    Blitzball .....where is blitzball

    I would like to know where is blitzball
    In one of the previous post,
    The development team said that they were working on implementing blitzball and nothing else has been said about it and that was almost a year ago
    I'm sorry but blitzball would be so fun in this game make it just like final fantasy 10 to wear like each player can recruit their own team of different NPCs or players and have blitzball tournament

    Even give a recruiting option like they did in final fantasy 10 to where you can walk up to like certain players and ask him if they want to join blitzball team
    Like for example walk up to Kan E Senna and ask her if she would like to join a blitzball team , if she is a recruitable character and she says yes



    Blitzball was one of the best games that final fantasy ever came out with and I so dearly miss it and I know I am not the only one
    I wish they would put it in final fantasy XIV like they said they was trying to

    Never? As far as I was aware there has never been any 100% confirmation officially from SE that it was ever planned for FFXIV, but just something Yoshi offhandedly mentioned as random thoughts that someone seized on and touted "as planned" and from there it took on a life of it's own.

    So until there is confirmation, I'm going to say it's probably never coming I'm sorry to say (and that is overlooking my own hatred of Blitzball in FFX, but then I'm hardly the best person to offer an opinion on that as I disliked FFX in general, but I digress).

    You might want to link your source that it's coming because the last I heard, they said it won't be getting added. The various scenarios they tried coming up with didn't work well for a multi-player environment.

    On the other hand, I've heard a lot of players stating that it was coming when SE announced new games for the Gold Saucer. We got Air Force One. Then SE said there was another new game coming and those same players starting saying "Blitzball!". Turned out to be Slice is Right.

    The development team have spoken about it a few times over the years. They've certainly considered it - though they seem to be conflicted about how best to implement it. I wouldn't be surprised if we see it at some point, though I'd suggest cautious optimism as even if it is added to the game it may end up being far removed from what made Blitzball so great in FFX.

    Dude 6 vs 6 PvP Blitzball mode in the roulette would be TIIIIGGGHHHHTTTTTTT. I would play every single day. It needs its own stats, and/or gear uniforms, and/or housing decorations. Think of the possiblity of pre-made party tournaments.

    Alternatively: If one map let us use mounts underwater it would be like mounted water polo! Mounted Blitzball!

    While he never gave a 100% confirmation about it, it was definitely more than "offhandedly mentioned as random thoughts".

    "James from MyM Magazine: With the addition of swimming, do you see Blitzball in the future of FFXIV?

    Yoshida: To be honest, yes we have plans, maybe. The thing is, we’ve run into a few problems, there’s the opinion that if we released it as it was in FFX, players might lose interest in it quickly. Then on the team we had the idea of OK because we’re an MMO, lets make something that fits with the style of game we have. However if we do that, then we’re going away from the Blitzball people know and expect. We’re trying to find a good mix of both sides. Because we have swimming and diving, its natural to get that in the game." Source: https://gamerescape.com/2017/02/18/f...ss-conference/

    Yoshida bringing something exciting up then never mentioning it again, even if repeatedly asked, is kindda par for the course. Never believe or look forward to anything until its actually implemented in the game. And even then we get things that work out like Blue Mage and Eureka more often than not.

    That idea was probably turned into the HoH magicite system, allowing people to find and "summon" Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, or Odin to clear a floor/damage a boss.

    With what we have currently, there is no reason to believe a blitzball minigame (or any other new minigame) would be good, not even decent.

    They'd better update chocobo races and make it acceptable first, before trying another minigame.
