I've just reached the part where I am supposed to play Blitzball for the first time, and boy does the game suck, there's no way around the fact. I can not for the life of me figure out why people rate this 'game' (whatever it is, it shouldn't be called a game in the first place) so high. The actual parts where you steer your spiky haired character through narrow corridors had been a total disaster up to that point, but Blitzball actually sounded like some tactical combat (without blood and gore) that I was looking forward to. It turned out to be some sort of.. mixture between movies and.. crap. Even though FFX was cheap, I wish I hadn't spent a single swedish crown on this game.
Thanks for the playing tips, ShadowPaladin and Haitoku, but this wasn't my kind of interactive story at all. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever find a jRPG that will suit me and not be so horrible that it actually makes me angry while I play it. I hate when that happens.
