So... How about a Golden Saucer?

Asked Yoshi-P about the possibility of adding mini games to Eorzea. Similar to what's being discussed here, he agrees that the idea of adding mini-games is really interesting, but currently there is a lot of other work that needs to be done first.

However, feel free to keep your ideas coming.

Would this be better suited as expansion material?

It would be nice to see some fun dynamic mini-games. Hopefully not as dull & system-limited like FF11.

Nice to know Yoshi-P likes the idea, maybe when theres a lil less work for the devs to do.

Thanks for replying, I fully understand, along with most other players, that the dev team has quite a lot on their plate at the moment. While we don't want to rush them or anything like that, it would be great to have something like this slated for work sometime down the road. But please, be sure to convey that we don't just want a couple minor mini games tossed in at random, we want something like the golden saucer in FFVII, a full fledged entertainment center for mini games, choco racing, cards, etc. A place where all the adventurers of FFXIV can kick off the dusty boots of battle, crafting, and gathering, and socialize/play, whether it be solo, with friends, or while meeting new people. It's not in any rush, so tell them to take their time if they do decide to do such a thing. But please don't forget about it completely, it would be so fun to have such a novelty in an MMO for once.

WE WANT TRIPLE TRIAD!!! That doesn't mean we want TETRA MASTER either.

I would like to see a Fashion Minigame. Players dress up in different mix and match outfits and then enter the outfit into a competition, then NPC's judge them against each other.

Similar to a Multiplayer Brigid.

That would be awfully fun. Mabinogi has something pretty similar and all.. actually we could stand to take a few leaves from their book in general. NPCs remembering you and behaving differently accordingly, clothing systems...

Hm, but, as for vaguely original ideas and the subject at hand? I don't know about a golden saucer. Even in FF7 it kinda clashed with the setting, here a theme park of any sort would be really uncomfortable...

But actual little minigames? Hm.. definitely I'd think, though I'd say the most important one would be chocobo rearing and racing. If we're going with other FF's ideas though.. what about something like defending the old MAKO reactor in FF7? XD I was always a bit sad the Golden Saucer didn't let me replay that one.

But is this thread about mini-games though?
I feel like it is more that it would be cool to have an Eorzean version of the Golden Saucer.

Just adding mini games would be cool... Triple Triad! (Yes, i have gone Triple Triad mental)

[Zion_Cross]

Dude everything you said is awesome, this thread is awesome. +1, ff8 card game really was a nostalgic comeback thanks!

I wish we got a more solid reply on the state of something like Tripple Triad...

o.o

How I forgot that.. yes, the card game is also extremely important.
