Gates and Duties I'd like to see in the future (Suggestion)

[LxrdKeiji]

Golden saucer is one of my favorite places to lounge and relax. Besides gates and the daily minipot there aren't many rewarding minigames. (The amusement like games reward very little). There could also be more types of gates or events

What I'd like to see:
[*]More casino like games (Think Dragon Quest 11)

• Slots, Roulette, black jack 21, and possibly poker (Could be a great MGP sink as well as gainer)

• I believe this would bring a lot of players to the saucer just for leisure and social purposes

[*]New Gates and Duty ideas

• Rhythm Game gate similar to the FF7 Remake Dancing mini game or suzaku extreme DDR style game but harder

• Prop hunt hide and seek gate where one team of players hide on map while disguised as objects and other team tries to uncover and find them

• Blitz ball Duty with Blitz ball and Chocobo racing spectate/betting

• And last but not least a gate similiar to Gunners Gauntlet from FF X-2

I think this would bring a lot of attraction to the Golden Saucer on a daily basis. Tell me what you think and feel.

any type of casino/gambling type games are automatically out due to THE LAW. (tm) it would never fly in a lot of countries so they can never put it in.

Blitzball has been asked for for years. they're too afraid it'll disappoint people.

also no again to any kind of betting.

Would it be against the law if it's with MGP only, a currency source that is only available in the saucer? Multiple rpgs have a mini game casino. Pokemon, GTAV, some older JRPGS, and most recently Dragon Quest 11(A Square enix game btw) have a casino. I believe it only applies to some countries but not USA, EU or Japan. Not too sure about that though

For what it's worth, blackjack already exists in Final Fantasy, and is available in all regions where IX was released. Also, we do have lottery tickets for MGP which is considered gambling.

I do think there are some good ideas. Like a lot of stuff it would probably be dressed up lorewise, so we'd have Bozjan Roulette or something. Some of these seem like a good fit for minigames (like Cuff-A-Cur). Poker is a really popular one, and it would be cool to see it get similar support as Doman Majong, and would certainly resonate better with players outside of east Asia.

I do think they'll try Blitzball eventually. There seems to be some creative indecisiveness which is understandable since they don't want to mess it up.

The way the laws are written its different for an online game like FF14 then it is for a single player game. And i think(im not at all sure about this) the problem is primarily the laws on the books in japan. Square being a japanese company is very aware of them. So dont get your hopes of for any of those.

I want a fishing tournament. There's no way Godbert doesn't keep those ponds and fountains stocked will all sorts of crazy fish.

I'd love to get a "Where's Waldo"/Hidden Object-style GATE that uses the first person mechanic. Something like: Have you stand on the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the Event Square and have 10 minutes to locate a list of 4-5 things (like Shoebill or a specific Minion following an NPC) and you win different amounts of MGP for each item you find.

You could even have the same object be worth different tiers based on the clue you get.
Example: You could be tasked with finding a Wind-Up Hildebrand minion with clues like Bronze-"A Wind-Up Hildebrand", Silver-"A Most Gentlemanly Minion", Gold-"Eorzea's Smallest Detective".

Or let you only hunt one item at a time, with the clues/objectives getting progressively harder. This option would make it easier to let players have a stopping point since you could put a "Keep Going? Yes No" prompt after you find the target. Pick "Yes" and you get another random clue with whatever remains of your timer.
