FFXIV needs Triple TriadFollow

Seriously, how awesome would this be?

We'd have a completely separate inventory tab for cards (like crystals) and we'd be able to collect monsters as cards. I'd imagine NMs would even be able to be captured as cards.

You'd be able to decide what rules to play with when you challenge other players, including whether or not you want to play for ante or just fun. Maybe we'd even be able to acquire NPC cards via completing quests.

This would give a great indirect incentive to level higher (and acquire better cards from monsters).

Something like triple triad (pvp) winner steals card would be great content itself imo.

you can buy basic deck at npc card vendor

usage of cards >
1) combine more unique cards to create 1 even more unique
2) change lower, normal, med rare cards at npc vendor for unique crafting material, crystals, shards... ( cant change top rare cards for items - playable cards only - but still combineable )
3) challenge npc to play a card game
4) challenge a player to play a card game
5) sell card for gil to npc vendor only

gain of cards >
1) monster drop
2) challenge of npc
3) challenge of player
4) another way

card menu >
Similiar to FF8 - you see list of cards which you have got, you also see empty card slots - for cards that exist but you dont have them.

optional > maybe overcomplicated idea
1) list of players' score. Gain score by playing player vs player game, each stolen card will add a score to player, lost card decreases score. (score gained depends on rank of card)
2) see list of owners of top rare cards (restore origin of top rank rare cards if user becomes unactive - he wont log in 2 months). He will basically lose owner's right, because he is unactive for long time. Card will get back into the game.
3) combo game (like Triple triad in ff-8)
4) different rules of card game for every region / playable npc

edit / note :
waste of time to write this anyway. SE will never implent card game for FF14. Precious time of these minigames were in square's games only.

Considering the failure of Tetra Master in FFXI, I sincerely doubt SE would even consider adding another card game to FFXIV.

Adding in a card game would only take away development time from more important issues, anyway.

If I understand correctly. Tetra master in FFXI was addon - somewhere in menus before you started game itself- that means minigame not related to main game.

Actually Triple triad was awesome. If something similiar would be directly in the game world, then pvp could be fun as well as gaining of cards. Just - card events in ls would be nice activity as well.

Dunno if I am only card-player with owners of the thread here. But nice point...
As I said before... never will be added. heh.
