Okay, some interesting news and some possible bad news...
For those who have been following the game, there is a prologue title that's basically a demo in Japan that you pay for that allows you to play as a few of the new characters and most of the main cast. Having this demo also unlocks Aerith as an assist character.
Course, like the last demo, it got quickly hacked a wealth of info was on there including most of the third alt outfits. Some of which are pretty awesome (WoL, Garland, Mateus, Barts, and Zidane) and some not so awesome (Yuna, Kuja, Firion).
The hacked demo also confirmed Gilgamesh and Prishe but they were not playable on the demo but their character artwork was.
Now here's the possible bad news mixed with some possible bad news. For now this is not confirmed so this might not be true at all, but it was still interesting to note. According to the people who hacked the demo, there is one more slot for XIII but it appears it is for a cosmos warrior so we may still get Sahz, the other thing they found was one more player slot but it wasn't associated with any game like the slot for the XIII character. This may mean that VI and IX may have been passed over from receiving a character this entry, might be a future DLC and not available on day one, or are still in the process of being made.
Technically it's a demo and it didn't even have two of the characters playable so it's possible they are still in the works but also, there is a wealth of info that was on the demo that wasn't suppose to be there cause you can't even access half this data from the demo normally.
Aerith as a special bonus DLC assist character? Interesting...
I add EXDEATH.Quote:

Zidane's "soldier" outfit sits well with me too.
I don't know what Yuna's wearing, but I like it.
Sazh please!
EDIT:
Lightning's alt looks pretty cool o:
LOL, Yuna in her (SPOILER)wedding dress? That's...interesting. I'm loving WoL and Emperor Mateus' alternative costumes. And Kain's is by far the worst imo.
As for the other XIII character, please let it be Sazh. I'll die a little inside if it's Hope or Vanille. And this mysterious character maybe from another game outside of the main FF series (KH or FFT maybe?) but I'm not sure if I would like that. They should just add either a VI and/or IX character (i'd love Shadow or Steiner).
I bet SE purposefully left all this info on the demo because they know it would get hacked or something. I mean, why put in most of this info if it cannot be accessed? They could have easily had made a demo without all of the 'uneccesary' stuff. But I must say, if it was on purpose, that would be the best marketing EVER.
Edit: Vaanlooks awesome too
Yeah, I have to admit, I was very surprised to see Vaan have a semi-respectable outfit.Quote:

I think if they left off a character from IX and/or VI I'd lose all interest in this game, so I'm really hoping they are the last minute surprise characters.
Hopefully Square is smart enough to learn from the first release that games get hacked and they really have 2 more characters up their sleeve and this could even be a diversion. In all honesty, imo ff 7 was the start of marketing and from that point i feel ff was more marketing than game. Hopefully these years of practice and thier last blunder on the first dissidia demo have really made them the marketing geniuses that would have to be to have a game that was kept pretty secret until about 6 months prior to release, have every character anounced as they planned with little to no leaks, and now this...talk about keeping me on my toes, I check updates 4 times a day now...If they don't have a VI and IX character than this is too much credit, but if they do, kudos on square for some of the best marketing to hardcore fans I have ever seen.
Hope your right. It would be pretty insulting if they ignored those two titles. I understand 1, 2 and 3 to an extent because there weren't nearly as many awesome characters to chose from, but I really think it should have been planned from the beginning to use each game as Dissidia 1 did. And Dissidia 2 needs two character from each title for balance.
It would be insulting, If we are getting an addition from XI we sure better be getting one from VI & IX. You could make a dissidia game just using the characters from VI honestly the diversity of them is amazing. Of course, if they are waiting to release characters on DLC, VI and IX would be some of the best to choose from VI in paticular from a marketing standpoint. Since most hard-core fans are big VI fans, Square doesn't need to advirtise to them for them to get the game, and they could essiently charge anything and I would buy their characters and continualy research them on DLC. Anyway, lets see how smart they really are.
I don't know about that. I enjoyed FFVI's cast, but they weren't very different from each other personality-wise. They each had a gimmick, but there was nothing much separating them beyond that.
Why does Bartz have to deal with two villains? It's two villains against one hero for FFV. How will he have to deal with two villains at once?
I don't think we can consider Gilgamesh a villain. He always seemed more like chaotic neutral to me.
There's enough extra heroes that they will finish off their villains fairly quickly and come help. Because, I mean, it's Gilgamesh. Even without Exdeath (who is a wimp who doesn't count anyway), no one hero could take him alone. Even the mighty Bartz.
They are all more different than it seems, (VI) to really see differences you would need to bring them into the 3D universe. Even so I was more so refering to their battle differences. Each had a different class and special ability.Quote:

