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

    Never really saw why the card game was so popular. Chocobo Hot and Cold, on the other hand. . .

    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.

    They couldn't make a video of the development team drawing up the numbers in the Mogbonanza because the video itself would make it a gambling thing and you have to be 21+ to gamble (or is is 18+...idk I forget lol its one of the two).

    I get your understanding, and seriously it's not me who decides this lol. Yoshi has even stated something along the lines of not being able to make a something 'exactly' like the Golden Saucer from VII because of the aforementioned. I also know they had issues with Mogbonanza at first. The 'wheres' and 'whys' I do not know. I am unsure about the specifics, but I know they step lightly around gambling/betting features that are implemented into the game, stating laws varying state, and country.

    Is there any way these cards could also be used in battles? Maybe it summons the creature embodied on the card or using one casts a spell or causes some ability to trigger?
