I enjoyed blitzball, at least until it came time to try and get Wakka's celestial weapon. Then I learned to dislike it. Whatever your opinion on blitzball, though, at least it beats the pants off of triple triad and tetra master. I will say at least that it was bad form to include a forced match in the main storyline; both for blitzball, and tetra master in 9.

Gotta disagree with you there; what FF13 attempts to pass off as sidequests is worse. Couldn't even be bothered to attempt them. FF12 wasn't much better in this regard, either, although at least the fight with Gilgamesh was freaking awesome.
