Gold Saucer Mini Games / Levels or Challenge Weekly?

[Shougun]

Hello!

Tl;dr- Primary desire, add a weekly log, or BONUS like system (custom delivery), for mini-games to encourage variety. As it stands currently some mini-games are substantially easy to 'farm', due to placement and or just actually easy... and I would like to see a system that encourages trying out the other ones.


Longer meandering post:

Was doing some of the mini-games I don't normally do, because they're less efficient, and thought it would be cool if there was some sort of system that encouraged you to try the other mini games sometimes. The most simple is just like "play basketball 5 times, get x reward" BUT wanted to suggest something a bit different:

Each mini-game has star ranks, perhaps up to three, and ranking them up unlocks additional things about the mini-game but also in general. For example the basket ball mini game rank 1 might unlock fuzzy shots, which essentially allows you a slightly larger range of acceptable shots. Or focus which is an ability that slows the movement of the bar down for X seconds, can use every 3 shots. Or like multiple target zones. Etc.

That part isn't the primary idea, I just think it could be fun if the games evolved a little. The primary thoughts were as you ranked the game up it became a bit more valuable but when you maxed it out... it would boost your MGP for the entire saucer. Perhaps specifically for mini-games. Another might be akin to 'bonus' in custom deliveries at rank 2 or 3 you'd unlock the chance that game would be a bonus min-game. So at max of all the games you might be playing different games for different weeks. Besides the obvious of bonus MGP, another alternative suggestion that might fit the theme of the place is by completing X # of 'bonus' mini-games for that week you could earn gacha tokens.

Currently some games are just decidedly easier / better to farm, I do mix it up occasionally but I feel a little silly doing that when I know X is better / easier. Yes, I am aware of the weekly challenge for mini-games in general- thread isn't about that.

Thanks for reading

Just bumping and wanted to put it in context of the in demand (BONUS) system that is used for custom deliveries.

Perhaps its just a weekly log that says play 5-15 games of the current bonus mini-game. Just an opportunity. If you hate the mini-game then whatever, but man just due to sheer placement of the miner and botanist mini-game I almost never play it lol. This could tie into major content as well I suppose (X mini, Y major - 'bonus'), like Chocobo, Verminion, Mahjong, etc (consider time it takes to play... Mahjong takes a lot longer than say a single chocobo race lol).

Moogle Treasure Trove has a "do GATEs, get moogle tomestones." It isn't exactly a daily/weekly bonus, but it is something.
