Triple Triad

[Darksword]

I'd love if there were some kind of craftable item you could use on a mob, that killing it would give you a small chance to receive the mob's card. Like Quetzacoatl's Card ability, but FFXIV-ified. It could work on any mob, including bosses. Make it like a 5% success rate.

Want a Twintania card? Buy a stack of 99 for 2k apiece and start grinding T5!

A timesink, a gilsink, and the best FF minigame ever conceived in one package.

Ragnarok Online. Just need to make them untradable (doubt SE will), and not require an item (50/50 for SEs choice)

I'm pretty sure in FFVIII you could rechallenge the npc and get your card back, either at that moment or coming back later when you have better cards.

Not only that but you could even mod the cards and then win them back again in disc 4.

I like that they're basing the card game on Triple Triad and not Tetra Master. Hated the randomness in that one.

Wish they had made a new game like they originally said instead of just reusing an older one.

Go away you negative Nancy. There is nothing wrong with old stuff being reused. See what happened with Street Fighter 3? Now Street Fighter 4 bring back the old favorites while introducing new things that's how it is done.

Tetra Master was a better card game, imo. I hope the FFXIV version is more like that.

Edit: ugh, I think I was too sleepy when I posted this. I got them mixed up. Triple Triad, the one from FF8, is definitely the better one.

The cards better not be craftable 3 star items.

If they did make the cards craftable it'd ruin the whole collectability of them game.

Tetra Master was a better card game, imo. I hope the FFXIV version is more like that.

I don't know, I've played it in VIII, IX and PlayOnline... they were all the same.

What do you guys think about the methods of obtaining cards & play presented here?

I really think a fusion of both Triple Triad & Tetra Master not based in painful RNG would be best.

I agree that a Ragnarok Online system would be nice. By this I mean a rare chance of on kill the monster drops it's card.

I would love for this to be a huge timesink in this game.

I agree, I'm very happy but hope its not a direct copy.

would also love to equip certain cards for effects, like maybe a deck slot

Personally I would like it but it will never happen. People are up in arms over 1% atma drop rate. Imagine what would happen if they made it 0.02% drop rate like mvp cards from RO. Took me 6 months to farm 2x abysmal knight card for my champion but it was worth it in the end.
