Add Justice Monsters Five to the Gold Saucer Please! (and other FF arcade games)

[Azurymber]

Justice Monsters Five was a mobile pinball-esque arcade game that came out around the time of FFXV and promptly got shut down half a year later (there was also a version in FFXV i think).

And while it's not perfect, it's a fun pinball experience.

Would make a great time-killer for MGP in the gold saucer.
Most of the code and assets for the game already exist (would just need to port them).
And the collection-system was fun.

The mobile game is completely shut down, so bringing it to the gold saucer would be an awesome way to save that small part of final fantasy history, while providing ppl with an entertaining past-time.

Pankration from FFXI would also be fun
FF7 motorcycle minigame would be fun
And i'm sure there are other FF-related arcade games that would be easy to implement.

I'd also really /really/ like them to port some of the minigames from FF7. Those were the best part of the game to me. I wouldn't even care if they were direct, polygon rips from the old game. Snowboarding, the Junon Strategy game, Mog House could be cute as hell (though unlikely), etc. Hell, I'd even take Sphere Break from X-2.

I want a coliseum or a mini tactics style game where you and ai/friends can que against ai/opponents

4v4 tactics battle every class gets preset skills

I concur. Justice Monsters was indeed in FFXV and it was a fun little game to play (The rewards were also great of course).
And, at the very least, FF7's snowboarding minigame should make a comeback somewhere. That was so much fun. I'd even suggest they keep the "retro" graphics if possible.

Looked up the snowboarding game and I would be fully against that being put in as is. If you want the nostalgia hit, ff7 is available on a multitude of platforms right now. If they're going to put this in, I feel it needs to be updated in both graphics and functionality. Personally I do not want them wasting any dev time if the end result is something akin to the chocobo racing game and its poor gameplay.

For some of the mini games (like snowboarding) it would probably only take a few days for a single person to re-code the games. Short and small games are generally not code-intensive. And if you already have all the code, you're basically just re-writing things into a new language. If they can copy assets over then it goes even faster.

For something like Justice Monsters Five it might take a bit longer (especially if copying the mobile gacha/collection stuff). But again, all the code is essentially there, so you aren't creating something from scratch.

Rather than spend months working on gold-saucer events that people play for a week and never touch again (like the minion one), adding classic ff-arcade games that -were- successful would make sense. You already know people will like it and play it. And you don't have to build it from scratch.

The mobile version of Justice Monsters Five was so "successful" that it was shut down only a few months after its release.

I'd still say it may be worth bringing in if it's not too hard to port, but they're bound to want to look at why it didn't do well before.
