Blitzball

[Akuha]

I want it and I'm pretty sure we all want it.

No. Just... no.

A little of topic but does anyone have links to where its been confirmed that gold saucer is coming?

[XanderOlivieri]

its the golden saucer, not platinum.

There is a place in Uldah called Platinum Mirage that works like the gambling area. The NPC even says that they are working on opening their doors for the players.






Don't see a point to add in another area when we already have one not in use, especially when it says that its intended to be used in the future. From how it looks, Platinum Mirage is going to be our Gold Saucer (wasn't that the name of the one in FF7 anyway? Why carry over the name?)

If you want blitzball go play FFX.

Triple Triad? Go play VIII.

Tetra Master? IX...

Sphere break?...You get the idea.

I would love some non-combat pvp, (preferably a 1v1 card game while I'm waiting for my group to form.) but don't rehash stuff from old games. If I want to play those mini-games I'll just throw in THAT game.

Nobody in Eorzea can swim.

But we can surely learn now can't we.

This is definitely possible, and can be a major step-up from FFX's version in regards to pace and dynamism seeing how it'd be played using players over NPC's.

Of course though we'd need to overcome the hurdle in learning how to swim first of all, little less play a sport in it.

We will learn how to swim. One day when they introduce Bliztball lol

anyone who hated blitzball has no soul. That game was stupid fun.


In other news, FFX2.5 spoilers.


Tidus kicks a blitzball that happens to be a bomb. It blows his head off and he dies.


Google it. I wish i was joking.

Blitzball? Good god, no! That was one of the most horribly conceived, executed and paced minigames in the history of minigames. And the fixation that all of the characters in FFX had with it took away from the gravity of the situation to the point that it was ridiculous. What, the world's ending, we have to go on a quest to save it... okay, but I'm not missing the blitzball tournament... yeah, great plot writing there...

Actually, blitzball was pretty well written into FFX's storyline.

In any other random story it'd be some lame ceremony or something to boost the morale of the people.
