It's a dissaffected youth thing. Like multimillionaire emo rock bands singing about how terrible their lives are.

Good evening folks, I'm just here to drop off the full reveals for Cefka and Tina.

Spoiler:

As expected, their "limit break" (the term used in Dissidia escapes me at the moment) are their alternate forms.

Spoiler:

And here's some more story/gameplay screens, and what looks like summons in the bottom left.

Spoiler:

Lots of nice info from the scans!

Quote:

Here are some highlights:

- Main menu options include: Story Mode, Quick Battle, Multiplayer Mode, PP Catalog, Museum, Player Data Settings, and Options.

- Story Mode is the game's main campaign mode, Quick Battle allows you to pick a character and play non-story battles like a fighting game. You can use data from the Story Mode in Quick Battle.

- Multiplayer Mode allows two players to challenge each other over ad-hoc. PP Catalog allows you to unlock Alternate Costumes and Battle BGMs by spending PP that you gain in Story Mode and Quick Battle mode.

- The Museum allows you to replay movies from the Story Mode that you've seen, as well as tunes you've unlocked in the PP Catalog. Player Data settings allows you to change the player name, and other player settings. The Option menu allows you to change camera settings, and select Data Install options.

- The Data Install feature supports 3 levels of install: 245meg, 373meg, and 528meg. The more you install, the shorter the load times will be.

- You can equip a weapon, a glove, a helm and a piece of armor in the Item menu. Equipment will alter your stats which include HP, CP, Drive, Attack, Defense and Luck.

- CP = Capacity Points. The amount maximum CP you have determines how many and what Abilities you can equip.

- Battlelize (?) is an option in the Customization Menu that displays special conditions or actions in battle whereby if you pull it off you get bonus items and/or materials. Materials can be exchanged in the Shop Menu for Rare Items.

- The Mission Menu in the Customization Menu displays a challenge (like an achievement I suppose, the example given is 'Successfully execute a HP Attack 50 times'). Whenever you complete the Mission, you will be rewarded with a Rare Item, and another Mission will be available.

- There is a Chocobo in the sidescrolling 16-bit window below your stats in the Customization menu. This is a sort of minigame. The Chocobo will scroll along as you complete battles, and it can pick up items along the screen as it passes them as well as provide bonus experience points and so on.

- A new evasive system is also revealed where you can defend against an opponent's EX Burst by tapping O to balance this vertical bar. Not sure how it works exactly, but it seems timing based and can reduce the damage you take from EX Busty attacks significantly.

I am not ashamed to say that Kefka's alternate form makes my pants tight.
The summons don't impress me though. I saw a video of them and they weren't what I was expecting. Instead of the summon popping onto the field and wrecking things left and right, the picture pops up and the player's weapon sparkles with fire or whatever. I didn't notice if the combos that they used were different than normal; that is to say, whether or not the summons give you different abilities rather then just let you do more damage.

Since every character will have alternate costumes, I fully expect one of Cloud's costumes to be a Zack skin. And hopefully one of Terra's will give her green hair. Yes, I know, I love Amano's art, but seeing her with blond hair is strange.

I dunno, recently acquiring a PSP and those pics of Kefka may have sold me on the game.

Dunno if its just me, but when Terra is in Esper form, her eyes look more Amano style than when she is in normal form.

Also I noticed that Terra's Nomura art was slightly modified in this new scan when compared with the older art that was released on TGS. Look at the hair bangs falling near her right eye. Facial shape is a bit different too. And look at where the edge of her chin is near the top of her cloak, both are in different positions.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...i_li/terra.jpg VS http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...li/terra-1.jpg

I wonder why there was a change... Maybe he wanted Terra to look younger? Cause the older image has Terra looking more mature to me.

Only one set of characters left to show off... Figures they save FF7 for last, despite Seph's early trailer appearance.

The Amano similarities seem to be intentional, right down to Butz's anorexic look and Terra/Tina's blonde hair.

