>Cobra Unit
BIG BOSS CONFIRMED FOR DISSIDIA!!!!

Tidus

【Concept】
"Dodge-Attack"
Though he uses a sword he's not your everyday swordsman, as he efficiently intergrates his natural athletic abilities to attack while constantly moving about. He is able to shift around into a back stab, making avoiding enemy attacks easier, and leaving him better equipped to quickly respond to enemy attacks as he continues with his evasions. He almost seems to float a bit like Kuja, one of the main points about him that the staff debated hotly.

【Position and Personality】
Always up-beat no matter the surroundings, Tidus is a positively cheerful 17-year-old. He was gathering popularity as a young blitzball star. While he tends to affect everyone's mood around him, when it comes to his own issues he often loses his temper. But he is also sentimental, and often wears his heart on his sleeve. His possesses very complicated feelings regarding his father Jecht.

【EX Info】
EX-Mode Effect: Weapon change. He switches to Caladbolg.
EX-Mode Bonus: Caladbolg (Raises HP and attack power), Hastega (Increases movement speed - to the point of being able to avoid magic). This also allows the player a bit more reaction time for dodging.
EX-Burst: "Blitz Ace" He slashes rapidly at his opponent, then he tosses a blitzball into the air to shoot at his opponent with an overhead kick. As in the original, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen, with a cursor moving back and forth across it. When the cursor reaches the center of the bar, press the O button to raise the last attack's power.

Jecht

【Concept】
"Ultimate In-fighter/Super In-fighter"*
He doesn't use magic, so intend overwhelms his opponent in close-quarters, making him a character suitable for those who like fighting games. He moves quickly, and once he makes the approach, his over-whelming strength easily depletes his opponent's Brave in fast combos. The fact that his Brave attacks only grow stronger as he gains more Brave make him more dangerous. His combos have many different branches, and their flow changes depending upon the player's ability to input attacks with optimal timing. In this way, it is possible to cancel out the time between attacks, allowing HP attacks to be integrated into combos.

*Concept titles with a / indicate that more than one term has been used to describe the character's fighting style.

【Position and Personality】
Jecht is Tidus' father, and was once a star blitzball star like his son. He lacks the ability to properly express love or other tender feelings, resulting in an extremely rocky relationship with his son. Though he has no desire to rule the world, he is allied with the side of Chaos for his own reasons. This motive will be revealed through the story. In comparison to a shadowy manipulator like Golbez, he is the type who acts without thinking.

【EX Info】
EX-Mode Effect: A transformation based on Braska's Final Aeon from the original game.
EX-Mode Bonus: No name given. Even if his attack misses, another one can be executed without pause. It is possibly to totally dominate an opponent when they have no time to counter-attack.
EX-Burst: "King of The Blitz" He flings his opponent with a kick, slashes at them with his sword, and then kicks a boulder at them. The same timer bar that Tidus has appears, and the O Button has to pressed went the cursor reaches the center. If you succeed in selecting it the first time, then a second bar appears to power it up further.

Zidane

【Concept】
"Air Master"
He moves quickly, which helps to make him more user-friendly in ariel battles, where he excels. He can also preform multiple mid-air jumps, a talent that serves him well on narrow battle maps with scaffoldings. Since he dual-weilds his daggers he has a lot of moves. One motif is that his HP attacks are named after his Dyne skills.

【Position and Personality】
Hiding his profession as a thief behind an actor's mask, Zidane is a cheerful 16 year-old. His energentic personality is summed up as "he is cool when push comes to shove."* He has good powers of discernment, as well as plenty of courage, and he fancies himself to be a ladies' man. His brother Kuja is battling for the side of Chaos, and the two have vastly different views on life, with Zidane considering protecting people to be of the utmost importance. He is competing with Bartz to see who will obtain the Crystals first.
*Quote comes from Main Programmer, Ryuji Ikeda

【EX Info】
EX-Mode Effect: Trance mode from the original game.
EX-Mode Bonus: "Level 10 Jump" (Possible to jump 10 times while in the air) Further more, until he hits the ground again, enemy attacks will not hit him.
EX-Mode Burst: "Reserse Gaia." Using his daggers, he accelerates through a series of high-speed attacks, then he connects his daggers together by their handles to from a single swallow blade, for a single finishing blow. A gauge is displayed, and the O button is pressed to execute the series of attacks. The gauge is split into quarters, each one possessing a certain time limit. If the barrage slows and the time limit passes, it will automatically skip to the last attack.

Kuja

【Concept】
"Range Free/Range Master"
By pushing X in the air, he is able to glide about freely. It gives a feeling of floating with its own peculiar inertia. While he is able strike hard from above, he does have short-range attacks as well, letting him easily cope with close-combat. He can move while attacking, and the analog stick can be used in 2-stage attacks, allowing the range of the second attack to vary. If this type of combo consists of the same type of magic - for example Flare followed by Flare - the second attack will be powered-up.
(Note from Mini: Apparently, recreating spells like Ultima as they appeared in IX was difficult.)

