In case you were wondering, yes it is possible for one GATE to occur in back to back timeslots. – Leap of Faith (The Falling City of Nym) – Leap of Faith (The Falling City of Nym) :40 (40 minutes past the hour) – Leap of Faith (The Fall of Belah’dia) :20 (20 minutes past the hour) They’ll even teleport you to the square it’ll be held in. You can confirm with a GATE Keeper which specific GATE is coming up next as soon as the previous GATE is over. In each time slot there are three possible GATEs that can occur, but you don’t have to wait until it spawns to know what it’s going to be. Speak to a GATE Keeper NPC and they will teleport you to the location of the GATE Client. Hover over the icon in the minimap to see how much time is remaining on the event. If you’re in the Gold Saucer while a GATE is active, it will show on your minimap with an icon and directional indicator, much like a FATE will in the overworld. GATEs occur three times an hour: on the hour, 20 minutes past, and 40 minutes past. For most of them you and your friends can all participate alongside each other which can be a lot of fun. However, only one of the GATEs is an actual solo instanced duty. You compete as an individual against the ‘house’, and not against other players. They’re part of the weekly challenge log, so completing enough of them awards even more MGP and works towards some challenge log gil as well. Gold Saucer Active Time Events (GATEs) are fun minigames which allow you an opportunity to win a decent amount of MGP with a quick activity.
