Final Fantasy Dissidia

[Nauren]

Its a Final Fantasy game, but not a FFXIII spinoff...so we shall see.

· 'Dissidia' is indeed Final Fantasy title, but not a Final Fantasy XIII spin-off as rumors suggested.

· Tetsuya Nomura is in charge of Character Design.


Rumors claim this game is to be released for the Sony PSP, but this still has no confirmation.

Official Site

Square-Enix has just released the teaser site for Dissidia -Final Fantasy-.

It will be released for the PlayStation Portable, and the genre is listed as "Dramatic Progressive Action", and will have characters designed by Tetsuya Nomura. Dissidia is Latin for "To Dissagree", however, it does not appear to be part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis project. The characters in the logo bear an uncanny resemblance to Princess Sara and Chaos, from the original Final Fantasy.

Confirmed Characters

Zidane (Final Fantasy IX)
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
Kuja (Final Fantasy IX)
Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy I)
Garland (Final Fantasy I)
Cosmos (God of Light - On Logo)
Chaos (God of Darkness - On Logo)
Squall (Final Fantasy VIII)
Ultimecia (Final Fantasy VIII)
Tidus (Final Fantasy X)
Jecht (Final Fantasy X)


- Max character level is 100.
- Each character has a unique skill.
- During the battle you'll be able to pick up treasure chests.
- Nomura said there won't be more than 20 characters, but stated there might be suprises. We are guessing there will be secret unlockable characters.
- The game will have Gil and AP, however their use is a secret for now.
- Game is 50% complete, they are done with the characters.
- Final Fantasy series characters battle on a 3D field. The genre is fighting competition action (?).

- Warrior of light from FF1, Zidane from FF9 will participate
- Garland and Kuja are also confirmed
- Character designs by Nomura.












Only 20% of the game has been shown...many elements have not been shown'

-Jecht was chosen over Seymour due to Seymour being a mid boss....would also have to add Yuna if they added Seymour

-Certain storyline will be elaborated on from the original games (i.e. find out more about Tidus and Jecht that FFX didn't tell us)

-Not all parts of the FF storylines will be followed 100%

-Choose who your opponents are...upsets can happen even with a 60 level difference. Choice is very important

-Getting to level 100 will feel like your just getting started

-Script is as long as Crisis Core's

QTF @ Jecht.

Where's my FFVI love? ; ;



Also, Firion and Emperor Palamecia from Final Fantasy II are now confirmed.

Seriously, there better be FFVI characters in this or I'm gonna be fucking pissed.

Looks amazing.

YES.

The only problem is that there were so many memorable characters from FF6... when you really get down to it, there are still maybe 6 or 8 characters that would make great additions, including:

• Terra,
  
• Locke,
  
• Celes,
  
• Sabin,
  
• Edgar,
  
• Cyan,
  
• And, of course, Kefka.
  

...Kefka's "ultimate final attack" could be poisoning a player's water supply and laughing maniacally?

Admittedly, only the first two have any real chance of showing up... but it's easily one of the best games in the series. It would be a true shame if none of the characters were represented.

Keep in mind Setzer showed up in Kingdom Hearts. I think they picked him because he looks like Sephiroth. I've no idea what their strategy for utilizing FFVI characters might be, or even if they're going to bother. Obviously it's in their best interest to push the PS2 characters as gamers are more familiar with them.

Terra had the lead, then turned it over to Locke, who turned it over to Celes, and Edgar played a big role most of the time as well. We'll see, hopefully soon, who they pick.

Fixed! Obviously that's subjective, but it's my favorite game of all-time. When I played through FFVI Advance (I scheduled the day off work for the release), I got chills so many times as I played along, watching the different cut scenes.

I don't want FFVI to get some low budget DS remake, like IV. It could be so fucking epic if redone utilizing all of today's technology. I can't even imagine the potential awesomeness. I'd probably take sick leave!

I just looked at the site: www.square-enix.co.jp/dissidia/

It looks like they're picking a rivalry from each game. Probably the biggest one in FFVI that would actually make sense is Celes and Kefka. They were both generals (along with Leo) under Emperor Gestahl, and could have had their disagreements in the past, prior to the series. As far as we know, Celes is the only Returner who knew Kefka prior to the Returners being assembled.

But they could make a Kefka rivalry possible with a lot of the other characters as well.

Terra: she was brainwashed, so she could have escaped or something along the way. They can do anything with her past, as she was kidnapped as a baby.
Locke: they could make it that Kefka killed Rachel, that'd piss him off
Edgar: As a kingdom ruler, he certainly had his share of run-ins with the Emperor in the past
Sabin: Similar to Edgar
Cyan: He would look fucking awesome in today's CG, and could have fought against Kefka in the past, as he was 55 years old IIRC
Setzer: He's been around as well, Kefka kills Daryl?
Shadow: Mysterious past, secret identity, they can do anything with him
Strago: Dude was like 80, so he's not very marketable
Relm: Too young, although a rivalry with Ultros would be entertaining
Umaro: lol
Gogo: lol
Mog: no
Gau: omg no

Onion Knight = Meh.

Kefka, on the other hand, should be pretty freaking amazing.

*Dissidia may cover FFXI and FFXII*

If you extract the character flashpage named "chara.swf" off the official Dissidia website, and use a Flash Decompiler to analyze these files, you can find the code of the "Wheel" animation of the character page. Within that code, there are frames labelled "ff11" and "ff12". Screenshot of the SWF code:

dissidia-france.com/img/Dissi..._11_and_12.jpg

I know this sounds sloppy, but please try it if you want, it's true. I think this confirms that FFXI and XII characters were at least planned at some point, even if they end up scrapping them in the final version of the game or something (I think I remember reading that there will only be 10 characters, then again I also read that there would be 13 "worlds").

[lockejv]

- did they really need to add a Taru?

[Jonathan]

that looks like Minstrel's Coat/Bard

[Nauren]

yup thats Shantoto.

[Markus]

Vulcan's Staff and a Seer's Tunic kinda... Or the other one, jutsa w/e...
