(First I apologize if this is in the incorrect forum area)
I had 3 ideas for fun new GATE’s.
1) Gigi Says (or Ultros Say) Basically FFXIV version of Simon says. Can be hosted on main stage, and each round can go faster and faster. Where the line can be:
Gigi Says “Look Left!” (All players look left)
Gigi says “Jump three times!” (All players jump three times)
“Look behind you! ( Some players look behind) GIGI DIDN’T SAY!!! Then uses Water Cannon or BLM’s Flare to blast em off stage.
You can get more MGP the more rounds you survive until Finish.
2) Red Bomb, Green Bomb. Basically Red Light Green Light with the FFXIV Twist. Can be hosted on main stage or an instance of the Battle on the Big Bridge or Steps of Faith. A Magic Pot, or Gigi or whoever is at the finish line. And a Green Bomb jumps put of a Magic Pot, or a Red Bomb. Run to finish when Green Bomb is up, get Water Cannoned off the stage if the character is moving when Red Bomb Appears.
There can be field marks or checkpoints for MGP amounts that increase up to the finish
line.
3) Dance Dance Suzaku or Eorzean Hero. Basically Dance Dance Revolution or The Ishgardian Restoration Music Mini Game but with several different fantastic, and official music remixes that are available. (Not to mention great advertising for The Pulse or Primal albums!) Can be on Main Stage or a version of the Primal Attack phase in Suzaku’s Arena, or sweeping scapes of different zones, arena’s etc. A single song can be one GATE event.
For Dance Dance, players would face the directions, just like in Suzaku’s fight, but to the Pulse music and songs, and get more MGP as the song goes on, combo scores, and length of combos.
For Eorzean Hero, perform the actions of the Ishgardian Music Mini game to the Primals rock songs as the symbols appear on screen. More MGP for hitting the marks and combos.
If this is liked enough, it can even be a permanent Gold Saucer addition, added to the Verminion /Chocobo racing wing or another new Floor.
A music venue called “The Gold Orchestrion”
Where players can watch in game renditions of The Primals on a music stage, and play FFXIV Songs with the Ishgardian Music Mini or Suzaku Dance phase in 4 Difficulties: Normal, Hard, Extreme and Savage. Imagine Playing “Rise Up” (Savage), bringing a new meaning to Alexander (Savage)!
I hope you like these ideas!
