Triple Triad deck formats needs to be change

[SundayTrash]

So whats the point of 1,2, and 4* cards after u hit 60cards, why limit the deck to just 3* and a single 5*. So instead of limiting ourself, why not create more diverse deck by changing the format to having up to the total sum of * per deck instead of having all 3* and a 5*.
Like for example, if u have 60 card, u can have up to total sum 15* per deck, that means u can have 2x 5* 1x 3*, and 2x 1*.

Wouldn't that just make people use that same deck format anyway? IMO we can take that and put a spin on it. Bring back the region rules from FF8, and make the regions various areas like the Shroud, Gridania, Ul'dah, Thanalan, Limsa Lominsa, La Noscea, Mor Dhona, Coerthas, Ishgard, Idyllshire, Dravania, and the Spine. Why? We can change up the rules in each region and how many stars you can use per deck in each different region every week. Make the NPCs abide by these rules too, and you have yourself a constantly changing, constantly interesting Triple Triad.

They don't care about actually adding in real content. They just shuffled some numbers around and called the relic quest new. You think they'll do something as numerically intensive as that for a minigame?

Or they could just remove the deck limits entirely. "But no deck limits would make the game too easy", they cried. Well, we had no deck limits in FFVIII and it was popular enough that they remade the same mini-game 20 years later.

Among the ff14 players that collected every card in ff8, i wonder how many of them are bothering to collect them all again in ff14. I know that I only pick up new cards if it isn't out of my way, but I don't bother grinding bosses or time-limited npcs. I've got a variety of 5-star cards, and a decent selection of 3 star cards. With 3-star decks unlocked, there is no reason to gather anything else.

Hmm, when I get 1 million MGP, should I buy Fenrir or a Cloud card that I can't fit in my current deck? Tough call.

I think this is what they tried to accomplish by letting you set your own rules. Say Gridania had a rule set that was generally unfavored by the player base, then we would all flock to a different region and gather around. That would stress the servers, especially if it happens to be an already populated area at the time due to FATEs, Relic grinds, etc.

Unless the rulesets happened to evolve as fast as they did in FF8. If you kept starting and then cancelling games in FF8, one or both of the rules would be changed, the game realizing that one of them was not liked. If SE were able to pull out some sort of algorithm to do it here, it could go way better than a weekly change, it could possibly end up being a daily change. That's a big if though, and it may be pretty hard to set up in terms of code.
