In all honesty, do you find Gold Saucer funny ?

[Clansman2016]

I really do like the Gold Saucer, I often find myself in that place while waiting on dungeon queues to pop. The "hit the button" arcade games could use some improvements, as they are essentially all the same, but Chocobo Racing, Triple Triad and Lords of Verminion are all a lot of fun. I would love to see them add more unique arcade games though, even some old school video games like Pac-Man, Space invaders, Asteroids would be awesome

Skinchange one I don't do, I can never really see the differences, normally just activate, pick any npc and see if it's right. Gets it over quickest.

It was part of a filler patch since a lot of people took a break to that time. Gold Saucer looked great on paper and sounded interesting, moment it went live it was just plain boring. Their attempt to make it a bit more popular was adding well we all know, Lord of Verminions. We all know how that turned out but apparently we will see a remake of the gold saucer as well as the diadem. Please look forward to it? No thx.

Sort of. I like almost all of the things to do there, but they seem to fall into one of two categories of problems. There are quick games that were fun the first few times but not something to really stick around for (GATEs and mini-games), and then there are things that are actually still pretty fun every time I do them but the developers decided the only way to participate is to do them 90,000 times to force them to stop being fun (chocobo races/breeding, Triple Triad, and Lord of Verminion).

In general it's like a lot of the rest of the game - amazing when it's new, but not compelling enough to keep repeating for months or years.

Do hope they add some more games, and make them a bit more random. Don't even have to be that in-depth, sometimes simple stuff is better (mini-cactpot being a good example).

I wouldn't mind seeing something like the old "rock paper scissors" fighter from VII. Maybe have the 5 people from the card place as the fighters, and you go through them trying to fight King Elmer at the end

I hate that place, I find it boring, the music is horrendous, there is nothing interesting, the place is so overcrowded that is hard to even see your toes, I go there now and then for the cactus pot lottery, but other then that .. no nothing much in there. I dont play card games although I keep collecting them....in short

Do I like the Gold saucer ? NO and therefore I find no fun in it

The music is apparently from some other FF game... I also find it pretty bad. I love the design of it, I somewhat enjoy Triple Triad. I mostly only go there also for the Mini Cactpot. I find all of the mini games extremely boring. I absolutely hate the mini pet battles... I was hoping for pokemon not starcraft

Could do with a magitek dance club, a decent place to show your glams and dance! (with lots of lights and smoke machines!)

The games are fun but the lack of good rewards is, imho the real reason behind the lack of players going there :/

I agree with this completely.

Also, I like chocobo racing, I think it's fun, but there needs to be global queue among all servers. Maybe they could add two different queues, one where you'd get matched with NPCs only, and one that would get you matched with at least one player from any other server. That way, people that "only want to farm MGP" can go easy mode against NPCs and people who want to challenge other jockeys can do it too. Atm I'm completely isolated in R300 and I have MGP to buy 3 Fenrir horns, so I'm understandably not bothering much lately...
Oh and maybe leaderboards too, to spice things up.

The problem I see too is that all these minigames are tied exclusively to glamour, maybe if we could convert cards into stuff, even if it wasn't very relevant stuff but it was something... or they added more mounts to trade for MGP, and these mounts weren't untradable? I don't know why the obsession with keeping Gold Saucer out of any way to make gil. It's not like the economy of the servers isn't already destroyed and we don't have people with billions of gil owning 10 houses with 10 different alts...so what does it matter...

I find the original Gold Saucer to be more fun and as someone mentioned in this thread the inside design of it is pretty boring that's subjective though I guess.
FFVII's Gold Saucer rooms all had a unique theme and look to them that made that place even more memorable.
