How Can Anyone Like Triple Triad?

[ZellosWilder]

Seriously. I love how I can be winning by 3 cards, and the AI goes 'I flip one, then make up this combo thing and flip 2 more, which then combos again to flip another one and then I call myself the grand Wizzlewazzle and flip every card you put down in the next 10 games you play against me.'

It really feels like the AI can just make up rules so they can win or draw whenever they want.

So Triple Triad sucks? because you don't understand the rules... how about trying learn how to play it before dismissing it...

It's like everything in life if you don't understand something there's less chance that you ain't going to like it but if you do understand it then the chances are increased that you will.

My biggest issue is how the rules only really affect you.

You can only have one four or five star card, the enemy can have 3 of them.

You have a pool of 130 cards to choose from (for Random draws), the enemy has 6.

This is how the enemy AI wins. By stacking the proverbial deck.

I love the game but hate the drop rate for most cards. Spending an entire evening on one NPC with hundreds of games and nothing to show for it does not make me feel accomplished.

Yeah the droprate is pretty annoying tbh.
Most NPC's have to get beaten 50-200 times. Sometimes it feels like there is no progression -.-
I really like to play triple triad, but over 2h (sometimes even more) for just 1 card is way too much for a "fungame" =(

It is obviously not doing to be for everyone, when Gold Saucer 1st launched and we got Triple Triad, it was meant to appeal to the Final Fantasy 8 fans mostly since that is where the mini-game is inspired from.

I really loved Triple Triad in FF8 and was a big fan of FF8 in general but I strongly dislike it here, so I'm not sure that's true. After 2-300 games on a single NPC, you stop enjoying TT for the game in itself.

I think it's meant to appeal to completionists who enjoy really long grinds.

I stand corrected on an issue...I discovered there is more then just mini game machines that reward (25 only) and cards...the game I cant seem to win, also the NPC's that teleport you to an inactive location (stomps foot) is just on a timer, I didn't know this before and just have to wait for another NPC to show up and offer the queue. Novice channel was a big help...I have a chance at the car now! \o/

...and a few other goodies in the vendor I thought out of my reach.

Not telling you how to do it but if you're worried about MGP here is a nice picture (click to enlarge) that can help you earn some size-able MGP quickly:

Iono man, those rules are part of why I love TT... admittedly when I'm the one ending up flipping the board and not the other way around.

Earlier today I was grinding out TT for the challenge log entries to get an alt the mgp for the Regalia....


Had the opponent do a plus and take over the whole board....
I then popped down one of my cards for same and stole the entire board back. :P

I just want to be able to play Triple Triad while riding my SDS Fenrir.

I can't speak for other people, but at least in my case: I don't like card games, this one is overly complicated on top of that, and the amount of RNG and bias towards what deck you bring is something I really don't have time for in a game where there's dozens of things I'd rather do at any given time.
