So what would make Gold Saucer a hit?

[Hayward]

*Chocobo Races: I've never been much for gambling but this might be good if we could race our own birds and train them in our stables for that purpose.
*Hot & Cold: This was insanely fun in FFIX and I would hope the guys avoid the mistakes made in XI.
*Battle Square: A gauntlet-type battle would be interesting if the rewards are good.
*Shooting Coaster: This might work if Garlean aircraft can be fitted into the equation.

Ideas? Throw whatever you have at the wall and see what sticks.

Honestly all I care about is Triple Triad coming out...

Adding most of the minigames from FFVII's gold saucer would be great to me. Even incorporating the different squares would be cool.

chocobo racing and the card game not sucking. Anything on top of that would
be gravy

Chocobo racing was a joke in 11 I doubt it would catch on much here unless system rewards are worth it. I think Triple Triad will be the real winner from Golden Saucer. Pretty sure they mentioned they wanted to make it so you can play it outside the game like via an app or something like that.

Poker, that's all I'm hoping for.

[Riepah]

Having no cash shop aspect.

[BigPapaSmurf]

Cash Shop staying out of it.

Cash shop being a large part of it.

I just hope it has that distracting atmosphere like the one in ffvii. Late in that game you had the meteor looming above in the sky constantly reminding you of the perilous state of the world, but it wasn't something I'd tend to think about when I'm riding roller coasters in the speed square or throwing down in the battle square. That time you got to ride the gondola and see everyone having fun from up above was really nice, too. Aside from the actual mini games, which are numerous, there were also little quirky things here and there, like that creepy hotel, the museum, or the fortune telling machine. So for me, I think the atmosphere would be the biggest draw. I'm not asking for it to be the same, just that I appreciate the little details.
