Good... god that is terrible.

[ArxTheHero]

This game keeps getting better and better as I see more. It seems they have worked on the cutscenes a little bit.

[Moklin]

This is the game who conviced me to buy a psp. I hope there will be a price cut soon.
I like the boxart but it shoub be changed for na and europe because its not very appelative.
I d like to see that trailler subtitled.

[KuraudoStrife]

This is the Limited Edition box art the normal edition is a the classical white with the logo.

Here is the pics of the LE Bundle:

Terra!!!!!!!!!!! Yay.

I can't wait to see how the characters are with eachother, should be fun. That box art;d be fine if it wasn't so... yellow >_<

Good... god that is terrible.

I think it's beautiful that Amano did that artwork. I'd like it as a wall scroll. I'm a Nomura art fanatic but I think Amano deserves to have his art on the front of this game. I know his style isn't for everyone but that art puts me in euphoria^_^


This game keeps getting better and better as I see more. It seems they have worked on the cutscenes a little bit.

Saw that too. Even though they sped up almost all the cutscene parts, I could tell they touched it up. I can't wait to see that scene in it's entirety. Poor Bartz:lol: looked like he was having a more dificult time tha the others in the fmv

oh and this person subbed it. It's hard to see at the beginning but It's all I could find so far

[Dream Machine]

Hmmmm, that trailer was AWESUM. Though reading the translation I was right in my estimation that the story would make little to no sense. Ah well at least it all looks pretty.

Terra vs Ultimecia? I think I just climaxed.

[Wacka14]

I highly doubt that this fan-service was made with the idea of having a deep plot. but the plot seems simple enough to me.

Chaos and Cosmos fight long ago. Chaos bad. Cosmos good. Good guys fight with Cosmos.Bad guys fight with Chaos. Everyone has a rival and backstory already so everything is set. Silly Dream Machine:lol: looking for "plot":lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:shame on you:nag:

For once I'm not the least bit concerned with plot or reasons. It's just cool that they're all interacting together. It's like Squares answer to all that terrible fanfiction :)

I wondered how they were going to market it. Looks like an Indonesian tapestry or something.

I guess that's better than just a black background with the Dissidia logo...

Thanks for showed the sub traileer.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting War and Peace, but this seems sub-Kingdom hearts, which is saying quite a lot :lol:

Seeing girls with magical powers and swords beating the crap out of each other is my drug of choice.

Squall wants to do everything alone. He's moody and territorial.

[Zezlar]

This game looks insanely good, I'm glad it is coming to the states. At first I thought SE was going to rob us of a good game.

My Characters will be: Squall and....Sephiroth!

[Sundance Kid]

Seeing girls with magical powers and swords beating the crap out of each other is my drug of choice.
I agree, there needs to be more womenz in this game.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

Jesus christ Golbez is huge. And Chaos is FUGLY. :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting War and Peace, but this seems sub-Kingdom hearts, which is saying quite a lot Do agree on the sub-KH thing. :cunning: To be honest I'm not even expecting a worthy storyline, just the idea of beating Sephiroth's ass as Kefka is enough to make me jizz in anticipation.

[Wacka14]

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting War and Peace, but this seems sub-Kingdom hearts, which is saying quite a lot :lol:

Wow. Kingdom Hearts gets so much hate here:|

Kingdom Hearts has a rather interesting and relatively deep plot when it comes down to it...but if you're referring to the talk of "Light" and similar jazz in the Dissidia trailer, I see what you mean.

I find it funny because,Sephiroth talks about the same stuff in Kingdom Hearts. At least Cloud seems hardcore here. He tells Sephiroth to "Rest in Peace":lol: Me likes:D

P.S. Jecht punching Firion in the face...priceless:P

[Dream Machine]

I actually enjoy Kingdom Hearts, but it is very silly.

I mainly want to kill Sephiroth as each and every character. GTFO YOU WERN'T THAT COOL. Terra will destroy him :wtf:

[ArxTheHero]

Has anyone noticed that Squall appears to be the most prominent character in all the trailers exept the first.

[soyrun]

just so i dont get excited for nothing is the game getting released outside of japan?

[Wacka14]

I see what you mean, although I consider Sephiroth to be different breed of villain than half of the badies here. As far as unique or interesting goes, I'd say Sephiroth, Kefka, Jecht, and Kuja win prizes, the others fall into the norm. I also thought they did a good job of barely focusing on Sephiroth or Cloud in this trailer, they had the least dialoug and Cloud wasn't even shown fighting anyone FMV style. VII is still my Fav so far but I'm glad they had them step to rhe side a bit so that the others could soak up some of the light .

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Has anyone noticed that Squall appears to be the most prominent character in all the trailers exept the first.

Yup! And I couldn't be happier, Cloud gets the limelight far too much.

[Wacka14]

Yup! And I couldn't be happier, Cloud gets the limelight far too much.

:lol:Heaven forbid Cloud gets the spotlight in his own game and a movie that's about him. Cloud was a minor presence in Dirge and Crisis Core, and Squall was featured just as much as he was in the Kingdom Hearts series.

I don't want any of them to take the spotlight(Unless it's the Warrior of light since he's the O.G.:awesome:) but I hope that they all(Heroes and Villains) get plenty of time to shine...evenhttp://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/vlcsnap-174856.png Bartz<_<


But Dissidia isn't about CLoud or Squall, it's about thishttp://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/vlcsnap-174537.pnghttp://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/vlcsnap-174306.pngEverybody pumped,Hardcore,weapons at the ready and looking totally Kick-AZZ in a group pose

[Free]

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting War and Peace, but this seems sub-Kingdom hearts, which is saying quite a lot :lol:

As long as it isn't "press X repeatedly to beat the entire villain roster and trigger a 40-minute cutscene," it can be as Kingdom Hearts as it wants.

