    I don't mind TT. It was one of my favorite things about FF VIII. It takes a bit to get started with it though. Until you have a half decent selection of cards it can be rough. Sometimes the NPCs can be kinda cheap since they don't have to play by player deck rules but it's something you kinda get used to. Or you don't. It's not for everyone I suppose.

    You can look up what the rules are for the match and what the rules mean. You chose not to work around those rules and then expect for it to work the same as the no rules version?

    Triple Triad is cool.

    Except Chaos. Chaos can go die in a fire.

    Also, the fact that 4* cards are practically useless do to the absurd deck restrictions we get (That almost every single NPC in the game is not bound by)

    Doesn't look up the rules. Proceeds to accusing the npcs of cheating.
    /thread

    Random note did they ever allow us to carry more then one 4-5 star cards or is it still only 3 stars?

    You just have to know which rule it's using. That said, I've always preferred Tetra Master. That might get me to actually play the cards, even if it's tied to GS.

    It really feels like the AI can just make up rules so they can win or draw whenever they want.
    When you learn how Plus and Same works, it's really fun to do it against players. You can set a trap, and if they put their card in the very obvious trap, you can get Plus! Same! Combo combo combo! It feels great.

    A part of me likes triple triad, and a part of me doesn't.

    I did spend one night a few weeks ago just playing triple triad for hours.

    But i dunno, i can get frustrated from that same deal you talked about OP.

    It does take strategy and knowing what your opponent has to play around it.

    I don't think(?) there is a one deck beats all type of thing.

    But i'm a noob at TT so i wouldn't know.

    Back in 1.x, when yoshda was asked if they were going to add triple triad, he answered it wasn't enough for a mmo.

    And he was right........... triple triad was fine as a side-game in a 50h game like FF8, but it sure doesn't have the depth required to be played for hours.

    There are ways to update it to actually create some sense of strategy (a cathedral burns each time a NPC uses the word "strategy" about TT) but it's FFXIV, and in FFXIV we never look back. Create mediocre content, and let it rot as we create even more content, faster, not better.

    There are a lot of problems with Triple Triad, but "I didn't read the rules" isn't one of them. The tutorial area should clearly teach you how things like Same and Plus work, and if not there are tons of guides online for additional help.

    The main issues with TT as it is right now are 4-star cards being mostly pointless, and abysmally low drop rates on NPC and trial drop cards.

    I Triple Triad quite a bit but I can't say I enjoy the actual gameplay against NPCs, only the card collecting. Feels like every NPC I duel has the Chaos rule for some reason. If they don't have Chaos, they'll have Roulette which will land on Chaos. Pair this up with absurdly low drop rates on even the most basic of cards (on an alt I had do duel the Triple Triad tutorial NPC around 25-30 times for the 1* card to drop) and I can only think the person behind this mini-game is a complete sadist.

    Plus/Same with the All Open or Three Open rule can be quite fun however. Finding patterns on NPC duelists and manipulating how they place their cards is also enjoyable.
