New Dissidia Trailer at Official Website

[Jessweeee♪]

I would just drink it then save the empty can.

[Laddy]

I'd drink it. In front of everyone. Proudly.

I heard it's pretty meh in regards to taste though.

[.:kerrod:.]

yeah but you'd get 100 HP back, so it's probably worth it

i like it 'cause it's big and obnoxious :)




EDIT: has anybody seen a good picture of Kuja's Dissidia Ex Mode (Trance)? because i'm really interested to see how he looks in that form

[Wolf Kanno]

There is a new video available at the main site. Its another battle between Cloud and Sephiroth but the video seems to be hinting to the feature that allows you to record battle and watch them as cinematic videos. You also get a better idea of what the Lifestream stage is like and a taste of the Dissidia arrangement of "One Winged Angel". :cool:

[Crimson]

They also have a new tutorial on the chess board and "random battle" system, well it isnt so bad, AT LEAST there only crystal clones rather than exact clones.



Also, I hope there might be an option for secret unlockable bonus songs for each correspondent FF (AKA JENOVA for FFVII for example)

New trailer!

ffchaoticcosmos: Dissidia Game Center CX Trailer (http://community.livejournal.com/ffchaoticcosmos/30376.html)

2:20 is jokes.

[arcanedude34]

What exactly happens in the part w/ Squall, Zidane and Garland? Didn't quite get that. Was Garland sneaking up on Squall? If so, he took way too long to do it XD

Ad Gabranth looks pure awesomeness.

[hhr1dluv]

Is that Gabranth I see? ;)

[Crimson]

This game is gonna be the sex.

The only way they could make it any better is if there's an option for Japanese voice over when the english version comes out.

[Wolf Kanno]

Here's a link to the new trailer featuring subtitles.

As for the Japanese VA work, I'm still not impressed with Zidane, OK, and Kefka's VA's. They just don't sound like the way I imagined they would. Zidane's is too childish while the OK sounds physically older than he should be. Kefka's is just too much screeching and is much lighter than I thought it would be.

[hhr1dluv]

^Hmmm, from what I've heard, the Kefka VA does have ups and downs, he goes from screechy crazy to deep and ominous. That's pretty much how I imagined him. But I agree, they basically should switch Zidane and OK's VAs.

On a side note, Onion Knight really is the cutest thing ever. I love his outfit. That, coupled with the fact that I've been playing FFV (and love it), and I expect to quite like FFIX, might lead me to prefer the odd numbered games over the evens (which I initially preferred). Still minus XI of course...I decided that were I ever to do a mainline playthrough, rather than skip FF XI, I will play Donkey Kong Country 2 in its place. :p

[arcanedude34]

Zidane calling out Squall for showing off = all my doubts about this game erased. I'm full-on the Dissidia bandwagon now. : D

[McLovin']

2 daaaaaaaaays!

[.:kerrod:.]

i'm pretty sure it actually got leaked...so 'todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay' would probably be more acurate :tongue: (just take off the 's' on the end, no one will ever know :shifty: ;))

[Jessweeee♪]

Gabranth is cool beans and all but I still would have preferred Cid :(

[Wolf Kanno]

Here he is. :cool:

[the AJman]

I think I just crapped a brick, finally they added a XII character, and its Grabranth. BOOYA.

I'm so excited I can't contain myself, call the president, quick somebody punch me in the face.

Ff12 Gabranth - Dissidia France Forums (http://www.dissidia-france.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=957)

scroll down to the last message for low quality scans of in-battle gabranth :D

[Obsidian]

On the eve of this game's release, I will express my greatest wish: that it creates a general continuity for each seperate game's universe. As a Final Fantasy Nerd, I would love to see this game tie the concept of... Say, FFII's Pandaemonium and FFVII's Lifestream together.

me too pls. I'd like them to be tied together, and I'd love for Dissidia to be part of the whole thing in a canon way. It'd make me :bigsmile:

[Wolf Kanno]

This I can't abide by, I'm perfectly fine with the FF universes being separate to each other. It's bad enough they are trying to shoe horn VII and X into the same universe. I don't feel there is any point in connecting the FF worlds by either time or different planets.

[Jessweeee♪]

FE would have a heart attack.