I'm hoping for traditional button combos, but the gameplay videos I've seen so far are making me nervous.

[Whiplash]

Of course the plot is non-existent, it's a fucking fighting game! They're hardly the paragon of the art of story telling.

[XwingsofaresX]

just so i dont get excited for nothing is the game getting released outside of japan?

to answer that in a nutshell...yes...^_^

it will look so kick-ass!!!!!^_^

[Yue]

Is a fighting game but it looks good and I think this game have a logic storyline. :lol:

[Dream Machine]

Of course the plot is non-existent, it's a fucking fighting game! They're hardly the paragon of the art of story telling.

It has Final Fantasy in the name, which, for all it's faults usually have decent stories. OK Advent Children made me want to throw up, but this game has Terra, Kefka, Ultimecia AND Kuja in it, so it has to be at least passable.

[Whiplash]

Regular Final Fantasy series - RPGs
Final Fantasy Dissidia - Fighting game

Option A had better have a decent plot, it's one of the core components of the game. Option B is a fighting game with Final Fantasy characters in it. Much more than an RPG it will succeed or fail on the strength of its gameplay, not its story. I doubt there'll be any character development; their presence in the game is a tribute to the original series, not an extension of it. So there won't be any of that to make the story more interesting.

And it won't matter really, unless you go into a fighting game, even one made by SE with Final Fantasy characters in it, with unrealistic expectations of an original and good storyline. Besides, it's a crossover and they all wind up reading like bad fanfiction (or like The Flintstones Meet the Jetsons). Kingdom Hearts suggests that SE aren't immune to this either.

Of course I may be pleasantly surprised by the game, but I wouldn't expect a top-notch storyline just because its cast is taken from Final Fantasy games.

[Wacka14]

Anything resembling Story or a coherent plot will be a welcomed bonus...but that's not what I came to dinner for:lol: This is all about the fanservice

And I want me some potions! I've had some before, they don't taste terrible and he cans be beautifulhttp://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/potion_sp.jpg

[Wandering Hands]

Wow. More 'potion' drinks. If I wanted a mediocre product peppered with Nomura's shitty art, I'd go play Kingdom Hearts.

I might buy Dissidia, when the price drops down to the $10 it's worth. Until then, I'll go play a real fighting game.

Oh my, I'm feeling particularly mean tonight.

[Whiplash]

^It's your AIDS.

I wouldn't want to throw them away.

[Wacka14]

Don't worry, Noctis Has AIDS, Square and Nomura already have an obscene amount of your money, they'll give you a few months to break down and buy it

attempting to not buy the games does no good. They just siphon the money out of your bank account and leave the game tied in bamboo leaves at your door. Why do you think any of us played Dirge of Cerberus?:nod:

I've been making fun of him for being forgotten and overlooked for years, so it's nice that he actually seems kinda cool here...aside from the scene in the trailer where he appears to be having a tough time dealing with Golbezhttp://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/vlcsnap-2211034.pnghttp://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/vlcsnap-2212687.png

(having scary thoughts of his japanese voice):blink::blink:!
I can't think of a single english speking person who could emulate that correctly. I usually don't have a problem with English VA's(aside forom Mena Suvari as Aerith) or hold the Japanese ones in such high regard(Terra sounds plain as day) but Kefka sounds perfect and I wonder who could mirror that squealing voice to do it justice:blink:

If you check out psp fanboy mobile.com you'll see that the adhoc party system thing looks great. Online, when you fight, a ghost data forms from your battles and mimics your fighting style. You can fight against yourself or let others fight you ghost data.

Terra, Ultimecia and CoD do make for some good playables, though. As do some of the later Heroes, I guess.

Thats e-mazing... if I could READ japanese...

[Wacka14]

Sucked this info right offa mmorpg.qj.net. Here's some info about Shantotto


http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/www29atwikijp.jpg

And you thought that the character roster for Dissidia was over? Ha! Not by a long shot, if you consider the non-main characters! The hero and villain rosters may be complete for those coming from FF to FFX. Today, the question of whether we'll be seeing other icons from other FF games is answered. First up: Final Fantasy XI represent! Handheld brawlers-in-waiting, I introduce to you: Shantotto!

The new character to be included in Dissidia: Final Fantasy (http://pspupdates.qj.net/Dissidia-Final-Fantasy/cid/3836) was actually confirmed during Square Enix (http://mmorpg.qj.net/tags/square-enix/281)'s FFXI Fan Festival in Japan (http://mmorpg.qj.net/tags/japan/109) today. Apparently, the event's organizers and hosts were excited enough to bring some PSP news to the MMO crowd in front of them.

Chances are, your same expression of "Huh? Who the hell's Shantotto?" was reflected in the MMO gamers' faces with "Huh? What the hell's Dissidia?" Either way, there you have it. Because not all PSP fans are MMO gamers (myself included), here are some facts you should know about Shantotto:


She's a renowned(?) black mage (http://mmorpg.qj.net/tags/mage/4903) in Vana'diel
She's 2-feet tall
She's both considered a hero and villain
She's got a signature evil laugh, ho ho ho ho!

