[aka958]

Soon out in the U.S and in around 1 and a half month it is in Europe.
I've been longing for this game since it came out in Japan.
There has been released a demo for it on the psn in english.

For those who don't know Dissidia Final Fantasy is a fighting game. Where the characters you play are the Main heros and villains in the final fantasy game 1 to 10 and 2 secret characters.
You'll level up your characters get new skills, buy and/or find new equipment.
When fighting you are using two different categories of attacks.
Brave attacks wich are attacks that higher your brave points and HP attacks where you attack with the damage with your brave points you've gained during the fight.
There is lot more but to much to explain if you want to know more then you can check the Gamefaqs reviews for it.

Are there anyone more that wants this game?

Heh, heh, heh. I've already paid and preordered, collectors Edition, too :lol: Instead of paying £40.00 I've only had to pay £20.00

Anyway, this games looks pretty awesome, I can't wait to play it. It's just a shame that we don't get the option of changing the Voice Actors from English to Japanese But the good thing, is that Tidus, Sephiroth, Cloud etc all have their original VA's. I'll probably end up writing a review.

Did they really need to make Kuja wear a thong!? -.-'

Wow! Where did you get that bargin? £20! Fantastic! ^__^

Well, seeing as I pre-ordered FF Dissidia online at www.game.co.uk), it went from £40 to 30 and when I logged into my game account, I found out that I had 4,000+ Reward points (£10) Which the reduced it to £20 ^__^

I went with "Free Delivery" so instead it being delivered at my flat on the morning of the release date, I'll be getting it on the following Monday as they don't deliver on sundays. I wanted to get it on the release date, but i can't seeing as I won't be at my address for the weekend >_>"

Wow nice!
I'll probably be picking it up at Game too...I have a few vouchers to redeem from my Birthday ^^

 

[One Winged Angel]

I lost my reward Card ages ago D: Do you know how i can get a new card without having to buy a new card?

Haha. It's well worth getting the collectors Edition.

Hey, does Tidus looks different to any of you? (Not his clothes)

Yeah, you can collect points by just giving your postcode and address with your name...but can't redeem them. If you go into a store and ask for a new card they should send you one out for free ^_^

Tidus looks a little different...I think less 'muscled' if that makes sense...probably the Graphical Downgrade.

 

[aka958]

Tidus got that white thing sticking up behind his head. I thought he had a hood hanging at the back of his neck but now he got a thing sticking up from his shirt and on it I see something that looks like an earring.

Wich character do you want to play the most?

I dunno wich one i would like to play the most so i set a top 3 list:

Kefka (Epic!)
Cloud of Darkness (something tells me from all those videos that she is awesome)
The emperor (He does look like an good character to play with)

The villains is characters I've never played with so they are those i wish to play with first but the heroes looks awesome to.

They just told me to ring up costumer service and what not -.-' I found a little option on the site where I can get a replacement which is good.

He seems somewhat smaller to me, and his face looks quite different >_>" I'm a little bit disappointed how a few characters look (On the good side), however, on the evil side everyone seems to look perfectly fine to me. (Not too sure about Jecht, though,)
I actually thought that the secret characters would be 'awesome' but to me, their not >_>" I'm quite impressed with the Graphics for this game, 'cause while your attacking the opponent, you may also end up slashing at the wall and the wall actually gains slash marks.


Seeing as we're talking about FFD or FF in general I shall post this link XD
This is the reason why Sephy seems to get this ass kicked in most youtube vids for Dissidia.

[aka958]

A little off topic from Dissidia but that is an EPIC vid! first time i like a the sims video.

And Tidus looks a little more dark in character i think. He doesn't look all the same but he seems more awesome than before.

xD That's seems to the reason why Sephitoth can never take over the world, 'cause to busy dancing XD

He looks darker to you? Eh, it just seems not-so-Tidus like. I wonder what Ex-Death looks like in his Tree form in Ex-burst mode. Squall should of been against Seifer and not Ultimecia. I think Laguna would of been better to play against Ultimeica, does anyone agree/disagree?

