Golden Saucer Needs More Multiplayer Games

[Garnix]

Agreed.
Mahjong is great but too complicated so you don't have instantaneous fun with it.
Simple cards and dice games would be nice.
Verminion and Chocobo racing are....not great and indeed need updates. Dare I say it, even full reworks. (Chocobo racing seasons/series would honestly be a good start to popularize the content). They should also simplify breeding and leveling up for the chocobo.

Also another thing to take into consideration for the Gold Saucer as a whole: MGP are worthless.
No matter how fun the minigames can be, if they don't improve the reward structure, it won't attract more players.
If they add one 300k MGP mount every 4 months (which they don't even do), it's clearly not enough. 300k MGP can pretty much be obtained in a month by simply doing fashion report every week and nothing else...

And speaking of rewards, I think people would flock to the Gold Saucer in droves if glamour fear from other FF games were put up as rewards in the Saucer. Glamour is the true end game, after all. Plus, also making certain pieces of gear locked behind dead/severely underrun content would be nice to get as a glamour for high amounts of MGP. The FF11 Bozjan armor and the Elemental armor from Eureka come to mind.

I'd rather have them revitalize Eureka than putting Eureka gear in the Gold Saucer to be honest.

That is true. Maybe it can be converted as a use for a restoration effort to rebuild the captial pf Bozja. Same with Eureka and rebuilding the Students of Baldician's home base. Adding gathering and creating in both would probably help in the revitalization of both content, too and plus give players an alternative way to earn exclusive items and gear from both content.
