Dissidia Thread

It's similar to versus, but just different enough that the differences can cause a gulf in enjoyment. I like both but once you get into the real grit of the mechanics they couldn't be more different in approach.

>>389027238
Even as far as face value is concerned the tiny things, movement, methods of attack, reliance on teammates, and the bottom line information I have to be able to process is all completely different.

Then there's the surface stuff. I watched 3 and a half series and a movie of Gundam where as I've played every final fantasy. So the difference in attachment is an amazing stonewalling barrier

>>389027492
Surprisingly Gundam is the one with deeper individual mechanics. Even with the customization in arcade for Dissidia the tools available to a single unit in Versus is wider.

Dissidia, imo, has a better team game.

>>389027013
Luckily for me I like both.

>>389027930
Once the full release hits the states I'll give it another honest try, after all a few of my mates swear by it.

>We could've gotten a sequel to Duodecim, with more characters, game modes, refined mechanics and 4k graphics
>instead we got this 3v3 only mess, with a HUD covering half the screen, no assists, no ex mode, no customizable equipment or skills
The only good thing about NT are the summons, everything else just hurts to look at

>>389028294
So where'd you get this bait from?

>>389028375
His ass probably.

>>389028294
>we could've gotten a sequel to duodecim
Never would this have ever happened.

>>389028375
>>389028426
I poured 500+ hours on the psp games and loved every single one of them. I'm just very disappointed in what NT turned out to be compared to 012.
Perhaps I'm the minority, but I would've preferred something more similiar to the older games

>>389028676
Let's be real. There's nothing they could have done to refine Exdeath simulator.

>>389028534
>first game is 1v1, backdrop is one big team vs another, many cutscenes with group encounters but those fights still only 1v1
>second game is 1v1 with often present assists (to put it lightly) and some party mechanics where you make teams and do elimination or round robin fights, taking a step towards being more team based
>this game is 3v3, fully realising the team mechanics with the added power from being on console
Technically it did.

>>389028952
I guess. But unlike duodecim this game has a chance of doing well to people that aren't just diehard final fantasy fans.

>>389029017
That'd be pretty cool then. The previous games being on the PSP didn't help much despite how good they were.

How you gonna charge your saiyan form when you're getting gang raped

>>389032030
gratzo on letting your team down!

Are they ever gonna fix summons so its not 99% Naked Ice Woman

>>389032332
Only way they could do that is taking away the summon modifiers.

>>389032187
by making a build where I get shittons of ex essence by bullying people with my bump long stick and spinning my cool cloak

>>389032406
>making a build
Oh boy do I have bad news for you.
Customization (for the most part) is out excluding the single (for most characters) HP skill you can equip.

Teamwork is WAY the fuck up. This is a team game through and through

>>389032468
that's what I feared
so they removed the rpg elements (out of a fucking ff game) in order to make it an arcade, penny sink
this made me sad

>>389032651
It makes me a little bit said, but I still played duodecim until a year ago. I'd say I got my fun out of it. Less so when towards the end people stopped playing competitively.

Still, who knows what the home release will be like for it's single player

>>389032651
Lmao penny sink okay.

>>389032729
>who knows what the home release will be like
Certainly not anyone who assumes the Closed Beta thats an awkward mash of recent balance and the launch roster is the final game.

>>389032651
Arcade lets you build a custom load out of any hp attack available to that character and ex skills. I don't know what the fuck you're even on about.

>>389032821
Closed beta was just a cut of the arcade version as it was when it launched in the arcades, but with (most) of the updates to character balancing.

Given that they stated the home version will be different through and through, I can't even begin to muse

>>389032853
Don't be obstinate anon, he's talking about being able to customize every attack, summon, skill, equipment, etc.

>>389027013
The game is pretty shallow. I prefer the original where you can customise all of your moves.
One bravery attack and 2 normals gets pretty dry pretty quick.

>>389032904
Weren't some Brv attacks clearly better in Duodecim anyway?

