For those of you who don't know, it's a Super Smash Bros. -style action/fighting game featuring a hero and villain from each of the first ten Final Fantasy games (plus a couple of extras).
The cast is: (hope the spoiler tag works)
[spoiler]Warrior of Light (Fighter) - Garland
Firion - Emperor Mateus
Onion Knight - Cloud of Darkness
Cecil - Golbez
Bartz - Exdeath
Terra - Kefka
Cloud - Sephiroth
Squall - Ultimecia
Zidane - Kuja
Tidus - Jecht
Shantotto (FFXI)
Judge Gabranth (FFXII)[/spoiler]
It's already been out in Japan for a year or so, but it's due for NA release on August 24th. It's for PSP.
So is anyone else excited for it? I bought a PSP specifically for that game (but there's a few others that I wanted to get anyways). In case you can't tell, I'm a huge FF fan, and the videos look pretty awesome. Plus, I heard somewhere that the NA version will have some extra content (more storyline scenes, more NPCs from other FF games, and maybe even a few new playable characters), so that's going to be awesome.
Yeah, I'm excited. Plus, if it sells well, they'll make Dissidia 2, which means Kain! And Yuna! And maybe Sora.
-
Sounds fun. Can't wait to beat the **** out of Cloud and Squall. If it will even see daylight in Europe.
-
I've heard of it, but I'm kinda "meh" to the premise of it. It mainly sounds like they're just trying to buy out their fans with a humungoriffic FF mash up that has a damn weird plot. Plus I don't really like PSP's. If they end up releasing a DS version though, I'd definitely try it out.

Yes, those bastards ruined FF! Terra will take great pleasure in castrating them. :P

Hmm, a DS version would be cool. They would probably make it more like Smash Bros though, by putting it on a 2D plane. Which would be better, actually, because Nintendo has yet to release a Smash Bros DS (Jump Superstars or whatever can go to hell).
-
I have kept tabs of this. Development seems to be whacky though. And as I know it's more of a versus fighting game, than it is a smasher.
-
I've been following this game since it was announced, and it looks great. Too bad it's only on the PSP.
-
Played it.
Wasn't as great as they make it look and sound I'm afraid.
The computer enemies always get the X-thingy and rapes your health.
Also, all the mage characters spam you to death before you can say "oh **** - she's hot"
And the controlls are rather annoying at start, you keep jumping to the wrong sides and going up places you weren't supposed to go.
And the computer players fly around like moths around you draining your patience for the game.
Anyway- quite fun, cloud is overrated. It's easy to spamm stuff. Like any FF.
Also, Sora won't be in this game. He's in a fanservice -spin off already.
-
No, Sora isn't in Dissidia. However, Nomura (the guy in charge of Dissidia) said that, if there were to be a sequel, they would definitely add Kain and maybe add some Kingdom Hearts characters (likely Sora and Riku). Also, they wanted to add Seymour as the villain for FFX, but didn't because they would've had to put in Yuna as the hero representing FFX (which would've been an improvement in my opinion). So that very likely means either Seymour or Yuna in Dissidia 2 - likely Yuna as she's far more interesting.
Also... Gilgamesh, Seifer, Vivi, Balthier. Those are my picks for the inevitable.