Anyway, isn't Garland, Chaos!? 'Cause on FFI you go back in time by 2000 years only to stop Garland from doing whatever he's going (I forget), and he turns into Chaos. :wacko:

If you had Seifer as well as Squall then it would be a Smash Bros Brawl Mistake of Epic proportions...two characters with identical moves...no fun there ^^

Plus, Ultimecia makes for another character without a sword so it mixes it up a little

Anyway, isn't Garland, Chaos!? 'Cause on FFI you go back in time by 2000 years only to stop Garland from doing whatever he's going (I forget), and he turns into Chaos. :wacko:

Garland is Chaos, correct. However Chaos only exists due to a (sigh) Time Paradox in which Garland created to live forever. Thus Chaos was formed.

Chaos and Garland are two seperate entities 2000 years apart.

 

[aka958]

Time paradoxes is strange.
So after he turned into Chaos and WoL (Warrior of Light) and his party fought Chaos what happened?
Chaos came to another dimension where a world ruled by Cosmos existed.
He tried to take it over and a big war broke up and after 2000 years all the FF characters where summoned to fight each others?

 

[Keaton]

I haven't played Dissidia yet and so its own storyline is a mystery to me.
I assume that despite Chaos was destoryed he had become such a powerful embodiment of evil that he still existed somewhere slowly regaining power. As such he brought the most evil beings across the universes together to take-over space and time. In retaliation Cosmos brought forth the denziens of light, warriors whom have proved their worth tenfold to help counter such an epic evil.

Well, thats how I would have it lol

If anyone has the official plotline...feel free to post it up (IN SPOILER TAGS PLEASE)

Yeah. I guess, I didn't really think about it that much >_> Still, I think that Laguna would of been awesome to use, they should've added him as an extra character, or something.

Garland is Chaos, correct. However Chaos only exists due to a (sigh) Time Paradox in which Garland created to live forever. Thus Chaos was formed.

Chaos and Garland are two seperate entities 2000 years apart.

Well, that's another reason why the had to use Garland, I guess.

This one is gameplay ^_^

Dissidia is an action-based fighting game mixed with RPG elements. Battles take place on fully rendered 3D fields, with characters free to roam around as they please. The environment can also be interacted with, with characters able to run up walls, grind along railings and destroy pillars and floors with attacks. In battle, players have two types of attacks - Bravery and HP. Every character has their Bravery Points located above their HP bar, and whenever they land an HP attack, the damage done is equal to their Bravery. Striking an opponent with a Bravery attack will drain their Bravery and increase the attacker's, thus increasing the HP damage they can do. If a player's Bravery is reduced to below zero, they enter "break" mode, where they cannot inflict HP damage, Bravery attacks against them do increased damage, and their opponent receives a significant boost to their Bravery. Every character has their own unique fighting style and attacks, usually based on the character's abilities in their original game.
In addition to Bravery and HP attacks, players can use Summons to assist them in battle, and can find new Summons in certain stages or as part of a stage bonus. There is also an "EX Bar" meter which fills up during battle by collecting the EX Force that appears when players strike each other, or the randomly appearing EX Cores. Once filled, the character can enter EX Mode which grants a character-specific bonus and gives access to an EX Burst, a special move that deals massive damage to their opponent. These moves are often a reference to each character's signature attack in their respective game, such as Squall using his Renzokuken or Kefka using Light of Judgment. After the battle is over, characters are rewarded with Gil, EXP, and AP. Further awards may be given if the player fulfills certain conditions during the fight itself, such as winning within a time limit or landing an attack of a certain strength.


