Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy

[Splintered]

This isn't the first time you've expressed a rather vigorous reaction to the board thing...what was so bad about it? Its not that I liked it, but rather never perceived it as something calling for an opinion, it was a means to get to the next battle and give you a few choices in how to handle that. Admittedly, its more than most fighting games give you.

What did you have in mind?

Really? I think I only said I disliked the storymode in general once or twice. But that's because I hate the whole thing about it, flimsy character growth, groan worthy dialogue, and a terrible story. That being said, I find most fighting games like this so I'm just knocking on Dissida. But the game board design was just like another poke in the eye so I rather dislike it.

I'm mostly being melodramatic, it's perfectly ignorable at best, but an arbitrary nuisance that gets in the way between you and your objective for no other reason that they had to do something at worst. I just found the whole thing unintuitive to the point it became a flaw.

If I were to draw a flimsy comparison to another game, it something akin to... mining for resources in ME2. That or doing all those unnecessary hacks. You can do it, and the first time it doesn't bother you. But constantly going through the motion of the same busywork suddenly starts to make you irrationally hate it. I'm not going to say that ME2's resource pain and the storyboard are exactly the same, what I'm trying to point out it invoked the same amount of annoyance.

I wish someone would toss Vincent into a volcano.

At least SE couldn't ruin him anymore.

I actually liked the Tabletop RPG set up. The challenge of moving and maintaining your destiny points to get a higher score, and thus better items is pretty cool. It beats just a generic one man match against everyone, that they could've done. You could've just had to go through one fight or another and there not be any sort of challenge or exploration at all.

Kain is the coolest dude this side of Baron. I'll buy this just for his addition.

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah, I'm curious to see how the Jump mechanic'll work. Will it home? And as Dacon suggests, a martial artist would be interesting.

Threads merged, it was getting a little ridiculous

One of my main problems with Dissidia is it's a giant sausage fest with one half of the characters being swordsmen and the other magic monsters.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Well we got some pussy declared already. Let's hope Tifa and some others make their way in.

I demand a drag!Cloud alternative costume >:[

 

[Celes Chere]

They should put Faris in. She can be the unique trap character.

As a Vincent fan... I'm afraid I have to agree with you. That's one blessing why they haven't used Nanaki so much - at least they haven't screwed him up.

I demand a drag!Cloud alternative costume >:[

You could dress him up in the Princess items...

I want to see at least a mention of Mikoto from IX. If you have the other two named genomes, have them at least refer to her. Geez.

 

[Tetsujin]

I wish someone would toss Vincent into a volcano.

And shoot two rockets in his face? =P

Call me naive, but I think that they can't screw him up more than DoC already did. If he is included in this Dissidia sequel I will be thrilled; the battle system is sure to incorporate his true awesomeness in its full glory.

So here's holding out for the inclusion of Vincent. Personally I'd rather fight using him than Tifa.

 

[Roger]

I have no problem with Vincent, I think they could do well by him in Dissidia... But I'd rather see Laguna and Balthier, can't see them including that many gunners. We already know Nomura preferred Sazh before Lightning for Dissidia 2 so he's probably in already.

Anyway, didn't Nomura say Dissidia 2 would depend on how well Dissidia sold? And wasn't Dissidia doing terrible (at least worse then Crisis Core) due to piracy? What is up?

 

[Max Payne]

It was a reference to Tekken, not RE5.

What awesomeness? Lol.

Fuck gunners.

...

Spoiler

Granted Vincent kind of fucking sucked to use in the game, DoC did show he could kick significant amount of ass.

To bad they massacred his character in the process.

In a fighting game the last thing you want to do is encourage ranged fighting.

That's why we have Hadoken Fighter 4 now.

I dunno. I quite enjoyed playing characters like Terra. Dissidia is an odd beast of a fighter anyway, but I see where you are getting at.

If I remember correctly Terra couldn't spam ammo at you nonstop and keep you at a distance like a purely ranged fighter like a gunner could.

Firion and the Emperor can fight you without ever coming on the same half of the map as you IIRC.

EDIT: Or how about Ultimecia, she totally fights like a gunner.

Most of the matches I've seen with these characters, people manage to close the distance not long after, I haven't seen a match between two good players where someone spammed attacks from the other side of the map nonstop.

IIRC.

I'm not saying a gunner couldn't be tweaked and nerfed to make this an irrelevant issue, but guns are among the least interesting weapon a character can use in a freaking fantasy universe.

Seriously, because it's competing with Blitzballs, boomerangs, antlers, dolls, Megaphones and haircombs.

Hey man, a haircomb will fuck you up.

That's more Billy's style than the weapons he uses though.

He's actually CREATIVE with his shit.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

I'll give you that.
