blitzball

People from Spira must have special lungs or something. Even Yuna can breathe underwater, look at the kissing scene for example.
 
What Sapphirestar said - you have to assume that since many Spirans live so close to water, they frequently practise holding their breaths underwater until their lung capacity increases enough to let them play Blitzball.

Besides - it's Final Fantasy, it's not like it's real. Spirans may well have a special way to filter in oxygen into themselves to let them stay underwater for a while. In Final Fantasy - magic exists for example without any real explanation needed.
 
It is explained a few times, if you talk to the characters, that they train to be able to hold their breaths so long, & that expert players can even sleep underwater. You have to admit, as far as not going, "Fuck it, magic" goes, it's a pretty decent explanation.
 
It's Final Fantasy, it doesn't neccersarily have to make sense.

Mod Edit: Could you add a little more to your post and keep it on topic please? :)

I have to agree, it is weird .. but yeah its still Fantasy anyway so it never crossed my mind how they do it , well sometimes but I didnt think it was such a big issue anyway.

I think Blitzball players are all well developed for underwater, but it always annoyed me when I fight Shinryu underwater - the only players I can fight with are Rikku, Wakka and Tidus.

Lulu etc. cant breath?/hold there breath long enough?, underwater?
 
Its Final Fantasy....its that simple huh.....yeah I'll buy that
But you will notice that not everyone has the same amount of Blitzball HP, suggesting that not everyone is as good at it holding there breath, wait everyone knows that's what the HP represents?(I'm sure they do, you idiot)

lt could also be that the water pressure causes the creation of a semi-stable oxygen byproduct the releases new but small amounts of recyclable oxygen that can sustain the human biorythm needed to maintain a stable heart beat at the depth of a Blitz Sphere.

But l could be wrong
 
Galaxy: What?

Lulu, Auron, etc. don't seem like great swimmers & are never given a reason to be.

What do you mean what?

lts quite simple based on the pressure from the water on the lungs the oxygen volume is sustained through the continuous replenishment of new material in the lungs, like when you breath and hold your breath you would pass out right, because no new oxygen is being brought in to your body.

When pressure is placed on certain particles in high density they can sometimes create a byproduct that sustains the particles through electron degeneracy.....and we dont know if its actually water in the Blitz sphere do we?

Any number of substances can be added to Water.

Regardless, you would have to filter out the particles from the liquid. There's plenty of oxygen in water, our bodies just aren't designed to use it.

Also, that's kind of like saying that the Bible never tells us Jesus ISN'T a velociraptor.
 
And what if he was would that shake your faith?

How do you know there there is no substance in the water that is able to be absorbed through the skin to replenish the stored oxygen in the lungs. I'm not saying use the oxygen it the water, I'm suggesting the oxygen in the body is replenished.

Edit:I don't want to disregard you N.B by saying something like "your an idiot"......
just what do you want me to say?

me and my friend actually had a heated discussion (code for arguement) about this a coupla months back, his theory was that all Spiraians have gills (yup, like fishes) hidden somewhere on their bodies and are able to choose between their gills or lungs to take in the oxygen required.

Personally i believe that the Blitzball arena isn't actually water, but some highly concentrated for of fluid that is mostly Oxygen as to allow the players to be able to breath using their lungs
 
Gills! thats hilarious!
l dont want to diss your friend, but dont you love it when someone has it so wrong!
Your point about the liquid in the Blitz sphere is interesting, do you think along the lines of it evaporating into oxygen when seperated from the rest of the material and then retaining enough of the base material to be reabsorbed into the Sphere.

There once absorbed, it can be regenerated with residual matter, supposedly because its an artificial liquid new liquid could pumped in to the Sphere while the used liquid removed.

If theres one I love ifs theoretical field design.

^^ Yeah, like Olivia said, it's Final Fantasy-- there's things in games that don't make sense but, they do it anyways. It's not a really big question to me tbh. I was (at the time) old enough to understand that it was just a game and that things that occur in them aren't necessarily true in Real life.
 
Well, it isn't called Final Fantasy for nothing. My guess is that there are pyreflies in the water that allows them to breathe for prolonged periods of time. Or they could just be badass that way to be able to breathe like that. Of course, I could be wrong and we could go back to saying it's because it's Final FANTASY. Either one will do. :awesome:
 
Did anyone else see that the water is localized in a giant gravitational sphere? I'm surprised people are more concerned with the fact they can breathe let alone the anti-gravity technology that I don't think could ever exist in anything other than science fiction. The fact is HOT water is actually rich with oxygen, I'm sure we've all seen water boil. I'm sure if their technology can push the boundaries of physics, that somewhere in that law defying nature... the act of breathing isn't such a big deal. Likely whatever machine they use to emulate the giant consistent sphere of water is one in the same with the method the players use to breathe. Other than that, maybe there all illegitimate children of Aqua Man. :O
 
I sort of agree with what Dark Valefor said about the liquid not being water. I still think its water but maybe its had something added to it or its been modifyed somehow.

Also i dont think its a "Gravitational Sphere" because considering the size of the sphere and how much gravity is affecting the sphere from different angles, it would drag everyone and everything inside the sphere, it to the centre.
 
I think what Matti says is more of a field projection rather than a Sold gravity manipulation device, I assume? A localized gravity field Would certainly pull you in a set direction, unless you account for field reversal of the gravitons in the field and can produce a radiation
that can reverse the Sign of graviton, coz l certainly don't know of one lol!

It is most likely an artificial Liquid oxygen blend but with as, l said, a component
particle allowing for an almost immediate brakedown from liquid to gas in the lungs and back again when expelled into the water

How do you explain the fact that if the guys in the Blitz Sphere get knock out if they run out of hit points? If the liquid was sustaining to the players they would not collapse when low on breath?

It is common water lol. (in the Luca sphere)
Remember the first mission on Spira with Rikku in the sea????? they could be underwater for a long time.
