Question about Triple Triad and the cards

I just have one small question about Triple Triad and wonder...

Will the cards take up space in your inventory? Or has the devs prepared a special inventory just for the cards? Because if they do take space in your inventory, it is going to be rather hard to get 'em all, especially once future patches come out and they start increasing the total number of unique cards in the game, as more and more types of enemies, NPCs, important characters, primals, raid bosses, and the like are added to the game.

If they do make Triple Triad have it's own inventory, I'm kinda assuming it would work like minions and mounts, with 2 exceptions. The cards probably will be able to be taken away from you (as in you lose a game and said card is taken from you) Secondly, if you can have more than 1 of each card, I'm assuming, it might be "hard capped" as in once you reach the max you can have for that same card, that's it, you can only have that 1 stack of, say, bomb cards.

Actually, I do have 1 more question. I wonder if the cards will be tradeable to other players, aside from losing them to other players lol.

I'd assume we'd get a separate window similar to Minions, Mounts and PvP.

I think we will have the same rules like FF8. Lose/win a card is okay for me. (But I'm scare of the rule "Win all" in FF8)

Yeah I'd guess we get a separate window as Recaldy says. Be pretty silly not to! Can't believe how hyped I am about Triple Triad. Gaaaah I needs it nau.

Actually the "win all" rule from FF8 would make things a bit more interesting;) combine that with random/open/same/same plus/combo

In the trailer, I also noticed that the cards shown had a single star on it. I wonder if instead of categories, if the cards will, perhaps, have star levels instead, or perhaps a mix of categories and star level.

Unless you win, the "Win All" will be interesting. :( I also hate Random lol.

And yeah, I think those star may resemble card level categories, instead of Level 1, 2, 3, etc.

p/s: At least with this, I won't feel bored like these days ingame :D I can't wait to go challenge everyone in Eorzea.

Even the Queen of Cards?

I want a win/trade cards mechanic, but I definitely want a log of some sort to show what cards you've had in your collection already, even if you've lost them...and some sort of achievement for collecting x unique cards, maybe with a mini-Setzer minion or something. If there's no log, some people will be afraid to USE their good cards, just in case they lose them, and that's just no fun for anyone.

Also, if there are cards that drop from bosses, they ought to be tradeable but unique; how annoying would it be to go up against someone using an entire hand of Titan?

Actually, there could be a game rule, for certain areas, or something called "Unique"
I hope, like in FF8, that different regions, or such will have different game rules, or even gold saucer itself. As for gold saucer, they could make it where the rules would change on a daily basis or something like that.

I may be wrong so take this with a grain of salt but I'm quite sure it was said somewhere that we cam gain cards if we win but won't lose cards if we lose. I'm 90% sure this was said.

Yes!

Everyone forgot one thing, will they use the old Triple Triad song in FF8, or will we see another remade version by Soken, or just new song?

Whatever happens I hope they do not put cards on the cash shop. That would definitely be pay to win...

They said they weren't doing that thanks to some kind of gambling blah blah.

Second, they also said "winning cards from other players" isn't going to happen. fanfest translations If i recall.

Well it kind of makes sense that you shouldn't lose cards to other players since A) you know there'd be massive drama over it and B) it'd be far too easy for friends and FCs to rig games with each other so that everyone can get the best cards.

I also hope there's an option to auto-decline card duels from other players (or regulate card battles in the Gold Saucer) cause I sure as hell don't need spam from bored people wanting to fight me over cards,

This could be handled in a similar way to the Sightseeing Log (i.e you don't see the entry until you've actually unlocked it by "seeing/experiencing" it, only with TT, you have a counter that lets you know how many of that card you have.

Please yes. I have no intention to play Triple Triad, but I may do the quest to unlock if one exists because quest bubbles on my map irritate me. I hated not having auto-deny duels in WoW.

Way back when I used to play, there was an addon for that. It was hilarious, I'd keep getting these dudes running up trying to duel, and the little flagpole would appear already floating up and fading out. More than a few would spam it and start bitching at me for not fighting them. The same addon also had the handy features of auto-cancelling trades, guild invites, pt invites, and so on.

More on topic: Screw the Random rule. I went out of my way every time I played through VIII to stamp that rule out and get it un-learned by all the NPCs. That said, we will need some kind of draw mechanic for this so people don't just slap out their A/A/A/A scorched earth cards every time.

I'm really interested to see how they go about this in PvP settings. In FF8, if I recall correctly, some cards were rather difficult to win from certain NPCs, but it was ok since you could just reload your last save (nobody would actually retry while letting the NPC take some of their best cards). Of course, many cards could only be obtained once, so losing one of those would be devastating and preventable. In an MMO setting and with other players I wonder if there will be such amazingly strong cards at all, and if so will collecting them be akin to acquiring EX primal crafting mats, etc? I'd imagine most strong cards will be 'unique' to prevent things getting too ridiculous, but there's room for a lot of powerful cards anyway. I also wonder what it will all amount to...

In FF8 you could eventually deconstruct (or something) cards into usable items/ materials, with unique cards often providing the only source for a particular item. That was, essentially, the entire point. What will it be here? I can hardly imagine SE making it such that desynthing cards grants you raid equipment, lol. There must be some motivation to playing Triple Triad, right? Or do you think it will just be for the fun of it..?

You need to beat this guy first if you want to be the king of cards :p

Strong cards means nothing with the Same/Plus/Combo rules. AAAA cards are easily countered...
Unless we won't have said rules...

I'm hoping it wont end up like Tetra Master.

I would love it if the Golden saucer had its own class as a form of ranking, kinda like the pvp stuffs. equip a deck and *poof* you are a gambler!
