[JP] DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY

Posted by: hoshi



Introduction of DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY

This game falls under the action/strategy genre and is also a celebration of Square Enix's 20th anniversary[just like Crisis Core 10th anniversary], there will be 10 characters on each faction, namely Cosmos and Chaos from most of the Final Fantasy series.

The story of "Dissidia Final Fantasy" is about Cosmos being weakened by Chaos, [If you've watched the prologue intro. Chaos rebirth!] paving the way for the latter to rule the world! The 10 FF heroes will have to gather all 10 crystals and reclaim Light while sealing away the Darkness once and for all. After you've cleared and gathered all 10 crystals, a new chapter will be unlocked. This time, it is to defeat Chaos. Inside that new chapter, there're 4 more sub-chapters, after clearing these 4 chapters, new options will be unlocked, and another 3 new chapters will be unlocked too!

I guess most of the PSP users out there are already trying this game out, although I just started playing it just a few days ago, and decided to write a dissidia final fantasy post, I might not fully cover everything, just some basic features, hiddens, and other stuffs from the game in here.

Just a notice, I hope everyone has had their PC installed east asian language support.
Moonrunes will appear.

BASIC CONTROL

Let's learn the basic controls of the game before moving onto the main part.

COMBO KEYS CONTROL NAME DESCRIPTION
R + △ Once you've reached a certain level and accumulated enough AP, you'll learn Multi-air dash, Free Air dash and Free Air dash R.
  • Multi-air dash【マルチエアダッシュ】
    • Multi-air dash is slightly different from Free Air dash. Multi-air dash depends on where your character is facing and it'll only dash 1 straight line, no dashing upwards/downwards. If you press the down button while facing your opponent, it'll dash the reversed direction.
  • Free Air dash【フリーエアダッシュ】
    • Your character will dash towards your opponent. No matter where your opponent is, even if your lock-on is not targeting your opponent(other than lock-on on the EX core), your character will still dash towards your opponent. While your character is dashing towards your opponent, your character can knock BRAVE attacks away but not HP attacks.
  • Free Air dash R【フリーエアダッシュR】
    • R stands for Reversed. Instead of dashing towards your opponent, your character will dash the reversed direction. More of a "retreat dash", dashing away from your opponent.
R + 〇 Summon【召喚】 Summon out your equipped summon stone. Only 1 summon can be used in 1 battle.
For more infomation about "summons", click here.
R + X Dodge/Avoid【回避】 Your character will dodge depending on which direction you've pressed.
R + 口 EX mode【EXモード】 Once your EX gauge fills up to max, and it starts to flash. Press it to activate EX mode. Each character will have their own EX BRV/HP attacks and EX effects. In addition, he/she will transform into EX mode form. Attack your opponent with HP attack, and once the 口 appears right in the middle of the screen, press 口 to use the EX burst.

STORY MODE GAMEPLAY


SHORT DESCRIPTION
Dissidia Final Fantasy is not one of those RPG Final Fantasy series. Dissidia Final Fantasy's Story Mode is a board game. You move your battle piece to where that black crest is, and destroy it, stage clear! There're treasures, enemy battle pieces, potion, summon stones, Skill refiller, and locked platforms along the way to that black crest. Although it's a chess look-a-like board game, you can move your battle piece freely to anywhere within the given platform. Beware, there's DP[Destiny Point], which each move will decrease 1 DP. Move wisely. Those locked platforms, you need to battle the same chapter again to unlock it.
NAME(S) IN JAPANESE NAME(S) IN ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
- Platform, Base Platform, each and every stage will have different fixed platforms. Your Base, notice that light shinning upwards below your battle piece, that marks your current base. Once you make a move to other platform and assign it, 1 DP will be used and your old base will be switched to your new current base.
混沌の烙印 Chaos Stigma That Red/Black crest. Destroy it to clear that stage.
- DP [Destiny Point] Each stage will have a fixed DP. Move your battle piece wisely, defeat those battle pieces which have a DP Chance winning condition to add DP. 1 move will substract 1 DP and will get lower bonus.
- Stage Bonus The more DPs you accumulate, the better bonus you'll get. Maximum DP is 9. However, max DP doesn't always give you the best item, DP at around 5-7 usually will have better bonus items than DP at 9. Better items such as summon stone, rare weapons, rare armours, etc.
- Skill Press 口 to use skills, skills are obtained when you cleared a chapter. Each skill has it's own effect, example: dealing 10% damage to all battle piece, heal your battle piece 50%, etc. If your skills ran out, just find a skill refiller to refill back your skills. Beware, it won't refill back the same skill, a random skill will be refilled instead.
- Battle Pieces There're a few different types of Battle Pieces. They're always blocking your path to that final battle piece(either Black crest or [???]). Destroy them to clear your path. Some of them have DP chance, fight them carefully to earn that DP.

