Someone in another thread mentioned cards (altho, in a totally different context) and this gave me an idea. Is it late to implement something like that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=264wi-_YxmwIn FF8 universe/gameworld, Triple Triad was a popular game card you could play with almost anyone, win rare cards and fill in your collection or transform cards into nifty things later. I really loved this small addition to the game series (later it evolved into Tetra Mist in FF9). Any chance we can see something like that in D:OS? I'm not talking about some primitive dice-rolling game, a-la Two Worlds, I'm talking about the min-game that repays for your effort and dedication later. Just like some kind of unspoken sidequest - it is not just enough to play it, sometimes you will have to find the person to play with, and only he/she has rare card. Or may be, with your social skills (convince/intimidation), you can turn a deadly encounter with some menacing villain boss into a card fight (and thus get a chance to win something rare)? Ah, the opportunities.
That would be really awesome and it would add some depth to the setting and gameworld.
