Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy

Splintered

unsavory tart
Oooh, is that her slave crown? I completely forgot that she was with Chaos prior to the first game. Chaos!Terra will be awesome.

EDIT: I know the history of Terra's hair. But I seriously wish they'd just use her green hair.

I love Barret, and not just because his name is my last name, I really like everything about the character and the story he goes through. I would love to see him in Dissidia (and yes, his sailor suit would be the best alt costume), but I agree that we'd probably never see it.

And you got it Splintered, I will never get over Terra's hair. It should be green. I don't think I've played a single match in Dissidia with blonde hair, it just bugged me that the cutscenes don't show the costume you're in.

Seeing Tidus shirtless makes sense since I guess it parallels shirtless Jecht. The key difference is that Jecht actually has something worth showing.

Hey, so I have a crackpot theory I'd like to share.

In the first Dissidia, the characters were all drawn by Nomura with influences of Amano on each, right? In a way, their 'Nomura-look' was their main costume. Since Duodecim is a prequel of sorts, maybe the developers are reverting some of the characters back to their Amano art, this time with Nomura influences as a way of communicating this link with a previous cycle. Just like Amano worked before Nomura, so too are the characters taking up primarily Amano designs to fit that.
Essentially, all the images we've seen of characters in their Amano art isn't their alternates, but rather their new mains. Make sense? I realize that Nomura is still doing the designs, but maybe it's the look he's trying for.

Also, I'm excited for the new story mode, mainly because I want to see heroes die. Not cheeky 'gameplay death', but actually dying so their only chance is a revival in the next cycle. I think this game's equivalent of Shade Impulse should feature the heroes getting picked off, each getting their own final battle, until only WoL or something tries to fight Chaos. It'd force you to use someone you may suck as, but would be very interesting IMO.

I want an epic death scene for Tifa. I would like either one of these scenarios for her death, both being in a fight with Sephiroth;
1) She tries to take him down using his sword, but ends up caught the same way by Sephiroth as she is in Lost Order, and then receives the final blow.
2) Impaled Aerith-style. Falling Aerith-style, etc etc.

In both cases Cloud should be watching. In the second scenario he'd be all like, "awww, not AGAIN!"
I WANT TO SEE THE BLOOD FLOW.

...:awesome:

What I expect cleared up is Dissidia's connections to the canon FF worlds. Are these different characters made in the images of the originals, are they the originals brought together with their memories erased, did their worlds form for the first time after Chaos died in the original Dissidia? One way or the other, explain.

Doesn't fit, actually. The original game was Nomura homages to Amano designs. You might be right about ramping up the Amano-ness, but it's always been 'Amano as done by Nomura'

Man is an admitted Amano fan. Said as much for the first game.
I think he should keep walking this path, myself.

They're actually real people from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Adventure, Legends, and Chocobo Tales who are being POSSESSED by the people from the original games.
Also, the worlds were explicitly stated as broken in the first game, so they existed 'before' inasmuch as there is such a thing when time and space are broken all to hell and you're stuck in a timeloop besides.

You guys do know, that the heroes can still lose without dying right?

Actually Cloud was the only not done in pure Amano fashion, since indeed he is the one Nomura drew first. Him getting that treatment now is just offering up a new alt costume i should think (Tidus' new alt is also based on an Amano drawing but so was the one in Dissidia 1).

They're going to die in some form though, because when you die, you lose your memories in the next turn of the cycle. That's why in the first game all the villains were aware of the bullshit regarding the constant rebirth and death, and the heroes were basically amnesiac until later on.

I kinda doubt it's going to be that clear cut this time around though.

I mean, they're not going to just throw what we already know at us, otherwise there's not much point to the story.

Also, why did they make WoL so much prettier?

Sorry, my phrasing was shit, but I already knew it was 'Amano as done by Nomura'. You're right though that my theory is balls :monster:

I agree with this, namely because I don't really know any of the Amano designs too well, so it's interesting to see them.

Doesn't change the fact that I want to see them die. At least a couple :awesome:

I still want to hope that some time-travel shit will be pulled and it will actually make the game turn into a pseudo-prequel since it will actually be a sequel...

Whatever, the game will rock, but the storyline is not convincing me from the get go.

Again, what do you have against it being a prequel?

For God's sake, the ending of Dissidia 1 was pretty shut. The world was restored. They all went home. Cosmos returned to ruling and having the universe in balance.

WoL went to go start his adventure in Final Fantasy 1.

It was pretty done.

Them making it a prequel was a smart move, to keep the ending of Dissidia in tact, and not have the series feel too contrived and recycled.

Or they could have been original and come up with a new premise where Cosmos needed to call the heroes AND the villains back to combat a new threat.

It doesn't have to be a retread of the same old conflict, just further back.