Ew, DS. I hate the DS. **** is overrated.
Also, I hope Seymour. I liked Seymour. Way better than Sephiroth.
-
Also... Gilgamesh, Seifer, Vivi, [strike]Balthier[/strike]. Those are my picks for the inevitable.
Remember that Yuna might be the FFX-2 yuna. Fan service is a big thing these days.
Also, if they take Yuna they pretty much have to take Garnet, Tifa, Riona ect. Becasue they too are the female protagonists.
-
I've had a PSP for a while. It's kinda just been lying around though. I don't have money for new games, and my old games are getting boring. I used it for portable internet purposes for a while, until the "not enough memory" crap started to get so frequent it wasn't even worth it.
That thing has so much wasted potential. I'm pretty much waiting until I can get a hold of the things I need to do a "pandora's battery" on it, so I can get custom homebrew applications, like emulators and stuff. Until then, it's an expensive paperweight. :\
Needless to say, I probably won't be getting this game. Looks cool for Final Fantasy fans though, I presume.
-
But.... but Balthier is the Leading Man! He's leagues better than Vaan! Basch is close though.
Rinoa wouldn't be bad (though Seifer or Edea would be better). Tifa would be a safe pick, considering that, besides Cloud and Sephiroth, she's one of the most popular FF7 characters (alongside Zack and Vincent). Garnet also wouldn't be bad, considering they don't have much in the way of White Mages in Dissidia. Even Ashe wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
But as for pre-7? The only worthy female characters are Terra (already in) and Faris (the only character besides Gilgamesh that didn't suck in FF5). Unless you want a generic female White Mage.
Also, I'm forgetting spinoffs. Every Tactics character save for Thunder God Cid sucks, Crystal Chronicles sucks, Chocobo games suck, those board game things suck, and pretty much every other FF not in the main series sucks. However, Crono would be awesome. As would a Dragon Quest character (a slime, lol).
-
I wanna do some work with Zidane, my friend already has it (of course it in Japanese) and fun as hell. I didn't see any Brawl style combat, it it more like DBZ combat (flying through the air, moving fast, explosions, ect.)
-
I got this game, jap version obviously. It is pretty fun, and kept me entertained for awhile. I mainly just played as Kefka/Cefca as he was pretty crazy, and I love his theme and laugh.
I kind of wanted Gilgamesh in it, but all I got was a Butz ghost named Gilgamesh, with all of the Genji equipment.
The only new content I have heard of is some new scenes, and some new attacks for Squall and Cloud. Cloud and Sephiroth were pretty weak, which made it even better to beat them up.

Also, all the mage characters spam you to death before you can say "oh **** - she's hot"
And the controlls are rather annoying at start, you keep jumping to the wrong sides and going up places you weren't supposed to go.
And the computer players fly around like moths around you draining your patience for the game.
Sounds like you were not that good. It is easy to counter that if you know what you are doing. By "fly around like moths", did you mean that weird air dash? Because you can do that to, to go after them, but I do not remember if you needed a skill to do so.
And Felix, Zidane does do work. I spammed his attacks to beat the stupid final boss, who you had to beat three times in a row. I found that annoying.
-
Unless you want a generic female White Mage.
Only in the remakes. The White mage was originaly a male character.
As would a Dragon Quest character (a slime, lol).
The hero from the newer DQ wouldn't make for a bad character. Also there's Ortega.
-
Or Madason. I think they're going back to generic customizable characters for DQIX, but if they have any specific characters from that, they could use it for marketing.
But really, all of the main heroes from the DQ games are the same ability-wise, so it doesn't matter. But, for some reason, I don't think they'll add a DQ character to Dissidia Final Fantasy... though Sonic's in Brawl, so who knows?
-
Hmmm... a game where Cecil is a playable character that ISN'T FF4... I'm intrigued.
No Kain though, or Spoony Bard.
-
I'm sorry. But I find FFXII to be just as much a spin-off as Tactics, tactics advance, crystal chornicles and Final fantasy 11(&14).
It doesn't even have any original characters. Everyone can learn everything. Their stats-differences are sadly small and they just plainly suck.
It would be like the onion knight but no cool class changes.
-
Again. not braawl.
-
It doesn't even have any original characters. Everyone can learn everything.
How does this differ from Final Fantasy VIII?
-
Or VII? Or V? Or III? Or II?
Job systems have been around in FF for some time. And, at least with XII, there's Revenant Wings for abilities. Plus, Vaan and Penelo were in FFTA2, and Balthier was in the FFT remake, so there's even more to draw from.
And other than Penelo, all of the XII characters are interesting personality-wise. So I think at least one of them deserves a place in the next Dissidia.
-
I actually prefer Final Fantasy IX and X above these others just because the characters have a goal. They have specific means for a battle, not something every character can learn.
-
They need yuna and that one weird rival chick from FFX-2 :3

Uh... In FFX, you could move characters through other people's part of the Sphere Grid instead of their own. So in essence, you could make any character into any "job", though there are some abilities that characters can't learn (Overdrives, Aeons, breathing underwater)
-

