Yup. I think I'm done with this game.

The fucking jellyfish boss has killed me at least 3 times. And having to watch 5 minutes of cutscenes every time it happens is just too much.

 

[ZeroX03]

No idea about that really. I just won the championship yesterday by beating the Goers and got the

trophy. Haven't played any other matches so I don't know for sure.

Why would you spoiler tag a trophy name? That isn't in any way a spoiler.

The trophy is for winning any Blitzball game, not the Goers match. There's also a trophy for winning a tournament. The mandatory Goers match only gives you a stupid sphere winning, it's not worth worrying over.

I've been trying to win it for a decade. ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT

The Jellyfish boss? The one under the water after the Sin fight on the S.S. Liki?

Use Darkness Attack and Cheer.

That's the one.

I've tried that, but the fight with Sin drains most of my HP beforehand and I only have 2 potions.

I'm not sure if this is available at this point, but you can kick Yuna's bag in the room below deck for up to 20 Potions.

If that's not an option, kill two of the Sinscales in the Sin fight, drop him to low HP, and heal the guys up with Yuna before ending the fight.

That will help a lot actually. I'll do that after I die one more time.

Thanks guys.

Ups, it's just a habit. I always hide trophy names.

About winning the match not being important: Perhaps for you man, but for me, those bastards made me sweat blood for the past 10 or so years and yesterday was the same until I practiced and finally got my first blitzball victory in my personal gaming history. You bet it was worth it for me. EPIC moment.

Install CMA, plug your Vita and open Content Manager on your Vita.

 

[Astral]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I just won too! First time ever. FUCK YOU GOERS!

 

[CountBlack]

Won the first blitzball match on my first try too.

I mean.. when I was a kid blitzball stole my soul so I'm not surprised that I still got it.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

YES! Finally!

Spoiler

I feel like such a child for not being able to beat that boss lol

 

[Levyne]

I always get Lulu on the machina bike ride.

 

[mstevens]

So just to be clear: You can get all of the blitzball trophies without winning the first match?

 

[Emitan]

Install CMA, plug your Vita and open Content Manager on your Vita.

I just use the Flickr app.

 

[Flandy]

How do I export screenshots from the Vita?

I just upload mine through the Flickr app.

Should I be doing something else? Does flickr compress the images a lot?

 

[Levyne]

I use the content manager, but I guess I should try the Flickr app next time I am playing something on Vita.

Flickr is fine, great even. There's a reason why so many photographers use it

 

[Dragun619]

Finally beat the Luca Goers after 3 tries. Managed to score one point then play the clock, hah. Was starting to hate blitzball, but now that I've recruited better players, it gets pretty fun.

 

[Astral]

I forgot how incredible Anima's design was. Holy shit.

 

[XJF]

Install CMA, plug your Vita and open Content Manager on your Vita.

Thanks! After 30 tries i finally murdered this fool! Final time is -2.4, thought it only registers as 0.0

So just to be clear: You can get all of the blitzball trophies without winning the first match?

the only missable trophy is "Find all 26 Al Bhed Primers"

[Dragun619]

Does anyone know if your suppose to receive 1 or 2 Level 1 Key spheres from either pushing or killing the Chocobo Eater?

Been following the PS2 strategy guide, and I manged to push him down the cliff but I didn't receive any Level 1 Key spheres. Is it a rare drop or was changed in the international release?

 

[ZeroX03]

So just to be clear: You can get all of the blitzball trophies without winning the first match?

Yes. The first match is absolutely pointless outside of bragging rights. Can't stress thing enough folks.

The only things you should worry about missing are Al Bhed Primers, and once you've reached the Calm Lands you should backtrack to get the

Spheres so you aren't blocked later. They're not missable, but getting blocked by a superboss makes it annoying.

After Operation Mi'ihen you spawn on a beach and go to the next temple. How do you go back to Mushroom Rock from there? Once you get to Luca are you able to take a boat to Besaid or something?

Anyone know the answer to this? Planning to use my PS2 guides as well. Curious if item locations/drops have been changed much.