Yeah, that was noticed by quite few people. Her updated version actually looks closer to Amano's design though, which is probably why he did that.

Well, this is a pretty neat thing to wake up to. The last two from the regular roster have just shown up in some scans along with a spiffy new trailer. This one gives us a pretty good look at Cosmos and Chaos along with the last four revealed in scans.

Warning: Large Image:

And here's the trailer (looks to be the last or second last one before it's released):
This one is either going to please or enrage the Cefka and Tina fans out there.

New V-Jump Scan, which talks about the EX-burst and Character play-styles:

Jecht: Powerful character in melee. Transform and you become even stronger.

EX burst names

Warrior of Light: Over Soul - combo style attack
Firion: Forbid(?) Blazer - uses all his weapons for a combo attack
Onion Knight: Ninjutsu/Daimahou - Uses Ninjutsu and Daimahou(Great Magic) of the Ninja and Sage jobs.
Cecil: Double Face/Phase - a combo attack of darkness and light.
Bartz: Mahouken Nitouryu Midaregiri(Magic sword double wielding random slash) - combines the powers of his allies into one powerful attack. (He combines everyone's swords.)

Tina(Terra): Riot Sword - Countless blades materialise from her hands to dice up the opponent.
Cloud: Choukyuubushinhazan(Omnislash) - You know what it is and Cloud is wielding Ultima Weapon.
Squall: Renzokuken - yep, press R to trigger for more damage.
Zidane: Reverse Gaia - highspeed combo attack.
Tidus: Ace of the Blitz - like it was back in FFX

Garland: Soul of Chaos - attacks with the giant blade that causes the earth to shudder.
Emperor: Zettai Shihai(Absolute Control) - using his magical artifact he controls his opponents mind.
Cloud of Darkness: Chou Hadou Hou(Super Wave Cannon) - Mega beam that destroys everything and brings despair.
Golbez: Sou Getsu(Twin Moons) - releases the black dragon within him along with an enormous burst of magic.
Exdeath: Uchuu no Housoku ga Midareru!(Throw the laws of the universe into chaos!) - using the void that holds the dimensions to throw the universe into chaos.

Kefka: San Tou Shin (The 3 War Goddesses) - follow the command patterns and press the buttons for power.
Sephiroth: Supernova - the harder you spam O, the more damaging it is.
Ultimecia: Jikan Atsushuku(Time Compression) - yea, you can also trigger this for more damage lol
Kuja: Last Requiem - Trance Kuja combos with powerful magic.
Jecht: King of the Blitz - what kind of killer move does transformed Jecht do!?

Bit of a minor gripe, but I really don't see the need for them to change Terra's name to Tina and the spelling of Kefka's name to Cefca.

At first I wasn't very excited about this game, but for some reason I'm starting to become more interested in it. I'm curious to see how they'll explain why all these characters from different universes are coming together. I heard the word "Crystal" somewhere in the last trailer, so I'm betting that has something to do with it. I just hope it's not something lame like Cosmos and Chaos are having a contest to see who's side is stronger or some other such inane bullshit. Also, I want to see how a storyline for a ~~dramatic progressive action~~ fighting game can be, what was it, four times longer than Crisis Core?

Thanks for the sweet info, Jagged. Looking over that there aren't any real surprises, Kefka got an EX Burst attack based on the goddesses as expected, Sephiroth is basically the same as in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Onion Knight confirmed the belief that he was going to be an aerial fighter, etc...

WolfDemon, IIRC, Kefka and Terra have always been Cefka and Tina in Japan.

Ok here is a better translation of the Character fighting-styles and Ex-Bursts.

Quote:

Fighting styles and Ex-Bursts - Chaos side

andres_el_tiger was kind enough to upload the newest V-Jump scans and post them to ff_compilations. Of particular interest to me are the pages profiling each characters fighting style and Ex-Burst. So I've gone through and translated the ones for our Warriors of Chaos. The Warriors of Cosmos are forth-coming, since I decided to split this up for length.

