be perfect for all those players complaining the game is 'too easy' - eight rounds in Gold Saucer's Battle Arena might make them think otherwise. ;) And it should go without saying that for extra spice, the enemies would not have scripted attacks, but attacks that have a degree of random chance, making it even more challenging. Of course it would require a lot of tweaking to get just the right balance between challenge and fun, but I can really see this being a popular part of the game. Please Yoshi! Please make this a reality! :D

I'd be stoked if in the game's lore, we got linkshell feedback on wolf den matches, and "potential for wins" per side.... a place to bet on the outcomes of the matches?! Just me though. I needs mah gambling!

Well i get how it would be done, i just mean any solo content would have to be designed around every single class being able to ..well solo the content, which means you cant have anything that hits too hard because some classes cant heal at all, or not enough anyway so im afraid that the best we could hope for is the equivalent to Fate bosses..which are already pretty easy to deal with and while i get that a handicap roulette would be a good way to make them difficult, i think most of the things they would add would just make the fights impossible not hard..

hmm its hard to say, i hope we do get a Colosseum that can be enjoyed by anyone, looking forward too it regardless!

Honestly, I wish they would just implement tried and true and FUN minigames. None of the typical half-arsed stuff that we often see in the FF games.

Stuff like bejeweled, card/casino games, checkers/chess, tower defence, anything one might find in an 80s arcade. Stuff that is copyright free/open source. Really a good variety of minigames that I would WANT to play, in game, with in game friends.

I'm expecting? Something along the lines of what we've gotten in FFXI or that stupid negotiation minigame that somehow made it back in this game.
