***WARNING! LONG POST!***
If this is in the wrong area, I'm sorry, I could not see any other areas to put it.
Think back to the times of FF 8/9, how often did you play Triple Triad? Personally, I played it all the time back then, and I think most people did to. Now, warp back to today, how often to you play Tetra master? Heh, I doubt ANY of you do, since I’ve never seen more then 1000 people on the Tetra master server at any time. I’ve been thinking for a while, and this is a short article on how to improve Tetra master, and how to bring it into FF 11 as a mini-game of sorts, and personally, I really enjoy it!
First off, there would be something to signal that you want to play cards. There could be an icon by your name where your LFP flag or link pearl goes, most likely with three cards on it. When two people want to play each other in a card game, it would warp you out into an area much like the current game screen for Tetra master. This would only be possible when you’re in a town, to stop the possibility of people losing agro from various mobs.
Second, the cards themselves. All the cards would be stored in a belt that has a card pouch on it, it would be level one and for all jobs, and it would be Rare/Ex. the ability to get the cards will obviously be important. There would be multiple ways to get the cards, including an NPC that would sell either cards, or card packs, and some special items that will be covered shortly. Not only would this be a gil sink, it could supply really good cards without having to pay any EXP penalty. The item previously mentioned would cost a few thousand Gil, and would always cause mobs to turn into cards of their previously monster self, though it would destroy the chances for EXP or any drops. This could cause a few problems, you know those people that call for help on stuff like vrtra, or anything else that’s got a high level, spawns rarely, and has very expensive and almost god-like drops? Those people could just use the card item.
In closing, I would like to thank any and all of my friends that have helped me on this idea, no matter how much or how little they’ve helped me. And please, if anyone has any ideas on how to make this better, tell me, because I would love to send this into SE ^.^