[Wolf Kanno]

The main site updated, a few new wallpapers, an advertisement for the Soundtrack, as well as a new character section that gives you a close look at the character's EX-Modes. :cool:

[hhr1dluv]

Speaking of Dissidia and its soundtrack...I've been listening to it and OMG IT'S AMAZING. I just about died from nostalgia.

As a side note, it's scary how much I like Final Fantasy V. Am I allowed to like it more than IV or VI? :D

EDIT: Concerning FF game continuity, the FF worlds all take place in different dimensions. Duh. Or worlds...and we have to use a subtle knife to cut through to each of them...although that would cause huge problems. Clearly Chaos is going crazy because of all the Dust flowing out of all the FF world interaction.

[arcanedude34]

As a side note, it's scary how much I like Final Fantasy V. Am I allowed to like it more than IV or VI? :D
I do. By far. In fact, IV bores me. I do like VI though.

FFV has my second favorite main character too, next to Zidane of course.

[.:kerrod:.]

squeee...that new page on the website is teh sex xD

also: started playing a bit of Dissidia :bigsmile: i only went into 'quick play' (after struggling to navigate through the menus...i can't read any japanese :p) and i've only played as WoL, Firion and Onion Knight...and not very well :( i got pwnt every time except for 1...but that happens when you can't read any of the prompts or messages :tongue: so far i can't pass judgement, and the control scheme/game mechanics still confuse me...i don't plan to play any further than this because i didn't pay for it so it doesn't matter (waiting for an English release) :D, and i don't want to play as any more of the characters until i can actually understand the story mode :greenie:

if you want me to test/try something just ask me and i'll do the best i can, but you're much better off googling for the answer anyway :roll:

[Vivisteiner]

^Do you know what music plays when you control Zidane and you fight Kuja?

[hhr1dluv]

^Vivisteiner, they have a bunch of different FFIX tracks on the soundtrack. I think each game basically has three battle themes, which are either the regular fighting themes, a final boss theme, a special boss theme, or some other theme that's well known from the game. For example, FFVII has "One Winged Angel," "Those Who Fight Further," and "Opening Bombing Mission." Then, on the chess board, each game seems to more or less have a variation of the World Map theme, with a few exceptions. Like Gabranth seems to have the Judge theme, which is totally awesome. As for FFIX, I don't know much about it's soundtrack, but from what I can identify, it has a remix of Melodies of Life for the board, something that sounds like Kuja's theme (but I think it might be a final battle theme), what sounds like the regular battle music (heavily remixed), and something else that I can't identify. Now, where these songs play in relation to FFIX characters, I have no idea.

EDIT: My favorite part about the soundtrack is that, while some songs are remixed, others are straight out of the source game. So, some of the FFI music sounds like it came straight out of the NES. :D

EDIT2: Eh, while I'm here, I might as well identify the tracks I can identify.
I: Regular fighting theme (remixed), ?, Something that sounds like the town theme
II: Regular fighting theme (remixed), ?, ?
III: ?, ?, ?
IV: "Four Fiends (or whatever plays when you fight Rubicante and them)," "Regular Battle Theme" (remixed), "The Red Wings"
V: "Battle on the Big Bridge," "Regular Fighting Theme," ? (sounds like it would be a final battle)
VI: "Boss Battle," ?, "Dancing Mad"
VII: See above
VIII: "Regular fighting theme" (heavily remixed), "The Extreme," "Man With the Machine Gun"
IX: "Regular Battle" (remixed), ?, Something that sounds final battle-esque (has a bit of the percussion from Kuja's theme)
X: "Otherworld," "Regular Battle," "Seymour Battle" (YAY!)
XI: ?
XII: "Boss Battle"

Others: Prelude, Chocobo, Fanfare, World Map themes for all games except X (which uses "Zanarkand," and XII which uses what sounds like the Judge/Empire music. I have no idea about any of the XI stuff.

[Vivisteiner]

The FFIX pieces in the soundtrack are Normal Battle, Boss battle and supposedly Messenger of Destruction (unremixed). But in all the gameplay clips I've seen, I've never heard Messenger of Destruction being played. I heard that it might only be in an archive or something, or maybe it's played during cutscenes.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the remixed Melodies of Life for the main board thingy>

[Rase]

I'm assuming that this hasn't been posted yet: Absurdly Long Intro Clip Fight Scene. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171957).

[Vivisteiner]

^I've seen it, its awesome. :)

Tons of gameplay vids have now come out.

