    Bingo. I was so psyched about blitzball after the first scene. Then I get to Lucca and I'm thinkin' "Oh sweet, I get to play Blitzball!" Then I actually play and all I can think of is "What the hell is this crap?"

    I disagree. You don't even try to get Wakka's sigil, that's why you think it's boring because you never try to blitz a lot. I bet you need Attack Reels and World Champion to beat Penance and Dark Aeons.

    That's so not true... They move from right to left. AND you can go reverse too.

    Of course you don't need Wakka's sigil and ultimate weapon to finish the game. Its easy if you do any amount of levelling at all.

    Now if you want to beat all the monster arena, or the Dark Aeons for those with the International Version, you'll need Wakka's Ultimate Weapon (and Sigil of course).

    But I do agree, that getting that frickin' jupiter sigil requires FAR too many blitzball games. By that time, your team is so powerful you just totally annihilate everyone all the time, and there's no competition, making it completely boring after a while.

    Still my favorite minigame though.

    I think it is a pretty fun mini game and I was able to win it the first time in Luca.

    But I didn't play it ever since maybe underwater soccer is just not my kind of thing.

    i wouldn't say it sucks. it's just tedious and there's no variation in it.

    Your mistake here is that you think he gave a damn enough to do even that.

    I hear by proclaim Blitz ball to be the most retarded game on the planet. What the smurf is up with this [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] anyways. I go to pass to the person behind me and for some dumbass reason the guy in front of me can block the pass? How? For a game based around stratagy there sure is a lack of it. I can't call plays out on the field. I can't sub people in and out. I can't call a time out. You can't do anything. Hell....you can't even move in 3D space in the sphere this game is so [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty.

    The game is easy to play but the lack of effort, logic and strategy that goes into just ruins the whole thing beyond any other mini game ever.

    For other arguements on why blitz ball blows see the following threads.

    FFX is a game, of course, many unlogical things happen.
    FFX cannot do all of that, they need to think about other sidequest and storyline.
    You expect Square to compress all those logical things in FFX, please, Square better go and plan their next Final Fantasy besides FFX is already a good game.
