Dissidia Costume Theory Thread

[Wolf Kanno]

wait...so there ARE four alt costumes for each character?

because there's definitely more than 1 alt for each character in that video ^^^ (some have more than 4, but i'm assuming that those are ex-mode alterations [eg. the emperor {i know onion knight's alternatives include his ex-modes}])

Some of them are EX modes, the final costumes (where they are a pure color) are the random battle version you fight on the chess boards. I'm genuinely surprised by the costume designs especially since the Firion one was partly wrong. He turns into his actual Amano design. Same with good ole Bartz. Kawaii must be squeeling with glee.

i don't think this is the correct thread to post in, but i have something to say about the actual gameplay of this game...

their moves seem very limited from what i have experienced (i have a japanese version of the game), i mean, Square and Circle are the only two attacking buttons (triangle allows you to run up walls and Cross is to jump), and the characters just seem to do the same two moves...i can't read any of the instructions or prompts or anything, but has anybody heard of some way to do combos or something?
another thing that annoys me is that i can't use firion's (frioniel...or something ) sword...square is a bow-and-arrow attack and circle is magic...so can anybody help me out in the 'attacks' and 'combos' department?

also, i forgot to mention that some of the moves change depending on whether you're in the air or on the ground (eg. firion's 'thunder grapple'-type move on the ground (circle [brave attack]) turns into a projectile ice attack in the air (however, his bow-and-arrow attack remains the same both in the air and on the ground), so they do, in fact, have more than 2 moves, but this makes for a maximum of 3 or 4, unless i'm missing something

EDIT: I'm also happy that the random battles will be 'crystal' people instead of the real-looking ones thanks for that, wolf (the info, not the feature )

It sounds like the Naruto fighting games for PS2. I would try different combinations of Circle and square with the d-pad. Try Up, up, square or forward, circle, circle. That or find the tutorial mode and play around.

[.:kerrod:.]

the d-pad just changes the camera angle but i'll try with the analogue stick, i suppose...and i will try to find the tutorial, but i have no idea what any of the options say, so it will be a struggle

Are you low level? You unlock more moves as you increase in level and do some other stuff as well, I think.

[.:kerrod:.]

oh cool...yes, i'm still level 1 i'm not doing any of the story (until i get the english version), so i hope you can level up in the 'instant action'-type mode...even though i won't be playing much of that anyway (don't want to get sick of the game before the english release )

Here's a video showing the costumes of Chaos, Cosmos, Gabranth and Shantotto(sp?)

I am kind of suprised and dissapointed that they didn't use the unmasked Neo Exdeath in this game in one form or another. Aside from being rather muscular, he was quite handsome. And we all know how much that factor sells in this franchise...

I wanted Tidus to have a Shuyin costume


The only things in his costumes that changed was his sword ;_;

His shiny costume was pretty neat-looking though; I like those. I laughed so much when I saw shirtless Sephiroth in leather pants xD



AND NO MISS CLOUD ;_;!!!

Not true. In fact, as far as I could tell, his weapon didn't change in his costume switch. The Caladbolg is used for his EX Mode, while the Brotherhood is used otherwise.

The change in his costume is very subtle, and rather sad compared to what the other characters get, but it is there. His shoes are the most obvious change (going from blue to yellow), but the rest of his outfit changed as well. The colors of his first outfit are duller and more washed-out, while the colors of his secondary costume are much brighter primary colors. And the armor on his left elbow switches a little as well, though you don't get a great view of it.

The changes are there, but they are very minor. Tidus's outfit didn't get a lot of love.