Saying they are all the same? idk, if you compared their personality to when characters became dubbed and 3D some may think so, but not for the more nostalgic gamer. Just because VI doesn't have a defined flamboyent hero like 9,10, and 12. Or completly emo leads like 7 and 8. I consider the lead character role as shared by locke and terra, she is gone for a while. Even with Enix's added technology and tools, I don't think any cast compared to this one, really the cream of the crop of the world fighting kefka. kings, ninjas, dancing moogles, mages and more vs VII for example full of bartenders, irritating theif girls, coal miners, and a lead mental patient. (I do like VII people, 2nd fav ff, but hero cast does not compare, VII universe > VI universe, ffVI > ffVII. Anyway sorry, about the tangent.
I cannot disagree with this statement more. I'll bore you with a rant later, just know you've disturbed the sleeping troll... :shifty:Quote:

Being drunk I probably shouldn't go deep into this, and I think the others defended it enough, but yeah I don't quite get how anyone could find the cast bland and similar to one another. The cast made the game great.Quote:

Am I the only one a little annoyed they picked Vaan instead of Balthier?
You're going to need to give me an example cause I seriously can't understand where you are coming from with this statement. Like dunit697, an example of what you consider a "diverse party of personalities" would help to establish where you're coming from here. I seriously just can't wrap my head around your statement, it is that foreign of a concept to me cause I personally feel VI has the most diverse party of personalities in the series. I think you're going to give me an aneurysm by having me think about you're statement, like that girl I overheard who said "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college" :(Quote:

I like Vaan, and in this game, they really turned him into a formidable fighter.
And I think they should have added Faris, so that Bartz doesn't have to face Exdeath and Gilgamesh alone on his own; two villains against only one hero is bad.
2 to 1 is better than 1 to 0 as shantatto and Gabranth were in the original and how possibly lightening will be. There were enough heroes added that it will more than compensate. rather than trying to get 4 characters from V lets try to get 3 from VI and IX first.
If we do get another XIII character, I'd guess Cid Raines.
Well then, Bartz will have to ask someone from ANOTHER WORLD to help him?
Of all the ff 12 characters, I liked Vaan least of all.
EDIT:
Cyan is anything but silent, if anything he talks too much, always sticking his nose in things to try and correct morals, he was kind of like a counselor. Locke really has some moments where he is quite deep, but on terra you are right on the mark if you consider the cloud immediatly after Aerith leaves the party for the last timeQuote:

I think Fran would have been a million times better, seeing as she is a 'Weapons Master'. Besides we need more female non-human characters.Quote:

I think they added Vaan because they want to show the fans that he is the main character of the game (even though he took back seat after the first couple of hours). But truth be told I quite liked him and I think I might use him a lot in duodecim. My brother said "you like those kind of characters a lot", because I like the fast characters like Zidane and Bartz...at least I think he meant that :confused:
Your right hypoallergenic cactuar, I was going through them rather quick and multi-tasking, ya, cyan or mr sir is pretty chatty, strong moral code type than. And Locke can be deep, I honestly didn't look to deeply at him, he can be creepy too looking at how he treated his ex, a bit of obsession there, but feel free to to a better analysis of him.
I dunno why people are complaining that FFV has two villains. I mean, come on, all of the added characters are cosmos (at least I think so) so why are people saying it isn't fair on Bartz.
And you don't need me to say that VI's cast was far from bland, but it's all a matter of opinion.
And it would have been cool if Versus XIII had come out before Duodecim because they could have put Noctis in it which would be uber awesome.
If they added Noctis wouldnt that be uh... unfair? Judging from what I have seen via the trailers the only way I can see him working is if they limit him to 1 weapon or something maybe his EX form having all 13 lol
Also! Any sign of us getting the Demo?
Yes, I feel the same way. I would have been content with any other playable character taking up a slot rather than Vaan or Penelo.Quote:

