Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn: Yoshi-P Raises the Possibility of Adding Blitzball to FFXIV

in News & Features Discussion

In a conversation with the folks over at IGN, Final Fantaxy XIV's Naoki Yoshida raised the possibility of adding the underwater sport of Blitzball (originally featured in Final Fantasy X) to FFXIV.

"We can’t say it’s been decided yet, this may be just half-joking so don’t write it down as confirmed," he said. "But there was a meeting about two months ago where I had a chance to speak with Kitase-San, and I mentioned there seemed to be a big demand for implementing a Blitzball element in Final Fantasy XIV, and Kitase-San was just like, 'Oh wow, I never knew that? That could be cool to consider!'

The bit of news also came with hints that players may see some sort of in-game tie-in with the launch of Final Fantasy XV.  This wouldn't be the first time FFXIV enjoyed a game launch tie-in. Players were previously able to collect items themed after the characters in the Final Fantasy XIII games as part of a promotional event for the launch of Final Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

    as long its the blitz ball from FFX and not from X-2 i'm all up to it, it was the best mini game inside I FF game I ever played, the reason they butchered it on X-2 I will never guess....
    FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM.... and for some money.

    Adding more stuff is almost always good!

    Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.

    Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.
