Poll: Is it wrong to want to replay FFX just to play Blitzball?

[Sieg Firebrand]

I've had this lingering urge lately to bust out my old PS2 to play some Blitzball on Final Fantasy 10, however, I don't have any saves on my old memory cards and so would have to replay most of the game to be able to play Blitzball. What do you think?

 

[Slvrwolfen]

I personally spent almost half of my playing time playing Blitzball, partially to get all the items, partially because of the awesome music, and partially because I simply liked it as a change to the other tasks at hand in-game. (btw, my longest save has around... 260 hours clocked in it >_>)

My buddy played through X a couple of times when it came out, and he would play BB for days straight.

 

[Sassafrass]

Well, seeing as whenever I pop FFX in nowadays then proceed to play Blitzball for about 2 hours straight, I'm gonna have to say no, it#'s not wrong.

I'd say do it, worse things to do with your time. Plus I think FF X is a brilliant game too, currently why I'm about 3/4 of the way through the story for the 4th time.

 

[Ubermetalhed]

From someone who has virtually 100 percented that game, it is very very wrong to replay it for that.

 

[Woodscare]

I don't see why not

 

[nazzer]

Ugh. Blitzball.


The nightmares... I thought I had gotten rid of them...


Frankly, I think it's a terrible minigame. Seriously, it looked way cool in the cutscenes, but the actual game was boring and contrived.

I absolutely loved Blitzball. It could've been a game all by itself.

 

[Awexsome]

Aw man... Blitzball... That "mini-game" was awesome. Everybody feared Ropp in my save file. Ropp to Tidus for the Jecht shot... dominant.

I'd buy a spin-off game of FFX's blitzball in a Madden type vein with franchise modes and such. (although less on yearly roster updates. Just a one time thing.)

 

[Gaiseric]

My friend did that a few times.

I spent probably 10x as many hours playing Blitzball as i did playing the main story (and i actually liked FFX), so my answer is a most definite "No."

Ahhh, memories. Recruit Brother (Rikku's big brother), set him as mid-fielder, win every game.

 

[John Funk]

Hell no. Blitzball was great.

For that matter, so was FFX.

 

[Zantos]

All I do now on that game is Blitzball.

Infact, I think Square (whatever suffix they're using nowadays) could do really well just by making a blitzball game a la EA sports. I'd totally buy that.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Blitzball (gameplay-wise) was the weakest part of that game IMO. I think it was really cool though for the game story wise.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I totally play Final Fantasy IX sometimes just for my Tetra Master fix.

 

[FalloutJack]

I personally dislike the sport. it was the subject of much irritation and I hope nothing of its caliber is ever seen again. You are, of course, welcome to do whatever you like.

 

[butternut]

Its totally not wrong, I personally enjoyed it as a mini-game but my brother loved it. He wasnt so big on the actual game of FFX mind, so it was the perfect combo. I would play the story and scout players for him, and he would play the blitzball and get items and stuff for me!

 

[Patton662]

Why don't you just go and play it instead of asking silly questions?

 

[boag]

I actually enjoyed the blitzball games, even though they didnt make a lick of sense.

I ended up making an all girl team for.... scientific purposes.... yeah.
