What kind of reward ratios?
Is there a minigame that you can simply grind without thought (so not playing strategic games such as Triple Triad)? Just racing and not winning. Or just hitting the power block?
Like in Chrono Trigger when you can just fight Gato for Silver Points all day erryday.
I'd like to think there's enough variance in all of them that you can find one you enjoy doing to get those delicious MGP... but I'm sure someone will do the math eventually and say which one gives the highest constant reward for the least amount of effort. Like, finding out how to cheese the strength machine or something.
That's kind of a depressing thought, actually. If the game can be boiled down to something you could macro and then you just "push buttan, get MGP" while you watch a movie or something. On the other hand, it'd be nice to know if you just want to get to that 1M for the Fenrir mount.
Challenging other players to Triple Triad (at least with what little I've encountered so far) doesn't have a MGP fee like challenging NPCs does, so even if you lose you come out ahead. You can only challenge someone so many times, though, before your winnings gets cut down drastically (180 MGP to the winner down to 25 to the winner)... currently testing to see how long that cap lasts.
[[EDIT: Can only get the 180 five times per day... bummer...]]
GATEs, the only one I've managed to finish to the end (mainly because I keep getting called away for work), I got over 400MGP for. They can be a -bit- tricky because how busy the zone is and lag issues. I think they pop about every... half-hour or so?
I'm horrible with keyboard controls, but I was doing okay with Chocobo Racing. I placed 4th or better in four of the five races I did a little while ago. I wasn't getting SUPER AWESOME earnings through that, but I was at least coming out ahead.
