2 New Dissidia Scans

[Dionysos]

I agree 100% that Terra's alternate costume MUST be her green hair! I'll be sad if it isn't... But that won't stop me from buying the game (but only just!).

Clouds AC uniform I guess could work for Clouds alternate costume. Will be easier than making it Zack as they'd have to grab another voice actor if they were going to make Clouds alternate costume Zack.

 

[Dark Paladin Danny]

And alt characters as alt cossies would mess up the story

 

[V_Translanka]

I think more important that alternate costumes is their EX Modes...Terra's should be awesome. Speaking of her though, personally, I don't care about the green hair...Green hair goes to the awesome Rydia. Terra inherits that blonde hair from her mom, after all! It makes her seem kind of plain & unobtrusive when she's really a powerhouse waiting to be unleashed. The green hair makes her stand out too much...it's to obviously "hey! look at me! i'm a unique character with strange colored hair!" She doesn't need that. What if her alternate costume was her in Magitek Armor!?! lol

I really like the white-hair on Cloud too.

 

[Johansenburg]

I can't wait for this game. I only just recently heard about it, but I am excited. I am with most others who think that Terra's alt costume should be her green hair. I like the look more. Also, for Cloud's alt, I would like to see the Shinra Soldier uniforms members of SOLDIER have to wear until they reach Class 1 (or 2, don't remember which). You know, the blue jumpsuit with the helmet, though the helmet could be omitted.

I guess. but the green hair look is what I grew up with. It made her look exotic. I guess you're right that she perhaps stood out a little bit but to be honest she always did in that game. From the word go she was frying troopers, shocking everyone with her power. The blonde hair I guess is a good contrast to her powerful extraordinary side, but the the green look is really awesome as well, and I hope for that as the alternate costume...

Also it's a very different look to Rydia. Rydia's green hair is a deep green, a proper green. Terra's is more of an aqua, which looks really awesome in contrast to her red clothes... This look makes her look outstanding. Such colour! But I'll settle with the blonde hair if we're doomed not to get her green hair!

Not sure about the Magitek armour. It would look cool and everything, but it'll need a whole new moveset.

If however... they were to add vehicles? WOW! Would that be awesome! Magitek armour for Terra... Boko for Bartz! Motorbike for Cloud! Not likely though.

I really like the white-hair on Cloud too.

Is this the white haired Cloud from Amano's artwork? If it is then it will be very interesting to see the Amano look for Cloud as an alternate costume.

 

[Rukai]

After seeing this Image my opinion about Terra's hair totally change, she looks extremely pretty with blonde hair.

Magitek Armour? lol your kidding right? she would have to change her moveset and that would be considered has a new character, same with Cloud.
If his Alternative costume were Zack, every attack had to be the same as Cloud and so his VA. And Cloud is supposed to be FFVII Main character not Zack... but then again there is Luneth witch nullifies everything i said above.

And why there are Summons in Dissidia, and how role they play?

Summons

Summons have been confirmed to appear in Dissidia. Currently known Summons include:

• Ifrit
• Typhoon

"Taken from: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dissidia_-Final_Fantasy-"

 

[Dionysos]

Nice find Ruka!

Yeah Terra looks ace in that picture, as did she also in the artwork picture.
Still prefer the green hair, but I really like the blonde look too.
And... Her costume in that picture... Is almost spot on! She looks fantastic!

Hmm. Interesting to hear that summons will be in the game. Wonder how they will work, and when they will work... Who will summon them? Terra would make sense, but if that is true then she will be THE super-uber-mega character to play! She will own EVERYBODY if she both morphs into Esper-Terra AND summons!

EDIT - Just checked out the wikia... Terra uses Typhoon and can also morph into her esper form...

Isn't the Final Fantasy 6 Typhoon also called Mr.Chupon? If so.... Possible inclusion of Ultros?! Perhaps as a NPC in cutscenes or something? Gah... Dreaming!

 

[Rukai]

There is also this two

Yeah, she could summon them in her Esper form, and what kinda weapons will she use?

It also mentions Bartz is a Mimic/Blue Mage, he imitates the characters he fights... kinda weird huh?

Nice pictures.. Love the details! From precious stones in Sephiroths shoulderpad to the happy monster face on Warrior of Lights shoulder pad!


Terra will probably use a sword of some kind I'm guessing. A normal average sword, nothing too heavy. Light, powerful and efficient.

