Blitzball!

[Texa]

Triple Triad is a fun time killer, the problem is that the tournaments are terribly terribly broken and there's no way to place in the top 3 without win-trading. There's all kinds of ways SE could fix that but they haven't bothered to do so.

I think Blitzball could be fun IF we can recruit pre-existing NPCs for our teams like in FF X and if the majority of the content for it isn't PvP.

Personally I found Blitzball dull in X and would rather not see it in XIV.

Triple Triad could be fixed by just disallowing people from entering tournaments that they've already won. For the sake of fairness they could add a separate tournament for 'winners only' with a high MGP reward as compensation. Not a perfect solution but it's clear win trading isn't going to be addressed and it's very tiresome to see the same few players exploiting win trading to win the majority of tournaments. Especially on a server like Balmung that already boasts a bloated population.

Personally I found Blitzball dull in X and would rather not see it in XIV.

Why would you prefer not to see it implemented just because you didn't enjoy it? It would very likely be completely optional and it's a fan favourite where mini-games in the franchise are concerned.

The only other well-loved mini games that haven't been implemented in XIV in some form or another are the snow boarding from VII, the motorcycle mini game from VII, and chocobo hot and cold from IX.

I'd say PvE monster arenas like in VI, VII, and X too but those are more side quests and the Palace of the dead kind of does that already.

Because I'm being selfish and hoping the next Gold Saucer addition is a minigame I do enjoy such as the Snowboarding or Battle Square games from VII.

Granted with Swimming coming in Stormblood and FFX costumes and minions coming from the fanfests there's a good chance we are getting Blitzball. Hopefully it won't fail like Verminion.