【Position and Personality】
Kuja is a beautiful and brutal angel of death, wrapped in a shadowy ambiance. As in the original story, he is deeply involved in plotting to ensnare his brother Zidane. He enjoys speaking as if he is in a play, and is a narcissist with a bias towards beauty. Possessing an extraordinarily high amount of pride, he tends to look down upon the other troops of Chaos, and plans to be triumphant over all of them.

【EX Info】
EX-Mode Effect: Trance from the original game.
EX-Mode Bonus: No name given. While moving and jumping, Kuja is automatically protected by a ring of magic. Also, everytime he jumps a bullet of light is shot out from the ring.
EX-Burst: "Last Requiem" Begining with a series of magical explosions, his bullets of light come together in a single large ornate explosion for his finale. The same as Zidane, once the gauge appears the O button is to be pressed repeatedly to cause the explosions. The gauge is divided into quarters, and if the pace of entry is too slow the gauge will vanish, ending with the reduced number of explosions.

oh boy haven't seen this already.

Ultimecia
【Concept】
"Magic Shooter"
Although her attacks and movements are a bit slow, as a ranged character her magic bullets can travel long distances. Even if someone manages to approach, she can continue to launch attacks while moving, allowing her to put distance between her and her opponent while still fighting. Her attacks change dependent upon the number of times the button is pushed, allow her barrages to gain power and her attacks to have variations. Also, some of her attacks draw from the image of a "Sorcereress' Knight" with orginal magical weapons such as a sword, an axe, and bow named after the position.

【Position and Personality】
Ultimecia is a Sorcereress with the incredible power to manipulate the flow of time. While attempting to compress time so that she alone could live forever, Squall and his friends came to oppose her. As this femme fatale flaunts her voluptuous figure, she still maintains an air of charm and elegance. Around her fellow troops of Chaos she pretends to be polite while scheming behind their backs, reveling in her own vainglorious thoughts.

【EX Info】
EX-Mode Effect: Changes form as she junctions herself to Griever in a way similiar to the original game.
EX-Mode Bonus: No name given. Her magical powers increase, and she gains a special R+Square attack.
EX-Burst: "Time Compression" She stops time around her opponent to freeze them in place, and then barrages them with magical bullets, ending with a large explosion referred to as "End of Memories."* In the middle of her attack, a guage similiar to Squall appears, complete with the same manner of markers. When her marker reaches the "Fire!" mark, press the O button with the proper timing to increase the power of her projectiles. Successfully completing the sequence will affect the amount of Brave she can steal from her opponent, but either way the general effect of the attack will remain the same.

Squall Leonhart

【Concept】
"Combo Master/Combo Fighter"
With his Gunblade, he is quick to attack at at short distances, and combine bullet and blade in his fighting style. Although close-quarters combat on the ground is his forte, he can use magic, allowing him to attack from a distance as well. Either way, he be relished by players who love delivering long strings of combos. Though his HP attacks are a little slow, they have a large attack range.

(Mini notes that Squall tends to run like a girl in this game)

【Position and Personality】
Squall is a 17-year-old swordsman who fights with a gunblade. He graduated from the mercenary training school, Balamb Garden, originally founded to defeat the Sorcereresses. Reticient and rather impolite, he distances himself from his allies, but this to due to his hidden vunerability and fears regarding being hurt. Thus, few people get close to him. As in the original game, he has many moments of personal soul-searching.

【EX Info】
EX-Mode Effect: Swittches weapons from Revolver to Lionheart.
EX-Mode Bonus: Lionheart (Increases the power of Gunblade attacks. It also increases the reach of the blade, and causes it to fire upon contact with opponents, further increasing its damage output)
EX-Burst: Renzokuken - Uses his Gunblade in a series of attacks against his opponent, mirroring the finisher "Lionheart." With sharp explosions, he lets the bullets fly. As in the original, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen with a marker labled "Trigger" to show when to hit the R button to increase the attack's power. The trigger can be hit up to eight times. However, missing the Trigger will automatically end the chance to power up the attack, making the game skip to ending of Lionheart.

>>24002794
>>24002794
That's pretty cool, bro.
No, really.
It helps that I think Ultimecia is a fuckawesome name.
Too bad the rest of the thread is gay.

>>24002863

Fuck yeah. my main.

Garland and Firion's stage.

Holy shit.

Zidane is 16?

>>24002974
Oops, I mean Garland & Warrior of Light's stage.

>>24002952
Homosexual.

The Emperor's & Firion's stage.

Cloud of Darkness & Onion Knight's stage.

Golbez & Cecil's stage.

These stages are godly

Do want to know FF6 stage

>>24003274
>The Moon
I'm going to like this one
>>24003184
Meh
>>24003110
I hated Castle Panemonium in FFII, and the music was shit. Hopefully it won't be as bad, but I doubt it.
>>24002974
This looks good.

Ex-Death & Bartz' stage

Kefka & Terra's stage.

>>24003499
WHY I AM SO SQUARE
But it looks lovely

>>24003499
The Void Castle. I wonder if there will be any mention of the Inner Void (the crystal environment pictured)?

>>24003581
Magitek Facility?

And that's all. Apparently the guy who scanned the Ultimania Alpha either:

- Didn't want to scan the rest

or, and this is more likely:

- The Ultimania Alpha is just that, an Alpha that doesn't contain most of the content in the game.