So, Shantotto of FFXI (resident Tarytaru NPC (http://mmorpg.qj.net/tags/npc/3098) of the Windurst Walls manor in Vana'diel) is joining the Dissidia bandwagon. Question now is... will we be seeing FFXII characters next? What about FFXIII?

Other interesting trivia: the actress voicing Shantotto in Dissidia (obviously, the Japanese version) will be Magumi Hayashibara. If you're an otaku, you'll probably remember her as the one who voiced Rei Ayanami in Evangelion and Faye Valentine in



...I can only assume that this means Vaan from ffXII is next

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

they do.

D: Now I defintately have hope of seeing someone from XII. Please let it be Basch, Baltheir or Ashe.

[Selryam]

Yesssss, XI's represented~

But since she's classed as both a hero and villain, that means we won't be getting a second character to represent XI, right?

At least this means XII and maybe XIII have a shot. Hopefully vXIII, too.

[Sadistic]

D: Now I defintately have hope of seeing someone from XII. Please let it be Basch, Baltheir or Ashe.

Yes, hopefully one of those three. As long as they make Ashe's skirt a bit longer. xD

No Vaan, Square-Enix, NO VAAN xD

If I haven't said it already, this game will be awesome and it's a must-buy for me. I wonder how many FMVs will be in it. The modified outifts look quite good but kinda ridiculous. xD

When I saw somebody flying through the air in the upper left corner of this pic, I thought "Who is she?" then I realized. xD

Kefka pulled a Dark Knight Joker. :aldo: You know, with the make-up and all.

[Dream Machine]

Yes, hopefully one of those three. As long as they make Ashe's skirt a bit longer. xD

No Vaan, Square-Enix, NO VAAN xD

Yeah this game needs more vag. I mean Ashe was way more important then Vaan was, plus 1,000 times cooler. Vaan and Penelo GTFO.

[Wacka14]

XII more than clearly sets Vaan up as the main character. COmplaining about it won't change that:| if they use a character from XII, it'll be Vaan. You're setting yourself up to be angry if you believe otherwise.

Vaan wasn't even that bad of a character. He was kinda like Alladin. When compared to Squall and Tidus I find him a lot easier to tollerate

[Little Miss Scarlett]

But Vaan had barely anything to do with the main story, and he wouldn't have any personal enemies or whatever. For the other characters: Basch vs Gabranth, Ashe vs Vayne and (please!) Balthier vs Dr Cid.

Vaan was more of an everyman character. And painfully dull.

Edit: OMFG you did NOT just diss Squall!

[Maester]

Does anybody know if SE will be releasing Limited Edition Dissidia PSP + Game in N.A.?

[Selryam]

Vaan wasn't even that bad of a character. He was kinda like Alladin. When compared to Squall and Tidus I find him a lot easier to tollerate

I'm gonna have to agree there. And it is pretty likely that they're going to choose Vaan as the lead. They'd have to make one huge stretch of a conflict for him and whoever they choose as the villain, but they'll pull it off.

Does anybody know if SE will be releasing Limited Edition Dissidia PSP + Game in N.A.?

Did NA get the Crisis Core bundle? If so, then it's possible, at the least. You never know though, they work in mysterious ways...

[Maester]

I know we got the Crisis Core bundle but thats not say the posability that we will get Dissidia bundle. They DO work in mysterious ways, its what I'm afraid of. :(

[Free]

They really need to make Ashe the next character. Terra should not be reduced to a Smurfette.

Errand boy seems to be the best to describe Vaan, not main character.

Are we ever going to get a Cid in this game? Highwind would kick everybody's ass. Or Balthier or Basch. C'mawn!

[Selryam]

Ashe > Vaan for Dissidia would be a good outcome, but unlikely. At least the other characters are decent. Some of them, anyway. Not that Vaan's bad.

I know we got the Crisis Core bundle but thats not say the possability that we will get Dissidia bundle. They DO work in mysterious ways, its what I'm afraid of. :(

Yeah, I was actually asking, because I wasn't quite sure if you did or not... Not being an American myself.

But as I said, if you did get it, then there's always a chance you'll get it. Probably a good one.

[Sundance Kid]

Yeah this game needs more vag. I mean Ashe was way more important then Vaan was, plus 1,000 times cooler. Vaan and Penelo GTFO.
haha I didn't dislike Vaan and/or Penelo but Ashe all the way for me. She was more of a man then Vaan was, and as for the skirt thing the length is just right.

[soyrun]

I doubt theyll skip putting a cid in but u never no. I hope they do put one though

[Wacka14]

I don't dislike Ashe...I just know square wouldn't choose her because technically Vaan is the main character. The FFXII trailer even says so "... About a boy who wants to become a sky pirate" Vaan showed up in tactics A2, and the sequel is also about him, there's no other way around it. I'm just trying to be realistic. Aim your angry eyes at Square for not making more female leads:lol:


This is also why I was hoping they woud use Lightning, so that Terra wouldn't be all alone out there:|

[Sundance Kid]

It wouldn't be a legit FF game without a Cid. Hell XII had TWO Cid's

@Wacka: Yeah, I hate to admit it but you're right about Vaan most likely being the main if they were to put FF XII characters in this game. But yeah Terra needs some more vagina on her side around all that under developed little boy penis around her.

[Wacka14]

And if they did(which they won't) choose a girl from XII, It should be Fran. She's reasonably interesting and a much cooler fighter than Ashe. And she has the sexiest voice I've ever heard come out of a game character:wub:

[Sundance Kid]

Couldn't agree more. She's probably one of the sexiest FF female characters in the series (to me). She worked that black armor well to.

