Yoshi hints at blitzball and FF15 event

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/05/2...utm_content=26

Looks like we may soon get Blitzball in game as well as a launch event for FFXV

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

They need to implement swimming animations before I think this will happen. Was there any update if this will happen?

I saw "Lightning collaboration" in that article and all my contained hype started to very quickly evaporate for some reason...

anyway BLITZBALL YEAH

Ew, I really hope not...

Next we need to add a job called a brawler... Basically Wakka. Someone who will use their balls. Quiet literally....

But they don't throw their balls in people's faces as their primary weapon/attack.

Both would be nice, Blitzball arena could fit very well into Gold Saucer.

As for a FF15 event, if it is a one-time only (as it should), there'll be ppl crying every month or so for the event to come back just as it already happens with the Lightning Returns event (which was supposed to be a "one-time event" but it has been put up at least 3 maybe 4 times as of now).

It was put up twice. Once for Jp release once for NA/EU release.

thats not the definition of a brawler tho

Ugh...honestly hated Blitzball...but I wont complain if they add it. I'm sure a lot of people will love it! But...like TT, it'll be one of those things I gently ignore.

This will probably come for 4.0 when they do the underwater stuff.

I'm 100% sure it happened more than twice.
There was at least a 3rd time, at ARR 1 year "birthday" iirc.

And then one more time during the anniversary events last year.

Swimming animations can easily be included for the sole use in a Blitzball arena. Remember that, with 3.0, 3-dimensional movement is a thing now. The same control functions can easily be translated for use in water since both are fluid environments (air is just less dense = faster movement). All one would need is just modified animations since all the physics are already done. Even if it's not overworld swimming, it's not out of the realm of possibility for a Gold Saucer sport since SE did all the work for 3D movement to be included in Heavensward.

this idea would be amazing blitzball like people have said could go in a new wing of the Gold saucer and with blitzbal the up coming flying mount controls would work perfectly to move around in 3d space in a blitzball stadium can see fc playing other fc for mgp

and for the FF15 event with the demo we seen that could bring some nice weapons in aswell as new glamour gear but make it a one off event this time as with the lighting one i know that should of been twice with the game releases in japan and the western world or make the items buy able in the mog shop and later date

They may already have swimming animations, Yoshi said that for 3.0 they were going back and forth on whether they should add flying or swimming, but ultimately decided to go with flying. Who's to say though how far they took the swimming idea before they shelved it.

Blitzball was the bane of ff10 for me, trying to get that wakka weapon.. UGH. Was really bad at it, but somehow I feel it would be surprisingly better in FF14 as we could get more movement and playstyle.

This has me tentatively excited. I loved Blitzball in X! But I also loved TT in VIII but I feel like it's implementation in XIV left much to be desired.

Yes please! I loved Blitzball in X, if they do decide to add it in, hopefully they do it justice!

Blitzball was one of THE best things for me in X (and left me very dissapointed in X-2 with what they did.) So I'm hyped for this! Of course there might be enough changes to make it not quite as fun, but hey, as long as it isn't us being the couch I think I can deal.

Until more development is shown, throw this among the FC primal summons and other stuffs that were mentioned and never implemented.

YES YES YES YES! What would be awesome is if we could either recruit NPCs to make our own Blitz teams, or recruit fellow players to make teams for leagues :D Or both options with their own separate leagues, that way no one is pigeon-holed.

As for FFXV I'm equally excited at the idea. Judging from the "let's play" videos I've seen, FFXV has taken a lot of positive cues from FFXIV. So I feel that the potential event battles would work well.

It was put up again after that for the anniversary too if I remember correctly.

3.0 - Flying
4.0 - Swimming

I'd be down for that!

Also, there's far too little collaboration events :/ so I'm glad we'll be getting a 4-seater car mount (lol just imagine)

I'd have to wait and see how it's added if it's added. Would also be kind of cool to have a spectator mode. Honestly I wish there was a spectator mode for chocobo races, that way I could have proper tournaments for my FC when it came to preliminaries and such without me having to have to be in the race.

Super thrilled. I haven't touched chocobo racing, and only played a bit of triple triad, but if Blitzball came out I'd play it ALL the time. I loved that game.

edit: plz plz plz make two options to play it. PC vs NPC and PC TEAM vs PC TEAM! Basically blitzball PvP. YESSSSSSSSSSS!

I hated Blitzball in X & X-2 (aka Pretty, Pretty Dress-Up). I'd rather they not add that monstrosity of a minigame, but if they do it will be one thing that I will NOT unlock. That's how much I dislike blitzball.

Yes, spectating is a must. Too many games have PVP available but doesn't let people in to watch it. That would be an awesome FC outing to go cheer for your favorite team.

As much as it probably wont happen, i would die of happiness if blitzball didnt become instanced so people could sit around the arena watching other people play.

Edit:

Basicly what dreadrabbit said *dam ninjas*

Maybe they can have weekly tournaments which people can watch (if showing regular BB PvP is too much for the servers to handle). Have ten (or whatever is reasonable) instances at a time. List them on a board and allow people to enter and watch.

edit:
I can see issues with this idea - like having to sign up. It would probably be worse than the marriage system when it first came out. But it's the best idea I can come up with, lol. >.<

I do. Don't even need to be on MNK to do it, either.

If we get Blitzball in this game, I would be extremely happy. While I disliked the actual play mechanics in FFX for it, I can see it working much better in here, especially if we can form static teams rather than relying on NPCs. I also just love the concept of it, and the cinematics for it in X always made it look awesome. If it was a real sport, it would be the only one I would be actually interested in watching.....

Well, if we're gonna start Blitzing around here, we're gonna have to cover the basics, ya? Funny team names like those Alamighan Psyches or Garlean Goers. Ridiculous outfits are a must too man. And someone needs to become so abhorrently good and create a <Name> Shot MK.III as an Audience hooker.

Nah seriously though, this could be interesting.
