Final Fantasy XIV Update: Chocobo Racing, Big Lotteries and Card Games Added in Manderville Golden Saucer
The much anticipated update to Final Fantasy X1V: A Realm Reborn, patch 2.51, was released on Tuesday.
It features Chocobo Racing where players will have to race their birds on three courses, Triple Triad card game that was dropped after Final Fantasy VIII and Cactpot lotteries that carry big rewards among a host of other additions. Most importantly players will find additions at Manderville Golden Saucer, next time they boot the game, according to Kotaku.
"Adventurers fight tirelessly in service of the realm, but all work and no play makes for weary travelers. Patch 2.51 offers all the chance to relax in the Manderville Gold Saucer, an exciting new attraction now open to the masses! And those more martially-minded may wish to tap the true potential of their Zodiac Weapons! Whether you seek the arms of legend, the thrills of chocobo racing and Triple Triad, or the light-hearted fun of mini-games and group events, there's something for everyone in this latest update to Eorzea," the game's website pointed out.
Cinemablend terms Chocobo Racing as the most exciting addition to the MMO. Players will have to control their mounts as they race for bets across Sagolii Road, Costa del Sol and Tranquil Paths, the game's three courses available for now. They can also improve their birds' abilities and breed them for desired traits.
