According to Yoshida, the development team was tasked with creating at least three minigame attractions for this version of the Gold Saucer. +info related.
What could be Gold Saucer in terms of FFXIV? A new fully zone? Perhaps an instanced area where we have to go through a special vehicle, just like in FF7? The best place to allow GS would be in Ul'dah.
-Card Game: Could be something like Triple Triad? Don't think that it will be as complex as Triple Triad was, but would be nice to collect cards.
-Race game: It's kinda obvious that would be a chocobo racing (which else could it be?). Would be nice if is more complex/depth than minigame allowed on FF7 Gold Saucer.
-Snowboarding game: WoW, Just WOW. Just want to see a Lalafell on a table!
A theme park inside a theme park game lol! Since last Christmas we don't heard anymore. I hope 2.3 patch continue being the date for Gold Saucer.
Gold Saucer: Still a thing on patch 2.3?

Second half might be trailers, leviathan battle and minor tweaks as 2.1 letter was. Now please, go and never return to this post if you don't want to talk about Gold Saucer, you'r being rude for no reason.Quote:

The feel I get from FFXIV's Golden Saucer would be that it's a casino, plain and simple. That'd mean:
Card Game: There's no way Triple Triad or Tetra Master would be the card game of choice, as both are collectible card games that have no place in a casino setting. They'll either put in well-known real-life card games (Hold 'em Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat, etc.) or add in card games exclusive to Final Fantasy (Chronobind or another made-up card game that uses a standard deck of playing cards).
Race Game: I have a theory chocobo racing of any kind will either be "bets only" or completely excluded until patch 2.4, when the Chocobo Stables will be released. Having actual chocobo racing at this stage where every chocobo is literally the same just seems silly and pointless.
Snowboarding: This was mentioned and I am interested in seeing how it develops. -

Why not just buy these games for cheap or play them online?

Not sure why but when I think about Gold Saucer in Eorzea I imagine it in the Sagolii Desert.
Anyhow in terms of games, it will be interesting to see what we get. We know Chocobo Racing will be in almost one hundred percent, but everything else is up for debate. I'm sure they'll look to give us some of the more old school mini games, with a mixture of new stuff.
Of course as OP stated, there hasn't been any recent news. So who knows if Gold Saucer is even still planned. I certainly hope so! -

Sure - Enjoy your weekly lockout on games. Played your card game? Lockout for a week! Played Snowboarding? Lockout!
Honestly, if they do card stuff hopefully it's like FFXI's Tetra Master, where you can buy/sell/trade cards and the like to stimulate the economy. -
02-01-2014, 11:48 AMTeganLaronI'd like this as long as the card game is strictly a side quest, no links to the story or actual progress of the game. As I'm sure they'd have cards drop from enemies which some may find harder to obtain than others (Titan.)Quote:

If they add cards to the game, I want Card Mod (from FFVIII).

I hope they have a special event where if you only speak to one of the npc's from the walking sands and ignore the rest you get to go on a date with them ;)

Pretty sure the "Gold Saucer" is going to be in Ul'Dah. Right next to the entrance of the Pugilist guild is a NPC standing behind a booth and the area is called Platinum Mirage. If you talk to that NPC, he/she (can't remember gender of NPC) specifically talks about a casino area that you 'don't have the bankroll to be a part of yet'. I didn't play 1.0, so unless this is something different from 1.0 that hasn't been implemented into ARR yet, I'm not sure. If not, I would feel safe expecting this to be where you would enter the Casino.
Unless they expand the area of Ul'dah, this would almost certainly be instanced.
Please look forward to it! -

Just look at the dice on that signboard, gambler zone? Woah :O! And what about those signs up there pointing out areas? That feels right now!...
