Out next week, Final Fantasy XIV’s latest interim content update Patch 2.51 will see the introduction of its own version of Final Fantasy VII’s Gold Saucer theme park. Dubbed the Manderville Gold Saucer, Eorzea’s establishment was created by the family of the same name.

Housed within, players will be able to take part in chocobo racing, various mini-games and FFXIV’s own version of Triple Triad – the classic card game from Final Fantasy VIII. There are no requirements to enjoy the Gold Saucer – Square Enix has designed it so you’ll be able to start playing as soon as the Patch is live. Once inside you’ll be able to win your way to a collection of extraordinary prizes including Fenrir and Adamantoise mounts as well as equipment rewards such as a bunny outfit for the girls and a Setzer (FF6) garb for anyone.

Square Enix has outlined several of the activities available at launch:

Chocobo Racing/Chocobo Raising & Covering
Saddle up atop a majestic bird and go roaring down the turf to be crowned the fleetest in all of Eorzea! Chocobo racing, or “the sport of sultans”, as some have taken to calling it, is an experience like none other.
Even the best bird has its limits, so what’s a trainer to do when their chocobo reaches theirs? Arrange a “covering”, a union between two retired veterans to produce fledglings of a higher pedigree.

Triple Triad
You and an opponent are locked in single combat – the five cards in your hand your sole weapon and your wits alone will help guide you to victory or defeat. This is Triple Triad, the gaming phenomenon that’s swept Eorzea!

Cactpot
The Cactpot comes in two varieties, Mini and Jumbo. Both involve the simple act of purchasing a ticket, which has the potential to yield a fortune of MGP. With the potential to be highly lucrative, adventurers are encouraged to enter early and often. As they like to say, “You need to be in it to win it!”

Mini Attractions
In addition to chocobo racing and Triple Triad, the Gold Saucer hosts several minigames for your entertainment. Simple yet captivating, you can never have too much time to enjoy these mini-attractions.

G.A.T.E.
While enjoying the sights and sounds of the Gold Saucer, adventurers may happen upon audience-participatory events known as Gold Saucer Active Time Events, or GATEs. Why not join in the revelry with your comrades by seeking out a nearby GATE client?

Patch 2.51 will launch on February 24th and will be followed by the second part of the main scenario content, Before the Fall, toward the end of March.
