Get Ready to Par-laayyyyyyyyyy!

People hated Parley in 1.0 because the animations were incredibly slow. Also, cause they refused to use their brain to learn a simple minigame like that.

And the idea of talking about mining/crafts/gladiators/whatever with someone to untemper them while a pile of really really angry amal'jaa otherwise ignored you (unless you attacked them) was ridiculous, as was the same thing in order to get information off NPCs.

I fear that's the least ridiculous of illogical decisions SE has made in regards to both story and game mechanics C_C;

I watched a video about the game. I didn't understand sh*t. <- New 2.0 player.

It's a math game
You need to click on an item with 2 or more of the same icon in a row. The points of the same icons get add up. Your points increae the bar on the left, the points of your opponent decrease the bar. It need to be above 50% at the end to win.

I loved parley! Had always wished there was an option to play it outside of the one time only quests. Now we can ^_^*Gets ready to challenge her retainers to a hand!* Hmmm, better not play with the little one, her shifty look makes me think she'd cheat >_>

Actually in 1.0 they did end up adding NPCs in town that you could parley with & you'd get little rewards like mats for synthing or 1,000 gil. Nothing fancy but there was a way to parley out of the Main Story.

I also rather enjoyed parley, was like playing connect 4 & I just imagine my character is smooth talker.

Beastmen- "I'm gonna kill you and keep all these crystals to summon my God!"
Me- "Or.... we can just TALK about Crystals, eh? Eh?!"
Beastmen-".... Go on....>_>"

Really? O.O I didn't know ;.; I totally would have hung out with those NPC's every day! Where/who were they?

There were a few scattered around the cities, but most were in quests.

I still remember one in the Miner story line. A bunch of miners got stuck in a cave-in inside Nanawa Mines, and instead of using your pickaxe to dig out, you just talked about shields and gil.
