GATEs

GATEs or Gold Saucer Active Time Events are special, FATE-like events within the Gold Saucer. These events consist of mini-games that pit the players against each other.

Events

Any Way the Wind Blows

The mission statement of the Gold Saucer's founder, Godbert Manderville, states that all are welcome to seek employment at the Gold Saucer, regardless of race, nation, or creed. It's even said a kindly voidsent has joined their ranks after an aborted gladiatorial career. If you believe you can withstand his gale-force nasal eruptions, seek out the thaumaturge in Event Square!

Cliffhanger

The stage is set: high atop a lofty locale, a wayward chocobo chick with a wont for wanderlust chirps out in distress. Are you adventurer enough to brave the heights and rescue the frightened hatchling from its feather-raising plight!?

Skinchange We Can Believe In

Imps, imps, everywhere! With the Gold Saucer suffering from an imp infestation, the management recruited a contingent of adventurers to purge the voidsent pests. To their dismay, the imps transformed themselves into the spitting images of their would-be hunters and dashed off into the crowds! Can you identify friend from foe quickly enough to put an end to the two-faced threat!?

The Time of My Life

Do you dance a mean Manderville? Is your Bomb Dance positively explosive? At the Gold Saucer, we are ever looking to shine the spotlight on the finest young dancers in Eorzea! Prove yourself on the grand stage and it just might be your first step into Ul'dahn high society.

Vase Off

En route to the Gold Saucer: a shipment of priceless Thorne Dynasty vases. The Jolly Raptor has been entrusted with the delivery, but the shipping conglomerate has reason to believe that a band of unscrupulous brigands has set their sights on the cargo. Are you stealthy and surreptitious enough to deliver the goods to their destination while steering clear of the bandits' greedy gaze?

Stuff

Any Way the Wind Blows - Players walk around the stage area and find a place to stand, and Typhon will appear after a notification appears on the screen telling you not to move. Any players caught up in his Snort AoE attack will be blown off the stage, and points will be divided up between those players who are left on the stage at the end. This is a game simply based on luck.

The next one involves NPCs who perform eight random emotes, and you have to remember the pattern and perform them in the same order.

There is also a game where you have to rescue a chocobo that climbed up to a high spot. Bombs will fall around you and if you get caught in the blast you’ll fall off and have to start from the beginning again.

There’s also a game where you have to carry easily breakable pots to a certain location.

A tag game where you have to carry pots without being spotted by enemies that are trying to break them

A game where you have to hunt for an imp that is disguised exactly the same as an NPC. There will be a lot of NPCs that look nearly identical, but at the highest difficulty, you’ll have to look for subtle differences such as the muscle tone of similar-looking Highlanders.
