The correct answer is gently caress Blitzball. Play Blood Bowl instead.

IMO, the biggest problem with the first blitzball game is that it starts out with the movement on auto, which is useless, and on your first playthrough, you may not notice that there's a manual movement mode. Second, your starting team is super garbo, which makes the first game serve as a terrible tutorial for the minigame. It's kind of hard to figure out what's going on when your dudes are just getting wrecked the whole time.

I should make a Bliztball only video, then just cut to cutscenes of FFX where characters talk about Blitzball, since those are way more fun than actually playing. Defend the rules or stats, or the hours you need to sink into it for it to be fun, but the entire point of mini-games, I think, is to provide a fun, immediate distraction than anyone can pick up and play. So in a world of Triple Triads, Ocarina of Time Fishing, or literally anything in Yakuza...Blitzball does not cut it.

Blitzball sucks. I want more sports announcers denouncing their humanity and creating generations of weirdos.

I wish there were more exploring and finding weird poo poo in the Xenoblade X video but it's still a good video

To be fair, why isn't that mixed into a bowl? gently caress eating dips out of jars.

Blitzball more like Shitzball. I can say this because I played that drat minigame to the point where the Al Bhed Psyches was filled with Ronsos, Kilika Beasts had all the original Luca Goer...goers, and every game consisted of me scoring a point and then just breaking the AI so that they would never score a point. Thank god the timer goes 2x fast.

I dunno, I think there's room in video games for more elaborate 'minigames' like that AND the short and sweet stuff you're talking about. Maybe side games is a better term for things like Blitzball/Chocobo Breeding and Racing/Chocobo Hot&Cold. That said I'm not a huge fan of BLitzballs because it's super easy to just buy one or two of the best players then run roughshod over the league over and over on computer control. If anything gets to difficult you just reset the league/stats so everyone's back at base level and your guys are still the naturally gifted gods they always could were. Blitzball is a neat idea (Trying to make a FF theme Bloodbowl inside a traditional FF) but it's got wonky execution and that's what holds it back, not the idea that it takes time and effort to get into it.

Not only is it a big 'take a few hours to learn this minigame' thing, but it's a big hour long thing that can be either completely cheesed or totally gently caress you for no real reason, and whenever that happens, even when you win, it's like 'well what's the loving point of all that learning'. It's a dense game that doesn't even reward learning its dense systems.

It also doesn't help that the tutorial for it isn't even right before the first game. You get the tutorial, then you have to do about a half hour of stuff which is just long enough to forget about everything it tells you.

The original version actually looked pretty drat fun though, it's a shame no one will be able to buy it now. Kinda wish I had preordered it, since the only thing I saw until their video was the flaccid 3DS/Wii U version. Also that is one of the most blatant publisher fuckery I've ever seen, literally everything different is worse.

Rodea is looking super freaking fun so far in the video, I hope it's not too expensive to find it on gamestop later on.

You could put a huge rock in front of Woolie and as long as it had markings of some sort and braids he would think it was the coolest poo poo ever

I'm all about dumping on Woolie, but the dynamic of him and Matt kicking Pat while he's down and keeping the video going so he can focus on playing is BASICALLY perfect and I don't ever want a 2 person Soulsborne video again

In 7 the Blue Mage Materai got soem abilities you could easily use to decimate the game from when you leave Midgar to about the return of midgar. Quina in 9 is also super fantastic if you take 5 minutes to get a few spells (You can get 6-7 right outside where you first get them and one of those is Mighty Guard.) Blue mages actually are super rad in most of the games they appear in. It's just they're pretty lovely in 8 and 10 because they're limited to limit breaks so there's no point in ever getting them at all.

Man, I just watched the Phantom Menace Plinkett Review finally earlier because the internet won't shut up about it, and aside from the creepy rape dungeon gimmick he's got going on when not actually talking about the movie, it's a really entertaining and wholly correct analysis of TPM. This combined with watching the XenoChronX video, it's made me realize that the SBF really like that review and they've used "What's wrong with your FAAAAAACE" a helluva lot And it's still funny, especially now that I'm imagining that creepy anime marker girl's face being under that weird star wars mask edit:  this fuckin' girl, "I've been writing some giant robot fanfiction, let me read it to you..."

Plus he just loving stabs seymour while he's talking because gently caress wasting time. Quina is rad as heck and Strago is pretty cool as well. They're kind of the only blue mage characters and that 3/4 who are cool and good.
