Dear SE, to kill some time...

Triple Triad is garbage.

Tetra Master is the real deal.

That is all.

RPG Site: I actually kept my subscription to Tetra Master Online for probably a good year after my main FF11 subscription expired.
Yoshida: [Laughs] The problem with Card games and things like that is what you really need is - it can't be something you do by yourself, it has to be player battles. If that's the case, do you just play to play? What about rewards?

Those people want to play for rewards - a lot of people will be like, 'Why should I spend my time playing this mini-game when I can go into this dungeon and get some sweet gear?'

But then, on the other hand, if there's rewards and there's two players - one might lose on purpose so the other can win and get the rewards, which is obviously cheating... so, how do you cover these type of problems?

Conceiving and building a system that covers these kinds of bases is what is taking a long time with creating mini-games - as well as coming up with something perfect.

Yoshida thinks people won't play Tetra Master because there is no reward, but I think the reward in a game where you take your opponents cards are self-evident.

The whole cheating thing sounds like an actual problem, though. They would definitely need to find a way to stop people from purposely losing to level up their friend's tetra master cards or vice-versa.

They should combat this by making the reward for winning NOT be taking someone else's cards from them. Maybe if you win you should just win an expansion pack or something.

To me this sounds like a bad idea because everyone would end up with a stacked deck from constantly leveling their cards without losing them. Granted, if the cards were tradable outside of a game people could still stack decks.

It's a tricky situation... no doubt.

agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure Yoshi and the team have actually reached a solution to the cheating and stuff, like making player games just win/lose cards, an then official contests with random selected players where you can win prizes.
