Gold Saucer
Overview
Gold Saucer is a vast amusement complex suspended above the Corel Desert. Its themed zones include the Battle Square, Chocobo Square, Wonder Square, Speed Square, Ghost Square, Event Square, and Round Square. The area combines major story scenes with minigames, prizes, GP currency, arena battles, and optional character events. Access initially requires the cable car from North Corel, and later visits unlock additional rewards and dating variations. Gold Saucer is one of the game's largest optional-content hubs.
