FF10 / X - Blitzball
Blitzball is the sport of choice in the world of Spira in Final Fantasy X, played by many, enjoyed by many more, it is a way for the inhabitants of Spira to relax and enjoy. Blitzball is one of the greatest mini games I have ever played in a game, it is addictive and fun and allthough it isn't crucial to the storyline of Final Fantasy X, it is only necessary for you to play one game if you are not interested in it.
The aim of the game is to use your 6 players, one of which is a goal keeper, to get a ball known as a Blitzball into the opponents goal. As stated above each team has 6 players, 5 on the field and one as a goal keeper. Each match lasts 10 minutes in time and is divided up into 5 minute halves.
Each player has a set of attributes that will decide how well they will do at certain things, stats include:
HP: Used when you move, attack, shoot, get attacked and by special attacks. If this is depleted to 0, the player will be unable to move and not be able to take any action
EN: Endurance which will be the characters ability to withstand attacks. While a player is carying the blitzball and is attacked, the attackers AT will be taken from the players EN and if it reduced to 0, the attacker will steal the blitzball
AT: The attack strength of the player in an encounter. This will be taken form the defenders EN and if reduced to 0, the player will steal the blitzball
PA: Passing strength, this will slowly decrease as you pass to another player as it travels through the water and if its less than the recievers CA stat then it will be fumbled
BL: Blocking will determine what affect a player will have in blocking a pass or shoot. This number will be taken away from the players who is passing/shooting PA or ST, and if it depletes it to 0, they will obtain the blitzball
CA: This is the catching stat which is only for use of the goalie. When a player shoots, the number left in the ST stat of the shooter will have the goalies CA stat taken away from it and if it is depleted to 0 the goalie will catch the blitzball, but if it is higher that 0, the blitzball will go in and score a goal
ST: The shooting ability of a player. This will be slowly depleted while travelling through the water until it reaches goalie where the goalies CA will be taken from this and if it is more than 0, the blitzball will go through for a goal.
