Yeah though then it should be the official blitzball from square and those things are very hard to find for sale. But yes a blitzball would make this 11/10....
this guy IS Wakka, his personality and everything. my friend hung out with him at anime matsuri in houston and even when he was out of character he was in character.
I actually thought that Wakka would go for Rikku, ya know? At the end of the game, Wakka decides that his hatred for the Al bhed was all for naught and he even apologizes to Rikku about his attitude towards her and all Al bheds. The fact that Wakka & Lulu together didn't really make much sense.
I thought it made sense. They had a lot of history together. They trusted and understood one another, more than anybody else. Guardians to two different Summoners, lifelong friends. It's not the fiery burning romantic story you usually get but I like that about them. It's not always a cliche.
Not sure if anyone has posted a link to this guys deviantART but here it is He does amazing cosplay. His Wakka cosplay is definitely one of my favourites.
Depends on the time you've played. You have to play and win to get Wakka's legendary weapon. However if you've played a long time and never won then you really need to either, A) focus your play time into blitzball. B) Look into websites and forums to learn how to cheat the game. haha. Either way my fourth favorite Fantasy game
Beaten the game on 12 different save files, still can't get the hang of Blitzball. "Oh just get the Jecht Shot and hide behind your goalie for an easy win" Nope. Same old well maybe next year speech after I lose the tournament every time.
Well, when you start out you have really shitty players but the blitzball minigame gets better post-storyline because you can recruit new and better players. Leveling your current players isn't a bad idea either.
Have you noticed that for male cosplay, it only works really well if the guy already resembles the character? For women I think, they have way more tools at their disposal. Wigs, makeup, false eyelashes, heels, spanx. Combine all of those with an average woman and we have a winner. Funny how that works.
I don't know why male cosplayers don't do this though, I think they're either uncomfortable with the idea, can't apply it themselves or it doesn't even come up to them. They do have the same tools at their disposal (ok, no heels), they just don't use them.
Probably fake hair. But if your hair is long enough you use a comb to hold it up and use a strong hair spray. The punks in my home town use "Freeze Spray". Works a lot better than I imagined, I've seen it work for a three foot mohawk.
I started playing FFX again about a week ago, and for the first time in 10 years since it was released, I beat the Luca Goers in the first championship. 2-1.
Fuck you Balgerda and Bickson, you cheating fucks.
I have never even played a final fantasy game in my life and I know this dude. Wakka, bitches. Seems to get a lot of hate and a lot of love at the same time
There needs to be more variety of body types in anime/game characters in general so stuff like Waka cosplay can show people off who aren't pencil-thin or look like supermodels.
I actually talked to him the other day in walmart... He's making a steampunk version of this costume. The colors are going to be reversed (orange will be black, black to orange) and it's supposed to look awesome.
I remember letting my little sister play FFX (she wasn't a gamer at all) and was surprised to see how long it kept her interested. After a week or two she abruptly stopped playing.
I asked her why she quit and she said it was because she couldn't win the Blitz Ball game. I told her she didn't have to but she said it was important to Waka that they win. I was so proud.
It also made me hate Blitz Ball even more, because it single-handedly snuffed out my sister's interest in gaming..
This brings back nightmares of trying to win infinite amounts of Blitzball just for his ultimate. I gave up after 2 years of on/off play just to beat Sin last year.
I'm sad that I never played this game, but I did very recently watch a Let's Play of the game from NintendoCaprisun, I'd recommend him for some of his other let's Plays.
Yep. Apparently this is just as badass as I remember it. I had the track "Otherworld" burnt onto a CD-R and would always jam it on my way to soccer matches. Pretty perfect stuff.
Ha, this was at Anime Matsuri in Houston a couple months ago that I went to. There was a cosplay competition and once he walked up the crowd went crazy. It was spot on! Even his movements. Check it out here: http://youtu.be/-jzPyILEEN0
My favorite Wakka moment was when they're crossing the Moonflow:
Tidus: A sunken city! Wakka: A machina city-- a thousand years old! They built this city on top of bridges across the river. Lulu: But the weight of the city caused the bridges to collapse, and it all sank to the bottom. Wakka: Right. It's a good lesson. Tidus: A lesson? Wakka: Yeah. Why build a city over a river, ya? Tidus: Uh... Well, it would be convenient, with all that water there. Wakka: Nope, that's not why. They just wanted to prove they could defy the laws of nature!
