Then you'd accept it if people were able to fly in FFX? Or if all Blitzball players had webbed feet? Or if the main party all decided to have a big orgy in Macalania Woods?

FFX is fantasy, but even a fantasy world has rules. Fantasy world doesn't mean anything can happen - it means different things happen because their world follows a different set of world properties. But on a very basic level, it must be relative to our own world or people wouldn't be able to give a damn beyond a few speculative minutes.

See, that I can understand. If they explain it, then whatever.

Yes but in some fantasy role playing games there is a water breathing limit. Only way you can break that limit is with a spell or a potion. Although it's a fantasy game, it doesn't mean it cannot be some what realistic.

Nomura doesn't seem to put a whole lot of thought into his designs beyond 'what looks cool'. He probably decided that logic wasn't a good enough reason to scrap the whole Blitzball idea but at the same time couldn't think of a decent explanation for why these guys can spend over 10 mins underwater, so he just left it ambiguous.

Troll.

Um, anyway...the breathing underwater things makes no sense to me. I suppose a spell would work though.

So true. That's exactly why Lulu has fifty functionless belts in her skirt.

Interesting answer. I guess it does seem cool and like you said alot of thought was placed into the idea of Blitzball and probably thought there was no need to explain it.

And yeah at Lulus skirt with the ulitmate hold up bra and 50 odd belts! They look cool, so the creators probably thought no one would question it lol

I'm just goin on a limb here, but bear with me

Remember the movie Abyss? When the main guy went down into the depths thy put in his suit water, and he could breath in it, I can't remember now, but I think it contained something that allowed him to breath in it. Well maybe this is something like that

Call my logic crazy, but it does explain it i a way

It's all about holding your breath. In the epilogue in FFX: International (Another Side, Another Story or whatever it was called) it begins with Yuna practicing holding her breath underwater, and she gets to the longest she had yet (3 minutes, I think, it's been awhile since I watched it).

True, though, that there isn't much of anything to explain it in the main story, however.

Its a pity that it wasnt released on the other side of the pond because it sounds like an fun and interesting part.

Maybe it is in the air of Spira... when they take a long breath before the dive they inhale some weird substance in the air and they can breathe underwater. Also the spell ideea works with me.
