Playing Final Fantasy X again for the first time in like. a decade. My first thought upon starting the new game; oh no, blitzball, I forgot the horror that was blitzball, I can't remember, please tell me I don't have to play blitzball right now
my relief upon playing on and finding out- nope, don't have to play it yet, the intro is all cutscene; 1000/10
schematise that is the correct response to blitzball
also, I had forgotten how awkward some of the movement can be
I actually won the first game
the one they say you can't win
I got that stupid jecht shot
and kept them from scoring
it was worth it, they got to hold the trophy
ahhhh, Tidus, you are such a young babe of a jock
arg. I do not miss the weirdness of moving around a camera that sometimes follows you, and sometimes just. doesn't
Yeah, you don't Have To blitzball until Luca, so you're free for a while yet.
good, good, good, good, good.
And Wakka will forever lack his overdrives/ultimate weapon. Semi-relatedly, smene pls explain to me why Auron and Kimahri's ultimate weapons don't come with Piercing, like literally everything else they get up to that point????
/eyes Wakka and his enthusiasm
Apparently there's a bltizball AI glitch where if you take the ball and hide behind your own goalie, the AI doesn't know what the fuck to do with it and will just run down the clock.
so if I can manage to score a goal before the other team does, I can.... just go hide >.>
I mean, then you have to get through the second half of the game, but CORRECT
I wonder if there's a mod that will just.... let me skip it entirely
/terrible, but fffft, seriously, fuck blitzball XD
THE OPENING CUTSCENE PROMISES AWESOMENESS
THE GAMEPLAY DOES NOT DELIVER
I have been trying to get the freaking jecht shot
and I have tried and had my keyboard utterly fucking fail to register my keystrokes during the challenge
and having to restart the game and wait through not only the opening 'sitting around the campfire' scene, but the entire flashback too. Every. Single. Time.
why is there not a load game feature without having to quit the game, for the love of all that is holy, wtf is wrong with SE
I think I'm done with FFX for now