*hopes for Fran to be in Dissidia now*

[_Herbal_]

uhmmm.
I saw Sephy in one of trailers.
SOLDIER FIRST CLASS ATTAСKED BY DYSTROPHY!?
P.S. is he gonna be playable? (at last!)
P.P.S. sorry, im quite lazy to check 29 pages :cookie:

If they did do FFXII characters I could see a Balthier vs Cid storyline in Dissidia.

If they are going to use FFXI characters, then I am almost certain that FFXII characters will be in it as well.

FFXI Villain most likely going to be Shadow Lord as well (My opinion)

[Moklin]

WHATTTTTTTT. I wasnt expecting XI chars. Maybe they are extra/bonus chars because they dpnt appear in that CG where there is all chars facing the villains.


OMG. XII chars, please dont appear Vann, nobody likes you.

[Neal]

Omg I know. Im not a fan of the flying about the place and jumping 50 ft into the air but at least that sort of suits Tidus, Cloud, Sephiroth or whatever. Vaan would look retarded doing that.

[Zezlar]

I'm guessing that SE will announce the rest of the characters at their december event along with the other FFXIII stuff.

BTW Shantotto is a TaruTaru Black mage LOL.

[Selryam]

Dissidia needs more hero mages.

And women.

So I'm excited now. But didn't they say Shantotto could be classed as good AND evil somewhere?

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

I disagree with whoever it was that said it will be Vaan representating XII hands down. How are people so eager on jumping to this conclusion? You'd think the choice of having Jecht instead of Seymour would speak volumes of their choices. Or maybe even the recently discovered Shantoro or whatever the frag it's called - Has anyone asked why her? Surely she's not the "real" representative of XI. While I guess it's harder to have a representative for an MMO, wouldn't it more or less equate to the humes? Seeing as how they're used in the FFIX logo and posters?

Really, they're just hidden characters. As in I doubt the rule of picking the technical representatives from each respective game for the main cast applies to the additional characters. They're more like honorable mentions. It's not to say I don't like Vaan, but I don't think they'll be limiting their choices to direct frontman. I'd be more surprised to see him in Dissidia instead of Ashe or Balthier.

The point brought up about there being next to no vag in Dissidia should be ample more reason why Ashe should be chosen. >: Please let it be Ashe.

[Selryam]

Well, it's either going to be Vaan, Ashe or Basch... Unless SE pulls some huge stunt instead.

Vaan still seems most likely, despite the other two having a larger connection to the antagonists.

But every hero they've chosen was classified as THE hero for the game. Villains may have been changed, but heroes haven't. Shantotto, from what I can see, won't be classed as a main character, which basically excludes her from any discussions. Unless she starts appearing in new promo shots with the other heroes.

So, I still think Vaan's the most obvious choice for them.

[soyrun]

Its hard to picture someone who learned to fight by killing rats compare to the other characters and in ffxii the characters arnt portrayed as super humans so its gonna be weird watchin them jump all over the place

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

Which is precisely my point. Assuming the hidden characters don't take part in the main crew, and they're really just that - bonus characters - I don't think they'll be following the same rules as the said main crew.

So as you said it was regardless for Shanttoto, this basically also applies to whoever's the representative of XII in Dissidia. I've been going on the impression that their choice will be based on the popularity of the character, though it's kinda hard to say if this really applies to their choice of Shanttoto seeing as how I know jackshit about XI.

[Free]

I don't see why picturing XII characters flying is such big a deal.

Remember their Quickenings? They were doing some crazy shit.

Punching holes in space-time with their bare hands, making whirlwinds, summoning tidal waves, making giant blades of wind with a leg kick...

[Selryam]

Oh, I get it, you were going under the impression that the XII characters are bonus, too...

It'd be more likely that the XII cast would be part of the main cast, since it was actually set due to it being a proper RPG. I can really only see XI being for bonus characters, since it's the only one without a proper set cast in the sense of the previous FF stories.

Of course, they could have other characters from each series as bonuses anyway. In fact, they'd better do that.

But it all depends if XII's representatives are classed as main or bonus, in this sense. I see what you mean now.

[Free]

You know, if they're throwing in side characters, and they're including Ivalice, they need to throw in Tactics characters.

Then the main characters can question why the Tactics people don't have any noses. :-)

[Selryam]

Ramza in Dissidia = Win. I assume they'd stick to the main series, but it'd be great if Tactics got some action.

No noses would look odd in Dissidia's graphical style though. :blink:

It's not a big deal, I just don't think it would suit them. Dunno why. Definitely wont be using them anyway so they can do whatever :aldo:

[Ixion]

I've also been under the impression that bonus characters aren't in the story line since the CG videos of the Villains walking through the fire is set to those ten guys.



Anyways I think that they should add either a judge (preferably one that we couldn't verse such as judge Zargabaath my fav looking judge) or Vaine Solidor. His basic limit breaks are some what a copy of a few of the main characters' Quickenings. Plus they could let him change into his godlike form for his limit break in Dissidia.

[Zezlar]

They need to put ashe in dissidia, so when she runs up a building i can look up her skirt!

Oh, the joys of life!

[Sundance Kid]

hahaha

She doesn't even need to run up anything for you to see up her skirt.

[Purple]

If they did do FFXII characters I could see a Balthier vs Cid storyline in Dissidia.

Same here, and I do hope they go that way if ever they'd add characters from FFXII. Then again we already have a father and son match up in Jecht and Tidus.

[Yue]

I think they need more girls in this game T.T

[Ixion]

How about Rikku or Yuffie. We could use a thief!

