Final Fantasy: Dissidia Announced - Page 13

Why does the last picture that SorceressEdea posted remind me of bondage O_O it looks as if Ultimecia has Squall tied up ...

But anywho: meh, the graphics may look shiny, but it's not enough for me to buy the game, or a PSP.

I'm sorry, but she looks terrible. The hair, the face...I liked her old design but the new one fails IMHO.

Slow on the uptake, are we? It's a fighting game, think Ehrgeiz, only less crappy and with all FF characters.

The fighting system itself has a peculiar twist that we're going to have to try out a bit more before proclaiming our undying love. You have two attack buttons, both of which are used with analog stick combinations to unleash an array of moves on your opponent. Attacks performed with the square button steal your opponent's attack power (called "Brave" in the game). Attacks performed with the circle button use the stolen brave to unleash physical blows that drain HP.

Now, I may just be pessimistic, but gathering from that and that pic I posted of the control scheme that says "it is critical to store BP to determine win-lose", it looks to me like this Brave Point system is going to be a cheap way to win against the AI. I don't like fighting games with cheap tricks to exploit, I'd rather have a challenging fighter that takes skill to play.

What do you mean??? That IS her old design. there are only minor changes made to her.

Old design being what she looked like as Edea:

I like that much better, she doesn't look like some scary dominatrix about to gore you with her hair horns

However, you're right, her Ultimecia form is pretty much the same. The hair looks...off...though. I can't pinpoint it, just seems too colorful or something.

O.o
But they are two totally different people. Edea wasn't one of her "forms" Ultimecia is the Sorceress from the future. Edea was a sorceress she posessed, but Edea wasnt on of her forms... but we are way offtopic so I'm gonna stop lol Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing Ultimecia and Squall in this. I was dissapointed that Ultimecia wasn't given very much screentime in Final Fantasy VIII so it is nice to see her in another game.

Aye, I know *shamed* I tend to confuse the two and I always think of Edea when I think of Ultemecia. It's been a while since I've played the game too, so I guess that's why...looks like a reply is in order now so I won't get even more confused xD

I'm still wondering just how they can fit her into the game, since she's a sorceress and whatnot...then again, if they can stick a mage like Kuja in it they can stick Ultimecia in it too. Not like it'll involve much anyway, all you gotta do is drain your opponents' BP and attack away. I dunno, MAYBE it won't be the cheap scheme it looks like and they'll throw in handicaps or something...I'm just tired of seeing mediocre spin-offs of the series.

Have I ever mentioned how much I utterly detest Nomura and want him to die?

Why is Kuja's hair stuck to his face like veins? And WTFH has he done to Emperor Paramecia?! He looks nothing like any of his three previous incarnations!

Ugh, wtf! >__< Why couldn't he have at least kept Paramecia like in the last pic? He kept Firion intact for Christ's sake, but Paramecia just looks like a disease-ridden drag queen now.
