Patch 2.51 has hit Square Enix's ever-growing MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, bringing with it a large batch of content additions to the already bursting game in the form of the Manderville Gold Saucer.
Based on the Gold Saucer amusement park from Final Fantasy VII, the new area houses many of the MMO’s newest diversions, including the awesome Chocobo racing mini-event. Also part of the update is Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad card game, which houses a set of 80 cards for player to collect and battle in PvE and PvP environments.
For Chocobo racing players will be able to breed and race a variety of specialised chocobo against other players, gaining rewards for their efforts. Mini-games are also making an appearance in this week's update, including ones such as The Moogle’s Paw crane game and the Crystal Tower Striker mallet game, that earn players the new MGP currency. This currency will be used much like in Final Fantasy VII for buying items such as Adamantoise and Fenrir mounts or an outfit based on Final Fantasy VI's Setzer.