[Wacka14]

I guess Shantotto wasn't enough woman for you all?:lol: either way here are some in game shots of her

[Neal]

That makes me sick. I hate the look of those things. How is it cute? It's an ugly little thing.

Lol, she looks like a Moogle-human hybrid.

She's a Hoogle. :wtf:

[Wacka14]

I think she's cute, like a stuffed animal. Waving hew widdle staff awound^_^ I'll play as her when the game comes out. Crushing Squalls throat with Shantotto will be quite pleasing:lol:

[Selryam]

Eep. So cute~ I'd always use a Taru in FFXI, and we need more hero mages (...Wait, is she a hero?), so I'm going to be using her~

But now that XI's represented, what would the odds of XII and possibly even XIII actually getting in?

[Zezlar]

Idk if any of you know this but that TaruTaru is an evil bitch to your character throughout the story in FFXI >.<

[Selryam]

Idk if any of you know this but that TaruTaru is an evil bitch to your character throughout the story in FFXI >.<

That was why I asked if she was actually a hero or not. I see people saying she is, but then a news article (...or... Something...) said she could be considered as both a hero and villain.

In fact, I think that was earlier in this thread.

[Wacka14]

She's chillin next to Cosmos so I'd peg her as a hero by default. I think she's supposed to be more of the "Richbitchgirlyouknewinhighschool" girl part of the team. No fun to be around but not evil at heart.

[Selryam]

Well, if it IS like that, I guess we'll be seeing another villain joining the fray, too, soon enough.

Hopefully we get some of that XII/XIII action in there, too...

[Yue]

Ok... How much girls exist in this gema now? Two or more?

[ZenTzen]

Five:
Cosmos
Ultimecia
Cloud of Darkness
Terra
Shantotto

[Yue]

Can it be, that the bad guys as Sephiroth, Jecht and etc. have more girls as Squall, Tidus and etc.?

[Selryam]

Actually, it's about even now, if Shantotto can be classed as a hero. If you include Cosmos with the heroes (despite being a non-playable), then the heroes have one more.

Unless Shantotto isn't a hero... Who knows what she is. >>

[Yue]

What a concidence Totto is my second Nickname :lol:

[Wind]

Idk if any of you know this but that TaruTaru is an evil bitch to your character throughout the story in FFXI >.<

I second this and I'm still questioning as to whos dumb ass idea was it to make a dipshit emo wearing blond taru the character to represent FFXI? They should've put Aldo's ass in there seeing as he "literaly" is the first face seen since FFXI started way back when. Plus he owns a ninja shop >xD.

[Selryam]

Psh, all the heroes are either goody-goodies or emo's. I think it's great they're putting in someone that's more of a laugh and not an outright hero instead of someone that would seem more like a traditional hero.

Plus, Terra was the only female hero before Shantotto came along. She was the only real mage on their side, too. Shantotto fills in both of those roles well. And it means all the heroes aren't humans, it breaks the racial continuation a bit, too.

Unless I'm missing a few things here.

[Avalanche]

We need Tifa in this. I'd like to see fight again.

[Selryam]

What I'd like to see is all the supporting female roles from each game coming in.

And in VI's case, the supporting male, Locke.

Wishful thinking, but it'd be awesome. At least get us some XII and XIII action.

[Wind]

Unless I'm missing a few things here.

Theres more anti-hero type characters than goody-goods out of the cast. I will say that yea its good to have another female but theres plenty to choose from other than Shan. There's always Lion (who could be seen as a rogue or pirate like character due to her background), Cornelia (a monk character), or hell...let's have a moogle character since there present in all ffxi games >.O

[Yue]

Terra is with Shatotto the only girls =_=... How boring... So my theory is right, the good People have a very few of girls only two... >___>

[Selryam]

Well, if XIII gets in, you could add Lightning to that number.

But honestly, I paid no attention to any of the NPC's in FFXI, so I wouldn't know who's suitable. The heroes needed another mage, though.

[Wacka14]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/Wacka14/ff7ac1408.jpg
More scanage. I swear they need to make her into a plushie, I'd buy 12!!!!:lol:

Prepare yourself kids. Vaan is only a breath away...

[Selryam]

Oh, shit, that pose with her holding the staff is so cuuuuuuuutesahisdhfurdhsgurth.

I think I've found my main character. <3

I'm not sure how old this is, but if it's new, then it looks like they're starting to milk her expanding importance in XI and her Dissidia appearance...

http://stray.blogdns.org/temp/HOBBY/200407_Shantotto/shantotto_top_01m.jpg

[Wacka14]

I looked into it. Apparently that figure is a custom model hat some dude made himself. People have tried to buy it but he's not selling. So it has nothing to do with Dissidia but it's still really cool. Hopefully they will release her along with the other play arts figures. I'd like a complete set^_^

[Selryam]

Ack. Well, I think they've started making figurines for a few of the characters already, so maybe there'll be an official one at some stage. Unless that was what you meant, in which case, I can assume they will include her. What with the expansions coming out and all.

He did a damn good job at making that one, though...

[soyrun]

Terra is with Shatotto the only girls =_=... How boring... So my theory is right, the good People have a very few of girls only two... >___>

lol first wait to see IF they put in any other characters first

[Vidya]

Shatotto looks freaking awesome, I'm sure I'd love playing her in game. Her attitude just screams badass.

So we think that we're going to get an FFXII character now? FFXII didn't really seem to follow that 'main main' vibe in my opinion, so if we were going to get a hero from that game I'd guess it'd be either Blathier or Ashe. They seemed to have the most promiment role in the story, in my opinion.