Here's a treat for Wolf Kanno:

YouTube - Gabranth Ex Burst (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSHkZm5U8wQ)

[hhr1dluv]

Actually, probably a great many of the songs have been archived, but why would that be? Maybe that's why they sound like the original version. I dunno...
I like that Gabranth takes his helmet off...he has a pretty face. :p

OMG!!! :Eek:

I think I just had sex watching that video. His EX burst is awesome!!! Dark versions of all 3 of Basch's Quickening's ending with a Blackhole Finisher!!!

Yeah, it sounds like a few good memorable tracks like Dancing Mad, The Rebels, and Man with the Machine Gun may only be archived music. When I get a bit of time, I'll update your list with track names.

Overall, I like the soundtrack.

[arcanedude34]

Just found out the name of Bartz's Ex-Burst. "Rapid Fire Dual-Wield Spell Blades" This, combined with the FFV Data Install page, gave me a major nerdgasm. FFV seems to be getting a LOT of love. : D

The guy who was in charge said it was his favourite FF. :)

[arcanedude34]

Guess this was a good time to start my FFV Lp then. (/shamelessplug)

[Wolf Kanno]

Bartz's EX Burst (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUjRVVvzRho&feature=related) also starts with the distant sound of a chocobo cry and chocobo tracks racing across the screen before it bursts into the dimensional swirl of most super moves.;)

V has definetly gotten a lot of love it deserves. Seriously, the super moves all have some level of fangasm going for them. Terra's EX super for instance is her Desperation attack Riot Blade. Cecil does a version of Omnislash except he changes between Paladin and Dark Knight for each blow and depending on how well you do he either strikes his opponents down with Darkness from the DK or a slash filled with holy light from the Paladin.

Kefka, super move either does Forsaken (his in-game Boss super attack) if you fail or Light of Judgment when he succeeds. Golbez summons his Dark Dragon for his Ex mode and then uses its power to freeze an opponent in place (just like when you face him in the Dwarven castle) while Golbez cast W. Meteo (the attack he casts with FuSoYa that killed Zemus);)

This level of detail to the characters and their abilities just shows how much love and care has gone into this game. Just about everything is a reference to the games the characters come from.

[Wolf Kanno]

Sorry to double post but just wanted to mention that the main site has been updated. Gabranth has been added to the character selection screen and both XI and XII are represented in the special field of the character section that shows the EX modes. :cool:

[.:kerrod:.]

yes, i'd noticed that :) they've done a really nice job with that section...

the thing i don't like is how a lot of people's Ex-Modes are pretty much exactly the same as their normal mode (with just a change of weapon or something)...i mean, i suppose it doesn't matter because you're only in that mode for a limited amount of time (as soon as you hit the enemy, it begins the ex-burst), but i was disappointed with cloud's, sephiroth's, squall's, and even shantotto's. i know there's really nothing else they could have used for their ex-mode, but i still feel a little disappointed

[Wolf Kanno]

I understand, but its neat how close they stay to the original source material by only giving them their Ultimate Weapons. Though I don't remember Lionheart being that big...

From what I've read, they also follow the rules of their games so despite not looking like much, Squall and Tidus' weapons actually give them a bigger boost than one would think. Sephiroth's is disappointing but the Dissidia team just couldn't get Safer Sephiroth to work. I believe the director mentioned Safer Sephiroth could only have been implemented properly by scaling him down which ended up making him look weird cause suddenly he shrank. :eep:

It would have been nice though as I am not very fond of KH Sephiroth form.

[.:kerrod:.]

haha, i also don't remember lionheart being that big, i was going to mention it but i forgot :p

and safer sephiroth would have been so awesome, but if it meant him looking ridiculous, then i'm glad they didn't use him...it's just a pity that sephiroth didn't have some other form that may have worked, doesn't he have like, 5 in the game? :tongue:

[Wolf Kanno]

Just 3 if you count his normal form.

[Skyblade]

Just 3 if you count his normal form.

Sephiroth has 4 different combat models in FFVII.

His normal outfit from the Kalm flashback.
Bizzaro Sephiroth form.
Safer Sephiroth form.
His shirtless outfit from the one-on-one battle with Cloud at game's end.

And a fifth form if you count his One-Winged-Angel form from Crisis Core and KH.