They did a good job balancing the characters imo. Especially the NES characters. You'd think they would suck seeing as they don't have as much a defined role as the characters in later FF. I trust that SE can make him equal.Quote:

But Firion can only uses 1 at a time not 13 at a time
Also like is the first Dissidia they will prolly have heros teaming up, so i dont think they will adding anymore chars from 5
LOL, calm down. It'll be awesome, you don't necesarily need to have people from the same world fighting each other. Thats why they have characters from all the worlds. If you want FFV characters taking Exdeath down, then I suggest you play FFV.Quote:
Originally Posted by SuperMillionaire

Gilgamesh is hardly a real threat... he's more of a handicap for whichever side he's trapped on so no worries. Besides, its not like it's fair most of the villains have to face two heroes instead of one. Hell, XI and XIII still don't have Chaos counterparts.
Being the pessimist that I am, I have lost hoped that IX and VI will get new characters and that has really made this game have a bit of a sour taste for me. :(
Not to mention that I now have to deal with Yuna being in the game (guess who I'm going to kill over and over) and the prospect of Lightning stealing most of the spotlight in the plot, seeing how she's usually front and center in every new trailer and the game is treating her like the main character. :roll2 I get Kain, Laguna, and Gilgamesh but overall I haven't been impressed with the choices for new characters. Made worse by two of my top fave FFs being possibly passed over.
We still have a month left but SE hasn't even officially confirmed Gilgamesh and Prishe in publication not to mention most of the new characters were revealed alongside their numbered counterparts(II, V, and XI haven't been featured yet, whereas VI and IX have been featured recently). It's looking a bit glum for VI and IX fans.
I can only hope for a last minute reveal or a later DLC but from some of the staff interviews, it sounds like Dissidia Duodecim has reached the PSPs limits. The director commented that in order to add any more characters and content they would have to move to more powerful hardware. (PSP2/3DS or possibly console). So the possibility of cramming a new character in by DLC doesn't sound hopeful especially since the team has only mentioned Original Missions, and alternate costumes as DLC.
Even if it is true, at least FFVI and FFIX will get an extra stage to make up for it. I'm starting to think I was right about my "New Character or Stage, But Not Both" rule that Square is following for Dissidia Duodecim (with FFs past ten being exempted due to not having enough representation in the original Dissidia).
Also, do you guys think that Prishe and Gilgamesh will be the Shantotto and Gabranth of Duodecim? I mean, neither of them showed up in the group shots of the teams in the opening CG.
Um, it's GILGAMESH, Wolf. Anything his side loses in raw strength, it makes up for in awesomeness.Quote:

Too pessimistic. If it was just IX, I could believe it, though I would be saddened by it, but I cannot believe that they would leave a character out from VI, which still has one of the most beloved casts in the FF series. I think not having them be hackable from the demo would be more a case of baiting followers to try to guess which character from VI is going to make the cut right up until the end.Quote:

Um, yeah, and the original trailer all showcased Warrior of Light as the star of his game, and we all know how that turned out. You played him for two storyline chapters, then forgot him as much as possible.Quote:

It always looks glum for VI and IX fans. But look at hell well Terra came out in Dissidia. And, while Zidane may be...Zidane, at least the ratio of characters left in IX leaves them with a better chance of picking one of the many awesome ones.Quote:

Horsefeathers. A new character would only require more storage space, not more powerful hardwear, unless they were actually changing game mechanics.Quote:

It's not for certain, but at this point I feel SE has cut it so close that the possibility these two titles might have been skipped altogether this round. Maybe they'll show up as Assist characters like Aerith, but it is looking like the lack of a fully playable character could be a possibility.Quote:

Until you see the ending and read all the Reports and learn this whole game is basically a convulated mess to explain Garland and Chaos from FFI. WoL also had the best scenes imo considering he's a nameless no one.Quote:

