    why there are so many content in this game that is so painful to play?

    always the same thing with boring RNG. Atma, CT/ST/WoD, Triple Triad, Lottery, all different content but designed by the same concept.

    Triple Triad is fun but playing with the same NPC for 50+ matches is not fun, and they use the same set of cards in every matches.

    people are enjoying it right now, they'll play it for 2-3 days before realize that it's boring.
    I'm not entirely sure that it's meant to be played with such intensity over a short period of time in order to farm cards, I think the intention was for it to be an aside to the main game that people can pick up and put down as they go. Honestly if people play 50+ matches against 1 NPC every day for 2-3 days and get bored, it serves them bloody well right.

    PS. one definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result...at which point I would refer you to your 1st sentence.

    Precisely. If OP feels the need to grind out as many triple triad cards in a single day as you can and then complain about the 'grind' that's their own fault for turning something meant to be inherently casual into it.

    If the RNG is as awful as I heard, then grinding matches is the only way to collect cards. If you play casually, it'll take months to get a single card. An atma like RNG should not be tied to a mini-game.

    I believe the RNG is mostly based on how rare the TT card is.

    Ultros TT card from Dragon Neck drops plenty of times due to being only 2 stars but anything three star and higher have low drop rates.

    FATES are fun. TT will get tedious after you've done 1000 of those too.

    Guys, there was a lot of rng in ff8 with triple triad. You could be reloading a save for hours to get a card you wanted. Just be fucking happy it exists now.

    Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is pretty much the whole idea of RNG.

    Does this mean that RNG = insanity?

    I don't think I'm going to argue with that!
