The Super-Official-Unofficial Gold Saucer Discussion!

[jazo]

racing in XI used a special food so the chocos recover stamina, sprinted etc, even affect other racers. I guess it will be something alike

I am sad that our chocos will not race, theres no use in leveling them to rank 20 other than a little more questing help. Hoping our chocos to shine a little more like:
- be able to use them for breeding better racers (cap healer? more resistant to effects, cap dps? better sprint, cap tank? better stamina)
- be able to use them while waiting for duty
- be able to use them ON duty
- its a GC chocobo, it should be able to help us on GC leves...

im assuming the mini games will be instanced so we can all play. but than can be alot of ppl.. but than again thats alot of ppl waiting to play. so it can go both ways

My biiggest concern with Choco racing, is will i be able to choose between racing against NPC only or is only against players?

I want to level my racing chocobo and master the differents tracks "alone" and/or vs NPC before trying against real players.

Wonder if they will have snow boarding.

OR

The motor cycle attack game though I wonder if that's even possible.

Don't think will have battle square in GS, if they were to add such a mini-game or feature they would surely use the UD colosseum for it not GS.

whack-a-bahamut!
probably not but it would be good fun

[Rubieus]

There could be a queue for each mini-game ^^

Some have theorized that the stations have their own little zone, like when speaking to an npc (cutscene) type deal.

I'm so excited! I have a feeling once Gold Saucer comes out i'm gonna be crazy addicted... Especially the Chocobo Breeding! That sounds so fun!
I also can't wait to walk up to my friends and be like

"Get ready to D-d-d-d-DUEL!"

[Snugglebutt]

It's good in my opinion that players battling each other will not take the players cards from each other. It wouldn't be nice I think if good players strip new players of all their cards who have not played the mini game before in FFVIII. The good players still get their ego boost from winning but not ruining the fun for those who lose.

The Letter From the Producer said that there's going to be a dance event. I wonder what that will comprise of?
