Final Fantasy Minigame collection

[Alisbet]

Here is something that has been in my mind recently. Would it be cool if SE releases a game that among other things has a collection of memorable minigames from the FF series?

Here are some of the minigames and possible changes made to them. Take note that the actual game might have more games that what is listed here.

FFVII Chocobo race: This plays more or less the same as it did in the FFVII with updated graphics to boot. You start with 500 GP and if you run out of GP, it's game over.

FFVIII Triple Triad: Triple Triad is back and is more devious than ever. You start with a very basic deck and as you win more matches, the opponents will get harder and will hold rare cards for you to collect. This game includes all of the familiar graphics, music and the feel from FFVIII.

FFX Blitzball: This game is mixture of FFX and FFX-2 Blitzballs. You level up and control the characters like in the FFX and you spend points to scout more players like in FFX-2. All of this is accompanied by beautiful updated visuals.

FFX Cloister of Trials: Not exactly a minigame per se but I still felt like it could be included. This puts everything you know about the Trials into a whole new level. Changes includes the treasures being replaced by Confirmation Sigils and the exits are glyphs known as Exit Platforms. The first six Cloisters are the Trials are the ones you went through in the original FFX but after that you will find completely new Cloisters each more difficult than the last. New puzzles include precision based puzzles and some Cloisters also features you playing co-op with Yuna. Simply step on a glyph known as Switch Platform and you will take control of Yuna and vise versa. You will have to find her first though. Yuna can jump into otherwise unreachable places while Tidus is the only one who can hold spheres. After all of the Trials are completed and the Confirmation Sigils are found, the Final Cloister will be unlocked and it's basically a huge tower floating in the sky that is extremely hard.

Besides the minigames, this game also features a music player playing memorable tunes from the games as well as a trivia section where you find information about the games that you might have not known before.

Tell me what do you think. Should this kind of game ever see the light of day?

Unfortunately, I don't really play the minigames in any Final Fantasy. I'd rather go through the story and all. So no, I wouldn't like a game based on the Final Fantasy minigames. However, I do like the idea of Cloister of Trials. They were really fun. They sorta' reminded me of the dungeons from The Legend of Zelda series. I would love more of those.

Really, I am glad you think so too. It would be fun, I guess.

Urgh i hated those Cloister of Trials so much, dont know how anyone could actually "like" them. Just slow and boring compared to the rest of the game, and worst of all they weren't optional. But they aren't really mini-games, more just puzzles.

I would be happy with a $10 steam game of triple triad. Start with basic deck with little customization but as you play a single player campaign you gain more and more while same and plus rules are added. Then a lobby or simple match making system that joins you based on rank.

Man that would be sweet.

I hated Blitzball, but then again I couldn't play it for the life of me! I don't think I have ever won a game.. I think I tied once but that's about it. I also hated the Cloister of Trials, well some were ok I guess but it was pretty tedious overall. I do love FFX though, don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorites but the mini games are kinda meh.

I really did enjoy Triple Triad on VIII, it's very addictive and fun. I just love trying to collect all the rare cards. I always save before a game usually just in case I lose a valuable card.

Chocobo racing was pretty cool too but very long if you wanted to get the gold Chocobo.
