Until thats fixed... why waste time adding content to a game that won't get many more subscribers than it has now?

There are a lot of things wrong, and yes, the battle system is one of those things. But you know what? Another glaring problem with this game is a lack of content. Triple Triad is content. It will add solo content. It will add multiplayer content. It will add PvP content and PvE content and PvNPC content.

The general design is already set. All they would need to do is make graphics for the cards, which they could just do by taking a screenshot in a model viewer, and then set values for all the cards. Relatively speaking, it wouldn't be that hard to implement, and the benefits would be very significant. Those players who don't like the battle content or the crafting content would have another avenue for entertainment that involves lots of player interaction.

It could even make players who don't like to battle, want to battle in order to rank up a DoW high enough so that they can take on high rank monsters to farm cards.

I am all for Triple Triad!

Triple Triad, ohh i likes it, gogo :P

But how can we get it?
Bumping this thread alone isnt gonna get enough attention and we need to know how many people would be in favour.
Yoshi-P is being very open just now but theres no way to know if he will see this.
We can always hope they started working on it 5 years ago and that they will ninja it in lol.

Maybe bumping wont work, but were allowed to try? :D was dreaming about it all night and i really want triple triad or something in game. (lol, and when were on it, blitzball in limsa lominsa :p)

Please refer to my original thread about adding a card game:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...895-CARD-GAME!

I liked them both, but Tetra master is more in-depth and upgraded. The online version was even better than FF9. It was fun leveling cards. In an MMO we could get them from mobs, quests & dueling.

Um... wow. I got three pages in, laughing hysterically, before I realized you guys were serious.

I guess maybe it's okay, content is content. As long as it doesn't stretch the already frenzied dev team too thin. I'd rather they be working on fixing the core game issues.

I think that Tetra Master was too complicated for its own good. Most people I know prefer Triple Triad because it was easier to play and more consistent. In Tetra Master, the card values change, and are displayed in some weird hexadecimal format.

Gameplay that is "simple yet deep" is what should be the goal here, in my opinion. Tetra Master is "confusing and deep".

It seems complex at first but it's actually very simple.

CARD STATISTICS

Each card has a combination of four letters and numbers on it. These numbers and letters display the strength of the card, and determine which card wins in a card battle.

The first number is the card's attack power in hexadecimal, from 0 to E, with E being the highest.

The second statistic is the card's attack type. P is Physical, M is Magical, X attacks the lowest defense number, and A attacks the lowest number on the card.

The third number is the card's physical defense in hexadecimal. The fourth number is the card's magical defense in hexadecimal.

When two cards battle, the just-placed card attacks using the attack number (the first stat on the card) and the attack type (the second stat on the card). The just-played card's attack number is compared to the corresponding defense number on the enemy card. The card with the highest number usually wins, although there is a small chance that a weaker card can still beat a stronger card.

You can raise the statistics on cards by playing with certain cards over and over and winning numerous Tetra Master games with them.

However in the Online version i can't recall the Hexadecimal part. I remember seeing the values of everything on the cards. Anytime i refer to Tetra Master, i mean the Online version.

Yea, in this video it just shows the exact card stats on the left.

Edit: Triple Triad video for reference:

Wait, what the hell is this? I could barely understand the OP. ._. What is a Triple Triad or Tera Master? Three Chinese Mafia members? A fish owner? e_e;

Well, you can see from the two videos how much more complicated Tetra Master is with all the numbers and directions. While waiting around for a party member to come back from a bathroom break, or waiting for a NM to pop, you can't be bogged down in matches that take 5 minutes or more to complete. Triple Triad matches go a lot faster and the system is pretty obvious for first time players to understand.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Triple_Triad

One of the best mini games in a Final Fantasy game.

I agree it is more complicated and takes longer.

FF14 seems to be going instanced though and "camping" won't be a norm. There's also no reason why a current state of the game couldn't be saved if someone d/c or left, until they return (or quit all together and not lose any cards).

I could also see players abusing force d/c if they are about to lose. Perhaps they would need to make the game reward you "Credits" instead of player cards. These "credits" could be used at NPC's for purchasing booster packs.

