Minigames

[Loony_BoB]

Would you like to see minigames in Eorzea? A card game a la Triple Triad, or a simple gambling game of luck that you can actually play against other characters? I for one would love this - it would give people something to do when they aren't grinding and (if it was done right) would only add to the social aspects of FFXIV. I'm aware this isn't the kind of thing you could throw in overnight, but I'm thinking in future expansions it would be awesome to have that kind of content. Potentially it would give people who aren't interested in grinding in MMO's another reason to stay.

Actually I think it would be really cool if DoH crafting was turned more into mini-games that would determine the durability/quality of items. Aside from that other distractions around the world of Eorzea would only serve to enhance the sense of immersion and I am all for them... once they fix the games other problems.

Take something like FFVII's Golden Saucer games and add them to the game. Not exactly the same of course, but you get the idea. Like the battle games, where you could be reward for defeating mobs in an arena, something similar to BCNM's in FFXI, but ya know? With it's own twist.

I would like to see parley be a minigame players can play against each other. It just seems odd that it is limited to only NPCs, which only plays the game in a certain fashion.

Heck I dont see why not, EQ2 has a fully built in collectible card game.

I mean that'd be a lot of work but there's other things that wouldnt.

This game already has a Mini-game in the form of Parley, technically.

Why not have a Golden Saucer inspired town in the game? That has the same purpose golden saucer did.

Probably the fear of lag due to everyone being in the same place.

Parley is a poor minigame at best, I'm pretty sure most agree with that. I'm looking or a bigger minigame (a bit of an oxymoron there), something we can play against each other.

Chocobo racing, card games, Golden Saucer-esque games, that sort of thing. I would love a collectable card game, personally.

Lag would a poor excuse.. they could find a way to make it work. Like having each mini game section be instanced.

I'm all for Chocobo Racing and Trading card game (FF IX)
