Well, to be fair, each city/state should have its own minigames.
Uldah = Casino type games
Gridania = Archery Minigame (Sort of like the gathering minigames but with wind speed and direction in effect) Frog Capture (Catch as many frogs as you can before time runs out.)
Limsa Lominsa = Duals (First person dualing with Pirates, Winner take all,etc.)
I really like this idea, it gives each city-state much more differientation.

Either that or someplace really cool, like the Gold Saucer where we can go and do a thousand different fun things, to earn costumes, cool items to help in battle, pets?
