What new Golden Saucer mini games would you like to see?

I had a few idea's that might work in this game.

Like a mini racing track with remote control car's that people can challenge each other in the race.

Having a dart board game play against people, wack a moogle maybe.

Maybe a maze game you have to complete with in a time limit each maze is random and different versus each other.

I don't know anyone have other idea's?

A slot machine game? Not sure if we already have one, and it would pretty simple to implement (or at least I think it would). Not as fun as a mini racing track, but I'm bad at ideas. :P

I would love a slot machine lol

Dont think we can have a slot machine game due to Japanese gambling laws...
may be wrong though don't quote me

I've said it before and I'll say it again - FFVII's Battle Arena, where you challenge a successive set of enemies. The longer you last, the more handicaps will add up, but the greater the reward. It would be perfect for those who say the game is 'too easy' - 8 rounds in a 'Insanity' level Battle Arena facing down something like Ultima Weapon solo with a broken weapon and armour, levels cut down to 30, ilvl cut down to 50, HP halved, and transformed into a frog and/or chicken would very quickly make them change their tune. ;)

Blitzball.

If it the rewards aren't too great and there are no leaderboards or whatnot, then it wouldn't be a problem.

This sounds more like a major game like TT, Virminion, or Chocobo Racing than a mini-game though.

Chocobo Hot n Cold.

Snowboarding :D

Though I would love more physical games. Vase off is just a waiting game, not really hard and skinchange just annoys the hell out of me yet those are the only two I ever seem to see active when I drop in at X:15 mark. Cliffhanger and er..other one doesn't come to mind at the moment, I love those but they also don't change. I'd love one suspended over a LONG runway with the platforms moving side to side, up and down, hazards....kinda like Ninja Warrior in a way I guess? Just a running gauntlet that makes us use sprint, jumping, timing to complete the course.

the submarine game

Mog House.

Angry Chocobos

A stupid game where you can create an horrible character with all options from all races available. An Elezen with a lala head and a miqote tail !
Totaly useless ^^

Mini Games
- snowboarding game
- game similar to the boardgame Battleship, but thematically using airships.
- whack-a-moogle
- Old West themed shooting booth using cactuars.

GATES
- Red Light/Green Light: utilizes the circular platform used for the Lord of the Dance and the Wind Blows GATES. All players start at the edge of the circle. In the center is a large Ahriman. At the start of the fight, everyone is inflicted with heavy so they move very slowly. The players then have to move from the starting points on the outer edge to the center of the platform under the Ahriman to win/complete the GATE. During this, the Ahriman will do random patterns of conal aoes and sometimes an aoe covering the entire platform that can be negated by facing away from the Ahriman and not moving. If a player gets hits by an aoe and is not stopped and facing away, they will get petrified for a short time making it harder to get to the center before the GATE times out.

The motorcycle game and minion fights

Blitzball!

Not sure if it's a mini-game but it'd be fun to have a rollercoaster or some type of thing you ride in with other people. It would go around Gold Saucer and let you see everyone and everything going on in and outside of Gold Saucer from a different perspective.

Gobwalker Tank Battles.

...past Square games like Ehrgeiz or Einhander. Gold Saucer is supposed to be a time sink for players and what better way to kill time than to put PS1 classics.

I totally want Sphere Break :D

Fishing competitions with prizes and/or MGP given for largest catch, most caught, widest variety and so on. Where a fishermans knowledge of weather, bait and impact of day/night cycles etc would come into play and that knowledge would give contestants the biggest advantage. Player levels, ilvls and gear plus bait supplied would all be limited to what the specific competitions goal is. So game itself would supply perhaps a generic chibi fisherman avatar, all equipment pre-determined and equipped but with a wide selection of bait to choose from within an instanced fishing location per competition and combined with day/night/weather rules or goals to achieve.

1. A randomly generated turn based battle akin to Final Fantasy Tactics using a battlefield only as big as say one of the event squares.

2. A turn based (retro) version of iconic fights

Battle arena.

That would be pretty cool, put up blocks to hide behind and teams have a life bar on the gobwalker can take so many hits before their team loses that would be awesome.

That would fit perfectly and could be a replacement for slot machines.

They had something similar in FFXI one event I remember, you shoot and if you hit like the pixies you would lose or something like that but it was pretty good based on X triangle square and circle.

I would actually love to see a number of simple rides or attractions that are just there for fun/ambiance and don't cost anything to ride.

Examples of such that I would love to see.
- Carousel
- Ferris Wheel
- Indoor "Lake" with a dock where you can get on paddle boats (function like mounts and can be rode tandem). Maybe even have a fake beach area where you can hang out.
- Bumper Cars. Essentially would work like mounts that do a knockback effect when they run into another car. May need an overall slower movement speed for the cars due to server performance with the whole collision detection/knockback thing.

Oh yeah like the FF7 ride that would be cool I mean it would be something worth doing without gaining anything.

something just fun

Every class can solo though. All the classes (except tanks) have about the same survivability anyway and they can even fix that by only allowing classes (no jobs) in the arena. Or you know, adjust the handicaps and mobs for different classes. Although it's probably not needed.

You know I wouldn't mind a call back to the original FF games. I have zero idea how it would work but having teams of 3v3 or such participate in an old style turn based fight. One action per person, I suppose like with PvP have new skills for each class that are only used in this event or branch of the Gold Saucer with some only some skills being allowed for use. Perhaps in the range of fairness both teams have to pick a target and action within 15-30sec per turn.

Example
Ninja instead of having the 3 hit combo (thus 3 turns) have a skill that would be the primary attack. Though they may use stealth to dodge one attack or until next turn.
White mage would not have benediction but Aero would still be a "Poison" in such that it damages the target each turn.
Paladins cover would still act the same but only for say limited strikes of the person.

Just throwing the idea out, I'm like half asleep now as I am writing this but wanted to at least get it out xD

How about this?

Blitzball!

Though I think Limsa would be a better location for a Blitzball stadium, the Gold Saucer is a good place too.

They could make arenas specific to the classes/jobs. Sort of like how classes have their own hunting log.

I'll second the idea of there being a battleship mini game.

I'd also support blitzball!
