In Spira, people play a game called Blitzball. Every year there's a big tournament in Luca, and people come from all over to watch it and root for their favorite team. It was one of the few really good things we had in Spira. A time for everyone to get together and have fun, and forget about their sorrows for a little while.

I wondered if there's anything like that here? Maybe not a sport, but some kind of regular event where everyone gathers to celebrate and have fun?

That's what I was thinking. People have to have something fun to do, to keep their minds off all the bad stuff that might be happening.

I agree. It's probably more important to have something like that now than ever.

Blitzball, though, do the players hold their breath for that long, or are they breathing underwater? It sounds really interesting!

It is interesting! And lots of fun. They have to hold their breath, they do a lot of practicing to be able to hold it for so long.

No way! That sounds incredibly intense, trying to keep track of your team, your opponents and all of that while holding your breath.

It's definitely hard. When we were kids we used to play a bit just for fun, but I was never very good at it. You have to be strong to throw the ball so far.
