They did blitzball so dirty, 0/10 literally unplayable. Jokes aside, it's very fun that they did a direct sequel, it's not as good as FFX, but it's also not trying to be. The story is mostly fine, nothing too special, but nothing too terrible. I don't love that they undermined some of the themes of sacrifice from FFX, but whatever. The actual gameplay is pretty great - this might be one of the best versions of a job-based ATB battle system. Like a lot of games, you do eventually reach a point where there are only a couple strategies that dominate everything else, but for 90% of the game, the variety keeps the battling fresh.
