The Golden Saucer: What a huge amount of potential. Discuss! What are your ideas!

So a while ago I heard that Yoshi talked about adding the Gold Saucer to FFXIV. If this is true there is a HUGE amount of potential that could be added to FFXIV making it more unique than most if not all MMORPGS out there and add a HUGE amount of content to the game.

Chocobo Breeding/Racing
Adding Chocobo Breeding and Racing to FFXIV would give players something to do other than grind crafts and dungeons. I would argue that there would even be a huge audience willing to focus mainly on just this aspect of the game. Different colors of chocobo's, stats, attributes etc. would give your chocobo a more unique feel. Being able to race your chocobo at the Golden Saucer for prizes would also add something unique to the MMORPG experience. Much like FF7 players could also place bets on the races adding even more of a reason to earn gil and keep the economy healthy. If betting gil would be an issue then make it to where you can bet a unique currency specific to the Golden Saucer.

Colloseum
This could be a lot like it was in FF7 but instead of fighting random mobs you could allow us to fight the major VIllans, Kefka, Garland, Sephiroth, Sin, in each of the main single player FF titles. This would cater to our love of the FF franchise and keep the game exciting. That or why not allow us to fight teams such as Tera/Celes/Locke/Saibin, Cloud,Tifa,Vincent,Barret you get the point.

Tetra Master and Triple Triad
The card games could give players even more options to visit the Golden Saucer. Imagine card rooms in which you can go and challenge each other to a game. You could trade cards. Sell them on the AH. Earn them in tournaments etc. You could even add a gambling aspect to it for gil or just betting/losing cards like in the original games. How players could acquire cards could be through the card mod ability or earning them through fates? Lots of creative ways to tackle this.

Arcade
Why not have one. There are many mini games that could be added to the game, the sky is the limit. You could spend gil to earn Casino Currency to use to buy unique items only found in the Casino. Maybe make Casino Currency how you bet on races etc.

Point being is there is a ton of great content and possibilities that could be added into the game. It would keep the game from going stale and suffering from the age old problem of what to do after you are sick of grinding dungeons for gear.

Poker or something cuz i'd love to play against other ppl despite i suck at it.
Or some betting / gambling on chocobos when you are spectating a race.
Possibly anything will be more than welcome in my books.
