A~ah, Blitzball... Quite possibly my most hated minigame/sidequest ever.

That said, I guess I can understand why a fan of it would enjoy something like that -- but, at the end of the day, FFX is an RPG. I don't think anything in it should require being online and/or playing with others.

[blueonblue]

It was definitely my most hated minigame/sidequest ever.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated chocobo racing more. Never did get Tidus's ultimate weapon because of it, and I'm normally a hardcore completist.

[(Anonymous)]

Meanwhile I was the opposite-- I had no trouble getting Tidus' ultimate weapon, but damned if I was going to play enough Blitzball to get Wakka's.

[(Anonymous)]

No way, the worst by far was triple fucking triad.

[makoro]

how dare you

the worst was the card game in 9

[otakugal15]

No thank you. Blitzball was the worst damn thing they could have added to that game.

I DREADED that part of the game...

[tasogare_n_hime]

Me too. I think the only thing I hate more than blitzball are the minigames you have to play in Threads of Fate.

[(Anonymous)]

jump, jump, jump, dodge, jump, dodge

"almost there!"

wind blast

falls off platform

start over

ಠ_ಠ

[tasogare_n_hime]

I still can't get past the damn swing minigame.

[sootyowl]

I liked Blitzball. I wasn't the best at it, but I made it out alive. I think an online Blitzball tournament could be fun. Doubtful, but fun.

Secret 9 - Final Fantasy X, Blitzball

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is a screen-capture of the menu for playing the mini-game called "Blitzball" from the videogame "Final Fantasy X". It shows the options "League", "Tournament", "Exhibition", "Tutorial", "Team Data", "Cancel" and "Reset Data".]

I don't know if I'm just weird for hoping this, but I'm really hoping that the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster has online Blitzball. Not necessarily to get Wakka's overdrives, but even for Exhibition play, or even Tournament. I think it would be a lot of fun to play with other people!

None of my research is telling me anything. Does my google-fu suck and they did mention it? Or did I miss it?

[(Anonymous)]

I think I would have liked Blitzball if I hadn't given my all in the mandatory match and still lost horribly. D:

"You can always go back to the last save and try again-"

"NO FUCK THAT"

[elaminator]

As long as the online stuff stays optional that's fine (and I hope you get it!).

I never could stand Blitzball, but then again most minigames are pretty awful and I play as little of them as possible. (Off the top of my head, I really like the original BioShock's hacking minigame, and Infinite's shooting minigames were fun too.)

[(Anonymous)]

cool minigames in RPGs are like unicorns

I think I only really like the shooting minigame between levels in Kingdom Hearts II and the card game in Xenosaga Episode 1

[elaminator]

cool minigames in RPGs are like unicorns

Oh, so agreed.

Were the Gummi ship sections in KH2 better than in the first game? I seem to remember always hating them, but maybe my memories are making them seem worse than they are.

I actually didn't mind some of the Olympus Coliseum bits, but on a whole I just ignored the minigames (when you weren't forced to play them, anyway).

I don't even remember a card game in Xenosaga Episode 1, but I DO remember a card game in KOTOR, playing it once and not bothering with it again.

[(Anonymous)]

Were the Gummi ship sections in KH2 better than in the first game?

yes! they made them actually fun! :0

auuuugh the olympus coliseum! I don't even remember what they consisted off, but I remember the feeling of dread and resignation when I saw the challenges available...

I don't remember how you access the minigames in Xenosaga, but it was one of four minigames (one was a mecha battle, another Blackjack or a Blackjack type of game, I think? that could get you neat items for the main game, and the other was a game with a drill where you tried to get prizes), but I only really liked the card game. it was like trading card game where you used cards of characters and enemies from the main game to fight

[elaminator]

yes! they made them actually fun! :0

Clearly I need to get back into KH, because I don't remember that! Was the escort thing with Minnie considered a mini-game? I loved that. LOVED. Also the Steamboat Willie level. I recently bought the 1.5 remix and am looking forward to the 2.5 remix as well. Need to replay them...

but I remember the feeling of dread and resignation when I saw the challenges available...

I get this feeling whenever I'm being timed, but sometimes its worse than others. :(

Hmmmmmmmm. I still don't remember the Xenosaga mini-game, but it sounds kind of cute at least? I'd like to collect the cast, lol. Did the mini-game have anything to do with building that ultimate mecha that you could use in boss battles? I just remember getting that thing then summoning it and it defeating the final boss for me (or, well, at least one section of it; don't remember the details) in one hit. (Though maybe that wasn't even the first game...)

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

I'm not sure if it counts as a mini-game but, wow, if that is not the best escort mission ever then I don't know what is

I haven't beaten KHII (got distracted) so I'll look forward to it!

I hate hate hate timed challenges. hate them. D:

I think the ultimate mecha thing came from machine parts you found scattered in the world and brought back to the crazy scientist guy, who made the ultimate mecha thing evolve into different forms (until you reached the final badass KO-everything one), but don't quote me on that, it's been a really long time since I last played

[elaminator]

if that is not the best escort mission ever then I don't know what is

Right? Escort missions are usually the worst, but I actually didn't want that one to end.

Ooh, you should get back to it when possible! I liked KHII even better than the first game, though the lack of exploration was a bit disappointing, overall it was more fun to play. Plus, the new worlds were awesome. :p

I feel you. Boy, do I feel you...

Oooo, yes, crazy scientist guy who at one point moved onto your ship, you are right. I always want to replay Xenosaga because although it's been a long time and my memories of it are sort of vague, it was one of my favorite RPG series. It's just so long and difficult... If there was a PS3 version for it I would probably go for it.

[(Anonymous)]

I mourned the lack of exploration too! going around finding secret paths and hidden items was a blast in the first game

the improved combat system kind of makes up for it, so I guess I'll pick it up again! :v

ohhh the cutscenes, yesss

[(Anonymous)]

Blizball and Tidus voice made me hate the games.

[(Anonymous)]

I loved Blitzball (in X, not X-2)! I would probably suck at playing against other people, but I can see how playing it online would be fun for some c:
