Perhaps once I get the Regalia-and finish my Relic weapons-then I’ll return to the Gold Saucer to get the luscious Sabotender Emperador mount. Yeah, I did just buy the Cruise Chaser, but I want the Regalia too. It also fits four players, meaning you can roll around Eorzea in your rich-ass all-black-everything ride. The car exudes that luxury car feel you’d get from a real-world Lexus or Chrysler. One, the Regalia is just a damned cool mount. Given my overall dislike of FFXV, I’d understand you being somewhat confused as to why I’m putting in all this effort. I’ve called the game “slow, cumbersome Kingdom Hearts ” in the past and I only vaguely like and understand that series, so why would I play a worse version? The story and game world felt… incomplete when I played the game at launch. It’s probably my least liked Final Fantasy game, because while the premise of Noctis and his bros taking a trip is quite cool, I dislike playing it a great deal.
I have one major problem though: I don’t particularly like Final Fantasy XV. I really should’ve done this during the “Make It Rain” event. And hey, maybe I’ll win the Jumbo Cactpot lottery and never have to grind for MGP again. That should be a breeze thanks to the excellent help from the illustrious Kaiyoko Star, who puts together comprehensive best-in-slot guides for the glamour event each week. I’m also going to jump in on the Fashion Report for the first time this week. And yet, there are still more avenues I want to explore to keep stacking MGP. One hard day at the grind brought me to around 100,000 MGP, and I’ve taken subsequent days easier. Up until I discovered it, I had no clue there were Triple Triad competitors around Eorzea! A whole new world for me to get obsessed with. The card game is easy to get into and understand, making it far more enjoyable than some of its mini-game counterparts. And one day I’ll finally complete “The Slice is Right” and overcome the vicious blade and unpredictable AOEs of the wandering mercenary Yojimbo.Īnd the shining horizon that is Triple Triad has opened itself to me. I’ve unlocked Lord of Verminion and Doman Mahjong, and ultimately realized that both mini-games are absolutely not for me. Over the course of a few days, I’ve gone from being rather bad at jumping puzzles to a goddamn master of the Leap of Faith.
The Air force One rail shooter event is dead simple from the jump. But at the heart of it are GATEs - minigames that pop up in the Gold Saucer every 20 minutes and reward you with a decent chunk of MGP depending on how well you do. The road to gather MGP is real, and it is repetitive. Now that covering FFXIV is my full-time job, it was time to poke and prod at these smaller bits of the MMO. This gaudy playground was another aspect of FFXIV that I simply didn’t have enough time for with my previous lifestyle.
I have generally avoided the Gold Saucer, so this was my week to dive in wholeheartedly. It’s a bit pricey, but that’s not a difficult amount to obtain, especially given the five-week run for the event. The Regalia Type-G costs 200,000 MGP, a currency you can only win from minigames and special events in this casino-like playground. While Noctis’ outfit is available from the event quests, the mount is only available from the Ironworks Vendor in the Gold Saucer. You could also pick up his car, the Regalia, as a four-player mount for a hefty price, which is why I’m stuck in the Gold Saucer to begin with. Players had the chance to meet FFXV protagonist Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum in-game, play through a short questline, and collect his (iconic?) outfit as glamour. The event, “A Nocturne for Heroes,” originally ran in 2019 from April to May. I have done the Leap of Faith and Air Force One GATE events ad nauseam, played every minigame, struggled through Mahjong, and discovered the joy of Triple Triad all to frantically rack up precious Manderville Gold Saucer Points (MGP).Ī few years ago, there was a Final Fantasy XV collaboration event in Final Fantasy XIV, and it’s currently running again until October 18. Not really, but I’ve spent entirely too much time in the Gold Saucer in the past few days.