[Selryam]

Well, so far (and this logic seems pretty good), the Hero side has always been set main characters from different games, and the villain was chosen based on the hero, and not the other way around.

I assume it'd go that way for XII, too, but I'm always hoping we'll get Ashe. (Or Fran... Heheh...)

[Sundance Kid]

Fran would be nice
:wub:

She IS chocolate delight

[Selryam]

A thought occurs though.

If XIII gets in as well, who would they use as the hero/villain combination there?

[Sundance Kid]

I'd hope so just for the simple fact of variety in the game.

[Yue]

Fran is very pretty but I think Ashe have a too short skirt,:lol: but they two can fight as well. But no one known about Shatotoo, in the Trailer they show only Terra as the female. I don't noticed that Shatotto in the group, she' s pretty cute but don't really looks like a female human character, pretty sad for me >_< I want to see more human and hot girls XDDDDD

[Selryam]

Hahah, I dunno, I think Shantotto's pretty cute. I mean, no one would call her hot (Unless you're into that sort of thing), but some more human women would be nice. Ultimecia could pass, but Cloud of Darkness is just... Freaky.

We may get Lightning in if XIII makes the cut, but I'm hoping for some Noctis and/or Stella action...

[Yue]

It will be great if Lightning, Stella and Noctis in Dissidia too, but I doubt somehow "that" they in this game >___>, sad, sad... Shatotto look somehow like a mouse, I want to know how she sounds like ^_^

[Sundance Kid]

I think Cloud of Darkness is pretty hot (yeah I said it) and Shantotto would be cuter if the TaruTaru noses weren't like that. They better have moogles in this. I think it'd be cool to have Celes be a guest character to.

[Selryam]

Well, I think she'll have a sort of childish voice, that's how the Tarutaru were in FFXI... They didn't actually speak, but they had a really childish overtone to everything they said what with their extended words. And Shantotto rhymes in the poetic sense, so that's gonna be even more interesting.

I think there's a good shot at FFXIII being represented by someone at least, though, due to that promo line they gave us ages ago...

I think Shantotto's cute with the nose, though... And Cloud of Darkness would be hot without the tentacles. Celes would be awesome to have, though. Moogles may make appearences in the menu's of the game, at least.

[Yue]

URGS! I hate the Cloud if I remeber how often the character in FFIII died because of this freaky women RAAAAH..... Ultima is hot but this damn women go to hell :nag:, I hat the Cloud, because I often lose to her as I play FFIII and she is so awful X___x

[Selryam]

You've gotta expect the final boss to be ridiculously hard. That's the way they usually are. xD

Kinda makes how dumbed down they're gonna be in Dissidia seem like a damned shame.

Actually, I'm starting to wonder how well this game'll work if you can't fight hero against hero... Unless you can. o_O;;

[Sundance Kid]

That'd be cool, just a street fighter/fatal fury/guilty gear/bloody roar type of selection

[Selryam]

It would. With Dissidia's fighting system, that kind of set-up would be badass.

[Sundance Kid]

Yeah that is if SE is smart about it, and not shorting us out, because you can only put so much space/memory whatever on a UMD

[Selryam]

True... I think they'll handle it alright.

But apparently, heroes can fight other heroes and vice versa. I'd assume that's outside of story mode, but there've been screenshots and trailers showing it...

So I guess I was really far behind on what they've revealed for Dissidia.

[KuraudoStrife]

Cloud X Sephiroth gameplay video:
YouTube - Dissidia: Final Fantasy battle gameplay 4

[Moklin]

The gameplay looks great but i hope it wont be a shame like Kingdom Hearts. First square action rpg with a good camera. What is that image of Alexander?

[Wacka14]

I didn't dislike Kingdom Hearts gameplay, but I think I know what you mean. KH2 was really flashy and too many reaction commands, got too close to the button mashy side. I hope it takes more strategy here and isn't too easy(same thing I hope for KH3) a game where you could mash if you want too, but skill comes into play as well. I'd like the characters to all play differently so it doesn't get to be that everyone is essantially the same character.

[Selryam]

I think it's safe to say the characters will at least have a little individuality... The translated interviews here and there definitely prove that each character has something unique about them.

[Maester]

Actually, I'm starting to wonder how well this game'll work if you can't fight hero against hero... Unless you can. o_O;;

its called online mode (hero vs hero)

[Selryam]

its called online mode (hero vs hero)

That's already possible in single player anyway. I'd already posted a correction after what you quoted.

Plus, how do you know Dissidia even has online? Ad Hoc doesn't count as online play, if that's what you mean.

Sephiroth looks soooo amazing especially in his EX mode when his wing appears, also in the beginning with feathers floating down. What I still don't understand though is what are all of those formulas and that bar off to the side are for in Sephiroth's limit break. The only thing that I can make sense out of is the gauge for pressing circle.

What a shame. In my opinion play against a hero controlled by IA but with a similar fightning style to a real person is not online mode. You cant play directly against someone. Is was the same thing in Dragon Quest Monster Joker.

Did you actually read it? "Each player can create their own profile called a Friend Card -- one of the functions of this card is it allows the game to keep track of your how you play and creates a "ghost" of you." They explain ONE FUNCTION of a Friend Card. They did NOT say "Go online to download Friend Cards and this is the only type of online interaction in the game."

[Selryam]

Ah, damn, the fact that it supports adHoc Party pretty much ruins any hope of infrastructure support...

