    -Most people aren't even aware of the existence of Doman Mahjong, or Vermillion.
    I don't understand why Verminion hasn't been remade into a classic turn based mini game, like Pokemon, old FF games, etc. I would be pretty addicted to Verminion if it were redesigned like that!

    I remember when it was first added players were disappointed it wasn't like Pokemon which was what it was expected to be - I suspect Verminion ended up the way it was because of a mistaken belief on SE's part that RTS games are big in Asia or something. *shrugs*.

    So, there is an arcade game (Lord of Vermilion) that utilizes physical cards where you move the cards around on a board kinda like a RTS, and the units move to where you place the cards. It’s pretty fancy/interesting if you are into collectible card games with a twist. Not so interesting that it needed a FF in game version.


    It’s also by Square Enix, so his was a cheesy plugin for another of their games, if we are being honest.

    Yeah, that would be neat to play in real life but definitely failed to hit the mark in FFXIV, lol! Probably would have been slightly more interesting if Triple Triad cards were used as summon characters than our minions.

    Its cute, but I dont think it would be successful in the US.
    Now...if it was Pokemon or YuGiOh...or even Magic, or Vanguard...this would be amazing.
