I like Blitzball. It's tedious having to play full 10 game leagues for Wakka's Overdrives but the game is fun when you get stuck in.
I've also never seen a minigame make a worse, more off-putting first impression.
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people never wanted to go back.

Honestly? Yes. I loved it. I know I'm in the minority, but there was something cool about it. Especially once you get access to Brother and start wrecking shop.

It was fun, but there was a lot of room for improvement. Speed up option would've been nice, and maybe a way to declare a league over as soon as you are way ahead in points, or even sim the remaining games if you like.

That isn't close to the best team. Of those only Tidus actually makes the cut.

Talking about lv1. I'm just grabbing up anyone who'll do for the overdrives and sigil.
Brother gets the ball and swims fast. Tidus has Jecht Shot. Wedge has a nice shot early on. Psyches have Nimrook so I make do with Jumal. Ropp's pretty good all around.

I hate it and it's the reason I'll never get all the Celestial Weapons. I could catch all the blue butterflies, dodge 200 lighting bolts, and get a time of 0 seconds in the Chocobo race, but I can't do Blitzball.

Ah.

Then it still has room for improvement but is generally fine. Vilucha is available immediately and is incredible in most stats (and ends up being busted as well). For perspective she beats Tidus in every stat (though without Jecht Shot she is obviously not as good overall) when she joins and quickly overtakes Wedge as your best option beyond Tidus for a forward early on (he stagnates immediately and loses to her completely once she hits level 10). In addition she comes with Wither Shot 3, which means that if you want to make her basically worthless HP-wise for the rest of the round you get one "free" goal. She also scales into the late game extremely well as she caps at 91 ST and 83 EN, one of the highest raw offensive lines for a forward late game (and unlike characters like Keepa or the Kilika Beasts she is good throughout the entire game: no need to wait until extremely high levels before you actually get to have a real roster).

Tidus swims in, scores with Jecht shot. I pass ball around for the next 4 minutes to run out the clock. So no, blitzball does nothing for me.

Yes, loved to use the codes for it though more than play it straight though. The game adjusted for it and then you can have a really fun and high scoring game.

If you want an easier way to do this just camp behind your goal after scoring. The AI can't handle it for the most part and just swims in circles and only very rarely comes after you.

I do like it, yes. Replaying FFX and I demolished the goer's 5-1 in that story match. Absolutely demolished. Tidus scored twice in the first half, and then twice more during his half of the second half (once with Jecht shot, once normally). And then when Wakka got in I scored once with him. Datto even got a shot off (but couldn't get it in).

No. Its the worst minigame in any video game of all time. I will stand by that statement.

This is literally what has kept me from Getting the FFX platinum. I'm a trophy hunter and get the platinum for most games I play and enjoy.

I liked FFX, played it for the first time on the ps4. I got every trophy except for the one related to Blitzball. People complain about the lightning, the jump rope, etc. From various FF games.

Well I have platinumed every FF available on ps5/ps4 (including the recent pixel ones).

The only one I haven't is FFX and only because of blitzball. I would rather rip off my own thumb and eat it before playing blitzball again.

You have to tell me about the 1.
I won that game 4-1.
What happened was I didn't even get a chance to hit a button. The game gave the ball to them at the start, Graav sent it to Bickson, none of the AI Aurochs felt like doing anything, he punted it into the net.

Wasn't much of a downer though since it ended up being the first time I ever won that game.