The gameplay controls of Dissidia.
Of the twenty-two playable characters, each maintains their own Experience level, and share the same equipment supply. Characters begin at level one with only a handful of basic moves, but as they gain Exp and level up they can learn more advanced moves. These moves are equipped to a character using CP, with a character able to equip as many moves as they wish as long as the total does not exceed their maximum CP. By earning AP, a character can master a move, reducing the CP needed to equip it. Characters can also earn various bonus abilities and bolster their stats through equipment and accessories. Player can also earn PP, which are used to purchase special gameplay features, such as new characters or bonus music tracks.
In storyline gameplay, players move about a token representing their character on a tiled gameboard, and move up to objects and enemies and interact with them using "Destiny Points". Every time the player moves their character, they must use one Destiny Point, and can sometimes earn more by defeating enemies. If the player is able to finish a stage without using all their Destiny Points, they earn a special bonus. When the player reaches the Stigma of Chaos at the end of the stage, the stage is completed and the player is awarded Gil and PP depending on their remaining Destiny Points, HP, and other factors. Sometimes at the end of a stage, the player fights another character; in all ten "Destiny Odyssey" stages, after five stages the player fights their character's nemesis in the arena from their original game, such as Cloud fighting Sephiroth at the Planet's Core. When all ten Destiny Odyssey stages are completed, the player is given access to the Shade Impulse storyline, which leads the final boss of the game, Chaos.

Spoiler

The story follows the conflict between Chaos and Cosmos and their allies, drawn from the main series games of Final Fantasy. Backstory for the various characters are also given in "Reports", which are divided into Cosmos Reports and Chaos Reports. Within the history of Dissidia, Chaos and Cosmos have been at war with each other for an eternity, but thus far neither side has emerged victorious. As the game begins, it seems Chaos has finally gained the upper hand. The Warrior of Light finds Cosmos mortally wounded from a battle with Chaos. With the forces of light in peril, Cosmos appears before the other nine heroes and entrusts them with the task of recovering the Crystals, which can save their worlds.
Though they do not fully understand the quest Cosmos sets before them, the heroes set out to retrieve the Crystals in the hopes they can end the war. Each of the ten heroes has a storyline following their journey to recover their respective Crystal. Each storyline also parallels to a certain extent the events, or at least the spirit, of the storyline in the hero's original game - Terra's story deals with her amnesia and her waning control over her powers, Cloud's concerns his indecisiveness and questioning his reason for fighting, Squall is torn between helping his friends and fulfilling his duty, and so forth.
As the game progresses, flashbacks and character interludes reveal that the war has happened before, but many characters cannot remember the previous battles. Through the words of Garland, and the "Reports" acquired during the game, it is revealed that the war has been going on for an eternity - every time the war ends and one of the gods is slain, the dragon Shinryu restores the losing god to life and the war begins anew. Though most of the heroes do not know this, the villains do, and have a plan in motion to end the war in their favor before Shinryu awakens.
The heroes return to Cosmos with their Crystals, but Chaos appears and incinerates the goddess, and departs back to his realm. With Cosmos gone, her power over the heroes fades and they begin to fade back to their own worlds. However, with the last of her strength inside them, the Crystals are able to keep the heroes from fading. Determined to avenge Cosmos and see her will fulfilled, the heroes journey to the Chaos Shrine, each confronting their respective villain once again. At this time it is revealed that the villains allowed the heroes to collect the Crystals, which contained Cosmos' light, and their shining caused Cosmos to weaken to the point she couldn't be revived, a "perfect death". Now that Cosmos gone for good, the cycle of war is over, with Chaos as the ultimate victor. Resolving to destroy Chaos and claim vengeance for Cosmos, the heroes each defeat their villain once again in battle.
At the Chaos Shrine, the ten Crystals combine to open the path to Chaos' realm, and the ten heroes confront the god of discord on his throne. After an epic battle, Chaos is defeated and is consumed in flames as the heroes vanish. They appear in the fields outside Cornelia, and after some reminiscing, each return to their own worlds with their Crystal safe, while Warrior of Light returns to Cornelia.
In the secret ending of the game, unlocked after obtaining all the Reports, Cosmos is shown to be alive in her world. She has a discussion with Cid of the Lufaine, implying that the war still has not yet ended.

I'm trying my hardest NOT to look at that >_>" Anyway, I believe that's the Final Fantasy Dissidia storyline.

This game makes me wish that my PSP hadn't died a while back.

 

[aka958]

This game is one of the reasons i bought a PSP

 

[Zato-OW]

This game is a ok game. It's fun when you first play it but it gets boring after awhile. The story line is generic but I guess if your a FF fan it wouldn't matter. Anyway good game couldve been better.
