so blitz ball

got confirmed, kinda
http://gamerescape.com/2017/02/18/fr...ss-conference/

Yeah. Not really. They would like to do it in the future... sometime... possibly... maybe.
In gaming terms that's basically a no. He would like to do it, so there's hope. Confirmed? No chance.

Come on now Producer Yoshida and Square Enix, swimming and diving and Ivalice!?...

Everything is set for two things here, Blitzball and Viera as a new race!... :)

Don't turn yet another unrelated thread into one asking for waifu fapbait bunnygirls.

I personally would not like to be a 'bunny' myself but that doesn't mean I take issue with them being mentioned by people who would. Lighten up a bit!

Yay for Bunny girl fans! :)

I am waiting for them to officially announce it, and then see Yoshi say, " Please look forward to it!!!"

Personally I rather have them focus more on making bigger raids, or primals or more dungeon content. Its just whenever they spend a lot of time on a mini game people only play it a few times before its forgotten, like chocobo racing, verminion for example.

This.

They have spent the better part of two years desperately trying to funnel people into the Gold Saucer and the only thing that worked was an event doubling all the MGP rewards. I certainly won't root against Blitzball. Perhaps this is the one they get right. I just suspect it all go the way of every other mini game.

There's S T I L L a chance for DNC to be announced!

When? There are no more fan fests. The best you get is this:

"Currently there are no plans for a third job. Of course, there are a lot of people, myself included who are looking forward to new jobs. Creating an unbalanced job or ruining existing balance is something we don’t wanna do. We’ll revamp the system in 4.0, balance it, then maybe we’ll make another job."

Which is Yoshi P being grossly optimistic at best, and politely declining at worst.

Look, we ALL know Miqo'te Paradise will come out before Blitzball. Please understand wait warmly.

From a Japanese businessman talking to his customer base that is about as definite a NO as you are going to get.

Sounds less like a "Confirmation" and more just a statement of intent.

And just cause they intend to put Blitzball in at some point, doesn't mean they will. Yoshi-P says that they want to strike a balance between the original FFX mini-game, and something more in line with the designs and gameplay of XIV. Just cause he says he would like to do this, doesn't mean they ever actually will find this compromise and put it in the game. Would be nice, but no guarantee.

We have had some ideas talking to the media about a special room like Miqo’te Paradise where you pay $50 and go in and have some fun with Miqo’te. We’ve brought this up with the designers on our team… so far no one has raised their hand saying they want to make it yet.

That's just disappointing. No one? Really? No one wants to make it?

Knowing this community, it's difficult to tell...

Uh, yeah no. Blitzball was a nightmare in 10.
I absolutely do not feel the slightest need for it in 14, but I'm sure it will happen anyways.

To be fair, in his comments, Yoshi-P kind of (Politely) acknowledged that FFX Blitzball was crap.

Don't call Blitzball crap, it really was in FFX-2 but the original thing from Final Fantasy X was the best mini-game any FF game has ever had, it would work great in FFXIV and there are many ways to play it, single player vs. AI, players vs. players!...

There's more to Blitzball than just the game itself, there's NPC and in FFXIV's case there could also be player's recruiting, besides tournaments so even if Yoshi-P said the game is crap truth is it's far from it!... :cool:

I could go for blitz ball more so gives MGP be better then the current ways to gain some most of the games are boring and the tournaments flop since triple mostly filled with win traders well was anyway and no one seem to do verminion be a new way to earn some MGP

Can we just say "NO!" To Blitzball in FF14?

I'd rather see it as a standalone game than see it have anything at all to do with FF14. As someone was very fond of pointing out in that massive jump potion thread, dev time is not infinite. I'd much rather see dev time spent on something meaningful to the game, rather than the next Lords of Verminion or Chocobo Racing or Triple Triad - things that people generally don't do after a week or two. A few more MSQ, a few more side quests, an additional Trial, anything but another "popular for a week and ignored forever after" piece of content.

I'd prefer Huttball, myself :)

I think it would be fun if Blitzball could be a new PVP mode instead of a gold saucer addition (where killing is not the objective but blocking/attacking is part of the game).

This person understands. Huttball was so good in SWTOR. I really wish more MMOs did this.

they said that they are working on it and want to do it right. when we get i don't know but we should be getting it in the 4.X series.

They said they were working on snowboarding shortly after they added the gold saucer, so maybe by like 7.0 we can have blitzball.