Bartz as a Mimic/Blue Mage? Wow! That will be an interesting way to play.. Glad they went for that actually as having a normal fighter would have been pretty dull.

 

[Rukai]

Remember, Terra is mainly a spell caster. Has she is manipulated because of her Unique ability from casting Magic. It could also be possible if she uses the laser-like Ultima Weapon has its a unique weapon only in FFVI. it might be a mix of both spell casting and swordfight.

Bartz would probably learn the abilities of others and either "store them" so he can use in any battle, or mimic the attacks of the opponent, which would probably suck, if it is that way.

 

[Dionysos]

I think it's more likely the former than the latter with Bartz. They can't make it so that he can only mimic the other person, as the battle wouldn't work and you wouldn't be controlling him at all. But I can imagine a store system..

Perhaps if the enemy does a special move then Bartz "learns" that move and that becomes his own special move.

Yes Terra will need a large amount of spell-casting, with a fair share of sword slashing. Will be hard to pull off, and I'm really looking forward to how they tackle her. Perhaps that funky Ultima Weapon sword will do her justice. Though I can't remember that weapon myself in that game.

 

[Rukai]

Yup, thats what i think too, lets say Terra casts "Flare/Ultima/Meteor" he learns the move and can either cast it right away or his Ex-Mode is Blue Mage/Mimic, where he can choose one/multiple spells to cast at once, or something like that.

The sword in FFVI is know has "Atma Weapon" but in FFVI Advance its renamed as Ultima Weapon, its an Laser Sword that increases attacks has more HP you have, even if still you don't remember the weapon check here:http://www.spriters-resource.com/squenix/finalfantasy/6/lockesweapons.png
Its the Blue Laser weapon, third one counting from up.

Ah yes I think I remember that, it's sort of like a light-saber, been a while though. Well.. that will be an interesting sword for Terra to equip. Not sure if they'll go for it though and they'll probably go for an average sword, but that weapon would be good to see.

Hmmm.. I want to know EVERYTHING about this game now... The wait is unbearable. Still, good that everything and good information is coming out fast now though.

Another scan showing Sephiroth and Cloud.

Just noticed Sephiroth casting Super Nova on the Scan. Take a close look at his right shoulder, we can also now see that his EX Burst form is the One Winged Angel.

New scan showing Kefka and Terra EX Modes and Kefka's deadly EX Burst attack. ;D

New Summons confirmed:

• Barbariccia
• Bomb
• Cactuar
• Carbuncle
• Ifrit
• Leviathan
• Typhoon

 

[Dionysos]

Ruka! You nearly caused me a heartattack of excitement! Good to see some new Dissidia news!

Barbariccia as a summon? That would be rather interesting. I wonder if they'll give us any more of the 4 feinds of the elements.. Cagnazzo perhaps. Rubicante would be good too... Gah screw it, they should give us all 4!

Amazing scans too. Terra and Kefka look AMAZING in battle. I'll be interested to find out what area they are fighting in, though I've heard confirmation that it is either the Magitek Research Facility, or Kefka's Tower.

I see the 3rd scan shows FF1 characters Ex-Modes. Garland donning a white cape (I think such was seen int he gameplay video as well) and Warrior of Light getting a gold sheild and more ornate armour.

Only about a month until it comes out in Japan... so not long to wait to get all final announcements!


EDIT - Just looked over it again... Some nice shots of the characters during cutscenes as well... Dark Knight Cecil with his arm out and back to Golbez (so not fighting him)... Would this mean that at the begining Dark Knight Cecil will be on the side of bad? Or perhaps not, and perhaps he's just preventing someone else from hurting his brother.

The shot with Terra and Onion Knight is great too. Sort of suggests and idea someone else had on this forum that she's grow fond of Onion Knight in a motherly way.


EDIT (AGAIN!) - Just checked the website of Dissidia... Terra and Kefka are now up ont he character pages... Including some pretty awesome screenshots I haven't seen before. A few close ups of Kefka's face, and one awesome one with Terra in the foreground with Kefka suprising her behind her.

WOW! ALSO! The TGS 2008 trailer is up on there!

Yeah I agree the 4 would be awesome, altought I'm still kinda mad Gilgamesh is a summon not a Playable character. :stare:

Amazing scans too. Terra and Kefka look AMAZING in battle. I'll be interested to find out what area they are fighting in, though I've heard confirmation that it is either the Magitek Research Facility, or Kefka's Tower.

