Renta and I have posted this on JP side as well and people like it there also; they have to consider something like this in the game... would give lots of people reason to play this game and come back (if they like this kind of system that is)

Even if they already posted in this thread, REMIND THE DEV TEAM AGAIN REPS!

Well, i plan on keeping this thread alive for as long as it takes, ^^

Thing is, I would LOVE to see it in-game, but it needs to become a full-screen interactive experience as well as letting you keep your chat-box available to see. I watched some videos of Parley and it's a pathetic excuse for an interactive game. I've never played it but nothing about it made me go ":o oooooo", especially since it took up barely any space on your screen.

Replace parley with triple triad.

A card game similar to tetramaster and triple triad would be a wonderful minigame addition to FFXIV. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE IN GAME. I can't stress that enough.

I really think though, when SE has the time they could develop an awesome system. Like say if its tetra or triple, we get a new armor slot called deck. Thats where you equip the cards you want active for playing the game with npcs and players. The cards in the deck can effect your stats for normal gameplay and you could pick a card to give you some sort of special buff every so often or an ability.

They could really make a fun minigame that has use too!

I wonder if town-specific mini games like they had in Kingdom Hearts II would work.

I dunno what kind of games would be suitable for an MMO, but it may give players an incentive to check out the other towns. In the end it's probably too impractical.

If they're gonna take anything from Kingodm Hearts, though, I'd prefer it be the Coliseum, by far.

I wonder what the reason is why Tetra Master was never an in-game thing for FF11.

You know I honestly thought it may have been a server issue at first, but now I think it was implementation at that time. But as far as they've come in development of many things (pankration even though it died, parley, chocobo racing) this shows me that they're definitely able on the implementation side now.

Lore/accessibility/programming/UI. I think they've learned a lot to use prior knowledge to make something like this good :)

another yes for triple triad here. being able to see chat log and other basic UI while playing would be nice, but other wise make it full screen and as involving as VIII's was to play. Though obviously updated for XIV.

keepin' this topic alive. I hope they notice.

Come on DEVs, need Triple Triad/Tetra Master!! also make Parley more strategic!!

You know... I largely disliked triple triad and tetra master in ff8 and 9... but in ffxiv I could see it working really well. Just make sure that our card inventory doesn't eat into our actual inventory. =)

LOL that would be hell if they made cards into actual inventory, they have to be smart enough to make it secondary like how gil and token works

They should rework Parley to be more like a variant of chess/shougi. I mean it already kinda is with a bit of Connect Four tossed in, but maybe add a little more depth to it, and definitely make it a bit faster.

TRIPLE TRIAD YES PLEEEASE!

Absolutely my favorite mini game ever. I have every single card in FF8! @w@

Here are some ideas for having this in game:

Queen of Cards makes a comeback!: It would be fun to quest around and have to duel specific people to make other people pop, like the Queen of Cards in FF8. Great way to obtain those rare cards or collectable ones.

There should be several ways to obtain cards!: Drops from mobs, NPC sells starter packs, quest/leve rewards, dueling NPCs/players, or even giving us a "Card" ability/potion that can change a monster into a card like FF8 had.

Card Class?: To make the system more complex they can make playing Triple Triad its own DoL class. Equip your card holder in your main hand and add your cards to your pouch to begin playing! You level up by playing NPCs and other players. Could even tie in with a "Shepherds" class and have the ability to transform monsters into cards.


I don't care how its implemented just please let us have Triple Triad!

+1 here.

I think by adding card games it would help keep people occupied and engross in 14. I used to play card games in rl therefore i can understand the joy that card games brings, it would be even better if SE can manage to come up with a system which enable us to construct out own deck and battle it out with others in some sort of areana place. Furthermore by implementing card games, people would have more options for things to do in-game when waiting for event etc-dungeon instead of going to the usual squat and craft routine.

I like this idea

Glad this thread got necro'd.

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.

I agree.

I can see why SE would be reluctant to do gambling between players though, it can cause some animosity between less mature players.