>>389032904
No equipment is a good thing, at least for multiplayer. Everyone should be on equal ground.

>>389032973
>>389032994
Yes. Oh don't get it twisted, duodecim was fucking broken as shit. The illusion of choice WAS there, but like you're never tanking Red Fang on WoL in duodecim ever never. Ever.

>>389032972
I would agree but the teamwork function is on point

>>389032853
I loved the feeling of progression
of course every character at max level will be the same
but being a little slow shit, then improving the character over and over to the point where you're sanic able to jump 10 times is fun

and while pointless, I loved to hunt for unique weapons

>>389033072
But now we actually have different weapons they just don't affect stats.

>when this shit happens
I didn't mean to say thank you. I meant to say sorry. When I play WoL I feel like all deaths my team mates take are MY fault

>think the beta will stop me from spending money at the arcade
>it doesn't

Guys, the full game is better. The beta is blasphemy.

>>389033262
>beta is blasphemy
>it's just the launch roster with all the current balance updates, levels, and songs

Same game, less content because it's a beta.

>>389033262
The beta has wet my whistle. I also learned something about myself.

While I like playing Onion Knight a shit ton for the ability to constantly swap my job in a fight and throw my enemies in a loop i.e; (when an y'shtola thinks you're still a sage and tries to magic duel you only for you to go punch her face in)
But I really, REALLY like Shantotto because she reminds me the most of Emperor.

I hope Emperor is cool as fuck still. Double bomb electric trap was my fucking shit.

>>389033405
Trust me. Emperor is amazing.

I hope Ace is as easy and super strong as he looks. I don't see why anyone plays any other Marksmen.

Wonder how Ramza plays. What with him about to pop up in ffxiv and all

>>389034868
Lamely.

>>389035008
I figured as much when I saw his rock toss

how is cecil in this game and rydia and queen when

>>389034346
What do you mean?

>>389035063
He ain't got no zone control that anybody has to respect.

>>389028294
I haven't looked at any gameplay of NT
Seems I shouldn't.
I probably poured like 600 hours into duodecim and a good 300 into the first one.

>>389035153
What about Towe Laser and those card tower things he can throw down?

>>389035203
it's like this, if you've played duodecim competitively you'll probably like every change. However if you only played it offline than you'll probably feel alienated.

>Jecht's theme is Overworld
>Isnt remixed at all
I guess they dont bite the hand that feeds them

>>389035361
More like it was perfect the first time around so there's no need to fuck with it

>>389035361

You gotta charge your super saiyan aura first for that to happen. AIn't nobody got time for that shit

>>389037174
What even happened? Did you get raped by two enemies? How? What were your teammates doing?

>>389037307
They Chaos and Cosmos, so no. Just it's magic versus technology now with Spiritus and Materia, which doesn't make sense since materia was magic too.

>>389037174
This is me but with Zidane.

>>389038128
Me and another Squall were hit by Cross Slash at the same time. He tried to help at least.

>that feel when the game releases and all you see online are Cloud, Sephiroth, Squall, and Lightning

>>389039563
Judging by Platinum + ranks it'll only be them up to Gold then split into a wide variety.

>>389039563
Why are Sephiroth and Cloud so good? Is it a heavy class thing?

>Haven't won since reaching Gold B
I think I should just quit.

>>389039872
>good

It's edge.

>>389040418
Gotta into teamwork. Watch footage of one group of japanese players and you'll understand everything you need to succeed.

>>389040418
>win 10 games in a row
>lose 10 games in a row

I have my ups and downs.

>>389040521
It's not that I don't know how to help my teammates and be wary of the other team, it's that I can't. I'm really bad at locking on for some reason and being a Zidane main I find myself whiffing a lot of attacks due to the short range.

>>389040736
My win ratio may as well be a coin flip

>Play Gundam
>Start attacking when I meant to switch targets or jump
>Play Dissidia
>Attack when I mean to boost or switch targets
Don't play these back to back.
