Mini Games!

[TheGeneral]

I love them, i know you do too.
It would be really great if those came into play in this game. I mean it would be great to waste your money on something like that. And they dun have to be really great mini games, something along the lines of POng would do. You could win little prizes that would would not be albe to get anywhere else. And the more the cost of the game, the better, and rarer the prize is. It would also be great if those games be multiplayer, so you could play others at it. I know, i know, u say what is the point of mini games in a game itself, you can just go on some Yahoo server and play there, but that would mean leaving a game. This way if you get tired of fighting, you can take a brake and relax at a local bar, and enjoy a game of whatever...

This is the best idea i\'ve heard for quite a while. I think that the mini games should be somehow tied into the big game. Not like pong (Or at least a planeshift themed version of Pong).
Maybe there could be a place like the market in zelda: ocarina of time, where there are different shops you can go into, offering different games.

I think that would be a cool idea bring back galaga pong al the great classics of the old days wait im a little too far into the future i think they would have to have some modifying to go with the rpg attmisphere (spelling?)  or maybe all new games only on ps

One of the mini games could be a 2d, space invaders type game, but using the flying animals (I forgot what they\'re called).

Maybe a platform game, like the very, very old mario style games where you jump up to all the platforms. It would be 2d and you would have to avoid all sorts of meanies to get to the stairs that take you up to the next level of the cave. At the end of the top level would be after a little boss, would be a nice reward.

The idea is very good. Reminds me from FINAL FANTASY 7 Golden\'s Saucer (or something like this, don\'t remember it in a while), or perhaps even something like FF8 Triple Triad. The idea have lots of potential, a slong as the mini-game aren\'t useless and have some prize or challenge.

Some ideas for minigames:

Monster Arena: Players can bet on a winning monster dueling other monsters.

Battle Arena: Same principle. Two people of equal race or near level can battle each other. People can try betting on the winning one.

Casino-type games

\"Battle Arenas\"

Excactly.
The \"golden saucer\" made FF7 a great deal better.
Even after you finished the game you had lots to do at the golden Saucer,
It would be kinda cool with some huuuge \"gaming arcade\" thing in Planeshift, where players could relax.
Also in mini games what about betting?
You could like bet 100 tria on yourself playing against another player, if you win you walk out of there with 200 tria in your pocket, if you lost... well, bad for you.

ill second that. one of the best ideas ive heard.

i think you should be able to win NPC slaves for winning arena fights they could mine and farm and stuff like that for you.

[Mephisto]

Roflmao!
Slavery, haha, what if you could enslave real players?
Wooo that would rule, lol, this game is gonna be weird considering all these ideas

[Elentor]

The idea is good, but this kind of stuff is only to be discussed in later stages on the game. But don\'t worry, as they are and will be carefully discussed. Long live to the chocobo races!  

[Princess Aelya]

yessss!!! we gotta have some kind of bird like creatures to race on!

[Elentor]

I didn\'t said that hahahah
I hope we ever get something like that, but like I said, everything regarded mini-games is still to be - and will be - discussed

[Mephisto]

I loved those chockoboes
And the way you had to breed them to get different kinds (took me quite a long time to get a golden one)
Man, been a long time since I played ff7, I seriously gotta find that game.

The best mini game in a MMOPRG that i have played would be a Race type of thing. YOu can tame dogs, and than rain them by letting them fight with you, and than you enter them in an event, like a dog race, and ppl bet oh you. It would be really cool, but instead of dogs, PS can use like spiders or something along those lines.
