Gold Saucer: What are your expectations / wishes?

[Kallera]

Blitzball - Blitzball - Blitzball

I can see a sport being interesting provided there's content finder for participants, maybe it can use the PvP stats as part of its system, without the dying of course.

Blitz ball, well if they did put it in... It would probably be some time after release. Think of the animations.

Well, since this has already been necro'ed, I rewatched some videos of the original Golden Saucer since it's been quite a while since I last played it.

If they can swing the Battle and Chocobo Racing events, that would be great. Battles could simply be BCNMs, pit your talent and those of your friends against a team of monsters. Win rare items, prizes, or points. I have no idea how player-controlled Chocobo Racing would work, but betting on a spread like any normal horse race would work.

Other than that, lots of little games to suck in our gil, along with bright and gaudy colors and displays.

I want demand a kart racing minigame.

Super Chocobo Racing!

Chocobo racing to have a pvp style ranking system would be ideal, even if the only head to head is in the form of the race.

That said, if they could incorporate alternate racing challenges like a chocobo hot & cold competition, I would be totally game for the added variety. ^^

As if this game wasn't addicting enough. The Saucer is going to live up to its name. I'll disappear into it one day, and won't be seen again until a few days later, naked and gil-less in the middle of Thanalan with no idea what happened to me in between.

Later on I'll discover a crazy tattoo of a cactuar on my ass...

And a Torama in the bathroom at your house.

I agree with everything the OP has posted there, including the quotations. I think it would be great to have a casino with a little of everything - more things to play and kill time on, more ways to get rewards for your wasted time, and the more options for people to enjoy, the better. People. Love. Options.

Yea, gold plated maybe.

I want Chocobo races. Not just some tacked on, BS chocobo races.
Fully realized races that are actually fun and player controller.

An Arena where you can test your might against mobs.
I would hope they get harder and harder as you beat them
and that multiples would be included at higher difficulties.

PRIZES!

1. A culture shock. Vegas. Bright lights, technology, an oasis of electricity and corruption and gil.

2. Remake a REAL and competitive card game into an FF version, like Texas Hold 'Em, for PvP gambling. Casual tables as well as tables for high rollers. I think PvP gambling using remade games that are actually coherent but transformed into FF versions would spark a lot of interest. It would bring into the game a whole new kind of player - the gambler. I can easily see people spending all their time in FFXIV at the tables. If SE makes gambling PvE and makes it based on some lame game they've concocted it'll be a failure compared to what it might have been. Take things like Black Jack, Texas Hold 'Em, Five Card Stud, etc, give them an FF make over, and make them PvP. Golden Saucer would be a huge success. Huge.

And no small time betting limits. If people can make more gil farming marmot squirrels than gambling against other players in a CASINO the place will be empty.

Edit: Oh, and add a PvP gladiator arena where people can place bets on the winners. Golden Saucer champions would emerge out of real players and it would be epic.

this guy wants what i want, also blackjack and a lotto<think someone mentioned something similar>
