The story's central character is Tidus, a professional athlete and all-around gregarious guy. Tidus plays blitzball, an aquatic sport that plays like a cross between rugby, soccer, and basketball. Blitzball has teams of six and will be a playable minigame. As Tidus travels around the world, he sees many things he finds strange and unusual and constantly asks, "What's that?" The main female character is Yuna, a member of the Ebon summoner tribe and daughter of the tribe's most famous member, Braska. Growing up in his shadow has left her insecure about her own abilities as a summoner. She also suffers from a rare condition called heterochromia, which means having two different eye colors. Other announced characters include Wakka, one of Tidus' fellow blitzball players, as well as Kimari, a hulking beast man, who is Yuna's mentor and guardian. Lulu is a noble magician who attacks with her enchanted moogle doll. Not much is known about the sword-wielding Aaron and thong-clad female thief, Ryukku. A magician named Shimode has been revealed, but he is not currently expected to join the party.
