Nearly peed into my pants laughing while reading this in the patch notes ...

"Upon completing the side story quest A case of Indecency, players will unlock the Parley mini-game."

[Enkidoh]

Yeah, it was mentioned earlier in the week it's returning. Funny how it seems the quest to unlock is the last of the new Hildibrand quests - figures I guess.

Although I hated it in 1.0, I'm willing to approach it now with an open mind and see if it's been improved or not. Minigames are always welcome.

Minigames are always welcome.

Of course. I want minigames in the FC estate. Several different ones. I don't care if Parley, card games, board games, whatever ... although I would prefer something similar to trading card games with rare items and where you can actually win and lose stuff.
Can be simple, as long as they are well done, and can be used for socializing. It's the only PvP which would matter to me.

But why Parley?
They could have at least changed the name :-D

Well, I just hope that they did not strip it down to bare-bones, but instead implemented all the plans they once had, with actions, leveling, and so on.

In an ideal world we'd see parley tournaments organized by players to kill time for lulz. Wonder if we're in an ideal world.

What makes me laugh is the fact that Rowena has been moved again.. I wonder when she'll finally stand up for her self and say 'No I'm not moving!' >.> lol

With all the money she's making, you think she'd be cooped up in some shack? She's moving on up.

At least she didn't get more naked each patch like in 1.0.

The really big problem is that it wasn't much of a mini game; what you saw in those videos were major plot battles, all of which could be completely avoided by doing a clunky bejeweled ripoff.
Which is because of that weird mentality of Tanaka's team that even if you're an humble lumberjack (and I mean, your only unlocked class being Botanist, as you weren't forced to have battle classes in 1.0 at all) you still need to have your shot at saving the world, despite not having any combat skill at all.

If it was its own mini-game, and not something mandatory you had to get through to advance the story, then yeah it probably wouldn't even have been that bad. I laughed at it back in 1.0, but I'm curious to see how it's been reworked.

To be fair, it was designed to give DoH/DoL a way to progress the main storyline.

Haha very funny. She is the one choosing to move. Her final place will be a castle made of tomestones of mythology.

[Garlyle]

I'm scared to ask but

...What's Parley? Is this a returning thing from 1.0 I've never heard of before?
