Not sure if this is linked yet...LoV Trailer

[TheGrimace]

I like GS content, but I think they need to keep things simple. Not everything needs to be its own gigantic meta-game, which is one reason I enjoy GATEs. Most of them are over in a span of ~3 minutes, and (aside from Skinchange, I dislike that one because some of the changes are so insignificant that it just becomes annoying to check each and every detail and try to remember...) for the most part they are all fun. Getting good at Verminion and Chocobo Racing takes lots of time and practice.

Same can be said for Triple Triad, but it has the luxury of allowing duties to drop cards and increase the chances of the player. As of yet, Triple Triad is probably the most popular and relevant game Gold Saucer has, despite Heavensward Areas having an overabundance of Random/Roulette rules and infuriatingly low drop rates. I hope that they take some time to rethink this as well.

Ultimately, my main point is that I think the primary lure of GS at this point is the smaller activities that players can do without much focus. Adding more ideas based on this idea would be good to build onto for the future.

Yeah a Battle Square system would be nice. A PvE sub-game in a PvE game, but no let's put a RTS instead...

Was playing through 7 yesterday and felt this was missing.

Honestly seeing the previews I had a feeling I would dislike LoV and upon trying it I was correct. Its interesting but I admit id prefer pokemon style minion battles, or more interesting and actual small games to play with or against people

On a side note I swear I remember reading a while back that there was going to be some sort of Gold Saucer attraction that involved flying through rings in the air to score points. Am I just imagining things? I wonder if that would be more popular?

Apparently they had to make a trailer to get people interested? Is there a trailer for Triple Triad? ( honestly curious as this is by far the most popular Gold Saucer attraction )

Guess no one's playing it. Who woulda guessed . I have yet to meet a single person in game that likes LoV or thought it was a good idea. At least with chocobo racing I would get lukewarm responses about people's feelings over the attraction... I myself in fact enjoy it as well even though I can't queue outside Gold Saucer.

Please casuals, ask for more content no one is going to use after the first few days of its launch. /sarcasm

They put it in because players clamored for it on the forums sooo.. no? If you go back far enough you'll find countless "We want minion battle mini games" posts. Yes it was SEs bad judgement in agreeing to do something so convoluted, but that doesn't detract that everyone comes to the forums to ask for the littlest things they want even if they have absolutely nothing to do with the game, or to the detriment to the game as a whole. You can see more than a handful of these genre of topics if you go back to the root of this forum right now.

To be fair there is a huge difference in asking for QoL changes ( like how they added toggling gathering skills while mounted, which was asked for and granted ), versus wasted countless development time on something like LoV ( LoV will always, from this point on, take development time away from the rest of the game. For every minion they add they have to take away from developing something else to make that minion capable of battle in LoV. It needs skills, actions and more animations... )

LoV is a virus set upon all of Eorzea and its future lol. Why? let's keep in mind that SE only budgets so much to FFXIV even though it rakes in dollars. This effects what can be developed and most of all the size of the dev team.

That's all I have to say about that...