 

[Shadow780]

So for stat maxing I should just focus on Luck and forget about accuracy and evasion?

 

[WordsintheWater]

Man the HD remake for this is absolutely beautiful sometimes, I miss the PS2 days with all these colors on the screen, now things are too dull.

 

[Emitan]

IMO this is where the game truly starts

Pretty sure the road that was blocked when you first get there opens up. There's shortcuts, etc. And yes you can use boats to go back.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Well, I ordered both PS3 and Vita versions. My excuse? 20% off at best buy makes it almost like a normal $60 game..

 

[Seik]

Got my copy today and play a good 2+ hours.

It looks really good, seriously, I was impressed.

I wasn't sure if it was 1080p or 720p at first, but I got closer to the tv and guess it probably 720p with some kind of good AA (I don't know what I'm talking about) because I don't see much jaggies.

 

[ramyeon]

TIDUS GOT REPLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SHOT THAT WAS ABOUT TO GO IN

I'M MAD

Haha oh man I had the exact opposite happen on my third attempt. Abus went for an unfair shot as usual and the cinematic kicked in just before it registered, so lucky because that let me win

Anyone have some suggestions on good blitz players to recruit early on and where to find them?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I never played this game and Im loving it Vita btw

It's 1080p. Just look how sharp things like text are. You don't get that on 720p.

In Luca:

Wedge by the arena (Forward)

Jumal on a bench by the Cafe (Goalie)

If you want to do some early blitzing

FW: Tidus
FW: Wedge (Guard at Luca Stadium, upstairs before the locker rooms)
MF: Brother (Piloting the airship)
DF: Ropp (Mi'ihen's Travel Agency shop guy, with blue bandana)
DF: Zalitz (guy on the way to Luca Theather)
GK: Jumal (guy sitting on a bench at Luca Square)

Put ropp in MF if you cant get brother yet. Even one good free agent makes the game sooo much easier.

You cant get all the rewards until later though (once you have faced 450 enemies or something like that).

Backtracking now, i'll let you know how it goes lol

I'm okay with that, then.

Idk, I saw people asking before in this thread and got that it probably wasn't as an answer, it always seemed to be a 'floaty' subject as if anyone wasn't sure. Cool to finally know.

Anyway, it's a truly good remake, lots of improvements makes it a worthy investment.

Wait so you spoiler marked the second part but not the first part? wat. The post right above you said it was their first time playing it too D:

Eh. I was considering not tagging anything, they hastily and sloppily applied the tags I guess. I will polish that up.

 

[XJF]

This was my first thought as well lol oh well.

So having played both versions, the VITA version does shine here, but I'm always afraid I'm going to break the right analog stick when I do Lulu's Overdrive lol
I also love the quick heal menu on the VITA, not sure why they couldn't have mapped that to the "R2 or L2" button on the PS3 version

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I wasn't sure if it was 1080p or 720p at first, but I got closer to the tv and guess it probably 720p with some kind of good AA (I don't know what I'm talking about) because I don't see much jaggies.

It's 1080p with no AA. There's plenty of jaggies everywhere but just being in 1080p is a big accomplishment for a PS3 game so I can forgive.

 

[Dragun619]

For people who like playing Blitzball early, found this team online and it's been working wonders for me. Was a breeze to get Attack Reels, and available right after Luca. For if you're too impatient to wait for late game.

FW: Tidus
FW: Wedge (guard outside stadium)
MF: Zev Ronso (the screen to the right of the stadium)
DF: Zalitz (on the way to Luca Theater)
DF: Ropp (at the Mi'hen travel agency)
GF: Jumal (on a bench at the Luca Square)

Been following this. It has made Blitzball so much more easier, that I'm actually enjoying it now.

 

[Chance Hale]

It's 1080p. Just look how sharp things like text are. You don't get that on 720p.

UI elements can be made to be 1080P, while the game itself is run at 720P. Dead Rising 3 is a good example of this, not sure about FF though and I plan on getting the vita version which isn't close to either

 

[Emitan]

Vita version looks like a Japanese PS3 game to me lol

Looks good
