Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy

[Dashell]

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

 

[Tifabelle]

So...what's the deal with these feints?

Cause I can get them to work...kind of. Everytime I do it, they dodge it. So what's the point. Plus I don't see the benefit over just attacking regularly...(avoiding attacks?).

[OneWingedDemon]

A reserved young man who brandishes a large sword with ease. He leads his other warriors with his rational decision-making befitting a leader, but internally he has difficulty being confident in his actions.

No, Jecht was not killed by Kain, the timeframe doesn't even allow for this so I'm not sure how one would think that. Anyone who is not watching the reports, I suggest you do so, Jecht's fate is explained in their optional scenes.

Spoiler

I know what happens to Jecht. What I was saying was, WoL wasn't surprised or defensive or anything when Lightning jumped to lay the blame on Kain and even after he spilled his guts on th whole deal he was't like "but we're just putting them to sleep, I an't fathom what happened to Jecht. WoL thought Kain killed Jecht as well, so it can't all that different from what happens to the others.

AI has abnormal reflexes. She's suppose to be better against human players, but I don't really pvp so who knows. Feints come in handy only occasionally for me, but usually just to close gaps in distance.

well excuse me for having better things to do than memorize every characters move list from the last game.

I didn't say you had to, but if you don't notice the new changes than frankly you just didn't pay attention to the first game period. Cecil, Sephiroth and Squall likewise all have new moves, Cecil has two, and tweaks to their old moves.

Ah, okay then. Yeah it's the same, Emperor says int he 13th cycle that Jecht doesn't remember her time as a Cosmos warrior in the 12th cycle, meaning Jecht had lost his memories as though he had lost.

 

[Ryushikaze]

well excuse me for having better things to do than memorize every characters move list from the last game. Clouds change was barely noticeable they just added an extra effect to a move he already had, and I still don't see any difference in Cecil, Sephiroth, or Squall,

Cecil has two new HP moves. His Lunar Force Lag has been cut down considerably, etc.

Keep in mind, OWD, they don't know of his questionable past in Dissidia, and he's in rather good form during that game.

Skuzzbutt?

Oh yeah, the 'thundaga' stuff - Ali said she was directed to say it that way. She also said that each line is recorded two or three times, and then the editors/producers/etc. take the best line of the group.

Cloud Strife

A reserved young man who brandishes a large sword with ease. He leads his other warriors with his rational decision-making befitting a leader, but internally he has difficulty being confident in his actions.

But you know, that ability to laugh at this is what makes Cloud so endearing!

To me.

 

[Tifabelle]

I noticed Yuna says some of the aeons' names weird too. Ifrit and Ixion in particular.

 

[ForceStealer]

Again, that's them attempting to stick to the Japanese pronunciation. "If-FREET," "Ick-SHI-on."

While I get sticking to the original pronunciation for people's names - and indeed, the Japanese pronunciation is more accurate to what "Ifrit" is supposed to be anyway, an "efreechi," a fire genie from arab mythology - but I dunno if its necessary for spell names. It just makes them sound off.
Especially considering they're not all that consistent anyway, "Cure," "Cura," "Curaga," isn't how its said in Japanese. And our "Fira" is closer to "Fire-ra" in Japanese.

Ali said she was directed to say it that way.

Where do you people keep hearing from all the voice actors about this stuff?

I dunno about you but THUNDABLARGAFGA is the best thing to happen to Dissidia.

Ali Hillis said so on her Facebook profile.

 

[Elisa Maza]

Spoiler: Questions about the crystals

Where did the crystals of the 012 characters go? Did the power of Cosmos faded along with them, their crystals never to be manifested in the end? If so, what happened to the Cosmos power these warriors got? Could it fade away, just like them?

And how did the new Cosmos warriors, Cloud, Tidus and Terra get theirs? They weren't among the ones who received Cosmos' light/power, as we saw in the cutscene.

If we assume that they may have gotten the crystals of the people they interacted with (in... some... way...) in the 012 cycle, (Cloud got Tifa's, Terra got Vaan's, and Tidus got Yuna's) then what about the rest, Lightning, Kain, Laguna?

This question is never addressed in the reports and stuff, right?

 

[ForceStealer]

Spoiler

I haven't gotten all the reports, but it seems a good question. I think Tidus definitely got Jecht's from when he transferred his life force or whatever he did. Dunno about the others.

 

[Roger]

Spoiler

Tidus got all of Jechts power, but other then that, they weren't given the full extent of the power they have in Dissidia in 012 anyway. In the latter half of Report 7 Golbez tells Cosmos that it would mean her doom if she gave even further harmony power to her Warriors. So, Cecil and co got another power-up anyway. Maybe Cloud and Terra have a little less of Cosmos' power in them then everyone else but that doesn't really matter.

Ali Hillis said so on her Facebook profile.

I asked her on her Facebook, and that's what she said.

 

[Glaurung]

I still don't know what's the problem with the "Thundaga" thing. It's a weird word, no matter how you pronounce it.

Spoiler

And I blame Cloud's disappointing death scene to voice directing.

Lol, I'm such a slowpoke!

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I still don't know what's the problem with the "Thundaga" thing. It's a weird word, no matter how you pronounce it.

If we were still going by the Thunder, Thunder2, Thunder3 system, we wouldn't have this problem.

 

[Dark and Divine]

Spoiler: All this talk about Thunder, Thundaga and the like reminded me of this...

Also, according to those profiles, it's interesting to note that

Spoiler

two of my favourite characters kill themselves.

 

[Masamune]

 

[Tifabelle]

Yeah because saying Thunder3 is much less awkward than saying Thundaga

 

[Tetsujin]

I asked her on her Facebook, and that's what she said.

Ah, so it was you then.

 

[Roger]

Spoiler

And I blame Cloud's disappointing death scene to voice directing.

I agree. I was listening to Cloud's voice data and the sample lines that Burton provided were much more lively then anything else I listened too. Though I have to say this is Nomura fault cause everything is, I know that in the Reunion Files it is said that he specifically told the Japanese voice actor to voice lines softly even where you normally wouldn't because he had a very specific idea of what Cloud should act like.

 

[Ite]

As an actor, that's infuriating. We're happily at the mercy of directors, but when the director is a fucking sketch artist, they shouldn't be telling us to do things even when our trained fucking instincts scream to, you know, emote. Damn.
