Okay, Dissidia is making me giddy.
That’s all I can really say right now. Watching Zidane use his tail to wrap around Tidus’s leg to fling himself back into the battle? Watching Squall and Sephiroth fighting as they run up a mountain? The intro video is insane for any Final Fantasy fanboy.
The game itself is crazy too. I was playing as Squall, grinding on the goddamned Lifestream while Zidane chased after me. Crazy. There are so many moves and customizations, it seems.
Seems.
I suck at the game hard. I played the quick battle mode a couple times with each of the 10 currently available characters and died nearly every single goddamned time. I am missing something to the combat. I think I am starting to get the hang of the whole system, which still feels kinda bizarre.
Instead of damaging directly, you first do basic attacks that damage your opponents Brave stat and bring points to yours. Then you can attack your enemy with another attack that uses your Brave value to damage their HP. If you manage to bring your opponent’s Brave to zero, you get a shitload of Brave to do massive damage.
There also seems to be other special attacks and fuck, it’s crazy. I am doing bad at it right now but having fun, so I’m looking forward to digging deeper.
Just bummed that as I have a 20GB PS3 without WiFi, I will be unable to play this online. Such bullshit that the cheaper PS3 model has so many things stripped out of it.
got my copy :D it’s great! but yeah, confusing.
[...] Dissidia is an odd game. So odd in fact, that until just a month before its release, no one was really sure what in god’s name it really was. Hell, it still seems to be confounding some people. [...]
