Thread: What do you think of the Blitzball idea?

  1. #1

    Default What do you think of the Blitzball idea?

    What do you think about blitzball in Final Fantasy X? Was it good to put in? It's kind of like Quittich for Harry Potter.

    I hated it, most likely because I suck at it. I suppose to someone who enjoys it and is good at it, would like it.

    Unfortunately for me, It's the only way for Wakka to get more overdrives and his ultimate weapon...

    I don't know what other people think about it, but I would guess most people hate it? A mini game in an FF should be something easy to pick up, it should be fast, and fun. I tried blitzball like, twice, and I just didn't get it- and it didn't seem potentially fun enough for me to actually go through the boredom of learning how to play it well. It was a good idea, different from the card games, that's for sure, but I was just incredibly bored while playing it.

    I was bored as well. I think iys a great idea to add in a sport but I could never learn how to play and I made Tidus, the great Blitzball player, play like he never had held a blitzball in his life.

    The idea was a very very good one. The controls that went along with it however left something to be desired. It got a little boring after a while.

    I loved the game. Actually, on my first playthrough, I have over 150 hours gameplay. Not because I spent ages levelling up, but because I spent ages playing Blitzball. But I have to agree... after playing so much Blitzball that Wakka has received his World Champion and final overdrive in two saves, I am getting a lii-iitle bit weary.

    I like it. I enjoyed playing it, but once I've got the jupiter sigil, I never play it again unless I'm really really bored...

    I personnally didnt like it. After the one time in the game that you have to play Blitzball i never went near, not even for Wakka's overdrives and weapon. Who needs them anyway, i can still kick butt in the fiend arena place and i dont have dark aeons in my game .

    I loved it. Well, as soon as I got the hang of it I loved it. Its one of my fave FF mini games. I'm not really into sports, but Blitzball would be the one sport that I would be into if it was real. But yeah, I really liked it and when I am in the mood for it I usually play it.

    It's a good enough idea for a game, but i didn't like being forced to play it. I'm not into those kinda games (kinda like footie games) so i got it over and done with and havn't gone back since

    I like it. It somehow a renew version of Quidditch and Football. Don't hate them if you don't like it, try and practice to reach victory. Blitzball is a great sidequest that FFX created.

    look_out_below, what if your game have dark aeons? My game have dark aeons and it almost like chaotic for me to return to certain places that have the aeons. Wakka's overdrives really help much