Either way, i'd be happy with either card game, but more if it were a brand new game.

yeah I always wondered why Tetra master wasnt inside FFXI, it would been so awsome.. hope they make it for FFXIV

TETRA MASTER!!!! It's like triple triad but so much better to play.

I support tetra-mastaer. way better than triple triad imo!

Not really. DC = you lose. Simple as that.

I dont care what kind of mini-game/card-game like thing they add. as long as its fun and you can collect stuff *-* (like yu-gi-oh or magic card game)
x3 that would be totally awesome~

i'm all for a card game, but come on TETRA MASTER people. TETRA. MASTER.

IN GAME TRIPLE triAD! I SECOND ThAT MOTION CARDS COULD DROP FROM MOBS NMS AND BOSSES1

Eww guys fuck that. Tetra Master had its run for 8 years and failed miserably. Triple Triad is the superior game in terms of complexity, fun value, and time of average match.

I think a larger, multi player parlay type game would be enjoyable!

Wtf... theres people out there that like Parley...? I mean I knew people defended this game but seriously what? I'm shocked really.

Just like in FF8 where you can run around and challenge NPCs. Also let me learn "Monster Card" so I can farm cards.

Let me put an icon above my head that says I want to take on all challengers.

Let anyone who wants to observe a match in progress.

Let there be two types of PvP matches just like in online mode in Street Fighter 4: Normal Match: which is like a friendly game, and Ranked Match, which lets people battle for rank points.

Create a server wide leaderboard to see who is the best card master

Hold tournaments for cool prizes.

Let participants of matches bet (items, gil, cards, etc) over the outcome of the match.

Put in a whole crapload of cards, and watch the OCD playerbase swarm in.

Keep the rules SIMPLE yet allow for high level play. Triple Triad was good at this. Tetra Master was a clusterfark of confusing hexadecimel letters and numbers.

This would add in solo content, as well as PvP content at the same time, give people more things to do, and add loads of entertainment value to this game.

Part of the excitement would be to venture out to the boonies and find NPC who have rare cards and try to beat them.

100k new subscriptions guaranteed.

This is probably one of the nest suggestions I have seen in a long time. This would make it different, and would be downright awesome. It would also provide nearly endless content.

Also Parley COULD be very good if fleshed out better, it feels incomplete.

I enjoy parley as well.

Tripple Triad omg yes plz! D:

I enjoy parley, I think its a shame you can't do it with more npcs similar to triple triad on ff8

I wonder why an in game card game like Triple Triad was never thought of during development or did they really think they had something with Parley?
I actually liked Parley when it clicked in my brain.

Parley would be interesting if you could do it at will with anyone. As it stands now you use it on a handful of NPCs and it's completely optional. Still more in favor of Tetra Master/Triple Triad.

I really liked your triple triad idea, that and maybe it's because I am a super nerd but the thought of playing a TCG in an MMO really gets my nerd juices followin. Oh man, Magic: The Gathering - Triple Triad baby!!

parley would be better if its so much faster... its really really slow and killing my patience lol, doing parley with 5 npcs felt more like a chore.

would be better also if SE release REAL card...so they have another $$ sink for us,,,,, and dont forget to add some loot cards!

I'd rather they not release a real pay$ card game. Even if you could carry the cards over into the game, I don't have that kind of money to be spending on all that and I love card games lol.

A card game of sorts in the game is all I'd want. Something to do in spare time, have fun with friends and even set up tournaments.

Square could use the money :p

But I'd rather not have purchasable real life cards being transferable to the game.

Triple Triad !!!!! YEAH !!!

YOSHI - P hope everyone is Ok over there take as much time as you need, but on return TRIPLE TRIAD PLEASE !!! :)

A card game would be a really fun minigame. You could set up tournaments with your LS and have gil prizes etc :P A bit like BG's poker night where you win gil.

Yes please!

A Trading Card Game inside the game like Triple Triad !!!! Screw Tetra Master

Lol. :)

I suggested Triple Triad a couple of times. *shrug*

Yes, I love it, and I think it would be so easy to impliment and use for rewards and things. ^^