Garland - While he moves slowly, his attacks are powerful. He overwhelms opponents by transforming his weapon!

Ex-Burst: "Soul of Chaos" - The ground quakes with an intense strike of this massive sword!

~*~

Emperor - With his signature land mines and lightning, he attacks by setting up traps. He is a character that requires a good deal of strategy.

Ex-Burst: "Absolute Rule" - With his demonic powers, he subjugates his opponent's very soul!

~*~

Cloud of Darkness - Her attacks change depending upon their timing. This can be utilized for powerful combos!

Ex-Burst: "Super Wave Canon" - The transcendent power of this canon erases all to leave only despair behind.

~*~

Golbez - His long range and short range attacks are preformed at the same time. It takes a mix of motions to fight skillfully with him.

Ex-Burst: "Twin Moons" - He and the Shadow Dragon wrapped around him fire off a massive magic attack together!

~*~

Ex-Death - He excels at guarding and counter-attacks. Powerful techniques seek out his enemies.

Ex-Burst: "The Laws of the Universe mean Nothing!" - By manipulating the dimension of complete "Void" he throws the entire universe into chaos!

~*~

Kefka - He fights using many types of powerful magic. Special commands can raise his power further!

Ex-Burst: "Warring Triad" - Memorize and repeat the sequence of button commands.

~*~

Sephiroth - An extremely strong fighter who constantly barrages his enemy with his long sword swings. He is also quite swift.

Ex-Burst: "Super Nova" - Hitting the button repeatedly during the time limit will raise its power.

~*~

Ultimecia - She specializes in long range magic attacks. She can release different types in rapid hails of magical bullets.

Ex-Burst: "Time Compression" - Like Squall's Renzokuken, its power is heightened with each pull of the trigger.

~*~

Kuja - He combines speed and magic together. As he flits about, he is constantly casting off spells!

Ex-Burst: "Last Requiem" - Kuja in the midst of Trance, fires off a sequence of powerful magic attacks!

~*~

Jecht - While strong overall, he is best as a close range fighter. His fighting power further increases when transformed!

Ex-Burst: "King of the Blitz" - The transformed Jecht readies a certain kill technique!?

lol at Clouds and Bartz's Bursts.

Quote:

Fighting styles and Ex-Bursts - Cosmos side

And now for our Warriors of Cosmos. Most of these are what we expected, but there are a few surprises....

Warrior of Light - He mainly fights with his sword but can also use his shield as a weapon. Overall, he is the balanced fighter!

Ex-Burst: "Oversoul" - He delivers a series of sword thrusts so fast they look like flickers of light!

~*~

Firion - He is far more suited to battling on the ground rather than the air. He can make full use of his weapons while fighting on the ground.

Ex-Burst: "Fervid Blazer" - He attacks with one weapon after another in sequence to battle with all of them!

~*~

Onion Knight - An exceptionally quick fighter. He avoids enemy attacks to come back with his own.

Ex-Burst: "Ninjutsu/Great Magic" - As a Ninja or a Sage, he uses different versions of the same burst!　　

~*~

Cecil - As a Dark Knight he is strong on the ground, while as a Paladin he is excellent in the air. Only by using both well can he really be put to work.

Ex-Burst: "Double Phase" - He combines the powers of light and darkness to deliver a great deal of damage.

~*~

Bartz - He has mastered all of the weapons of his fellow warriors. He can use magic as well.

Ex-Burst: Rapid Fire Dual-Wield Spell Blades - He combines the power of all of his companions into one fierce attack.

(Note: If you're not familiar with FFV, let me explain where the name comes from. Mimes in FFV can equip any skill they wish and a popular offensive strategy is to combine the Ninja's passive ability Dual-Wield to equip two swords with the Mystic Knight's Spellblades to charge both blades with a spell - usually Flare - and then the Ranger's Rapid Fire to attack four times per turn.)

