Yoshi hints at blitzball and FF15 event

[Gamer3427]

Might be hard for Blitzball to be a thing in Eorzea, because apparently in Spira, all the humans could breathe water. You swam like it was nothing in that game, so i can only assume drowning was impossible.

It was just that all the Blitzball players had spent years learning to hold their breath for particularly long periods of time, (Rikku as well since she often scavenged underwater locations). While from a gameplay perspective you could hold your breath forever, in the terms of the actual lore it was probably just long enough for Blitzball matches, and those had a half time break where they could catch their breaths. In FFXIV we could either go with the same philosophy, or more likely have a piece of lore that indicates that some sort of magic is placed on the players that allows them to breath underwater. We as players wouldn't have need of the magic being a skill, because the average adventurer would never have need of it, Leviathan fight aside.....

EDIT: Or as the above poster said, Cid could easily find a way to create a rebreather of some sort, possibly by using some sort of wind and water aspected crystals to explain it's abilities from a lore stand point.....

I think one of the cutscenes shows Rikku using a rebreather device.

Actually, Blitzball stadiums had a special component in their water that let them stay longer in them.

Edit: More accurate taken from finalfantasy.wikia.com: "The aquatic sport is played on spherical stadia filled with pyrefly-infused water. According to the Final Fantasy X Scenario Ultimania the sphere pool utilizes pyreflies to congeal the water into a sphere. Blitzball players can stay active underwater for extended periods of time because they are supported by the pyreflies contained in the water."

Aye, those pyreflies are OP as sin. Which is hilarious, when you consider what they are.

What the ff15 event will be:





The boys on their bromance trip experienced lag in titan, caused the car to fall off the edge, and that's why it's taken 10 + years for ffxv to come out. THANKS YOSHI

PS: I'm looking forward to these events to, sound really rad compared to FFXIII cx

[Enkidoh]

no blitzball please... that was 1 of the worst minigames in final fantasy franchise.. was super duper easy n got boring real fast lol

^This. Please Yoshi! Don't go and throw away all your good work by.... bringing that into the game!

An FFXV event though was always likely, and something I wouldn't mind but I seriously doubt the car mount would be included, even ignoring the ridiculous idea of a modern looking car appearing in Eorzea, how the hells are you even supposed to drive it? Eorzea has no sealed roads! It would get bogged down and useless the moment you tried driving it!

Thought the MC of FF15 was the Prince of Titan's kingdom though, and that's the trigger behind the game's events -- because crap invades his kingdom? Sad that he lagged off his kingdom's cliff I suppose.

I don't want to dress like FFXV characters.

Or we can use the magic of Eorzean lore editing! *grabs his keyboard*



"The aquatic sport is played on spherical stadia filled with aether-infused water. According to Final Fantasy XIV lore, the sphere pool utilizes mass quantities of water-aspected crystals to congeal water into a sphere. Blitzball players can stay active underwater for extended periods of time because they are supported by the aether contained in the crystals."

And boom goes the dynamite

[lyndwyrm]

Perhaps we might be able to see four guys riding in a black car? Although, as it’s Final Fantasy XIV, we need to decide if it should be a flying mount instead!

Made me think.
