Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy

Aerithhhhhhhh <3

Speaking of, has it ever been confirmed that Aerith would come with the English versions of the game?

 

[Roger]

I can just imagine all those Dissidia youtube.com video series' with Exdeath and Garland looking pissed off 24/7

 

[Splintered]

Amano Aerith is amazing.

Makes me wonder they couldn't do anything but a boring recoloring on Kuja.

 

[Roger]

Well you know, gotta prioritise.

They have plans for an English version of Prologus, I think? I guess she'll be included with that.


Also a bunch of French screen shots, a lot of which look new to me and makes me wish to learn French:

Going back to the 'English menus' thing mentioned before: You can see some of the stuff that's left in English that was AFAIK translated in the first game (like 'Commence Battle' or the AP chance text, the result notices at the end of battle, etc.).

The French really, really like Vaan.

Anyway, I don't care if I'm late but...

I think I had too high of hopes for Tifa, because I really wanted to use her a lot but she seems, well. Very blockable and struggles a lot in her fights. Granted, I hate AI-Sephiroth and find him hard (maybe I just suck). The feints don't seem that impressive.

I'm holding out that the people who use her aren't just that good.

Yuna too, but I don't care either way for Yuna. She's flashy but she just doesn't seem like fun to play as. That said, she absolutely dominated Prishe and Jecht so she's probably a beast when you can use her. And has a great victory pose.

Prishe on the other hand, looks down right amazing to play as. I'd main her if she's significantly better than Zidane or Terra. Vaan actually looks decent to play as well. Lightning is definitely going to be one of my most used characters- a lot of people says she plays pretty strong. But meh on Kain, and Laguna I don't know what to make of him.

Giglamesh looks hilarious.

Friend translated the French, going picture by picture. Actually some nice insights to the story here, like how Vaan meets Terra and what's going on with Tidus and Yuna:

I can't figure out what determines when you're on a world map and when you're on the board.

...really? I thought she rocked Sephiroth. She looked in control of that fight the whole time to me.

I was glad the AI in those videos put up some resistance so we got to see a lot of abilities.

 

[Roger]

To be honest it lookeed like the player was toying with the AI the whole time in every battle to me.

 

[ForceStealer]

I only noticed toying when their EX bar was nearly full

Maybe, but I'm still not completely sold on the whole feint thing. Half the time she did, she was blocked. Maybe it's something you need to use to understand.

 

[Elisa Maza]

Am I the only one who thought that the player had to misuse Tifa in order to give a chance to Aerith's assist moves?

 

[ForceStealer]

I dunno, that combo of Seal Evil and the charge-up Meteor Strike looked damned effective.

 

[Elisa Maza]

I mean to show to people what they can do, so they had Tifa holding back.

Some screenshots.

NA site updated. It's not a major update though, mentions the Tifa and Cloud pre-order costumes, as well as adding the final trailer (with English subs).

No clue if anyone really wants these, but I thought they looked nice:

Kind of assuming here since I'm not completely sure, but I think you explore on the world map until you find a dungeon, which when you enter will take you onto a board.

 

[Alex Strife]

^ Dungeons are in board mode, yes. It's been said before.

You know, I kind of hate how they split up the dlc, it's annoying for us that want both. IMO, they just screw the fans this way.

Hopefully they'll be made avaliable in later dlc.

EDIT: I complain too much

EDIT II:

IGN commentary on new characters

 

[Ite]

Duo-deckem.

 

[Elisa Maza]

I noticed. They are confusing the original Latin pronunciation with the Middle Ages one. Or, the Japanese just put the Italian pronunciation in.

 

[Cloud_S]

So the covers are now on amazon.jp. I downloaded the full-image (what you normally can only see a portion of through the zoom-tool).

[Tetsujin]

These CG covers are so badly put together, it's really an embarrassment.

I like how every character has random blurry parts. =P

 

[Super Mario]

Hate to say it but other than gilgamesh, jecht and new golbez costume. MvC3 > duodecim >;

Hey, at least they got the size difference between OK and Jecht right this time!

 

[Max Payne]

Tifa's Amano alt is ridiculous. They left out the most important part ffs.
