Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy

[Meian]

Bundle will only released in Japan I'm betting.

Hopefully someone did leak it, although Yuna really wouldn't surprise me.

Which is why I hope it isn't considering they said it'd be shocking, as Laguna is prolly more shocking than Yuna

[Corrderio]

True, however like I said. I'm thinking it's either Beatrix or Leo due to the quotes around "shocking" in the article.

Then again, I look into stuff too deeply like that, so I could be wrong.

[Nevex]

There are rumors about FFVI's Phantom Train as a new stage.

[Tobi]

Yup, just saw this:

There's a scene in the JF trailer, showing Vaan and Zidane inside the Phantom Train. Possible new map?

Some reports of JF demo:

Firion:
Straight Arrow: greatly increased speed. Hard to react after it is released.
the 3 Magic Arts: can't see the difference.

Kuja:
can move freely when using Seraphic Star (Holy Star).

Kefka:
SS Blizzaga - the large chunk of ice (before split) cause guard stagger (Ranged Mid priority)
LS Thundaga - tracks vertically too.

Golbez:
Floating & Gravity System: If the initial palm hit is blocked, the little orb+laser will not appear now.
Gravity Force (Close): the little orb he shoots AFTER warping will cause guard stagger (Ranged Mid priority)

Lightning:
Wataga: cause guard stagger (Ranged Mid priority)

Vaan:
EX mode bonus: Increase damage (not sure by how much), pressing R+[] will switch to bare hand instantly.

Bartz was seen using Vaan's Katana in the PV.

[Spira]

i think Yuna will be shocking if she can spherechange lol.... ive been pushing for yuna a lot now havent i

[Alkar]

Empyreal Paradox is apparently the FFXI stage. I guess that means Prishe was picked after all.

EX core gives less EX force now. A 4 wings core fills about 50~70%.

Zidane
Booster 8: a forward rush attack, slightly longer range than Rumble Rush.

CoD has a new HP attack. No further details yet.

New Summon from FFXIII: ブリュンヒルデ Brynhildr

Another possible new stage (FFXI) shown in PV: 天象の鎖 Empyreal Paradox

source = 2ch

[Fereydoon]

Fuck yes Paradox. My favorite zone in XI.

[Corrderio]

Prishe wouldn't surprise me if she's added. She was considered but lost to Shanottto.

[Meian]

omg yes best stage yet considering it was used what 3 times for a BC in FF11 currently? I hope you're right man about Prishe I hope you're right lol... Phantom Train too what lol XD

Kefka:
SS Blizzaga - the large chunk of ice (before split) cause guard stagger (Ranged Mid priority)

Thank God wow that was incredibly annoying to deal with in the past

Golbez:
Gravity Force (Close): the little orb he shoots AFTER warping will cause guard stagger (Ranged Mid priority)

But I bet it can still be countered :\ hopefully not as that made playing against people like CoD a pain

Firion:
Straight Arrow: greatly increased speed. Hard to react after it is released.

Sounds spammable now lol

[Alkar]

Well Prishe is popular and was considered for the first game (replaced by Shantotto), Empyreal paradox is her stage as she's seen there 3 times (COP, AN, Abyssea).
It's the only logical choice imo, none of the villains is actually linked to the stage as much as she is and surely Shantotto isn't lol. Stages are usually taken from the final dungeon of that game, picking EP can only mean CoP.
Yuna and Prishe in one shot make me extremely happy though lol.

[Souj]

If what the person who saw the trailer says is correct, that is.
And if it is, there's a small chance it could be white phoenix fused kid. There's way more close range fighters than long distance fighters, and they did just add a female h2h fighter.

We have 3/4 of the roster using swords. I don't think having Tifa and Prishe is a huge deal.

[Nevex]

I don't think Prishe would be a pure close-range fighter though since she is part WHM with access to Banishga and Holy in FFXI.
I bet Dissidia version of Hundred Fists would cool to watch.

Still rather take another hand to hand player instead of a sword player.

AI will still dodge it every time, fuck level 9s. Assuming you can still hold it to delay the shot it should be real good against other players now though. I just hope they beefed up his air game, he's fucking awful in the air.