I'm sure Lightning won't be prominent but they also said thy would be making this game more story focus for the people who wined about a fighting game having a terrible plot (Dear lord people, have you never played the genre, this is normal) and seeing how we are going to see a bunch of new character get killed off from death by canon, I can see the writers trying to put her as the leader of this suicide brigade, seeing how that was pretty much the same scenario of XIII. Duodecim is going to play in some ways very differently so I wouldn't make this judgment cause of the way Dissidia 1 played out.
I'd say the FFI-III fans have it worse. I'm still annoyed about a lack of Leon or Maria tbh. I just don't like the prospect of having to wait a few more years to get some new characters I like from the games I like. I honestly don't care for Tifa, Yuna, Vaan, or Prishe, I outright hate two of them. I guess I should be happy I got half of Aerith...Quote:

Except when the hardware needed is storage space. As I said the director himself talked about Dissidia 2 maxing out what a UMD could hold. We are talking about a game that is completely new and has the first game as an unlockable extra. The whole first Dissidia 1 with a completely revamped story mode closer to Duodecim's. It is very possible that the game can't hold anymore content. We may still see DLC characters but they wouldn't really be attached to the story unless SE knew ahead of time this would happen.Quote:
Horsefeathers. A new character would only require more storage space, not more powerful hardwear, unless they were actually changing game mechanics.
As long as you are not changing the fundamentals of the gameplay, there should be no trouble introducing new playable characters via DLC. They would be saved to either the PSP Go's hard drive (ha, as though anyone actually got one of those), or the SD card in your PSP. True, they may have reached the limits of what you can cram on a UMD, but they could easily fit more on an SD card.
I strongly feel like Vaan could have been declined due to fans having little to no nostalgia for a blank protagonist. I am glad that Aerith made it as an assist character. I think that Square Enix will begin to add fan favorites to the game as assist characters in this iteration or in the next iteration of the game as they take much less work to create and develop than the fully fledged playable characters.Quote:

Yeah but it will be annoying having to lug that SD card everywhere if you want to use the extra characters. Especially since they are easier to lose than normal memory cards are. It's bad enough I have to switch between multiple cards as it is now. It works, nut its not really practical for a handheld but that is more of the PSPs personal issue than Dissidia.Quote:

Dissidia Duodecim Prologus has been confirmed for US and Europe (source)! Can't wait to try it.
Ya know I was thinking that if IX does get a char it might be that female general (Her names escapes me atm) cuz as of right now IX is the only game that doesnt have a Chaos char (Im not counting XIII or XI cuz XIII is a new add to the game and XI is a MMO) So who knows they might add the new VI and IX chars as hidden chars as they did with XII and XI we will simply have to wait and see at this point but the Hidden Chars is a possibly thing.
I would like to see that General and Celes added cuz the game needs more female chars that arnt Cloud of Darkness and Ultimecia or however you spell her name I saw that cuz they are kinda the same in fact from Dissidia 1 all the females are mages kinda and now we have Tifa who isnt... we need more who are females and not mages imo
General Beatrix. And, yes, she would be awesome.
Do any of you know if our characters will carry over? I have soo many hours invested in Cloud and it was a b**ch getting the Omnilash Version 5 (AC version). Mabey there'll be some connectivity between titles?
The only connectivity reported thus far is that character data will transfer over from Dissidia Duodecim Prologus (the 5 buck demo soon to be hitting PSN in US and EU) to the main game. No connection between Duodecim and the original as yet.Quote:

You know a lot of people are just gonna download save files with every character at lvl. 100 and just transfer it. I've lost my save data so I'm just gonna start from scratch on duodecim.

GREATEST. VOICE. EVAR.
While I'm speaking of the English voice cast, Vaan's voice seems to have deepened a little bit. Kind of threw me off, but I like it.
Well, when the CG was first released, there was not even a group shot. It's possible the screen widening process was cut short and skipped to the shot of Lightning's eye. Maybe...Quote:

