The RP community on Final Fantasy XIV does an annual Blitzball tournament every summer - and with Blitzball, comes an RP based fundraiser for ABTA (The American Brain Tumor Association) and Move United! . Some teams were in need of a logo face lift, and I was put in charge of that effort. It was a very fun project for a good cause, and I'm super stoked with how they all turned out. Even if you are not involved with the RP scene in Final Fantasy XIV, you can still donate on your own to these charities throughout the season. And soon to come are products with the team logos on them, in which all proceeds then go to specifically Move United! (The ABTA is a bonus Charity for this year!) A big thank you to the Etheriys Blitzball League and their leadership for reaching out to me for the opportunity! Here's hoping to a hopping season. "Teach us how to Blitz!"

I think Blitzball (that sport game from FFX) would be dope in the Mass Effect universe

Blitzball is alive and well in Final Fantasy 14, and I spoke to the community of passionate fans who built an entire 140-page D&D-like syste

"And everyone feels like they're part of something bigger."

I have been to a match (big up the Buccaneers), cheered in a crowd, and even gotten myself a special novelty hat, all without a single lick of game code actually dedicated to it. The Etheirys Blitzball League (also known as the EBL) is a roleplay community that hosts and runs in-game tournaments of the fantasy sport.

After attending a game, I simply had to see how it was done—and as it turns out, Blitzball has an entire rules document dedicated to it, one that's over 140 slides long. It's essentially its own TTRPG system—there are lanes, classes, mechanics for blocking, diving, tackling, and even taunting.

Yet despite being complicated, the end result is shockingly fast-paced. Which, as I have explained to me, settling in for a conversation with the EBL's showrunners and rulesmasters, is thanks to a clever use of the game's raid marker system, a /random chat command (which rolls a number between one and 1,000), countdowns, and in-game macros that help keep time.

Damn, that's cool as hell!

If we ever get to play Blitzball in FFXIV, whether it’s a job similar to how Wakka plays in FFX, or we get to play Blitzball in the Gold Saucer, Hali would have to add “Blitzball Player” to her already overflowing resume.