It looks like Magitech Research Facility, but you can also see the Esper Cave in the first trailer, maybe there is a Arena per character?

Maybe both?
He probably is protecing his brother, and wants to settle things with him finally.

I already know that. There is already a thread with the TGS Trailer.

Kinda remembered, each character was summoned here but they all have a story on how they get here, Tidus mentions he was summoned here while he was "Absorbed" by Sin, maybe Golbez and Cecil were summoned when Golbez decided to leave.

 

[Dionysos]

I already know that. There is already a thread with the TGS Trailer. .

What?! No way! That must have happened while I was out the country for a few days... Theres no way I would have missed that otherwise... (Checks now).

Yeah I'm very interested in at excactly what point the characters were sucked from their respective games and into the land of the gods or whatever...

If Tidus came before he was absorbed by sin, does that mean before he even enters Spira? Like after Auron grabs him from Zanarkand and he is absorbed into Sin to begin his story?

altought I'm still kinda mad Gilgamesh is a summon not a Playable character.

Me too... Though they seem to have taken his name off the summons list on final fantasy wikia, so perhaps whether he is a summon or not is called into question... Could be bad if he's not even in it at all, but then again they haven't ruled out secret characters yet (unless my ahort trip abroad REALLY put me behind in the Dissidia news chase), so perhaps Gilgamesh could appear as a playable character after all? He's certainly iconic enough. But that is for dreaming...

About the 4 fiends, they coudl easily put all 4 in the game. They're to have 50 summons anyway, so it's not like it's taking a huge chunk out of available spaces for summons.

 

[Rukai]

Only yesterday.

Same, I want to find out especially how Cloud and Sephiroth were both summoned here, they will surely have their Intro's, and that means we can see it on Youtube.

If Tidus came before he was absorbed by sin, does that mean before he even enters Spira? Like after Auron grabs him from Zanarkand and he is absorbed into Sin to begin his story?

Exactly, instead of being summoned to Spira he appeared here, I wonder If Jecht was the same. Like he said to Jecht: "you tricked me" like instead of living his story he was summoned into a conflict between Gods.

That might be it, I hope Gilgamesh appears as a secret character, FF isn't the same without him. And speaking of which I'm sure you would love Uncle Ulty to be a Summon.

About the 4 fiends, they coudl easily put all 4 in the game. They're to have 50 summons anyway, so it's not like it's taking a huge chunk out of available spaces for summons.

Yeah, however summons aren't much worth I guess... unless there is a summon which can be very powerful/useful, not "support items".

 

[Dionysos]

Only yesterday.

So I see! How did I miss it! Oh well.. I've seen it now!

Same, I want to find out especially how Cloud and Sephiroth were both summoned here, they will surely have their Intro's, and that means we can see it on Youtube.

When we can see it on youtube, let me know! I dunno at what point they'd be summoned to Dissidia's coflict... The arena we've seen is the part down near the core of the planet where you fight Jenova Synthesis (I think?). So I'm guessing they're teleported from the end of the game just before Cloud hack-smashes Sephiroth to peices with Omnislash.

And speaking of which I'm sure you would love Uncle Ulty to be a Summon.

Ultros deserves more than the summon treatment! He should be a playable character! Tentacle attacks etc, could be fun! They should have a whole chapter dedicated to him! But such will probably never happen... I'd settle with a summon, and then he can join his friend "Mr. Chupon" (Typhon) in summoning bliss.

Yeah, however summons aren't much worth I guess... unless there is a summon which can be very powerful/useful, not "support items".

Yeah, I wish summons were more than just stat boosters and flashy pictures. But I guess as they're just an added bonus that they recently anounced only a month ago, and not an integral part of the game, we can forgive them and just enjoy them as an added extra... Like I'll probably only enjoy them for references to other characters more than anything.

Sure thing, I will post here and might as well drop you a PM
Yeah, its definetively Northern Cavern, and its the platform were you fight Jenoba Synthesis like you said. After Cloud beat Jenova the Lifestream might have drown them both or something.

He is famous for his Ink attacks and Tentacles, but he doen't have many attacks or EX Mode, unless he Summoned Chupon to his side.

Same here, I hope some summons are more than flashy pics and stats adds. Summons were always a great force in Final Fantasy, they are exactly like FF Tactics and Tactics advance.

I would like if they were summoned to your side like a NPC and would beat tha heck out of your opponents then leave with a Finish Move.
