Q: Is there any additional information you can share about the Gold Saucer?

A: Well, I can tell you that chocobo racing will be implemented at the same time. Triple Triad will be implemented as well, but this isn't something that will just be contained in the Gold Saucer, as it can be played in other places throughout Eorzea. In regards to chocobo racing, we'll most likely be making it possible to train your chocobos at the same time for parameters such as stamina and speed. Also, being able to ride a chocobo and race it with your character in control is a new endeavor for an MMORPG. For Triple Triad, we'd like players to have fun by, for example, obtaining cards from Minfilia or discovering which NPCs in what locations possess cards. Besides chocobo racing and Triple Triad, Gold Saucer will have other mini-games such as a basketball shooting game and there may just be Gold Saucer Active Events that start out of the blue.
