Triple Triad Ideas

[Destinova]

I play some friday night magic which gave me this idea.

Let us play triple triad anywhere in Eorzea. Then once a day or week have tournament with brackets and everything at the golden saucer and have a ranking bored as well!!

Cards come from every type of content.
Hildibrand card from Hildibrand quest, Scion cards from MSQ, Ifrit Ex yields an Ifrit Ex card, Twintania card from Turn 5 , etc.
Losing a match can lose you cards like in the previous FF, to encourage users to continue to do content after obtaining cards after the first time.

Hopefully they introduce a similar (or same) mechanic from FF8 wehre you had the skill "Draw" and had to get the cards that way or they can just go the generic route of all card games and have starter packs and booster packs.

Draw was that lovely mechanic that everyone sung praises about for FF8's magic system lol. The Card ability was the one that did the work for Triple Triad, though it would have to work like XI's Pankration (pet battles) where you took a snapshot of the enemy instead of killing it for a chance to get a card (else we have a new form of trolling). Even that could get ugly in certain situations if they allow bosses to be snapshot though.

As for the OP though, I was under the impression it was already open world card battles. Given the example of getting Minfilia's card and such.

This could be a neat way to get cards, but how would people who have done the MSQs get those cards? Or would they just automatically get them retroactively?

Same way as the achievement item rewards work: add a "card courier" NPC who you check "Give me cards!" and he'll be like "Ah, I see you have saved Eorzea from imminent destruction, this is for you. *Received: Ultima Weapon card!*". Retroactively scan for achievement-like milestones.
