Add Justice Monsters Five to the Gold Saucer Please! (and other FF arcade games)

[Azurymber]

Looked up the snowboarding game and I would be fully against that being put in as is. If you want the nostalgia hit, ff7 is available on a multitude of platforms right now. If they're going to put this in, I feel it needs to be updated in both graphics and functionality. Personally I do not want them wasting any dev time if the end result is something akin to the chocobo racing game and its poor gameplay.

For some of the mini games (like snowboarding) it would probably only take a few days for a single person to re-code the games. Short and small games are generally not code-intensive. And if you already have all the code, you're basically just re-writing things into a new language. If they can copy assets over then it goes even faster.

For something like Justice Monsters Five it might take a bit longer (especially if copying the mobile gacha/collection stuff). But again, all the code is essentially there, so you aren't creating something from scratch.

Rather than spend months working on gold-saucer events that people play for a week and never touch again (like the minion one), adding classic ff-arcade games that -were- successful would make sense. You already know people will like it and play it. And you don't have to build it from scratch.

The mobile version of Justice Monsters Five was so "successful" that it was shut down only a few months after its release.

I'd still say it may be worth bringing in if it's not too hard to port, but they're bound to want to look at why it didn't do well before.
