Jumping puzzle GATEs (Leap of Faith etc.) need to go

Isn't the consolation prize amount higher than the ticket price? I assume they get past the gambling aspect by the fact that you can't even lose MGP on it as long as you remember to hand in your ticket.

That probably helps alot too because yeah that is the case. You could only lose MGP on the Mini Cactpot, and then they changed that well after the fact. Starting to wonder if it was to avoid further problems.

I kinda wish the gold saucer had more actual IRL casino games (maybe games like poker or BS or actual slot machines but that might be illegal lol) with gil betting instead of MGP. Or if they've gotta do the MGP thing, maybe update the MGP shops more often 'cause there's nothing in there I even want so you could hand me 1 million MGP and I wouldn't feel a thing. Like, maybe instead of putting a new hairstyle/mount in the shop for 20 dollars during a content drought, put it in the gold saucer instead and more people will actually give a shit about make it rain.

blame CERO (Japanese video game rating system) and PEGI (European video game rating system). Both are extremely strict on ratings as soon as emulation of gambling comes into play. It's the same reason we got Voltorb Flip in place of the slots in the game corner in Fire Red/Leaf Green, and why there hasn't been a game corner at all since Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and Heart Gold/Soul Silver (even in the Ruby/Sapphire remakes, the Game Corner was removed, and it was replaced with a different shop in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl)

Wish they could improve the Chocobo Races and add more different minigames

They have FF7's Gold Saucer as a good template, THEY NEED TO USE IT!

Where is Gold Saucer's Virtua Fighter minigame?

They made this as an April Fools but I would love it if they made it a gold saucer minigame

At the very least reduce the frequency of the Black Shroud Leap of Faith.

Sylphlands leap only ever happens at xx:40. All the Leaps are at fixed times.



Personally, Sylphlands is the only Leap I'll do. I enjoy it quite a lot.
For that matter, I also enjoyed Skinchange, and absolutely want that one to return.

Skinchange was a good quick one once you realised you could inspect the targets directly in first-person view rather than finnicking through the menus.

Skinchange was a good quick one one you realised you could inspect the targets directly in first-person view rather than finnicking through the menus.

That was definitely the only way to do it...not sure why people would have a hard time with that one when you can just go first person, look at the person, then find their twin. Maybe run back and forth to double check parts, but it was definitely one of the quicker ones to do.

First person? I didn't even bother with that, just moved camera around myself in a way to get a good look. Also had the advantage of not being piled in on all the others trying to inspect; I could be several steps away with camera zoomed out from myself, but perfectly close to NPC.

Much as I enjoyed it, I do also recognize, it they were to bring it back, it really should be able to rotate in more models/races, which.. does just mean more work for (re)designing it all.

Similar to Time of My Life, if their intention was having one of every race/gender represented to be familiar with and emulate, is now increasingly hard to fit all examples on/around stage.

They probably could have put the dancers in clusters of three or something. Pick groups that won't collide with each other while emoting.

Or just have people learn to recognise other races with similar animations. I recall the female Miqo'te being close enough to my Midlander emotes that I could follow her if the Midlander dancer wasn't present.

Alternately, bring it back with some specialised dance moves instead of generic emotes, then you can pick it from the icon/name. Maybe require people to memorise strings of dance moves that get longer as the game goes on.

Small correction: All races/genders were always present. There was, however, a small floating stage I believe above the middle that 4 dancers were relegated to. You really had to play with the camera to get a good view of them, tho.

Which is where my hunch that their intention was to include all representatives comes from, and adding bun/cattos made it cumbersome (not to mention now it's not an even split, until/unless female hroth happen).
