lol, same picture. Funny guy; you may need some glasses. Same ideas showing up as if they were new in your brand new thread, leading to unfortunate repetition of discussions.

I just hope the casino has hookers and qiqirns. They both like the klink-klink

I guess keeping with Eorzean Lore, games like the basketball hoops would probably not fit in very well, but as far as mini-games go (lots of suggestions for those) i would love to have some casual events like riding along a ski-like lift that would let you see the gold saucer in all its glory or maybe even a Ferris Wheel to enjoy the sights, and of course when night falls, fireworks must be a part of it, i must say the Gold Saucer on FF7 was my favorite part of the game!~

I would like to see a russian roulette game ala the deer hunter.

loser deletes their character

Blitzball - Blitzball - Blitzball

Snowboarding and card games and chocobo races...and rides with tifa....wait...leave that last part out O.o

good idea ^^

Was I alone in enjoying Parley? I vaguely recalling Yoshi saying Parley might return in the Golden Saucer and I was really looking forward to that!

I think airships should play more of a role in the game.... Airship casinos! or air battles? airship racing?

Also, a card game of some sort NEEDS to be implemented. That is what I thought the levecards were in the hype to 1.0 release and I remember that was one of the most disappointing revelations when I realized that a collector card game was not implemented and would not be implemented...

Maybe a game like triple triad that uses levequest cards to play the card game. The cards strength and the level of the levequest it unlocks could be proportional. Rare cards could activate rare quests (and highly rewarding). Players would need to balance their deck selection because playing rare cards would mean having a strong deck, but it would also mean risking the loss of a rare quest... just some thought..

Necro post i know but better than making a new thread.

So i had a thought about the Gold Saucer, in FF7 the Hotel is Horror themed and there are various Moogle related parts to the Gold Saucer. Namely the entrance (where the gondola enters the goldsaucer) is a moogle with his mouth open. The moogle arcade machine and Cloud just sort of assumes that Cait Sith is a worker there (a cat machine riding a moogle machine)

Well King Moggle Mog and his crew were halloween themed (or the music was anyway) and the moogles have become more 'helpful' now that they work as postmogs and such. So perhaps it's because King Moggle Mog turned a new leaf, maybe he created/owns the Gold Saucer. Where you can fight him and his crew as a part of the battle arena.

I can see a sport being interesting provided there's content finder for participants, maybe it can use the PvP stats as part of its system, without the dying of course.

Blitz ball, well if they did put it in... It would probably be some time after release. Think of the animations.

Well, since this has already been necro'ed, I rewatched some videos of the original Golden Saucer since it's been quite a while since I last played it.

If they can swing the Battle and Chocobo Racing events, that would be great. Battles could simply be BCNMs, pit your talent and those of your friends against a team of monsters. Win rare items, prizes, or points. I have no idea how player-controlled Chocobo Racing would work, but betting on a spread like any normal horse race would work.

Other than that, lots of little games to suck in our gil, along with bright and gaudy colors and displays.

Chocobo racing to have a pvp style ranking system would be ideal, even if the only head to head is in the form of the race.

That said, if they could incorporate alternate racing challenges like a chocobo hot & cold competition, I would be totally game for the added variety. ^^

As if this game wasn't addicting enough. The Saucer is going to live up to its name. I'll disappear into it one day, and won't be seen again until a few days later, naked and gil-less in the middle of Thanalan with no idea what happened to me in between.

Later on I'll discover a crazy tattoo of a cactuar on my ass...

And a Torama in the bathroom at your house.

I agree with everything the OP has posted there, including the quotations. I think it would be great to have a casino with a little of everything - more things to play and kill time on, more ways to get rewards for your wasted time, and the more options for people to enjoy, the better. People. Love. Options.

Yea, gold plated maybe.

I want Chocobo races. Not just some tacked on, BS chocobo races.
Fully realized races that are actually fun and player controller.

An Arena where you can test your might against mobs.
I would hope they get harder and harder as you beat them
and that multiples would be included at higher difficulties.

PRIZES!

I think PvP gambling using remade games that are actually coherent but transformed into FF versions would spark a lot of interest. It would bring into the game a whole new kind of player - the gambler. I can easily see people spending all their time in FFXIV at the tables. If SE makes gambling PvE and makes it based on some lame game they've concocted it'll be a failure compared to what it might have been. Take things like Black Jack, Texas Hold 'Em, Five Card Stud, etc, give them an FF make over, and make them PvP. Golden Saucer would be a huge success. Huge.

And no small time betting limits. If people can make more gil farming marmot squirrels than gambling against other players in a CASINO the place will be empty.

Edit: Oh, and add a PvP gladiator arena where people can place bets on the winners. Golden Saucer champions would emerge out of real players and it would be epic.

this guy wants what i want, also blackjack and a lotto<think someone mentioned something similar>

card game.

and some catchy music.

I'm hoping any card game they come up with won't be your standard blackjack, Texas hold 'em fare. But something more inventive and representative of a FF game.