~*~

Terra - She uses magic for both short and long range attacks. Managing the distance between her and her opponent is vital.

Ex-Burst: "Riot Blade" - Countless blades fly from her hands to tear her opponent to shreds.

~*~

Cloud - He specializes at slashing with one powerful blow at a time. This makes Brave Breaks easy for him.

Ex-Burst: "Omnislash" - Wave upon wave of raging blows! It's the strongest Limit Break!　　　　

(Note: If you've never seen Omnislash's crazy Japanese name, here you are - 超究武神覇斬, Choukyuubushinhazan literally, Super Ultimate War God Supreme Decapitation. Occasionally, translators can really improve things in localization...)　　　

~*~

Squall - At perfect ease with combos, he is a close combat fighter. He rushes towards his enemies to tear them apart.

Ex-Burst: "Renzokuken" - Just like FFVII, hit the R button to Trigger a more powerful attack. 　　　　

~*~

Zidane - He darts around quickly while playing with his opponents. While fighting in the air, he is capable of letting out a rush of energy waves.

Ex-Burst: "Reverse Gaia" - The enemy is overwhelmed by the ever-increasing acceleration of this series of attacks!

~*~

Tidus - With speedy attacks and fast leveling up, he's an excellent all-around character. He is quite easy to use.

Ex-Burst: "Blitz Ace" - Just like the original game, this Overdrive ends with him kicking off a Sphere Shot

Also there's a new Famitsu Scan that confirms Ad-hoc, Green-haired Terra, Cloud and Sephiroth and apparently 25 stages in total.

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...org1794516.jpg
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...org1794510.jpg

great the game will be playable online! You'll have to download a program called Ad-Hoc Party(and have a ps3) to play it online which will be able to gather up to 16 players per room for some tournament.

Each player will have their own Friend card and you'll be able to download those card from other player. Those cards will contain even ghost of the players that is suppose to mimic the way that player play the game.

I guess we'll need to create a Dissidia tournament thread :p

Does anyone else find it slightly disturbing how that last picture has Sephiroth strategically placed over Chaos' crotch area, of all places?

That art of the Warriors of Chaos (and the other one with the Warriors of Cosmos) is almost a year old by now. Only thing that came to mind was his front and center position on there.

BTW, anyone noticed the character styles and how the matching protagonists and antagonists have... issues if they ever went head to head? Like Ultimecia's strengths being in staying at a distance and spamming magic while Squall is a close range fighter.

Here's the special OST that comes with that bundle that they're selling in Japan:

The other side of the OST, and a few more shots:

Is it me, or does Tidus look really strange on the Soundtrack box? (nitpicky)

Can't unsee >.>

Damn if Nomura designed clothing doesn't sit awkwardly in Amano's artstyle. The layouts are gorgeous and then you have these small specks of "what the fuck is this doing here" here and there, Squall and Tidus especially.

Love that green hair Terra is featured as a alternate costume. She looks nice.

So apparently a FFXI character is in this too. According to some people who attended the Vanafest in Japan, they showed a video of Shantotto (Shantotto - FFXIclopedia - a Wikia Gaming wiki) duking it out in dissidia.

I'm honestly surprised they would do that, since FFXI is kind of.. distanced from other final fantasy games. I just have to wonder, will they add a villain from FFXI to match her, or is she just some extra character?

Well, it looks like the guys who got the site data way back then were right when they pointed out the FFXI and FFXII pages. Looks like Shantotto is in Dissidia.

http://i35.tinypic.com/25p6zxj.jpg

Mechanical google translation of the info on her

Heh, Shonos got the message in first.

I don't see why not, FFXI has some very good storyline and some interesting characters, it's just that FFXI since it's an MMORPG is not well known like the other FF.

Shantotto, hmm. Makes me wonder if they will be throwing in a villain from FFXI as well... And if so, who?
