Since we are getting the Golden Saucer anyway sometimes in the future...

Neither did I but saw pictures. Yes as far as I know it doesn't matter what's there on the actual cards. Or at leas no value is given to them. Yet. Ace is using a Tarrot deck in Type-0. No idea what Setzer uses, but he can do mega flare with it so it's a pretty powerfull deck

[Balipu]

Another thing came to my mind. If the cards are used like in Type-0, with random cards drawn, each with their unique effect, it might be an interesting idea for Gamblers to make cards the actual drops and quest rewards, NOT the whole decks. The base damage and stat bonus of the deck(main hand weapon) could be dependant on the number of cards in the deck, while the cards themselves are collected and placed in the deck by the gambler himself.

It is safe to assume that every class will need a card deck interface for triple triad. It would be a simple thing to enable Gamblers to use the very same interface to manage their fighting deck as well. Of course this would make it possible to build healing and tanking decks as well. Both of these roles happen to be in short supply.

It's an interesting concept but it seems overly complicated and complex for something that anybody should be able to pick up and play.

Teller => Gambler/Diviner?

Gambler would probably be a DPS class, but would role as a support class, much like bard, but they would use their legendary luck to grant boons of strength and power?

IDK.

You said in the thread earlier that you would elaborate on the class mechanics if asked. Would you mind putting them into a Google doc and dropping a link here? Maybe if I had an idea of how you think it might work, I could understand better.

[Balipu]

Yeah it does sound overly complex. Then again, so does the ninja. I originally planned to do it once more than one person takes interest in it, but I might do it in the weekend.

I've thought about similar types of classes for the Gold Saucer, but not fashioned into combat classes. Instead, I see them fulfilling more noncombat roles like DoH and DoL... maybe "Disciples of the Game"? xP

You'd be able to play all kinds of games for different prizes depending on what kind of class you are. It wouldn't even need to be a lot of classes categorized as "DoG".. I would imagine Gambler, where you play card games, maybe Triple Triad (which has already been confirmed for the future) and even Tetra Master (FF9) and Sphere Break (FF10-2).

Another "DoG" class I would love, love, love to see is Blitzer or something, maybe. Where you play Blitzball. Because I would play the hell out of Blitzball if it was in this game.

I only came up with the Disciples of the Game idea for potential Blitzball playing. I don't even care if Blitzball gets its own class or not. I just want to play!

Perhaps, since it would involve swimming, it would allow for underwater combat in other areas of the game. Idk.

[Balipu]

Disciples of Minigames.

Since I'm having a blast with Type-0, i'm gonna stick with the combat gambler.
Sorry for not working on my concept, but with a lot of IRL work, a few bucketloads of emotional breakdown and the announcement of Heavensward, I didn't really had the chance to do anything.

[LiveVoltage]

Its fine, lol. Take youre time. The forum isnt going anywhere. :P

[Balipu]

The forum isn't. But I might. I'm seriously starting to lose it.

Actually, I don't think that's too far off a bet. Yoshi-P hinted at the next character with a 007 shirt and a gun motion. What is more iconic of 007 than its first novel and movie, Casino Royale? I'm also betting it's paired with Rogue as a cross-class, which makes it a ranged gun-wielding dps.

Sadly though, the cards have gone the same way as the scythe.

I don't want the cards to go. That is the whole point. Fighting with cards is awesome. (and stylish). But what do I know. I'm just a stupid octopus.