Ah, well.

not if you have a ps3 ^_^

[My PS3]:wub:

[Ixion]

Well i've always thought that the game would be like Tekken's or DBZ Tenkaichi's vs. mode where can just fight the computer or fight against someone else with the game via adhoc mode/game sharing.

And it's not just Hero vs. Villain in the game as you see in the trailers where Squall and Warrior of Light fight each other as well as Garland & Kuja!



(I hope that they change Onion Knight's name in the English ver. to something w/more sense like.....Union Knight). :(

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

[Selryam]

Weird...i beat Final Fantasy III DS and i never saw Onion Knight Job.

Onion Knight was the first job in Final Fantasy III on its original console. Freelancer replaced it for the DS version.

Onion Knight is a much stronger job in the DS version (...I... Think...), but you get it by sending a sequence of messages to certain NPC's, then sending ten messages to friends over wifi.

It's more of a bonus, which may be why you missed it.

[Sundance Kid]

@Ixion: Why would they change it for the English version when that's how it's spelled/pronounced in English anyways? Besides Union Knight doesn't sound right.

thats bad...it should be hidden in some dungeon instead of unlocking it via wi-fi, that is stupid. Onion Knight is god for me but Union Knigt is a good name thought.

Cloud won! >.<!

[Desi]

how can you say a vegetable warrior makes more sense than a group warrior? They both are silly fantasy names but Onion just sounds remedial without dragging a long definition of it being called Onion because your growth resembles a bulb where you begin your journey and sprout into many more jobs/flowers/etc. Luckily everyone stopped caring a long time ago and it is just called Onion Knight.

[Sundance Kid]

I never had a problem with the name, although your flower comment sounds alot better.

"Jasmine Knight"
or
"Blossom Knight"

Kinda has a ring to it

[Whiplash]

Bunion Knight - your growth resembles something on the foot of an old person.

[Ixion]

You do know that Onion Knight is an actual class in FFIII...?

I know but i'm referring to the name of the character himself when you select and use him in Dissidia.;)



@Jive Turkey - The names in the Japanese trailer differ from the ones in the english names for the characters from their original name ( a lot of RPG's character names change between japanese to english.


ex. Fayt to Fate, Ratix to Roddick, Crawd to Claude, Frionel to Firion, Emperor to Emperor Palamecia, Tina to Terra etc. That's why I hope they change his name in the English ver.

[Moklin]

I want the name Terra in Dissida and no Tina. Tina is just a horrible name, here in my country Tina is a name of striper.

[Yue]

Tina from dead or alive O.O

[Ixion]

I want the name Terra in Dissida and no Tina. Tina is just a horrible name, here in my country Tina is a name of striper.
Her name is going to be Terra in the English ver. of Dissidia as it is in Final Fantasy 6 for the English version!>_<

[kle89]

i think im going to hop on that dissidia bundle. this game looks really fun

[Sundance Kid]

@Ixion: Yes I know that but if it was called Onion Knight in the FFIII English version then why would it change all of a sudden. But like Desi said, people began to not care.

It's okay, no hard feelings. :X

[Rade]

Of all the FFXI characters they have to choose from, they go with the Tarutaru -_- Good choice guys.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

^Like I had suspected, they went by popularity. Apparently they asked a series of FFXI fans which XI character they'd like to see in Dissidia, (not sure if Dissidia was specified but you get the gist of it) and the top choice winded up being that Tarutaru. Read it in one of the recent interviews.

And if anybody's interested, the official Dissidia site is updated with some PSP themes :'D I completely forgot the PSP could take themes, so I've been spending my entire afternoon downloading all sorts of them. That iPhone I found is kickass.

http://psp.ign.com/articles/935/935144p1.html its pretty long, so im not gonna read that. XP

Well it is now basically confirmed that XIII characters aren't going to be in Dissidia (Like we all didn't know that already) but there may still be hope for XII characters. Here is a Famitsu Interview with Nomura.

PSPFNNews: "Speaking in an interview with Japan's Weekly Famitsu (which is courteously translated by 1UP), the Dissidia dev team has spoken out about the possible inclusion of Final Fantasy XII and XIII characters making their way into the game. Creative producer Tetsuya Nomura replied to the mag when drilled on those sought after games, but Noms had some disappointing news to reveal: "One idea we had was to include an FFXIII character, but having one debut in Dissidia would lock down the image of his or her skills and so forth, perhaps affecting FFXIII in the process. As a result, we couldn't get permission."

"That's rather understandable. But wait; what about FFXII? Well, Nomura was a little more mysterious in his answer for this one: "As for FFXII, just stay tuned for now (laughs)." Is he laughing because we're totally not going to see a character from the game? Or, is he laughing because we're definitely going to see one? Commence dramatic progressive argument in our comments section!"

Interesting, If there is XII characters I pray to GOD it is not Vaan, give us Balthier or Ashe PLEASE.

Looks like they pull a Soul Calibur and have you fight generic minions before the big boss.

I like the inclusion of overworld themes. I wish they'd gotten to VII before the video cut. :[

Dissidia IGN update!

http://au.psp.ign.com/articles/935/935144p1.html

Breakdown:

-Shantotto's story is more closely related to the FFXI world.

-Shantotto makes use of a variety of magics, including Bind to keep enemies from moving.

-In EX Mode, Shantotto changes clothes and makes use of powerful magics in combination. Shantotto's EX Burst move lets you select string together spells like Quake, Freeze, and Flare.