True, but their stats differed so much, you could still assign them to classes. With FFVIII, you could even raise the stats with magic.
-
At least the characters in VII, VIII and X had overdrives and stuff that actually was more than just different cutscenes for dealing 9999 damage.
Also, a bit harder to get all abilities in X, you actually had a lot of nodes everywhere and paths to take, nods to unlock ect.
In XII you could pretty much take anything anytime. Bored the shizzle out of me.
And the FFXII characters were in the games belonging to Ivalice. Because that's the world they come from - Ivalice the Final fantasy tactics world.
And no, the characters in XII is like Star wars although Chewbaca is a hot furry and Luke wants to be a skypirate like Han Solo. Also Darth vader is in fact Obi wans twin brother.
Also, yes. FFIX was the best game so far. Many abilities but everyone couldn't learn everything. Or at least not from the same piece of equipment.
-

Exactly. FFIX had BIG differences of character abilities. In FFX, you can learn everything, but not as effective. In FFIX you can't learn peeps all abilities. Only Vivi gets black magic, etc etc.

I liked FF8 the best, although I am thinking FFX13 will change that.

Why?
-
Hoping it's better than FF8. Since every other FF has been crap, and that's sating something from me.

Dude, it is XIII in it's title. 13, UNLUCKY NUMBER! :P
-
XIII doesn't do it for me. Girly Cloud (literally; the developers have called Lightning a female version of Cloud) and more generic steampunk based around crystals. It's like a weird mashup of FF4 and FF7. Though apparently they're making a few sequels/prequels to it right off the bat, so maybe those will be decent.
-
Maybe that's why Seven has such fanboyry!
Any final fantasy doesn't do it for me. I am an FF hater, however unlike a lot of them haters, I've played the great majority of FF games. Just that FF13 appeals to me because of the female lead. Brings back to the old FF days.
And what I hate about cloud is his stupid character attributes, not his design.
-

Here I am thinking FFVIII is the worst of the bunch.
-
You havent even played it though. Great scott, i am defending an FF title.

Actually I am currently playing it. On disc 3. Drace is not impressed, at all. Boring battle system; boring story. Squall is the most horrible FF lead character I have yet to encounter.
All statements stated in this post are completely personal opinions and should not be accounted to facts or attacks on own opinions.
-
*shakes head* Sorry I read FFXIII in your last post.
As for my liking of FF8, I do enjoy it because I do feel it has a more mature-theme story than the rest. That isn't to say it's the best, but i felt it stood up on that ground.

More mature-themed story? We playing the same game? Cause the game I'm playing has the same story as always. Big evil [optional: sorcerer /sorceress] + emo bits + love story.
EDIT: And that's to say, Squall is an even bigger emo than Cloud was.
-
No... Squall is a pussy. Cloud is an emo.
-
Weapon study
Cloud: Horrifically oversized sword that he strangely is able to lift like it were hollow cardboard or Styrofoam. Even then, wind resistance would likely slow it down too. Impractical and badly misused weapon type. You can't one-hand this, I don't care if he is a science experiment.
Sephiroth: Oversized katana that would likely shatter very easily due to structural weakness from over extension.
Squall: A gunblade, a gun handle and trigger, attached to a sword blade... wat?
-
I was always more curious as to how Sephiroth was able to get around with that katana of his. If he were entering a small or narrow room, he would have a difficult time maneuvering the sword to go into the room with him, as it would get caught in the door, hit random things/people, and break stuff.
-
No, you're right. In fact Squall's hair in the game is just that.
-
No... Squall is a pussy. Cloud is an emo.
No, Squall was the emo.
I quote:
(I liked him... wasn't really a bad guy. He was one of us... You've become just a memory. Will they... Will they talk about me this way if I die, too? Squall was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want? So this is what death is all about... Not for me. I won't have it!!!) "I won't have it! I'm not having anyone talk about me in the past tense!""
"(Leader? I never asked to be the leader. I've had it up to here with this leader thing... Alright, alright... I'll choose.)
"Sis... Where'd'yoo go? Yoo don't like me anymore? Sis? I'm... all alone. But I'm doing my best... I'll be ok without you, Sis. I'll be able to take care of myself." [Squall as a child] (... I didn't turn out ok at all.) [Squall adult]
(I guess that's how it goes. Friend or foe... It all comes down to circumstances. That's how we were raised. It's... nothing special. Nothing special... Is that true? Then... what is it I'm feeling?)"
There are way more MORE MORE examples of just what a whiny little bitch he is.
-