Who is that Prishe girl/boy?
Jecht being Cosmos was confirmed ages ago actually, same with Terra being Chaos. It's Tidus and Cloud's alignment's that threw most people off. As they both appear to be Chaos side despite having no foreshadowing like Terra and Jecht did.
Prishe is an Elvaan from FFXI: Chains of Promethia. She plays a rather large role in the expansion and is a Monk/White Mage. She was also originally considered to be the main representative for XI for the first Dissidia but was passed over for Shantatto.
Oh, okay it's a girl. Thanks. It was hard for me to tell. It looked kind of feminine, but it was built like a young boy. Also thought that her/it might've been a XIV rep.
So there's absolutely no way we're getting Noctis huh? Guess it makes sense since they don't want to spoil any his moves/ aesthetics before VERSUS XIII launches. Oh well at least we get a little portrait of him to collect.
Seriously though even as an assist character with one attack (that they've already showed off in the trailers) it'd still be cool!
They said we would be getting Prologus before Dissidia 012, so they had better hurry up and release it. Only a month and a half to go.
I agree. On the other hand, I'm also anxious to see the twelve fighters from Agito in action.Quote:

Because, if not, I am probably going to abandon my old save and just stick with the Prologus transfer, as an assist character will probably be worth more to me than an item.

I don't see why it can't register both data. Squenix would have to be pretty stupid to deny fans who played the first game extra content just because they chose to update one data over another.Quote:

WHAT-EEEEVER MAN
It's time to fight like men... and ladies... and ladies who dress like men!

And Squall has his Kingdom Hearts costume too!
Looks like Prologus is not too far away: Seems Like The West Is Getting Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Soon // Siliconera. I guess I should hurry up with finishing the three accomplishments I have left in Dissidia so I can move on to Duodecim :)
SE has mentioned they'll be announcing a character at an event pretty soon. Most signs seem to point it will be a more official announcement for Gilgamesh but others are hopeful it's either from VI and IX while others think it may be the mysterious XIII character slot found in the demo.
I'm guessing either official Gilgamesh announcment or Sahz as another Assist Only Character.
Not too far away, we got 11 days for crying out loud!
Some possible bad news... Apparently their won't be another Dissidia game after this one. Though it does sound like it might be more of a hardware or gameplay style than an actual end. It should be noted the actual director of the game said that while there are no plans to make a third Dissidia game on the NGP, he did say that fan demand could bring another Dissidia type game to console.
yess!!! this game will be awesomeness! :D and im thinking lighting vs sephiroth :)
Less than a month to go for both US and EU. Still no sign of Prologus. Hmm, maybe we'll get it on Thursday, when Duodecim is released in Japan.
Ooh, and we'll finally be able to figure out if there are any more characters too.
I WANT THIS GAME!
but I wont be able to afford it

The Phantom Train appears to be the smallest map now. You're literally battling in one of the baxcars so you have practically no air game.
Urrrghh, Dissidia in a boxcar? I don't think that's going to be fun.
So, it's now out in Japan, and no new character from either VI or IX. Why? I mean, I like most of the new characters, but I'd dump Prishe, Laguna, or Vaan in a heartbeat to get Celes, Locke, or Beatrix. Heck, I'd get rid of Desperado Chaos to get one of them.
And still no sign of Prologus. Stupid Squenix.
The FFIV Complete Collection Bonus for Dissidia Duodecim has been revealed to be a fourth costume for Cecil which makes him resemble his classic SNES/PS/GBA sprites.

Also, for the lulz, here's Gilgamesh's failed Ex-Burst (this alone makes me want to use him now).
That's a bummer. I have lost absolute interest in ever playing this title. Triple thumbs down.Quote:

Zack CC (hed probably move a little slower than cloud, but be a lot stronger, heck even genesis would have made a good character... but not angeal)
Is there a list of confirmed characters>?
there are several others.
Same here. I might buy it eventually, but all the excitement I've had for the game is essentially lost. I still have my origianl Dissidia, it's still fun, I'll stick with that.Quote:

I'm disappointed as well, though I'll add I'm still scorned about losing out on Leon from FFII as well. I wanted him and Squall to meet each other and have them comment on each other's names. :D
I have the game pre-ordered and I am still happy to get Kain, Gilgamesh, and Laguna but overall, I'm not happy with most of the new characters announced. I would have much preferred Auron for Yuna, Basch or Lady Ashe for Vaan, and Aerith as a playable character over Tifa (which wasn't going to happen anyway, I know).
The alternate costumes have been much better this time around. I still want Kuja in his rare Amano design (he looks completely different) and maybe see Squall in his Balamb Uniform but that's what DLC is for. I'm just hoping SE will have the foresight to actually add new characters as DLC, even if they won't be as well integrated into the story as the rest of the cast.
I'm curious to know if the Ultimania for the game has an explanation as to why FFI-III, VI, and IX were passed over for new characters.
I made a card collection of Yugioh cards based on the cast of this game. I'm not familiar with several of these characters, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me feedback.

