So... How about a Golden Saucer?

[Jennestia]

I never really understood why they are not implementing this??? I can program mini games, I'm sure they can do much better. A nice place for mini games is always good, but many mini games scattered around the world even better. But think, a Golden Saucer with a fee to enter (good Gil sink)

Everyone and their dog want a card game, yet, they don't even think about it.... just think, an in game card game, where you walk to a guy and issue a challenge ; ;

A Golden Saucer problem is, it'll put all the games in one area... that's a no-no for an MMO. (although like Verecund said, maybe ppl will go to Gridania then :P)

Leonesaurus idea above me is full of win, only one minor fix (maybe you did mention it?) make the carnival mobile.... meaning every few days in a new area

I can program 30 content concepts in the span of 7 months. It's not about what can and can't be done, it's about priorities and what is needed, and XIV currently doesn't need a 'theme park', it needs actual content and a lot of fixes.

While I agree wholeheartedly whit what you said, who said FFXIV doesn't need mini-games and a fun area??? IT IS content. and it is more fun than crafting to be honest. And I only said that I can program it to show that it's indeed easy. and for a company with SEs caliber, it's more than easy.

If I'm not mistaken, content was #1 thing that people wanted. Again, who said a theme park is not content? Maybe they just need our voice (of wanting) to get the whip cracking

Loving this Gold Saucer idea.

This IS more content. It's new challenges/fun for players that we currently don't have. Lets be honest, the Firefarie event got old fast. The Dungeons got old fast.

The idea of a PvE vs PvE arena appeals to most players.

And lets be honest. Who doesn't have a little bit of gil to sink for fun.
