The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV might get Blitzball, a mini-game from Final Fantasy X.
Square Enix is doing well. The individual teams working on the titles have truly embraced the games from the Japanese developer. Especially with the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, fans of the franchise constantly consider how to integrate particularly beautiful elements from earlier FF games to pay homage to the predecessors and further equip their own game with fun elements for the fans.
Thus, Game Director Naoki Yoshida can also envision “Blitzball” in Final Fantasy XIV – previously, the card game Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII was borrowed. Blitzball is a pretty crazy mix of various sports and enjoyed some popularity as a mini-game in Final Fantasy X on the Playstation 2. They do not want to commit to it yet, but initial cautious discussions have already taken place.
Yoshida can also imagine such collaborations with other franchises from Square Enix or the upcoming FF games like Final Fantasy XV.
