A Sport (how about Blitzball?)

[Shougun]

As long as there's a huge stadium with a little table in the middle for TEH TOURNAMENTZ.

And we get to say

"AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH - You Activated my trap card!"

"noob"

I never enjoyed blitzball in FFX.

If there were to be an athlectic sport in XIV, i'd rather see it something unique to Eorzea.

Lala-Punt then.

I am in favor of this. Blitzball <3

[Radnar]

Please don't.... I was a hardcore Blitzball fan in FFX and if they added this to XIV I'd NEVER stop playing it EVER!

I don't even care if this has been suggested a zillion times, I'll like every one of them!

Ditto.

I freaking loved Blitzball in FFX. I would play the crap out of it if it was added.

As long as it better done than Huttball in ToR I'll be all over it.

It could be it's own class/job and even, if your ream rages with another, you could settle the differences in the colisseum in pvp match.

Ohhh yes, this could be great!

I would be all for some kind of game that took your classes abilities and translated them into some sort of sport environment. Something similar to Huttball in SWtoR but more well done then what they ended up with would be a good place to start.

I hate blitzball with a passion! But if they added it, I wouldnt be mad. It'd be good for people that do want it. Like crafting, it'd just be a feature I'd avoid. (Only time I crafted was when my friends held "Mender's Monday's"...and even then it was rare)

If they added card games though I'd participate.

Technically speaking, to add system like Blitzball will require complete new set of UI, game system (using your existing character data), BGM, SE, and other features so it will cost a lot to develop such system BUT say if they can get it as a expansion system for fun which doesn't really affect too much of the main game play of XIV aside from getting trophies (for housing) and small items and stuff. It may take 1-2 years to even develop such system on top of current server.

How many would actually pay for it?

I for one would buy this type of expansion.

Pretty sure the Gold Saucer one YoshiP mentioned will be an expansion but guessing it wont have sport game like blitzball.

Also not sports but you know YoshiP might still be hiding the card game everyones been asking for so that's one mini-game already + gold saucer, that two lol

No blitzball. When I think blitzball I think Tidus. And I hate Tidus. lol

But in all seriousness, this thread has been done before, but I think a Sports minigame would be pretty cool. Depending on which of the city-states it is, the respective leader of its Grand Company could participate in the opening ceremony, or if its in Ul'Dah, maybe even a speech from the King Sultan guy himself!
