Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy

[solracht]

Don't you get a bunch of accessories and equipment like the Coliseum mode did? I'm not sure of what exactly you get to keep though, where's the catch?

You only keep items with the cottage icon, which there aren't many of. You don't keep any accessory, because as far as I know there are no accessories with this icon.

This is partially why I complained about the Labyrinth a few pages back. I'm afraid this game is not going to entertain me for as long as the first one did because the single-player mode is not really rewarding at all.

I don't even want to reenter the labyrinth with the cottage gear I have in case I have an unlucky fight and lose it.

[Ifandbut]

I'd rather have them make an online mode without the use of AdHoc.

Tried getting AdHoc party working for about 2 hrs today. I was able to get in the lobby and see my friend in Dissidia just fine but he was unable to see me at all. Tried everything I could think of, changing hosts, double checking network settings. Only thing I did not try was port forwarding because the only info I could find had a list of 10 or so ports and I just dont have room in my router config for all that.

Why did Pinhole Gallery have 15 rooms, oh god make this end.

Rage of Conflict comes from the end of that cloister. I have seen a lower level "of Conflict" item at the end of different cloister, so I assume the Conflict items come from the last room of a Cloister (if there's an exit point). However some cloisters don't have Conflict items, instead they have uber accessories (that you of course can't take out).

The Conflict items are the items used to make most if not all of the crafted cottage gear (the gear that you can actually take out of the labyrinth), by the way.

This mode is getting old really quickly, there's just too much menu interaction. The first few runs it's fine, but when you're doing your 10th+ Labyrinth run, having to constantly go to the menu to configure accessories, sell items, buy items, look through the Shop to see if you can make stuff, etc. really starts to tire you out.

On the bright side I managed to spawn a cottage from a 20+ room run at the start of one of the my new cloisters... maybe I'll get somewhere.

They made Kefka more hilarious in this game than the previous... didn't think it was possible. Lost my shit when he made fun of Kuja's thong in the report story. XD

[Treble]

What weapon did they use for Prishe's ultimate unique weapon?

Koenigs Knuckles: Level 30
Assist Gauge Duration +10%

Spharai: Level 90
Assist Gauge Duration +20%

Glanzfaust: Level 100
Assist Gauge Duration +30%
Slight Counterattack effect

The hell... Spharai > Glanz, PLUS, Spharai had the counter+ -_-

So I've been playing this a good deal. Kefka's Maniken voice is still as annoying as ever. I want to stick needles in my ears whenever I play with my headphones on. The soundtrack is too great to not play with them though.

I thought Lightning's voice sounded familiar. I knew it from somewhere, couldn't put my finger on it. Then I was playing ME2 earlier. Liara shows up and BAM. I was like, oh. Duh. Lightning is still as boring and idiotic as she was in XIII though.

[Meian]

Counterattack effect? What lol

Also, I noticed most of my Ex particle absorb/duration equips are either gone completely or changed in 012. Annoying :\

You know the same chick (Ali Hillis) did Lightning in XIII too, right...?

[Corrderio]

Slight derail, but if I use X-Link Kai can I play with people using PS3 Ad-Hoc? Or would they have to use X-Link Kai as well?

[Kiarax]

Separate services, so no you can't play with people using the other.

[Corrderio]

Lame.

[Odesseiron]

Yeah. I guess I just never noticed it. I really despised FFXIII with all my heart. I think I wiped all of it from my memory. (or want to anyway!)

[Charismatic]

At least remember the black dude, he was cool.

vivi wasn't black....

Edit: yes i know your on about Sazh before someone gets bent out of shape

[Elcura]

I liked Lightning, endgame Lightning more than beginning though, same with Hope. Sazh was always awesome. Dissidia Lightning is pretty similar to early XIII Lightning, she's a little boring and doesn't have a lot else to play on in Dissidia unlike XIII. I haven't tried Kain or Tifa yet, but so far Lightning's my favourite of the new-comers, with Vaan and Yuna close behind. Laguna is balls though, holy shit he's terrible so far. But I hated Firion until Shield Bash, so we'll see.

So far, I like Duodecim's story a lot more, I just think SE is better with prequels in general (Crisis Core and Birth by Sleep come to mind).

[Charismatic]

Lightning? Bleh... only thing I like about her is fighting the CPU version of her 'cause every round is like a fight and a volleyball match in one.
Tifa's great though, those feints make landing HP attacks a lot easier without even worrying about using an assist charge.


And Yuna... wow, Thor's Hammer. I just love that move.

[Elcura]

Most of Yuna's moves are really good, the only one I don't like is aerial Shiva, the range is short as hell, but it comes out really fast and catches people by surprise. Once I learn the range though it'll be brutal.

Lightning has a good arsenal of attacks, fast ones, good range/cover, decent priorities and properties... I like her. Want to see what she's like end game though.

And... did they make Kuja even better in this one? Force Symphony is great and Seraphic Star got shit loads better.

[Niiro]

Crisis Core

better

I would love if they made a PS3 version of this game. It can't be that hard. The groundwork is already laid out, the content is there to justify it as a full priced game. I guess it would be a lot of money to produce? And I think there's a ton more PS3 owners than PSP.

I haven't bought either Dissidia simply because after I played the demo for the original for about 15 mins my hands ached and the controls were frustrating as fuck.

Seriously, just make PSP games playable on PS3. Handheld consoles aren't a perk, they're a convenience for when you want to play somewhere not at home. If I want to play the game at home why should I have to use a tiny screen and arthritis inducing controls.

[Elcura]

Hi, my name is out of context, how you doing?

No points for trying either.

Are you sure you just don't suck at the game?