That being said, I wouldn't mind giving it a go PVP. Vs NPC could be good enough I suppose.

Add this into the achievements too and an FF8 'Had this card'-esque menu.

This could be awesome, I would quest/grind/farm my ass off to get good cards to play with (sad I know lol). You could have tournaments like in FFXI... err what was that place called where you did your own pet mobs vs mobs ... hmmm...

Magic: The Gathering: Final Fantasy Edition!

Just a idea but what if FFXIV had its own sport? FFX had Bliz Ball.

Soccer might be fun. Have the ball be a Bomb or a Coblyn or something, and we use our weaponskills to "kick" it around.

It worked pretty well in that PSN game Fat Princess.

the main issue with this game is that when you get back from work tired and frustrated, and you want to relax and have some fun, and you log in and take localleve and start crafting and fail 3 time in a row, you get more frustrated and you ALT-TAB, and close your PC.

I liked the idea of drawing the essence of monsters into the their card that you owned to slowly increase its potency. (At least up to a certain cap for each card.) That could create an incentive to spend time in other regions. Or even, to gain the Conjurer's Guild card, you play against some of the NPCs in the Conjurer's Guild. All sorts of incentives could be added to draw people to different areas.

Triple Triad !

A couple of more likes and the first post will hit 100! This game definitely needs more in-game distractions and mini-games like a card game would be perfect. Linkshells or various parts of the community could hold tournaments, people could just play together casually, people would spend a lot of time just gathering up cards. Aside from development time there's no other downside to adding something like this.

Triple Triad or something similar for sure! I didn't really enjoy Tetra Master.

What if they replaced Parley with one of these card games? I would be very much into that!

They could replace parley with just about anything, Parley is such a horrible game.

Heck, I'll take even Connect Four.

I already mentioned this but it didnt get much feedback even though its a good idea.


Compass direction for Harvesting Locations on the mini map when using Havresting Abilitys.

Its easyer and faster then reading yams & directions.

Did anyone play the collectable card game in the first Xenosaga? I think I spent more hours on that than I did actually playing through the story. (I would have bought real cards for that game if they were available and I had someone to play with) Sometimes the mini games turn out to be more fun than the game that hosts them. I'd love to see something like triple triad in FFXIV. The possibilities for integration are nearly endless and people love to collect things. This is even better than some of the fluff other MMOs have to collect, because you can use the cards to compete directly with NPCs or other players.

The first post isn't over 100 likes yet, wtf guys? This is obviously more important than the whining about raise requirements and death penalties that's going on. We NEED a card game in FFXIV.

We just need any type of mini-game in FFXIV.

Although of course a certain card game that may involve Triple Triading would probably be a fine choice.

Just a few more likes, people!

True any good mini-game would do it but I feel card games especially have an unparalleled amount of gameplay value to them. What with the collection of cards, building of decks and of course playing with others there's an untold number of hours of gameplay there depending on how deep it is. I mean hell look at Magic the Gathering, that's still going quite strong these days.

Well, to be fair the first post isn't exactly about just a card game. It's about a variety of "suggestions to improve the game".

Yes but it does have them bolded plus I figure if the initial post gets sufficient attention then they're more likely to look at the whole thing. I mean we already know we'll be able to ride on things other than chocobos which is mentioned in the first post. Also 100+ likes is hard to ignore on any post and this one pretty much turned into the unofficial "we want a card game" thread.

If I can find enough information maybe I'll make a "Ultimate Tripple Triad" thread so we can focus on that idea solely in the post.

I'm pretty sure they are aware. There was a post on a JPN side a while back about how they want to hear more mini-game-related suggestions, but that they won't realistically be able to start development on them until the main game overhauls are complete.

Considering the lack of focus of first post, and the fact that the OP is MIA from the forums, and that the third most (my post) was the first serious outline of actual implementation of Triple Triad itself, I had considered just making a "triple triad only" thread, like the one I had made on the Japanese side, but was worried that it might be kinda redundant.

Meh, that's why I didn't make one myself. This thread has pretty much become the triple triad thread anyways.
