Tetra Master is better. xD Didn't see the whole pull with Triple Triad, as I could get through the game just fine even without all of the prizes. The rules and the general game itself just confused me, which wasn't so with Tetra Master, which was actually fun.
Still, nothing will ever be as bad as Blitzball.
Triple Triad was amazingly simple, numbers 1 - 9 and A, A beats all numbers of higher value beat others turn on 4 axis, walls = A always.... and simplicity worked for it. With Tetra master it got too complex, turn on up to 8 axis, attack and defence ratings even I couldn't figure out (I spent probably in excess of 100 hours on Triple Triad removing all the rules in the game bar Open, All, Same wall. A lengthy process but awesome to use, same wall cannot work without same so it's effectively removed from play meaning "open" and "all" are the only 2 rules in play anywhere) I liked Tetra master to a degree and managed eventually to find cards I could win multiple games with but there was no bonus to doing it other than the black-jack game at the end with Vivi.
Heroes and Holy Wars, yeah. If you beat the CC group on Disc 3, you can challenge Diamond on the Ragnarok after Time Compression and win any rare cards you missed/modded. Modding 'em automatically adds them to Diamond's inventory, so you can win the cards back over and over.Originally Posted by strawberryman
And yes, Triple Triad is undoubtedly the most addictive mini-game ever.
HA? I never tried it...
The first time I played FF8 I really hate card games (Because I hated card games in real life also years ago).
After I repeat it once or twice, I changed my mind.
It is fun, challenging, and quite simple.
But, the minigames I like is Blitzball, I think it is the greatest minigames in FF.
i found it boring, and it's convenient that if you don't like it, you don't have to play it....like FF8 itself, which i also quit.
Yes. They were sold as Final Fantasy VIII cards. You got like fifteen of varying types of cards having to do with the game. Four of them would be Triple Triad cards. So, if you were good at the game, and you knew people that were buying a lot, all you had to buy were two packs. I bought about ten packs before I realized the guy who was selling them to me was a big collector that called himself an expert player. I challenged him to a series of games with all the rules in effect, trade rules all) and didn't lose a game. I just kept taking his cards, five at a time, until he had one card left. I don't remember what it was, but it was one he wasn't willing to give up and one I never obtained. I still bought cards until they were no longer available and I'm still missing a few cards. Half of the player cards and cards here and there in the rest of the deck. If you have them and you want to play...
I LOVE TRIPLE TRIAD
I never got the hang of Tetra Master...and Blitzball was kinda fun...but I totally sucked at it....
It's fun if there's no Random rule in effect.
Also, I can't imagine paying money for actual Triple Triad cards. They're actually less useful than ingame cards and those are free. Unless someone out there has a Quezacotl.
I printed mine ftw
Couldn't you also play Terra Master in real life? And Blitzball?
...Hang on, I'll get back to you on that one.
Money, power, sex... and elephants.

In Triple Triad, I got every single card except:
PuPu
Irvine
Kiros
Doomtrain
Phoenix
This is due to that stupid Queen of Cards Quest, which I couldn't keep up with!
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
That's something I'm going to try and master this play though. The Queen of Cards Quest that is.
When I got far enough in FFVII that all I had to do was beat Sephiroth (literally! I done *everything* else I could on my first game bar any Aeris stuff) I spent hours in the gold saucer playing mini games.
When FFVIII came out I followed a guide that told me how to play Triple Triad, the basics, but I never got into the game untill close to the end, so I didnt have any weird rules to get rid of apart from random (ugh!) and I really got into it. I think I had most cards and every special card (gfs, characters) eventually other than I think, Shiva, because I didnt give the magazine to the guy on the boat.
Yes, Triple Triad kicked arse, I could never get into FFIX's Tetra master, I just wasnt good at it, I despise Blitzball and the only way I could get 100% in FFX-2 was by using an online guide to beat Shinra at Sphere break.
Triple Triad beat them all hands down as I havent done any mini games in FFXII yet.
I'm a big fan of the Mars Bar Diet; You don't eat the Mars bar, you stick it up your arse and let a rottweiler chase you home.
I love Triple Triad on the one condition that the Plus rule isn't being used, as I lose way too many matches to perfect AI
Also, items from cards. No complaint there!
Plus and Same were awesome rules, I thought.
