It is once again the time...

:skull::skull::skull::skull: BLITZ BALL! This game sucks more than any other mini-game in video game history. I didn't even understand how to play tetra master and it was better!

They show you this bad ass opennig to blitz ball with people kicking all sorts of ass all over the place. Then you go to play it an it just is like "The :skull::skull::skull::skull: is this bullhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif?" You can't move freely or do anything that is with in the relm of logic. Wanna pass the ball to the guy behind you?

You can't because the guy in front of you some how gets to block that despite the fact that ball is not going anywhere near them.

If you didn't like this one, don't even bother trying FFX2's version. It's even worse.

[kikimm]

I'm glad that I was only forced to play once. And yes, that as bad enough, but I think I came out...unscathed.


:D

Hmph, lucky you. I'm a perfectionist. I not only had to play enough to get all of Wakka's limit breaks and his Sigil, I made myself win that first game. That was a royal pain in the @$$.

[Coley]

Same for me... I made myself win that first game; in a couple of my games I beat it right away, but another time it took me like 4 times before I won. ugh. As for playing the rest of the game for Wakka's weapon... I tried, but oh man, blitzball become sooo boring annoying.

[Dking'squeen]

On X, I just sat there, wondering wtf I was supposed to do. I didn't understand, and when I did, I forgot in 3.2 seconds, so no luck there. I don't even think that I won. I lost and usually, I'd turn the game off and try again, but with this, I was just like http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif it. And then on X-2...I didn't even attempt to waste my time.

[Yuffie514]

better to watch/avoid than play :mad2: :jap: .

[Dking'squeen]

agreed

[Cybele]

I used to really hate Blitzball because I sucked at it. But then I got Tidus' Jecht Shot and started winning, then I liked it a lot more. The one in FFX-2 sucks though, I haven't figured out how to actually play instead of just watch them play and they always lose. :mad: I couldn't put up with it enough to get the extra % that I would've gotten from it.

[Fantasy_Dragon]

Yeah, I hated it too. Whenever I shot, the ball would be kicked UNDER the players in front of me...somehow...BLOCKED THE DARN BALL! It took my over 10 tries to beat it. It's really unfair too. Glitchy...man, the FMV is awesome, but you never get to block like they do.

Don't even get me started on FFX-2...I played for a couple of seconds and quit. BORING AS CRAP.

[tailz]

you dont control them muwhahahaha you can change that so you CAN move freely just a matter of adjusting the configs of blitzball

no thx needed i know im wodnerfull

brr trowhs up

muwhahahahaha

[Old Manus]

I found blitzball to be very annoying after a while. I ended up making myself play two games a day, then do something else, just to get the sigil.

And FFX-2 was bad enough without making a complete rubbish version of blitzball.

P.S How many of these damn threads do we need?

[chilpepper]

Its annoying, end off.
U need nerves of steel to get Wakka's sigil..

[Zante]

I liked it, althoug I couldn't keep playing for 40 games, that's definitely too much.

[Spiffing Cheese]

I hate blitzball... it just sucks that you have to play it to get Wakka's celestial weapon. :mad2:

[rubah]

It's fun in a repetitive sort of way.

I got my way to the jupiter sigil by just trying to level up all the coolest players in the back-- Jassu, Shuu, and Datto:D

who cares about biggs and wedge?

Wait... it counts for completion points?!!!! :mad:

[Cybele]

Well, it's listed on the airship as one of the missions, so I'm assuming it does.

[Spammerman]

U can move freely

[rubah]

It doesn't count for completion.

Unless I had some extra from the second game. I never bothered with it.

[Maya]

It´s nice to hear that I´m not the only one who didn´t understand that game.
It really sucks.
I thought that it might be a great game because it had so long rules etc.. and then...
it turn out to be something really terrible.
*Huh*

[Fireblade13]

I actually liked blitzball in X. Sure Nimrook is beyond annoying to get throughbut All my charecters are the best with starting stats. 1st game was retarded the Aurochs suck.

[SeeDRankLou]

I liked Blitzball. I thought it was fun, not the funnest thing in the world, but fun enough. When you have no more techs to copy, then it can get kind of boring. But I was only at level 30ish when I got the Jupiter Sigil and had only gotten all the key techs for Tidus, Keepa and Botta, so I never got bored with it. I can imagine that if I kept playing to a point where there were no more techs to copy and I was just blitzing, then it would get old.

You can get my Nimrook by withering him, or with the Jecht Shot right by him, and the Sphere Shot sometimes works as well.

[Cuchulainn]

I loved Blitzball. One man's meat is another's poison I suppose. Blitzball in X-2 was utterly, utterly &^%&^%* Though. Hated it.

[DMKA]

The FFX-2 one is horrendous.

I think Blitzball is neat myself, I just suck horribly at it and hate playing it because I don't understand it and it takes forever.

And since when can you not move freely in blitzball? O__o

[Cuchulainn]

lol..the fact that you never knew you could move freely could be why you sucked at it. You press, i think, square or triangle when you are in possesion n chose Manual 1 or 2, the difference is only the camera angle, stick to 1. You have an amazing freedom of action n that's when you can start owning.

[Sasquatch]

What all do you have to do to get the Sigil and Wakka's weapon, or whatever the hell else you can get from blitzball?

I kinda like it. This is the first time I've played X, and it seems alright to me. It's kinda weird that it's in the save spheres, though, so you can be in the middle of trying to get out of some fiend-infested forest and be like "hey, what the hell, I could go for a game".

[Cuchulainn]

You need to first win 'Attack Reels' which comes up as a Tournament prize, then Status Reels & Auroch Reels which both come up as League prizes unless I'm very much mistake, then the League prizes should be his sigil. The reload trick is your friend here.
Before looking at the Blitzball prizes (and menu) save, then go, see if it has any you need, if not, reload, check & continue. For the League prizes you dont get a choice, if you go to the blitrzball menu it automatically goes to league, so as soonm as you finish the first one, dont continue, go out of the Blitz menu & save & repeat above. It saves a hell of a lotta time, I mean, I liked Blitz, but not THAT much.

[DJZen]

Not the best minigame of all time, but I liked Blitzball a lot. It reminded me of Tecmo Cup Soccer. It's an RPG. This means it does not happen in real time. You don't really think that Seymour would just sit there letting Tidus carefully figure out what attack to use, do you? Of course not! RPG combat is meant to be representational. Even in FFXI you can watch your sword go right through an enemy only to have the phrase "MISS!" taunt you.

Only thing I didn't like about Blitzball is that it's not well paced, but otherwise it's pretty fun to completely dominate the Ronso Fangs and the Kilika Beasts. It needed tweaking, but it was a good start.
