What was the point of this? Two cosplayers playing with a beach ball is front page news on ANN now?
This is nothing like the actual Blitzball in the game... I was at least expecting teams and some kind of team handball game to be going on... |

Looks like they're just playing Volley Ball to me. That didn't resemble Blitzball in any shape or form.

I racked up a lot of playtime in FFX because of blitzball. I was way too into that game.

Ack! My eyes! Took a bit for them to adjust back... I know I've seen in stores the double screen thing, advertised as "3D" (yet, didn't work with the glasses provided....) since it looked so different from the fuzzy look/vibrating layered look. I didn't realize this would work to see it if you look at it like those optical illusions... but I guess it's taken from that.
...either than that 3D ramble, nothing amazing here :/ |

Would've been more epic if their were other FFX cosplayers doing this. Instead, we got two chavs bouncing around a $2 ball one can get at the local Wal-Mart.

kinda funny how this was an interest news item, yet failed to be interesting on any level.

I've seen some...controversial interest pieces on ANN before.
But I have to say, personally, this is about the dumbest one yet. :/ Seriously. What the hell. This is just some dudes tossing around a ball while cosplaying. Riveting! Maybe if they are like...in a pool or something, like the way it's meant to be played underwater, I could see it as something pretty cool... |

As others have said, this doesn't resemble Blitzball at all.
But I see what's going on here. Somebody wanted an excuse to post a video with the Chocobo theme song in it. I understand. I thought Blitzball was a terrible game to play, though. Always hated the section where you were forced to play it. |

Lol, you know you can like...just not do anything and lose the game? And make a sammich in the process. Just let your cat or something randomly push buttons to advance it. Doesn't affect the story. |

I realized that afterwards. Didn't know that the first time through and it's obvious to see in retrospect that the cards are stacked against you anyways.

I enjoyed Blitzball so much. Once I understood it, I kept on going for the top and getting everything and good players as I can. Expected too much from the video, but not too mad.

I was at Manifest 2010, and I loved these cosplayers. Their blitzball was not cheaply made or bought; it looked pretty authentic to me.
Here's a photo, sans blitzball: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianiceboy/4913153226/ Not sure what purpose that video served, though... |

Yeah, I agree, at least initially. I wish you'd get the special items even if you lost the first big game. That was way too soon for the game to expect a win out of you. Once you start playing later on for Wakka's celestial weapon though the game starts to grow on you. As for the cosplay, I think they look pretty cool. I was expecting teams though - that would have been considerably more exciting. |

Sphere Break in FFX-2 was even worse. |

That guy who is Tidus ALWAYS COSPLAYS AS TIDUS.... That or Dante from DMC. its been 3 years since i've be to a Con in his part of Australia.. and BOTH TIMES I'VE SEEN HIM AS TIDUS... shouldn't there be a point in a cosplayer's career when, you move onto bigger and better things? lol also.. the blitzball is just a normal white ball with blue tape around it. not expensive at all to make.. just probably time consuming. also they suck at "blitzball" /rage |
