Many do, not sure it would work out though how would it tie in to story? or even Gold saucer?

The last thing I heard was that they're still trying to figure out how to actually implement it in the game as far as it being similar to FFX as a team simulator or having our individual characters form teams with other players. This was a little bit after SB was released...I forgot which article I read that from.

So I think it's definitely a thought but nothings been made official.

The last time we had one of these threads, it basically went down the "don't bother with it if it's not going to be an actual minigame, no more menu ventures"

As it is, I'm someone who tended to skip all the mini-games in the FF games, part of that was that they never felt like they were part of the game (remember that FF8 chocobo world thing? I had the PC version and let that run for a few days and then never opened it again.)

I didn't care for the triple triad and the FF9 CCG either. I didn't care for the Blitzball game in FFX, but at least there was a reason for it. Still didn't play it.

Like there are things in FFXIV that I don't bother with, because either I see the time-sinkiness of it being deliberately wasteful, or people won't even attempt to play it and they rather win-trade (LoV, PvP) to get the reward rather than play it.

Like I know I rail on cheats all the time, but good grief, why do people bother paying for a subscription game, only to suck the fun out of everything so nobody else can enjoy it. I hope Yoshi-P puts some serious thought into how to combat "win trading" type of rubbish gameplay in the existing mini-games before rolling out a new one, because otherwise it will be suffer the same fate.

Last thing we heard was they were contemplating on making where we as a player play or we do the whole squadron type deal and just be a coach of a team.

Last it was mentioned, they still have no idea how to implement. Hopefully, it remains in development hell instead of taking up resources for something that'll die within two days.

To add to this he said he thinks ppl will find it boring after a while too

How would you like it to work? Go into detail.

I can tell you the one way it won't work, which is if you just never attempt it in the first place.

If you have multiple ideas, then you go as far as you can with each without having to commit, and then if you don't have a clear answer then you put it to some kind of vote.
