Mahjong is the most depressing mini game you've added to XIV

There's nothing to prevent people from learning it, yes. But when the game dies down very quickly in all non asian servers and the ONLY people left are the few that know the game very well, it's hard to stand any kind of fighting chance when you are against them.

The rating is the most stupid thing the devs could add. They probably wanted to copy "official mahjong league" or something, but they just forgot the difference between "professional mahjong players" and "FFXIV players playing a side game". Every mini-game in FFXIV have been damaged because the devs take these mini-game way too seriously.

I still haven't found out where it is located in the game, i wouldn't mind trying it out for a min or two but I have heard it isn't what regular mahjong is.

The 'regular mahjong' you're thinking is more than likely the Mahjong Tiles that people in non asian countries know of, where you remove the tiles in pairs to try to clear the whole board. This is actual Traditional Mahjong they added to the game, where you have to have 4 players in it, giving you more chances to play against someone who knows the game well before you can really grasp the basics. And you can pre-emptively see you're outmatched when you see people with high rankings in the game, while your rank says 'novice'

And to unlock it

Every Little Thing She Does Is Mahjong
Any class or job level 15
The Gold Saucer (X:4.8 Y:6.1)
Lewena
Players must first complete the quest "It Could Happen to You."

Original poster... you got depressed by playing an optional mini game in a online Massively Multiplayer online game?

I have to say, you are doing something terribly wrong. This content, I think, just isn’t for you, please pick something else from the massive array of content that might suit your interest.

People can share their disinterest in things but you have to realize content is created for this *massive* player base. For evey person that *detests* a piece of content it will be loved by someone else. Just move along. (And no I haven’t even tried this yet, but seriously people do something else if you don’t like it. But going as far as to call it depressing? Really?)

... as for your orchestrian roll...

Make a free trial account, unlock the gold saucer, play against yourself and make your main account win every time. “Super absurd kick to the groin” problem solved.

If you dont play on PC... ask a friend to make an alt and let you win against them every time.

You can't sign up with any friends for points in rating, you'd have to hope that you get signed up with friends. And I'm talking about fact the game has two different ranking type things with it, one of which IS NEVER PROPERLY EXPLAINED. They short changed up on the explanation, and that's just a kick to the crotch from SE.

Well I'm glad there's finally another minigame to take the heat off Lord of Verminion.

Remember, if you're looking for a game that is,

• 5-10 minutes long at most
• 100% deterministic with no rng
• Has a higher skill ceiling than both the feast and ultimate combined

LoVM is that way