>>24003669
It would appear so.

Ok, folks lay the names of the stages on me. I can only get Pandemonium (FF1), Magitek Facility (FF6) and The Moon (FF4).

Anyone got the names of the rest?

>>24003669
no, final dungeon, tower of rubble is what they're calling it, notice the two teleporters which send you up to fight kefka, really 3 in the game though

Just for the people who might not know yet...


- The 3 install types are Battle Data, Battle Data + Story Data, and Full Install.

- The FF Museum section has a Character Files section looks a lot like FFXII's beastiary, except it seems to cover characters as well. Really nice.

- There'll definitely be a FFXII character.

- Chaos side characters have no story mode, this is finally confirmed. Only Cosmos characters will, but you will see the story for both sides by playing through with all the Cosmos characters.

- There are no hidden game modes that have not been announced.

- There are only 12 stage maps in the game. There are 24 selectable options because you can select each stage with or without the stage gimmicks that might be present. The 25th stage selection is just the "random stage" option.

>>24003914
And take a look at this part of the translated interview info:

>- There are only 12 stage maps in the game. There are 24 selectable options because you can select each stage with or without the stage gimmicks that might be present. The 25th stage selection is just the "random stage" option.

That's a stage for each game, FF1 to FF12 and the last is the randomization choice.

>>24003765
I didn't finish VI yet. I started playing, and stopped in some cavern with magma. I got past the Magitek Facility and have Setzer in my party.

>>24003944
>FF11
I wonder what place they'll choose...

>FF12
Please be Sky Fortress Bahamut or where the Occuria live. One is indoors, one allows for that crazy Dissidia flying!

>>24004083
I'd like Giruvegan.

>>24004227
I'd rather we get the the Great Crystal... just to scare people.

"YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND THE OTHER PERSON BEFORE YOU DEFEAT THEM!"

"OH GOD NO"

>>24004083

The stage is based on who the Chaos side character is. If it's Shadow Lord like most are thinking, Castle Zvahl or Xarcabard.

>>24004083

Hoping 11's is the Celestial Capitol from CoP.

Or Jeuno.

>>24004362
>The stage is based on who the Chaos side character is.
Please stay up to date with the game.

Dissidia Roster: 22
20 from FF1 to 10, 2 per game.
1 from FFXI, Nomura confirmed the final character is from FFXII. This is coupled with Chaos is missing their own secret character.

12 stages, 1 per game.

>>24004349
I'd rather not be tortured through the game (even though both are technically Giruvegan). I just like the steps of Giruvegan though, and the atmosphere and music as well. I would post a link but Youtube is undergoing maintenance and being uncooperative.

>>24004349
Is it just me or does that look like a gnarly vagina?

>>24004529
Wel, we have a bevy of areas to choose. From the Stilshrine of Miriam, to Wraithwall's tomb, the Sandsea, Archadia, Dalmasca, Golmore Jungle

Aha! I have two good ones: The Deadlands or the Necrohol of Nabudis.

>>24004553
Probably just you. Looks like someone slammed a crystal against a table and some of it broke away.

24004463
>12 stages, 1 per game.

Actually 11 stages have been confirmed and shown. That icy area the Heroes are seen standing in together is a stage.

>>24004614
>The Deadlands or the Necrohol of Nabudis
Those are good ones, especially since Vayne gave the order to more or less nuke them.

>>24004725
Actually, he's right. That info was translated by duckroll straight from the 4 page Dissidia blowout Famitsu did a week ago.

>>24003765
Those aren't teleporters.

>>24004349
Don't joke like that....

>>24004725
Yeah. The 12th stage will most likely be a Chaos inspired one so I don't think the Guest Characters will get their own.

In all likelihood, the FFXI and FFXII stages will be end-game areas like all the other stages shown are.

>>Chaos side characters have no story mode

Why even have a story mode in the first place if you're only getting HALF of the fucking story?

I mean, god damn. Most of us know the stories behind the heroes already. They could have given us something we didn't already no but FUCK THAT I GUESS.

Excuse me, but did I just see Tifa?

>>24005069
>Why even have a story mode in the first place if you're only getting HALF of the fucking story?
This game is about the good guys' story of going from losing badly against the Chaos forces to getting the crystals and defeating them.

I bet you probably bitch about the villains in FF games not getting more time from their point of view.

>>24005212
Nope. Please proceed to the next thread.

>>24004971

>>24005004
Sky Fortress Bahamut it is then.

>>24005292
Why did you post Gilgamesh? He's not in Dissidia (well, he is, but as a summon and character card).

>>24005214

This isn't supposed to be a main series game, jackass, its Smash Bros with Final Fantasy characters. The whole POINT is being able to play as other characters and get tidbits about them.

Also, fuck yes I want some background on the villains in my games. How would you have it? The first and only time you see the villain is for the final battle?

>>24005466
>This isn't supposed to be a main series game, jackass, its Smash Bros with Final Fantasy characters.
Wrong.

Brawl has no story. This game does what other FF games does: Puts you in control of the HEROES and THEIR view and story is most important.
