Dear SE, to kill some time...

[Ashaylin]

I LOVE THIS IDEA. However it will never happen. The first time someone loses a valuable card they spent months trying to collect they will whine and make life for Square-Enix a living hell. But if the community wouldn't be so baby-ish then this would be an amazing idea. I love triple triad.

Yoshi has already stated that he would like to add a card game. At this moment he is not satisfied with any of the ideas that have been brought to him. They are trying to make a system that can't be abused and they want to implement an adequate reward system that will keep players playing. The last thing he wants is to add a game, the players play it, then they forget about it so that the game becomes excess fat.

I loved Triple Triad in FFVIII! Sometimes I play FFVIII just for that card game.

So yes please add this!

However I didn't really like tetra master.

Also the last few harder rules on Triple Triad, I also didn't really like.

But I would love a CARD Game, people love to collect things, so some people probably just want to collect them all. People like me <3.
Even if I don't like the card game itself, I probably would like to collect them anyway. I hope you can collect them all! Would be cool if you could show your collection on the lodestone.

But it must be in-game.

I read so many good ideas in here.

Please please add something like this.

PLEEEEEEEEEEASE?

If this actually got announced I think it would make my holiday season. /support support support.
*gets down on knees and begs for this to get implemented*

An idea for a reward system would be like how Everquest/Everquest 2 does with each booster having a chance to get an item card that can be redeemed for different items, they could also give players free boosters every month like somewhere between 1 to 5 booster packs

Triple Triad is garbage.

Tetra Master is the real deal.

That is all.

RPG Site: I actually kept my subscription to Tetra Master Online for probably a good year after my main FF11 subscription expired.
Yoshida: [Laughs] The problem with Card games and things like that is what you really need is - it can't be something you do by yourself, it has to be player battles. If that's the case, do you just play to play? What about rewards?

Those people want to play for rewards - a lot of people will be like, 'Why should I spend my time playing this mini-game when I can go into this dungeon and get some sweet gear?'

But then, on the other hand, if there's rewards and there's two players - one might lose on purpose so the other can win and get the rewards, which is obviously cheating... so, how do you cover these type of problems?

Conceiving and building a system that covers these kinds of bases is what is taking a long time with creating mini-games - as well as coming up with something perfect.

Yoshida thinks people won't play Tetra Master because there is no reward, but I think the reward in a game where you take your opponents cards are self-evident.

The whole cheating thing sounds like an actual problem, though. They would definitely need to find a way to stop people from purposely losing to level up their friend's tetra master cards or vice-versa.

They should combat this by making the reward for winning NOT be taking someone else's cards from them. Maybe if you win you should just win an expansion pack or something.

To me this sounds like a bad idea because everyone would end up with a stacked deck from constantly leveling their cards without losing them. Granted, if the cards were tradable outside of a game people could still stack decks.

It's a tricky situation... no doubt.