Moved--
I could swear that I was posting that in the Cards thread. Must have stopped paying attention.
Though I have no issues plugging another thread in your posts, I would prefer if everyone else left their insight for the plugged thread in the acual thread instead of changing topics in this one... :colbert:
Don't think anyone mentioned this but DLC of a new fourth costume for Zidane and Kuja have been revealed.
Two weeks and counting. Still no Prologus. I think Squenix just forgot about overseas.
Knowing them, they'll either release it the day of the games release or just decide to charge us for Aerith DLC on day one.
Well good news about Dissidia Prologus. Sure it is coming way later than it should have but here it is. We will have it by next week no doubt (or on release day which would be lol fail).
Here's my evidence. Have hope.
Twitter / Sonia Im: Dissidia Prologus peeps I ...
there is also a very slight chance that we will either be charged less for it or not all (which I doubt considering SE).
If I have to ay for it, I will kill SE
You will have to pay for it. It is a paid demo. Part of why they gave Aeris unique combat mechanics was to encourage people to pay for the Prologus demo. It isn't going to be free.Quote:

Oh, and pay attention to your preorder bonuses! Preorder from Gamestop to get Cloud's KH outfit. Or preorder from Amazon to get Tifa's Amano artwork costume.
I'm wondering if you can just hack these alternate costumes in. I mean, if you're playing against a buddy and they're using an alt (KH Cloud, for argument's sake), I'm assuming you can see that they're using an alternate costume. So if the models are already in the game, I can see people releasing unofficial patches that have all of the costumes available.
But I have absolutely no idea how that works so I'm probably way off! :p
Another confirmation for Prologus. Chances are you're going to have to pay for it but technically it does offer a unique story that's not in the main game and you are getting Aerith so technically it's justified cause it's less of a demo and more of a micro-game/DLC. I'm not really annoyed, I just wish it wasn't about Lightning, but getting to play Kain a few weeks early will be nice.
Except it's not a few weeks, it is going to be ten days early. And that assumes it comes out tomorrow. Which is unlikely.
More like a week...
Prologus has been announced in the U.S. for March 15th, it will be $2.99. So we only get a week but hey, at least we got it right?
I am rather happy we are getting it, me and my co-worker at GameStop were going to be rather pissed if it didnt come here, 3 bucks for Aerith and more story... sure why not Im already paying like 30 bucks so w/e
What time do these things usually hit the PSN download points? I mean, I know when my local GameStop opens (as well as walking and motorbike time to reach it), but digitally distributed software is always tricky, especially across the oceans.
I mean, it has been the 15th in Japan for quite a while. Greenwich time has also rolled over to the new day. The east coast will hit midnight in about forty minutes, my own time an hour after that, and the Pacific coast won't get it for another three and a half hours.
So should I expect a midnight release, and be looking at the next hour with eager anticipation? Should I expect a midnight release for the Pacific timezone to ensure that it is midnight for the entire United States? Or will it be released mid-day, and I can go take a nap and come back later?
EDIT: 2:00 AM Central time, no sign of Prologus. And that means I won't be able to buy and download it before I go to work, which, in turn, means I can't get it today. Stupid release date is a lie.
prologus is out!
Goddamnit, I miss my PSP :mad2: I want this!
The game is released today, I'm going to have to sneak into the mall where I work so I can pick it up (boss doesn't know its my Spring Break) but its finally here. :)
Sorry to W-Post but I decided to take a break from redoing the 13th cycle and started playing with one of the more interesting features which is the quest building part. Its been pretty fun, I wish I had unlocked more stuff so I may have to edit it on later points before I really start giving it to people but this has provided a very comical and amusing way to vent some frustration about the game. I'll have to make a thread about it later. I wonder if I can store it on my PC and zip so other people can play...:shifty:
