    FFXI kind of did that with pankration. Except you took a picture of it and then fought with it a la Monster Rancher in Aht Urghan.

    But I really would love a card game. Tetramaster in FFIX was carried into playonline. I was sad when they discontinued it because of a lack of playerbase (in tetramaster not xi).

    They would probably need to do like they do for gambling sites: random encounters (I can see a kind of arena with different category levels) to avoid collusion.

    There could also be a tournament formula

    Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. It's the most popular mini game in all of Final Fantasy. They already have the rules and everything set. They even have the source code from FF8 to take inspiration from. All they gotta do is tweak it to fit the FF14 world. Set up the initial game. Then iterate and improve based on player feedback.

    A non-combat PVP system is just what this game needs to alleviate boredom.

    Just like in FF8 where you can run around and challenge NPCs. Also let me learn "Monster Card" so I can farm cards.

    Let me put an icon above my head that says I want to take on all challengers.

    Let anyone who wants to observe a match in progress.

    Let there be two types of PvP matches just like in online mode in Street Fighter 4: Normal Match: which is like a friendly game, and Ranked Match, which lets people battle for rank points.

    Create a server wide leaderboard to see who is the best card master

    Hold tournaments for cool prizes.

    Let participants of matches bet (items, gil, cards, etc) over the outcome of the match.

    Put in a whole crapload of cards, and watch the OCD playerbase swarm in.

    Keep the rules SIMPLE yet allow for high level play. Triple Triad was good at this. Tetra Master was a clusterfark of confusing hexadecimel letters and numbers.

    This would add in solo content, as well as PvP content at the same time, give people more things to do, and add loads of entertainment value to this game.

    Part of the excitement would be to venture out to the boonies and find NPC who have rare cards and try to beat them.

    100k new subscriptions guaranteed.

    Have card shops in all 3 cities. Each shop sells starter packs and booster packs that feature NPCs and monsters from that region.

    Starter Pack 1: 5,000 gil - Contains 10 random low level cards, and one random medium level card.

    Booster Pack 1: 50,000 gil - Contains 5 random low to medium-high level cards.

    Booster Pack 2: 150,000 gil - Contains 5 random medium to medium-high level cards, with a chance for 1-2 of them being high level cards.

    The best cards have to be "Monster Carded" from high rank mobs, or won from a high rank NPC, or as tournament prizes.

    Sounds boss. I think they step lightly around anything they consider 'gambling' or 'lottery' because of certain laws against online gambling/betting in certain countries, and states. So the betting thing may not work

    The gambling laws don't cover non-cash wagers in online domains. That would be akin to me being arrested because I played poker with my nephew using animal crackers as chips...

    I know they had to do something with Mogbonanza. I would be lying if I told you I knew specifics, but I do know there are some stupid roadblocks setup by some systems to deter online gambling. This very well may not apply to a particular state in the US, and might just be in another region. I just know laws vary state by state, and country by country.

    You're right, but only when it comes to ACTUAL money. Using Gil, a virtual currency in a virtual world, doesn't fall into that.

    As far as rare and powerful cards, you can make a four-fold system. When you defeat a powerful NM, like Ifrit for example, you can get his card. With his card, you can:

    -Use it in a game of Triple Triad
    -Trade it for a unique Ifrit item (Weapon)
    -Refine it into a powerful crafting item. A Tier V materia of your choosing.

    Oh god a fully functional triple triad in game... all of my money.

    Imagine if they also had conversion abilities so you had a chance to turn beaten NMs into cards, which could then be tradeable and such? Could change the economy of FF14 as we know it, haha. But I'm getting ahead of myself.. starting with the card game itself would be fantastic, then we can weave it into the game later with NPCs who play, triple triad sidequests, rare cards, tournaments on the weekends, etc. :P

    The random rule is now in effect.

    NO NO NO. YOU CAN BURN IN THE LAKE OF COLD FIRE.

    I can't count how many times I actually went all over the world in the Ragnarok just to play single card games and get the Random rule to DISAPPEAR.
