    Card packs as challenge log rewards isn't a good idea. After a certain point, the packs become useless. It'd be much nicer to just get MGP from the logs. Also, no other challenge log gives items - what if your inv is full when you fulfill the challenge log condition?

    I agree. It should be MGP only to stick with challenge log tradition. Sure, cards can be exchanged for MGP. But why not just give the MGP? It's true that no other challenge log entry rewards something that is not a numerical statistic such as gil, experience, wolf marks, etc. That's what achievements are for.

    Agreed, not to mention that card packs take up precious inventory space and, if your inventory is full, then you don't get the reward. Also, for folks like me, Bronze Packs are pretty much worthless and don't contain any cards that I don't already have. Silver has a few (Kobold, Lahabrea, Minfilia, etc.), Gold has two very important ones (Warrior of Light and Zidane Tribal), but yeah. After a time, packs just become worthless.

    MGP doesn't take up inventory space (though it really should be on the Currency tab of the Character screen), so that would be ideal.

    ^ This. Not only should they be on that tab, but you should be able to switch the gil HUD display to MGP by clicking on it. Currently, clicking on your gil count switches between gil and GC seals. It would be extremely nice to have MGP there as well, since when I'm in the Gold Saucer, gil is meaningless and MGP takes its place. Tomestones and AS are more multi-dimensional forms of currency - when you're farming those, you're getting more than just a single currency, so having them only be on the currency tab makes sense since you have to go there to see them all anyway. But MGP is a single-dimensional currency - when you're farming MGP, you're only farming MGP.

    ... this is off topic, I should make a separate post requesting this.

    Well if that happens, it's your own fault for not checking your inv before.

    Imagine: you have one inv space free (because space is really tight in this game, that's totally plausible). You're playing vs the Indolent Imperial. You win, fulfilling a challenge that puts a card pack in your inventory, and you see the message: "Unable to obtain Gaius von Baelsar card" because your inventory is now full.

    The tables. They would be flipped.
