[request] Rhythm game in Golden Saucer

[KisaiTenshi]

I was thinking an in game game, similar to DDR or Stepmania. The arrows would scroll up the screen and people would hit the arrow keys.

It won't work, either it will be macro'd, hacked or cheated. Anything that needs sub-200ms precision can not be done, and no, you never "client side" anything that is meant to scored.

DDR, PUI, DWI, etc, work on sub-frame accuracy, so beats have to be timed to 1/120th precision and you have to hit them within a 1/30th of a second to score "perfect"

There is no way to make this work in a multi-player environment and it will just be cheated.

It would be better to take the approach of "Bardam's Mettle" and have something closer to musical chairs. That at least works within the 200ms precision.

If it's not vs, it would probably be client side like the other precision press minigames.

The Mining and Botany mini-games are actually the FFXIV V1.0 Mining and Botany system. That is quite literately how it worked in V1.0. If you hit things right you got stuff, hitting it perfect got the HQ materials.


Like I love having a variety of things to do in the game, but anything that requires high-precision like a rhythm game simply is impossible to do fairly. If you've played Theatrhythm, you'd notice that it's mechanics of it is closer to that of Guitar Hero or BeatMania.
