[Suggestions] What would you like to see at Gold Saucer?

[Wanzzo]

Hi

what improvements would you like to see in Gold Saucer?

What new mini games, changes to mini games, prizes, new attractions and ideas to make the place even more attractive?

I start!

They could put the snowboard minigame that exists in Final Fantasy VII (classic) using Coerthas' graphics.

In addition, they could create the "Haunting Mansion" that also exists in FFVII containing a kind of a 'scarry' mini dungeon and a fictional boss using toy weapons.

What do you think about it?

I'd prefer them to touch existing content tbh
1) chocobo racing and verminion especially

I was talking about this yesterday but it's funny because technically Verminion is constantly updated as every time they add a new minion into the game they also give it verminion stats lol

primary thing I'd like to see for both are more courses/arenas
chocobo flight courses
verminion arenas with rng effects (like a volcano or a swamp biome for example with dmg/status pools that can appear on the ground)

2) refined this thought in an old thread but additional features for Fashion Report
so one thing that personally bothers me as this game goes further and further along is that holding on to accessories for glamour has become increasingly more cumbersome since we can't have All Classes accessories anymore cuz ppl be lazy like dat and do anything they can to cheese ilvl requirements

I know Yoshi-P cares about the accessory drip irl and I wish it could be easier in game

So what I wanted was for Kasumi to get one replica version of all the accessory appearances in the game that are currently role restricted (include crafter/gatherer stuff)
like for example: Replica Islewolf Ring, Replica Diaspore Ring, Replica Lazurite Ring, Replica Smilodonskin Ring, etc
the replicas would be level 1 and all classes

right now Fashion Report Points are a hidden stat tracked on our characters that unlocks more items in her shop
I'd make this number a currency instead and we use the currency to unlock more items in her stock and to purchase individual items as well

Some basic multiplayer card games such as Blackjack and "Ala Mhigo Hold'em Poker." Let people freely gamble their MGP.

Chess would be a good addition. The existence of chess pieces in the setting means it would fit rather easily.

Other than that? I'd definitely like to see Blitzball.

They need an event where you can bet on Boxing, MMA, choco racing and FEMROE mud wrestling.

1) this reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics with the geomancer (using the environment as a source of power). It would be GREAT for Verminions. And for chocobo's racing, I think another minigame using chocobos could be a new thing as well. I mean, a minigame that ressembles fall guys game but using our chocobos, in some way (like cartoon versions of them wusing the same colors we gave them and some costumizable outfits) running towards obstacles to reach the finish line first. xD

2) totally agree! They should do it in a way we get those replicas maybe as rewards inside there as well. Like weekly things or just a normal regular market listing.

3) I never knew about this score system '-' They could use it for a lot of buyable stuff, for sure!

Oh I love the "poker game" in Red Dead 2! Yep, should be a thing more interesting than majhong u.u

Absolutely what I was thinking of. That's technically Texas Hold'em Poker. I also can't stand Majhong, and I tried for hours to understand it. Unfortunately I lack the Ph.D required to play it.

I think blitzball is more complicated since we don't have 3D combat system and the interactions in 3D spaces (like underwater) are so imprecise when we need to interact with especific objects there or when we are flying.

However, if they want to put blitzball, they definitely could do it!
in FFX I confess I don't like it much though...

More GATEs that take existing game mechanics and turn them up to eleven, like Slice borrowing from Hashmal's towers.

I think Leviathan's mechanic of rushing and tilting the arena could make for a fun "stay on as long as you can" challenge.
