I'd go into the void with her any fucking day. God, Darkness is sexy. Screw the light. :monster:

I didn't think the Cloud of Darkness slept around and got that stretched but sure, why not :awesome:

Bitch is the sex incarnate.

After looking at all of Cloud's battle quotes, the quote:

"This isn't the place to stop."

Is definitely the English localization equivalent of "There's no gettin' off this train" in Dissidia.

Yeah, big fail on Square Enix's part. They dropped the ball on that reference, epically. Just...zoomed right over their head. That's pretty fucked up.

:ondore:

...right?:'(

I'm dead serious. No reason or desire to lie about something I'm this disappointed over.

Here, just for kicks, Balthier quotes! Cookies to anyone who can tell me where they come from. Not all are right from Balthier, some come from his buddies ;).

:aah:

:demands:

Seriously, that's supremely disappointing. That was seriously my single favorite FF7 reference in the whole damn game! Argh. Now, SE America should know this shit, but since they obviously don't, when they shipped the script from Japan, SE Japan should have noted what each reference was for...

:offended:

(also: "Pick your path and stick to it." [Vs. Cloud] - awesome.)

Oh my God Drake..you sonofabitch.

That...that's fucking impressive. Those quotes are seriously awesome and well chosen. I seriously wish Balthier was in this game. So bad.

Fuck dude, that's...I wish I could thank you more than once. That was amusing and VERY well done. I love them all. Very nice references to FFXII and RW in there.

Intro quotes were perfect. Loved the quote against WoL too.

Cloud's is great, as is Squall's and his snark towards Zidane. And interesting little stab at Tidus there too in terms of how he's debated about whether he's the lead or Yuna. :monster:

The villain quotes though...are fucking awesome.

The Golbez one is fucking perfect. LOL @ the one towards ExDeath. And the pun with Ultimecia is great.

Just..awesome job right there dude. Wonderful.

Heh, thanks Tyrant....gah, confusing, I'm used to calling you Mako.

I wouldn't mind Balthier in Dissidia either, but they booted him for Gabranth. Gabranth is awesome, but Balthier is better.

BTW, what RW references did you see?

Whoa...I can totally see him saying all those things. Why can't he be in this game?! If they ever make a Dissidia 2, they better put him in there.

Thanks Drake!

If there's a Dissidia 2 it needs to be on consoles, in full HD glory with large detailed character models and huge fanfare.

Picturing the way Dissidia 2 would look on the DS is pretty funny. They'd probably try to fit the stylus in there somewhere.

:lol:

Would they go with 2D sprites or ugly 3D?

"I will prove that I am superior!" [Vs. Cecil]

That was rather awesome there, Drake. ^^

Man, I want Dissidia 2, and I want Kain in.

BTW, Ultimecia's quotes....bleh.

Intro:
"Let us begin."
"This battle is a waste of time."
"Are you sure you're ready?"
"You'll regret having met me."
"Resist no more."
"Poor child..."
"I will deny all you stand for."
"I am a witch that can manipulate time."
"Your timing couldn't be worse."
"Don't take pity on me!"
"Why stand in the way of a witch?"
"Let me see how strong you are."
"This will be over in a moment."
"I hope your dreams are sweet."

Vs. Cosmos:
"Is a momentary gleam all you need?" [Vs. WoL]
"A simple-minded young man." [Vs. Firion]
"Ha, my foe, a child?" [Vs. OK]
"Do not resist temptation!" [Vs. Cecil]
"Is his head empty?" [Vs. Bartz]
"Perhaps your gears are stuck..." [Vs. Terra]
"No use trying to erase the past." [Vs. Cloud]
"You do not have a place here." [Vs. Squall]
"I wonder if you can dance with me." [Vs. Zidane]
"Your mouth will get you in trouble." [Vs. Tidus]

Vs. Chaos:
"We both know you're a slave to time." [Vs. Garland]
"Time reigns over all!" [Vs. Emperor]
"You would fight against me?" [Vs. CoD]
"You should be honest with yourself." [Vs. Golbez]
"The Void is part of time and space..." [Vs. Exdeath]
"How do I know if you're serious?" [Vs. Kefka]
"Go back to the time of your memory." [Vs. Sephiroth]
"Either you or I is an imposter." [Vs. Ultimecia]*
"There are manners even in battle." [Vs. Kuja]
""Would you like to escape from infinity?" [Vs. Jecht]

Other:
"I am more powerful than you..." [Vs. Shantotto]
"Have you lost something in the past?" [Vs. Gabranth]
"You are another victim of time..." [Vs. Chaos]

Win:
"No one is superior to time."
"Reality is harsh. Is it not?"
"I want you to revere me."
"Such a waste of time."
"This is the reality of time."
"I shall even control fate."
"Not what I expected..."
"Oh, are we done here?"
"What a shame..."
"You should start over from the past."

Loss:
"Was I defeated?
"I lost... to the likes of you!?"
"How...? I control everything..."
"This is not the end...!"
"I cannot disappear just yet..."
"The time of ruination..."
"Could this also be fate...?
"Could I win if I turn back time...?"**
"How could this be!?"
"Has time betrayed me!?"

Time time time time time, yeah, we get it, she can control time, moving on. Some of these are just boring and lame, plain and simple. And it's not a bad translation, most of these are very close to the Japanese version.

And the asterisks. For the first one, the guy who posted this notes that "A - it's spelled impostor", "B - the sentence is grammatically wrong", and "C - maybe she just traveled back in time to fight herself and both are real".

As for the second set of asterisks, I guess Ulty likes Cher...
