Q: With the addition of swimming and underwater exploration. Do you see Blitzball in the future of Final Fantasy XIV?
Y: To be honest? Yes we have plans. Maybe. The thing is we've run into a few problems. There's the opinion that if we released Blitzball as it was in Final Fantasy X that players may lose interest in it quickly. And then on the team we've had the idea that since we're an MMO that maybe we should make a MMO specific version of Blitzball. Something that would really fit with the style of game we have. However on the other hand if we do that we're going away from the Blitzball everyone knows and is expecting. So we're trying to figure out how to mix both sides. But since we have swimming and diving implemented it's only natural we attempt to add this and we'll keep thinking of ways to do it.