-At least one more character may be on the way. In the staff commentary section, Tetsuya Nomura said that players should look forward to something related to FFXII. (We knew this)

-Nomura explained, the idea was put forth regarding putting an FFXIII character in the game, but concerns over solidifying the character's image and skills in players' minds and thus affecting the main FFXIII game killed it.

-On the note of Sephiroth, the staff revealed that there was originally an idea of making the FFVII villain's EX Mode be his final form from the original. Unfortunately, the PSP had insufficient memory (LOL), and the staff did not want do something like displaying the character in a smaller form.

-The game has a variety of famous lines recorded for each character. Included are special lines for when facing two particular characters off against one another.

-Artifacts are items that have a special "artifact" icon next to them. You'll occasionally get this when battling human opponents. You're free to rename these particular items and can view the history detailing how they got into your hands. You'll be able to see who inherited the item from who, and who changed its name along the way.

-Players can not only save their replay data, but they can use internal tools to edit the data. Arakawa suggested that some players may be able to recreate their favorite Final Fantasy scenes. Nomura said that Square Enix is considering having contests surrounding the replays. (AWESOME!)

-When they're not attempting to recreate the big Cloud versus Sephiroth battle scene from Advent Children, FF fanatics will likely be in Dissidia's "Museum" mode. This mode lets you view all the movies from the game, see profiles of the characters, and view your play history. The character profiles are split into "main characters" and "summons" sections and offer details about when the character or beast appeared. Players can also access a 3D model viewer.

-Famitsu also reveals that Dissidia has a "Command Battle" mode of play. Here, the normal action-based battle system is replaced with a menu system, allowing players who aren't so hot on action games to still engage in combat. The menu selections seem to match up with the main battle system, with "Fight" resulting in a Brave Attack, and "Super" ("Hissatsu" in Japanese) resulting in an HP Attack. When you select a command, your character continues to perform it. You can press L or R to flee when your opponent attacks.

-Japanese audiences can also look forward to a December 15 episode of Game Center CX, a Japanese video game television show (it's been converted into a DS game, in case you feel that you might have heard the name somewhere). According to Famitsu, this episode will feature a five minute clip of Dissidia complete with a surprise at the end. (FFXII Character please SE?)

-You can install the game on the PSP by battle, story data, or Full Installation. (That sounds cool)

Weekly Famitsu’s Cross Review Panel gave Dissidia Final Fantasy (http://www.psphyper.com/game-profiles/dissidia-final-fantasy/) a pretty solid 10,9,9,8 (36/40) in their latest round of reviews, a little higher than Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (http://www.psphyper.com/game-profiles/crisis-core-final-fantasy-vii/)’s 9,9,8,9 (will try to get more info on what’s being said in the review later). More review scores of other titles after the jump.
Update: The review’s intro says it takes 40 hours to complete the Story Mode and more than 100 hours to unlock everything. Most of the reviewers agree that the controls are easy and the customization options are rich. The story also gets some praise for more than just a gathering of FF characters. Same goes to the battle actions, one of them love the pursuit battles that require players to attack and defend at the same time while another compare them to scenes in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. However, there are a couple of complains, one of reviewers says it’s hard to keep track of things sometimes while another think there are plenty of special terms being used, and a tutorial would be nice.

"The game was also praised for its story and cutscenes, with one reviewer noting that the character's histories are neatly woven into the narrative, providing new insights and answering old questions while giving each character an equal share of the spotlight."

I do. Several of my friends are hacked and ready to go when it's released I could do the same to mine...butI'm gonna wait though. I can't understand the game and I'd rather just enjoy it all the way when it comes out here.

Actually, Vayne Solidor would've been a more logical choice. Besides there needing to be another VILLAIN to match Shantotto's entry. Also, we could use a fist fighter and he has a few limit breaks that are edited versions of what some of the main characters have. And they could let him enter his godlike form (muscular form) for his EX mode.

I would've preferred Dr Cid but I'm not particularly fussed.

Logically, it should have definatly been Balthier.
But they chose faggot eval twin wank.

[Wacka14]

^ I meant in the sense that they were using main characters, and Square made Vaan the main character of XII even though most wish to deny it. Watch the trailers, it's meant to revolve around him.

I see what you mean...I guess they wanted to have an equal amount of goodies and baddies

Technically the inclusion of XII would imply that they "aren't" supposed to be there "yet". Not to mention Shany was placed in there because the developers liked her.

The issue between Gabranth being chosen over the others was possibly due to:

1. He is not an absolute villain. Thus he would compliment Shantotto by armor, height, demeanor and way of combat. Plus we really have no idea what role he will play.
2. Vayne being tossed up because not only is he incredibly detailed but his Ex would have to involved him becoming some form of The Undying which would require ALOT of space. The UMD is already crammed enough.
3. He is a Judge which is one of FFXII's (or should I say Ivalice?) strongest themes. Hell he's even the logo design.
4. He doesn't have abnormal looking abs :rolleyes:

I think it was a good choice in the end. I'm actually pleased that we were all wrong and they pulled somethin outta left field.

Final Fantasy Dissidia Comes Stateside This Summer
Just released in Japan, Dissidia for the PSP is a Final Fantasy fan's dream fighting match, with good guys like Cloud, Squall, and Terra taking on the assembled pantheon of FF evil, represented by Sephiroth, Golbez, and the adorably batshit insane Kefka. It features a battle system that incorporates classic series mechanics such as overdrives and limit breaks, RPG-based character development, and a full story that supposedly makes sense, unlike most character mash-up fighting games. All that's missing here is Vivi, but with a mid-year 2009 release date, Square Enix has some time to fix that.
