What did you like most about the Gold Saucer?
Now that the Gold Saucer has been brought to Final Fantasy XIV, I thought it would be a good time to look back on some of our favorite Final Fantasy VII moments.
This isn't restricted to mini-games, if you liked going on a date with Barret you can talk about that, as well.
First, some music to set the mood:
- The date with Tifa while Words Drowned by Fireworks plays. Very beautiful moment overall and it also lets you get a good feel of the atmosphere in the Gold Saucer itself.
- During the date as well, the part where Tifa gets angry when you mess up the play and hits you and then hits the dragon. Very funny.
- Dio, quite a figure isn't he?
- The wonder square, it really gave you this feel of an actual arcade.
- I like the theme as well, it really sets the mood for the place.
- And the minigames, of course, I really liked them and while some are more fun than others, I found none of them annoying or tedious to play. My favorites are probably G-Bike, Torpedo Attack, Chocobo Racing and Battle Arena.
The dread, hopelessness and despair of the prison.
..Uh, I mean the kupo nut game, of course.
The musicone of my favorite songs in the whole game!
That roller-coaster game! Over 6000 every time baby!
How oddly satisfying it is to race chocobos and get all the items. If you have a gold one, you can even destroy Teioh's black chocobo in a race. I also love what a fever dream both courses are, and how colorful they get. Ah, gives me that comfort gaming feeling.
The music, the Wonder Square and the date with Tifa.
Leaving
I was never a huge fan of Gold Saucer. I didn't feel that it fit thematically with all the other areas of the game.

You mean the game that invented the "playable movie" genre? We can blame Mog House for the creation of such titles as Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.Originally Posted by Aerith's Knight

It may have been a fun diversion, but it was something that should have remained a single incarnation. The impact it had on the gaming world has ruined it, in my mind.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

The Speed Square, the Chocobo Square, and the Wonder Square. Though, I will admit, that when I was younger I loved the Wonder Square because at the time, I thought I'd grow up to be a Games Designer, so it was inspirational to me at the time (I thought I'd make "updated" versions of the games they had).
Battle Square is fun, even if I don't really have the Battle Points figured out.
I'm a little torn between Chocobo Races and Battle Square. I loved the music, too, but that's a given in any Final Fantasy. If I was forced to choose... I'd go with Chocobo Races, but only just.
