Dissidia: Final Fantasy

I played the demo, but now I'm not so sure I'll buy it. The idea of playing as a taru and whipping Cloud's ass has appeal... as does playing as Squall and whipping Cloud's ass... or any character whipping Cloud's ass, but the demo felt like a plotless Crisis Core. Fighting games don't usually excite the pleasure centers of my brain, so this isn't a huge disappointment, but I wanted to like it more.

I wasn't expecting much else other than a Crisis Core battle system where you could fly around and run up walls, which is what Dissidia is, though I like the nostalgia, and a lot of unlockable crap to get in the game when it releases.
I also love how the costumes/ex modes look.
It's fun to me overall and that's all that matters.
There's some plot there, it's just the forces of Cosmos against Chaos, but it's mainly a game for the fans. It's also thought to be a prequel to FFI.
If Dissidia sells well enough overseas and they do a sequel they want to do it with other characters throughout FF history.

I'll be beating it all with each of the characters, though my favorite in the demo was Terra, so I can see myself maining her when it releases, plus she's the heroine from my favorite FF, so it works out.

I want to main Onion and Exdeath, but I hear Exdeath is hardcore to get a hang of.

I also find myself increasingly drawn to the hilarity of Kefka's VA. "Zappo!"

I have to say that I was pleasently surprised by the demo, offering five characters to test out (With two different move sets depending on "difficulty level") as well as plenty of random encounters.

I was and still am very excited for the game to come out. The English VA really isn't all that bad, I found myself amused by one of Sephiroth's winning subtitles ("Hehehe").
Oh, and I agree with Xal on Kefka. "You'll be well done!"
 
Question, did Square Enix get the best Kefka Cosplayer EVER to play as Kefka in this???



^^This guy.^^ He is absolute win!
 
Funny thing, that guy is prolly THE MAN at that convention.
Also, his throat must be killing him a the end of the night from doing that laugh and yelling lol
 
I can't find a good video of Kefka's english voice :( booo

If you can play the demo, you can encounter Kefka randomly (I tend to run into him in the 4th match).
 
Been playing the demo since I downloaded it yesterday. Cecil is awesome. Soul Eater is awesome.

Getting my ass handed to me by the Warrior of Light in Round 3? Awesome too.

A definite buy when it comes out.
 
You know what would've been hilarious?
Mark Hamill.

Also, of course I'd never noticed this having tooled around with the JP version, but I do like how their opening quotes are targeted at the enemy, instead of spouting random repeated shit.

Hmm... thought Firion sounded familiar.
He's voiced by that thar Ichigo person.
 
I didn't know cloud was such a fucking emo...honestly..
 
I'd like a Battle of the Cid's, FFIV vs FFVII Cid, or any of the other versions.
I'd also kill for Gilgamesh as a playable character, and ones like Mog, Shadow, Locke, Edgar, Galuf, Kain, Edge, Vincent, Cait Sith, Yuffie, Zell, Quistis, Quina, Freya, and so on so forth.

This, but I'd also add Prishe.

Also I give you this fan animation using Dissidia Characters, plus one character who should never be there in the first place.

Even though I detest Vaan unbearably so, he's more deserving of being in the game than Shantotto was. Personally, I feel Basch should've been included. FF12 would've been so much better had he remained the main character.

Well, it's something they could use for, lets face it, the inevitable sequel.

A thought crossed my mind though, if they do make a sequel, they should incorporate at most 2 heroes (and maybe villains) from each FF game they can get in. FF 1 would be kinda hard to find specifically 2 characters for, but they can do that for every other FF game in there. Though could even make it so that Promathia from FFXI is included as the main villain with Cosmos and Altana fighting to stop him (and maybe Chaos). They could even add the four fiends from FFIV or Chaos' underlings from FFI in there.

This would be what I think they could include character wise for Dissidia II:

FFI: Warrior of Light, Red Mage/Wizard. Garland, (Undecided).
FFII: Firion, Maria. Emperor Mateus, Leon (Anti-hero of sorts, subordinate of Mateus).
FFIII: Luneth, Refia. Cloud of Darkness, Xande (Subordinate of Cloud of Darkness).
FFIV: Cecil, Kain. Golbez, Four Fiends (Subordinates of Golbez, can alternate like how Cecil can switch between Dark Knight and Paladin).
FFV: Butz, Leina. Exdeath, Gilgamesh (Subordinate of Exdeath, mirror's Butz's Mime abilities where he can use any weapon).
FFVI: Terra, (Undecided second hero due to huge cast, possibly Celes). Kefka, General Leo (Anti-hero, subordinate of Kefka).
FFVII: Cloud, Tifa. Sephiroth, Jenova (Subordinate of Sephiroth, don't ask me how, it just popped into my head).
FFVIII: Squall, Rinoa. Ultimecia, Edea (or Adel, Subordinate of Ultimecia).
FFIX: Zidane, Vivi (or Garnet). Kuja, (Undecided, could possibly be Beatrix).
FFX: Tidus, Auron. Jecht, Seymour (Subordinate of Jecht).
FFXI: Shantotto, Prishe. Shadow Lord, Nag'Molada.
FFXII: Ashe, Basch. Vayne, Gabranth.
FFXIII: Lightning, Snow. (Villains are unnamed as of yet).
FFXIV (Pushing it but it could happen)
Gods: Altana, Cosmos. Promathia, Chaos.

You could have the subordinates fight the heroes in the plot first and bring out more characterization and add more to the plot if they do it this way. Of course, this is just my ramblings =P
