Patch 2.5 Special Site Updated!Follow

OMG, I can see it now, wall-to-wall bunny glamors in WoD...

I'm a touch disappointed that the bunnygirl outfit is female only.

I can imagine a line of Roe Male 'showgirls' step-dancing in time by the Mor Dhona Aetherite...

is there any info on triple triad? like can we make custom decks? can we play anywhere or just gold saucer? That was such an awesome mini-game in ff8, I'm really looking forward to it.

if triple triad is anywhere near as fun as it was in FF8 then i will spend an ungodly amount of time playing. I WILL HAVE ALL THE CARDS.

and...disappointed again. I was hoping, just praying, that to get cards all I had to do was play cards. but no, I'm forced, yet again, to do things I don't want to do. forget it, i'll stick with ff8's version.

You know I don't care because I love what SE has released. They were never going to get perfect but what they have done is released a better GS that I expected by far.

Triple triad was never going to be exactly the same as FF8, just like the Golden Saucer was never going to be FF7 and the Chocobo racing to go with it. Instead they have seriously released something which made me completely forget to do dailies!!!

Those cards may not have a direct impact on your deck, but they have an indirect one. Until you have 30 unique cards, you can only have ONE card 2 star ranked or higher in your deck, so grinding out the 1 star cards improves the overall quality of your decks eventually. I've just hit 30 cards, and I can now have as many 2 star or lower cards in my deck as I like, and 1 card that's 3 stars or above.

If only the patch notes had an in depth listing of the rules...

I didnt see that in the patch notes: All I saw was GS was added to the Active Help interface so I am guessing all the info is there..
Thanks for the info on the deck building rules.. I got a few cards last night, some npc take a long time to drop cards, I got a few of the same ones in a row..
I did pretty well beating some npc that had 2 and 3 star decks.
We were supposed to be doing stuff to grind GC seals for another Lucis and ended up running into a npc and playing that game all night instead.


These sites are good for tracking cards down

actually I don't play. I'm pretty sure I made that clear in a few other threads. I keep myself subbed because I enjoy talking to the friends I've made. Sometimes I get asked to help with some content, but I am by no means playing. in fact, I would consider myself whatever is under a casual player at this point. So no, I'm not a hypocrite since I am not playing. My ilvl is 108, and has been since last june.

And about the card thing, you know full well I'm not asking to be given anything on a silver platter. I would be perfectly content with grinding cards if I had to, you know, play the activity in question to progress. It's a minigame. For fun. I called it "a grind for the sake of grinding" because it's forcing me to play content I don't want to play, and have played to death. MORE titan hard mode? really? The game must be getting top heavy already if they needed to find yet another reason for people to go back to that content.

And ya I PM'd you because I don't like you, and no one else cares or wants to know about any beef you and I are having. Pretty mature of you to share. You have this tone when you talk that just pisses me off more than it should. You are like the complete opposite of killua, if you even know who that is. He was probably a troll, but disliked the game. You seem like a troll, but who likes the game. You made a pretty amazing comment in one of the other threads "this game is utter brilliance". I guess every other MMO is just as brilliant since 14 takes a lot of ideas from those other games. But honestly it doesn't matter. Like the game, don't like the game, whatever. I kept this between you and me, but you want to take this into the public square so be it. That actually says a lot more about you than it does about me.

And by the way, I think all MMO's since WoW came along are crap. Tried them all, don't like any. Only FFXI kept me interested, and even that game is crap now (yes I tried to get into it. they screwed it up). I don't think it's wrong to hold a high standard for MMO's since I essentially played the best one made. It was way too hardcore and grindy, but it was fun, unlike all these WoW clones are. they take all the worst parts of MMO's, and instead of keeping us subbed by making **** fun, they keep us subbed by locking content every week and giving stupid grinds, just for grinding. A grind can be made fun if done right, but no one is doing it right. My real gripe with 14, and the reason I keep trying to play it but can't, is because I just don't find it fun. I couldn't tell you why I was able to stay with FFXI for so long, or why I truly found it fun to play back in the day. But whatever it had, it doesn't have now, and neither does any of the other MMO I try to play.

And go and listen to any critic you want. I played 14 hardcore. All those critics I seriously doubt played the game on my level. 14 is not a game you can play hardcore and have fun with. My static broke up and people quit left and right. Most of the people playing the game don't play on a hardcore level. This is why so many people play and continue to play. If everyone was hardcore, everyone would have left by now. So if your having fun playing casually, great, the game was made for you. Unfortunately for me, it was half assed made me. They tacked on the binding coil for hardcore players to enjoy, and that's all we have. Theres a place for both of us in this game, but SE doesn't really care about us because we are the minority...hmm that sounds pretty familiar...
