The Gold Saucer



I'm a gamblin' Lala. The idea of "The Gold Saucer" (name tbd) or something similar in ARR really appeals to me!

I realize this won't be at the 2.0 launch but it will be something to look forward to. I hope this casino type place won't be taken lightly and just have a couple of mini-games but have an entire patch dedicated to it. I wouldn't mind paying for such an expansion.

So I would like this thread to be dedicated to ideas for this implementation.

What do you envision "The Gold Saucer" to be like?"

I see the place having games that are divided up with two types of rewards.. or loss :0

1. Gambling games - Type of game you could play with peers and bet gil on.

2. Arcade/mini-games - Type of game you could play by yourself and receive tickets or some type of voucher. Then you could redeem these tickets at a kiosk for prizes such as a Dratini, err.. piece of furniture for your house, gear, pet, etc.. You get the idea.

As far as location, I imagine it to be in the sky like in FF VII.
OH, also with lots and lots of LIGHTS <-- lights

What types of gambling games would you like to see?

--I believe the most popular idea that i have seen tossed around is Chocobo racing. Players could purchase tickets betting on which chocobo they think will win. Basically like going to a horse race.

Or instead of randomly generated wins from the races, maybe players could race their chocobo they have raised?

--"Eorzea Hold 'em" Poker!

What types of arcade games would you like to see?

--Parley! uh, Snowboarding!

--Slot machines

-- Rock 'em Sock 'em Lalafell (this one would be better as multiplayer)