[Tobi]

Some more stuff

WoL
Sword Thrust: 1st hit (shield toss) has little verticle tracking

Firion
The second part of the 3 ground Brave attacks (Knife/Axe/Lance) are interchangable, depends on your input:
Towards + O = Lance follow up (slash > arrow)
O = Knife follow up (punch)
Away + O = Axe follow up (a few hits then knocks enemy away)

The 3 Magic Arts could be shot continuously up to 3 times, interchangeable too. E.g:
Fire > Fire > Fire
Thunder > Blizzard > Thunder
Blizzard > Fire > Thunder

Emperor
Dynamite: Cause Guard Crush (Ranged High priority) when fully charged.

Sephiroth
eleborate on 刹那 (Moment/Instant): fast startup like Doublecut, Dayflash. When hit, does a follow up attack that looks like Oblivion.

Jecht
when used as an Assist character,
Air Brave assist: Jecht Stream (Full) O, O, down+O

New basic ability
Multi Ground Dash : R+triangle, dash on ground towards opponent.
Multi Ground Dash+: R+triangle, dash on ground towards opponent. Turning possible (with analog stick)
Ground Dodge Distance Up
Assist Lock on

Some more

Firion
Reel Axe: the second part of the Brave attack could be done even if the Axe hit missed.
More emphasis on the increased speed of Straight Arrow. Hard to react fast enough after the arrow is released.

Cecil
Shadow Bringer: Super short range, but fast.

Terra
Ultima: downward wall rush.

Squall
Fated/Aerial Circle: Increased Absorb effect.

Shantotto
Retribution: cause guard stagger (Melee Mid priority)
Stun: CPU have done Stun>Retribution combo. (But the reporter said that it seems to be avoidable if you spam dodge fast enough)

CoD
Wide Angle Particle Beam: goes further, in high speed. Can go to the air.

Golbez
Sector Ray: has both ground and air versions.

Exdeath
Almagest: Added Magic Block effect and cancel-able during startup.

Kefka
Forsaken: Kefka can move during the attack.

Sephiroth
刹那 (Moment/Instant): short range, somehow similar to WoL's Dayflash
Heartless Angel: Increased after lag if the move is canceled.
Scintilla: Increased Block duration. Almost like Shield of Light?

Kuja
Seraphic Star: keep chasing the enemy even after the hit box appeared. Hard to dodge.

[Tobi]

Saw this on about 3 different JP sites

First we see Cosmos looking downward. Then warriors of Cosmos gather, Lightning speaks about the crystals: "That power given to us by Cosmos will turn into crystals, Then we should be able to return to our worlds." Light gathers in her hand.
Kain & Golbez talk. Kain: "If Chaos wins, this world will be destroyed." Gobez: "It won't. Everything will repeat itself countless times."
Laguna & Squall. Laguna: "You're taciturn as ever." Squall: "We're on a battlefield. There's no time for idle talk."
WoL & Butz. Butz: "What if we all came up with a name to call you by?"
Frionil & Lightning. Light: "I sense something from this rose of yours." Frio: "You too?"
Sephiroth & Tifa. Sephiroth: "I've been looking for you." Tifa: "Who are you?" Sephiroth: "Your enemy. You needn't know more." Tifa: "A warrior of Chaos then, huh?" Sephiroth advances at her with Masamune, but Cloud appears behind him yelling "Stop!".
Tina to Vaan: "Defeat me... I don't want to use the power of destruction anymore."
Onion & Vaan sitting on board the Phantom Train. Vaan: "Has something happened lately?". Onion hangs his head.
Then a beautiful pre-rendered fast-paced battle between Tifa and Sephirot, other warriors of Cosmos and Chaos. Finally Yuna is shown walking barefoot on water (though only her feet and kimono can be seen).

[Elcura]

I get the feeling XI's rep will be someone who uses darkness. There's a nice parallel between XI and XII, where gabranth used black hole and shantoto used a light magic burst. Now that vaan uses luminescense, there should be someone who can use a dark magic burst.

[Insanecyclone]

Saw this on about 3 different JP sites

Love me some Yuna. Now add Ashe to the game too.

[Alkar]

I want to see that trailer lol. Even though Yuna is pretty much confirmed I still wanna see with my own eyes.
I wonder how they implemented her summons.
I've also read reports of Gilgamesh appearing as a summon in the new demo with an artwork from FFXII. I suppose that means he won't be playable.
