"It ain't blitzball, but it's got the same thing going for it. If all you see is a bunch of guys throwing spells and themselves at each other, you gotta stop and look again. It's not just brainless! There's some real tactics that gotta go into a scrum like that. How you move, who you move at, what you do -- everything's gotta be decided both lightning-quick and a way that means your team is on the same page too."

That's why the Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III did so well -- it looked great, showed off obvious tactical advantage, and got results all at once.
