    I like the idea behind parley, but it currently suffers from the same problem that so much of the game has - it's terribly unfinished in its current state. As it is, luck plays far too much of a factor. There should be abilities that both participants can use that alter the playing field, for better or worse.

    Parley can be nice and is optional on alot of the missions but a new card game would be better^^ This time make it playable in game and have cards as not only drops but make bluemage for instance, whenever it is implemented, to have "Card" ability to we can transform mobs into cards Collecting Cards and a nice game of triad would be a great, unique, fun, FF centric mmo activity that would suck alot of people in. Seen lots of threads already about this but just saying there is alot more potential than there is with parley! Should Focus on a new in-game Triad first

    Parley is easy x.x;;

    You rarely Parley >.>

    The Parley NPC gives no rewards making it worthless unless you ABSOLUTELY need a Parley fix.

    Maybe increase the difficulty.
    Make it more event-full.
    Some actual discussion while the Parley goes on would be ok!
    Make it more diverse in the reactions between NPC the player is Parley with.


    Make a "Golden Saucer" zone place and set up gambling!

    Do something more with it, or scrap it. imo~

    I was thinking along the lines of rank 36 parleys should be 5 star, rank 30 should be 3 star, and rank 20 would be 1 star. Having rank 36 parley's be 1 star difficulty is silly. If anything, i believe 1 star parleys at rank 36 take away from the game.

    Also, please have failure of parley place a detrimental effect on the rewards gained. If you fail parleys, for example, you could reduce the number of guild marks garnered from completion of the quest.

    And finally, when do we plan on adding abilities to parley? There is an ability button, but unless i am missing something, it has no function.
    This could be a very subtle, very good joke. But I can't tell!

    Parley flat out sux & is boring. Please replace it with a card game (doesn't matter which).

    Parley is fun in concept, but out of place, the mechanics have some cheats in them, and it you are "Forced into winning", and by that I mean the computer decides you're going to win, because they never finished the mechanics. You talk about so many random things, too.

    It's also ridiculous on the rank 42 mission when you're standing parleying in front of 8 monsters and a rather large primal.

    I don't understand why Tetramaster isn't the parley system [oh wait, yes I do - the game isn't finished], and then you could also play tetra master in game too.

    Having it in the main scenario missions is really dumb.

    I like Parley a lot, but it's just very basic and luck based right now. I hope they expand on it and balance it out a bit.

    Down with the Parley haters.
