dissidia

[Cruelty]

dissidia came out in juppan a few days ago. you owe it to yourself to (likely) download this game and try it out. or import it if youre a spoiled middle-class child. or import it if you have a job (,asshole).

in case you dont give two shits about square enix (aka youre a normal person), and you haven't heard, its basically a 3d fighting game with a load of final fantasy characters and levels and a bunch of music you've already heard in those games. theres 2 characters from each ff (1-10) in the game; the most likely hero+villain pair, and i think some dude from ff12 or something.

i know, youre thinking 'why should i care about this shit its gay'; and you're probably right. but heres the wacky part, its actually good. the mechanics are almost all totally new concepts, and they work really well (once you can figure them out. theyre kinda weird tbh). its kinda like kingdom hearts, except you dont scroll through menus in your fights, and its not riddled with as much lame (i mean, cloud and sephiroth are still there, but you can just ignore those fags).. and that its actually not like kingdom hearts cause i hate that shit and i like this <3

if you can manage to look past the cash-cow qualities, its fun as shit (a really fun shit, like the one after thanksgiving or mexican food). beating the ever-loving hell out of tidus just one time with that stupid clown from ff6 is reason enough to at least give this game a whirl.

then once you get past the battle system, theres a big expansive equipment, skill, and summon system lurking around the corner. i have little idea what any of this shit is because i dont know japanese. it's fucking huge tho. theres tons of equipment, and accessories. there are summons from each ff game (you know, they redesign them each time lol), and then theres your attacks which you can choose and passive skills and whatnot. i'm guessing the game may actually be better (perhaps worse, who knows) if you understand the skills and abilities.

theres a story line somewhere. apparently people (fags) actually care about that. i skip all that shit so i have no idea if the the cutscenes are any good (theres a ton of them). btw option to skip cutscenes = GG

so anyway, if youre a psp owner (lol), you owe it to yourself to play one of the best things to come out of square since ff9 (which was the only good thing until now).

play + discuss please :}

Yeah, that sold me.

Seriously, though, I'm glad to hear that it's actually good.  It would have been disappointing to see that much hype and having it suck majorly.  I'll wait for the English release, though.  :x

are you talking about this?:

the battle system looks confusing.
So this is like FF1+FF2+FF3+FF4+FF5....= new game? square enix creativity rocks.

 

[Cruelty]

Yeah, that sold me.

mission accomplished :hercule:


its not really just a battle system, as thats pretty much the whole game. it IS kinda confusing at first.
you have a 'brave' count, and you raise it by attacking you opponent with normal attacks, which also lowers his brave. then when you do a hp attack, the damage is equivalent to your brave. its weird at first, but its pretty interesting to just pump up your BP for a few minutes without even touching your opponent's hp, then just annihilate him in one hit with your massive BP. you do that for 3 or 4 minutes, romping around large, somewhat destructible 3d environments, and then you do it again.

At first I was like 'heh this is another gay cash cow by Square to make money by pitting their characters against each other in a gay game heh how gay' but when I realized that games like Marvel vs Capcom is basically the EXACT same concept (and the MvC series are some of the best video games, period) I realized at how pretentious and retarded I sounded.

I'm looking forward to playing this with an open mind.

I'm kind of reluctant after seeing how much Castlevania Judgement (it's a fairly lame association, but one I can't really get rid of in my mind) sucked (why did they get the guy from death note to do character designs WHY NOT JUST GET KOJIMA (also the power attack thing was REALLY GAY sorry guys but pretty much guaranteeing that each round both characters will be able to use an attack that gets rid of 2/3 of the life bar is not a good idea (it's like smash balls only much worse,))) but hey, this is a FIGHTING GAME! I don't care about the premise and characters so long as the balance is good and the game is overall fun.

 

[Feldschlacht IV]

If it means anything at all (and I always take this with a grain of salt since Japanese people like anything other Japanese people make) the game is doing really well in Japan. Apparently, it really is a well done and solid game. As in, it's fun to play and the gameplay is good.

I found this game on a river of a torrent

Playing it now. Confusing as fuck cos i dont know japanese, also this game is FANSERVICE.
They only did it because they did know this game would have sold like hotcakes.
Next step FFVII remake.

 

[Incognitus]

Next step FFVII remake.

I would like it on the Nintendo DS with their new remake graphic engine plz.



Anyway, played a demo of this: It really shouldn't work - and there's this constant nagging voice that keeps reminding one how naff it is - but then it starts and it's SOOOO MUCH FUN! ^_^

Nooo, it will probably directed by Nomura, so it will peobably end up being on PS3 (if it will) or PSP.

Also you like it because IT IS a solid game. I have it and it's really damn fun game.

 

[Cruelty]

the game is MOSTLY balanced. mostly. the cool characters like garland get the shaft cause theyre big as FUCK and slow as fuck and yet all the characters have the same stats and weapon (if you buy/use the right skills to equip foreign weapons). by definition, big guys are supposed to be powerhouses. :{

i'd like to have seen them implement jecht's awesome timing combos onto the other characters. he's the only character in the game who doesn't let you mash buttons to do his badass combos.

 

[Yaxor]

Yeah. Jecht is motherfucking awesome.

Also fuck ExDeath and Garland suck but time and i'm sad because i liked Exdeath and wanted him to be good not at a training sack for get fast exp