  • Silver Battle Piece = Basic enemy, usually the lowest level and the easiest to defeat of all other battle pieces.
  • Silver Battle Piece with dual sword behind = Stronger enemy, slightly stronger than basic enemy, and has a better dodge chance.
  • Gold Battle Piece = Abnormal enemy, HP 1, High Brave points, High dodge chance. This character will move endlessly, it's not easy to deal HP Attack on this battle piece.
  • Bronze Battle Piece = Toughest of all battle pieces. Some of them aren't that tough, it really depends on which character this bronze battle piece is. Sometimes it's guarding something or blocking your path.
  • Silver tall Battle Piece with 6 swords behind = Even tougher than Bronze Battle Piece. They will appear when you battle the same chapter 2nd time onwards.

Summons in Dissidia Final Fantasy does not deal any damage to enemy's HP, instead it deals damage to the enemy's BRAVE points. Some of them power-up your BRAVE.

Summons are obtainable only via Story Mode. Some of them requires you to replay the same chapter in order to obtain it due to locked platforms. Stories from Destiny Odyssey I ~ Inward Chaos.
If you don't know how to equip or reserve, check below.
NAME(S) IN JAPANESE NAME(S) IN ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
装備 Equip Equip any summon that's on the list. Only 1 summon is equippable per character.
はずす Remove Remove your current equipped summon.
リザーブする Reserve Reserves your summons. You can reserve a maximum of 5 summons. Check below for how to reserve.
リザーブしない No Reserve Removes all your current reserved summons.
Back to top
Q: How to use "リザーブする [Reserve]" ?
A: Example: You reserved 5 summons in this order, 1st Shiva, 2nd Bahamut, 3rd Odin, 4th Alexander, 5th Tonberry. You start a battle and used up Shiva’s power in 3 battles thus Shiva will be unavailable for the next 3 battles as Shiva needs to recharge her powers up again. So, your priority summon is “Shiva”, once Shiva became unavailable, your 2nd/next reserved summon(Bahamut) will replace Shiva for the time being. If you used up “Bahamut”’s power as well, and “Shiva” is still recharging its power, the 3rd summon(Odin) will replace “Bahamut”. Once “Shiva” finished recharging back the power, “Shiva” will be back to the priority slot, and “Odin” will be back to the 3rd reserved slot. Same applied up till the 5th reserved summon slot.

Very belated post concerning Saimoe 2008

Posted by: Kinny Riddle

I'm sure most of you are all aware that Saimoe 2008 is over weeks ago, though I'd just like to share something related to it to you guys.

Early last month I went on a trip to Tokyo, had a lot of fun there, maybe I'll try and post something up if I ever feel like it, but that's not the focus of this post.

Naturally (for most readers here anyway) I went to Akihabara for the usual "pilgrimage" and stuff. And coming across a shop that sells only PCs and laptops (remember that Akiba is actually famous for selling electric stuffs first before it became famous as an otaku ghetto), I noticed this stuck on the entrance:

'Nuff said. (Regardless of what you think of the outcome or of Kagamin. )

I myself did not participate in any voting whatsoever, since I was too busy and couldn't be bothered to handle all the partisanships without risking getting my blood pressure boiling, let's just say.

The final itself was held just before I left for Tokyo, and it was only by chance that I popped by and learned that she won, and within days (when I saw this), this was posted. It was just too amusing so I took a photo of it.

A Day With Alice

Posted by: Shin

Otherwise known as Dennou Figure ARis, this augmented reality figure was released by Geisha Tokyo Entertainment back in October, allowing users to interact with a three dimensional figure that takes the shape of a rather adorable maid who goes by the name of Alice. Innovation or gimmick? More after the jump.

A new servant and some other stuff.

Posted by: Setsuna-san

Allow me to introduce msyself. I am but a humble servant that goes by the alias of Setsuna-san or just Setsuna. My origins are unimportant as i now serve the master of this blog. I will be the master's photographyslave as i have a meager proficiency in photography and i shall take photos of him crossdressing and posting it here for teh lulz. Other than that i will be doing some figurine reviews once in awhile and also some episodic blogging as my master sees fit. Right, lets proceed to today's topic.

A warning: the following post might not be SFW.