Exactly. He's A PUSSY.
Case closed. move on with your life FF7 is not gonna die if you don't defend Cloud's "non-emoness".
-

I don't really understand what you're going for? I'm not defending Cloud or FFVII. I dislike FFVII almost as much as FFVIII. Cloud is emo, and I mentioned I dislike him in a previous post.
Can't wait to beat the **** out of Cloud and Squall.
See?
All I'm trying to get to is that Squall is a bigger emo.
Also, don't go bitching to me with your "CASE CLOSED" bullshit just because you're too stubborn to continue a disagreement.
You sir, fail at arguing.
-
Well, even if Squall has the personality of cardboard. Atleast he doesn't have the personality of cigar ash like Cloud does or the all so interesting personality of a plaster wall like Sephiroth has.

Are you trying to tell me that Sephiroth ISN'T a plaster wall?
-
Sephiroth is boring. I honestly don't get this "Sephiroth is awesome" hype, probably just the hair. In my opinion, Seymour is the better evil character. Better motif, more awesome ways to get to them.
-
I agree 100%. Sephiroth HAD no motive! And I always agrue with my friend about it, Sephiroth is a bullsh*t villian who's just there to be strong and pretty. Seymour is much more deserving of being the better villian
-
Heck, Kefka is a better angel/god-wannabe psycho villain.
-
Definately! Kefka had... a personality! :O
-

Yup. Chances are we'll get flamed for this. I have ALWAYS been flamed when I said Seymour was a better villian and even a likeable villian. Sure, he looks gay. But his motif was awesome, tricking Yuna into marrying her, she not falling for it and he doing it anyways, sweet. To become Sin, the one thing people fear most, just to kill everyone to rid them of their sin, that's pure evil and mental issues. Better than destroying because what again? He could? He was a clone? Meh, boring.
Kefka was Final Fantasy VI (international / japan) right?
-
Yeah, the dude from FF6. He was also a funny villian. You could take him seriously and laugh at him too

Sweet. FFVI is next up my list, after beating FFVIII and Shadow Hearts 3.

You are all crazy!
Everyone knows that Necron in FFIX is the best villain ever.

Of course. Random insert any random looking enemy and you have instant villain win. Wait what?

Sephiroth is liek totally kawaii and awesoem and he could kick seymour's ***
But seriously, I don't see the appeal of the bishie FF guys. I mean, I know Japanese girls are weird, but how many girls play Final Fantasy compared to guys?
Also, the greatest FF villain is Garland. He'll totally knock you all down. And up.
EDIT: It should also be mentioned about Seymour that he was a f*cking ghost when he made Yuna marry him. You have to wonder how that would work...

You have to have cannon balls of steel to challenge Bikke!

Uh.... I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE YOU!
....yeah. Can't think of any more right now.
-
I stopped playing FFXII because of the battlesystem.
And the art style.
Annoying-bitch-boy (I forgot his name, the main dude) looked horrid.
Anyways, VI is my favorite.
Also, is it just me, or has Drace been watching a lot of Spoony lately?
Or at least enough to make him go "Hmm...is it really that bad?"
-
I can't be arsed to read the whole topic.
I saw gameplay videos of this. It looks goddamn appaling. The only reason it will sell is raving FF fanboys, the game leaves a lot to be desired.
-

To be quite honest, I have only see two Spoony videos, ever. And one of them was with Linkara being the main character.
I just feel that shouldn't judge anything that easily, especially when it comes to the title "worst".
-
I was just kidding dude.
Only reason why I said that is because he has an entire series devoted to FFVIII hating, and just finished.

Only saw a Dead Space review, if I remember right.
