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.

Blitzball owns Quidditch

Blitzball is an awesome minigame. Yes, it takes quite a bit of tutorial reading and practice to get the hang of it, but it was a fantastic idea for a minigame. The Scouting system gave it a "real sport business" feel, as you can scout and recruit, and pay them salary to bolster your team.

Its only downfall, as already mentioned, is that you have to log so much time playing to get Wakka's Jupiter Sigil. The number of games required to play should have been far less.

Blitzball like Quiditch? More like water polo, played under water, because of the tackling and passing by throwing the ball. Then add in kicking to shoot the ball, and its almost a cross between water polo and soccer (football). Then its like ice hockey with the number of players used (1 centreman who takes the blitzoff which is like a faceoff, 2 wingers, 2 defence and a goalie).

I thought Quiditch was a freakin' ridiculous game , but that's just me. Its kind of stupid that the efforts of the team can be pretty much pointless is the Seeker is successful.

Me too!

Take the "must find Seeker" rule away and end the games when any team scores 200 (for example) and it actually gets enjoyable... As it is you can have a score of 700 X 0 and still be stuck playing a match until the darn seeker is found!

It's cool in theory, but the execution as a stat-based, chess-a-thonish mini game was less cool. I wanted to knock opponents out of the sphere a la the starting movie. Seriously if they did Blitz like THAT in-game it would have made FF10 near-perfect.

personally, i loved the idea, even if its a little farfetched. though there is an underwater basketball thing!?

It was good they should put it in.

Well I can say it was awesome and probably much better than the other entertainment such as the triple traid card and others. Blitzball is kinda like a football but underneath the water which makes it cool I guess.

yea thats true

Haha. We all are differently opinionated.

On my first game, I never understood Blitzball. I only played it again at the part before you enter Mt. Gagazet and there I got to know the rules and got hooked! IMO it's very addictive!

My boyfriend can score a goal from the other end of the Sphere Pool with just an ordinary shot. How high his shoot power could have been...?
