Leap of Faith
Any Way the Wind Blows
Guide
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.
Description
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
Guide
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.
- You can re-start the activity by speaking to the NPC.
Description
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
Guide
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, you have to identify subtle differences among them to find the impostor. The differences can be anything from facial features, to their shoes, hats, weapons, etc. You have a lot of time to complete this so don't rush it till your completely sure, and if people are crowding the NPC you can select them and take a closer look to have an uninterrupted view.
- Note that you cannot restart the activity if you fail.
Description
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
Guide
This GATE involves NPCs who perform four random emotes, and you have to remember the pattern and perform them in the same order. Note that the emotes aren't shown as text, so you need to watch the NPCs. This is repeated four times, and you need to execute at least ten successful emotes.
