Blitzball!

[Paladinleeds]

Blitzball would just wind up being unused content, and the developer resources mis-spent on it should be used to greater effect elsewhere. No thanks, we don't need the 4th iteration of "played for the first week, ignored forever after" content.

I wouldn't consider it wasted. I think we need more varied content like this, rather than the grind grind grind of tomestones all the time. A gold saucer revamp is needed though, but the only way it'd get used is if it offered the best possible gear. I don't envy SE's position trying to make the gold saucer work.

So make a solo version? That's how it was in X.

I disagree. However what they could do (which they could also add to Chocobo Racing/Lords of Verminion) is if after x amount of time in the queue, it starts populating with NPCs. So after a while you're at least GUARANTEED a pop. Even if it's with AI.
