By Nomura(producer) and Takashi(planning director).

 

Laguna, The FFVIII hero was actually supposed to have appeared in Kingdom Heats Birth by Sleep, Nomura revealed. They'd even partially prepared a scenario where Laguna appears as the head of Mirage Arena. In the end, they decided that if they were to have a new character from FFVIII in Duodecim it would end up being Laguna, so they left him out of BbS.

 

This game may come with PSP hardware bundle. Square Enix has yet to provide a look at the special PSP system, but Nomura revealed to the magazine that it will have a Yoshitaka Amano illustration showing Chaos and Cosmos. The system will be pearl white, with the side frame being matte black.

 

More characters are on the way for the game. While there was no mention of the Jump trailer's hints at Yuna, Nomura said that the remaining character reveals will all come from the Final Fantasy games that were released on the Super Famicom/SNES and beyond.

 

The past characters aren't all that's returning for Duodecim. Nomura revealed that the original's story will also be included. Once you clear Duodecim's story, you'll be able to unlock this. It's being fully remade to go along with Duodecim's new story mode, which is based off a 3D map system. The plot is the same, but you'll find more 2D events allowing you to explore the story deeper.

 

With two full stories, it may seem like Duodecim is going to offer a lot of play time. This is the case. Takahashi said to expect 15 hours of play time for Duodecim's story. Add in the original's story, and the total shoots up to 60 hours. O_o

 

Nomura promised a surprise for the game at the January 18th 1st Production Department Premier event.

Dude It looks awesome! Too bad Tidus is on chaos I love him. But that was a rather petty move. But I don't mind him being shirtless lol. Does he only use blitzballs though? And he doesn't remember yuna right?

He isn't on Chaos coz Jecht is, that would be petty, the story is, if a person is new to the wars (aka, Dissidia world) they have no memory of their previous world, and Tidus is new, so he doesn't remember Yuna or Jecht, and he got "brainwashed", or at least that's what Dissidiaforums has so far on that whole sha-bangabang

I believe you just confused yourself, the level 20 part is for the demo aka, the short story mode. The level transfer is for the actual Dissidia to Duodecim, not Dissidia to Demo lol

 

Oh yes! Thank you for that, I did get them confused. >.<

That's even worse though! I'd feel cheap playing the game so early with level 100 characters D:

I'd bet SE would anticipate that and put in a level cap

People theorize that story-mode will have preset levels, or that the levels will only carry over in quick battle and such.

[constructiveBUMP]

 

Its been like a week and theres a shiz load of news my peeps!!!

Like a description of Prische who I believe with Gilgamesh are bonus characters. Dont quote me mind!!

 

Also a link to the frankly fantastic cover for duodecim! Yuna looks beautiful in it I fear I redevelop my teenage crush on her!! Plus I may also develop a man crush on Tidus too he looks fantastic and eveil in that dark light!!

And heres something you guys will really like. English gameplay in english of Vaan, Yuna and Laguna's EX Bursts.

Seeing To the Farplane (which sounds similar to sephiroth's battle cry) this close is just gorgeous also did I forget to mention how beautiful Yuna looked in it? [/constructiveBUMP]

Just for the record, Laguna sounds younger than I was expecting, Vaan sounds older (but still good), and Yuna sounds weird. Yes, I realize that Square sucks at picking voiceovers for Yuna, but even those actors make this seem different than the Yuna I know.

Yuna has only had 1 voice actor. And it definitely sounds like she's still voicing Yuna.

umm obviously he does just not Yuna and she is supposed to be new right?. How does she remember jecht?

Has anybody saw the subtitled version of the final trailer?

umm obviously he does just not Yuna and she is supposed to be new right?. How does she remember jecht?

 

Because this is the 12TH WAR. A prequel, and possibly Tidus' first war. Yuna has been there for a few wars, so she regained her memories, she's just not in the 13th war.

 

Basically, Tidus is new, Yuna is not. Tidus forgets stuff, Yuna does not. Tidus is an idiot who doesn't remember things, Yuna is not. I could keep going on with these crappy "Yuna is not" things, but it's gotten boring.

 

And I saw that subtitled video, looks awesome

Not really news but I just wanna get convo going!! So I kinda want to speculate some of the story based off wat we know so far. So SE say the story should take 15 hours with it being similar to Dissidia 1 that each of the 6 new guys have stories that take up to 2 hours. And Im assuming there'll be like a Shade impulse in there afterwards.

 

Now since theres like 28 characters in the game with the perspective possibly focussing on the 6 the most the other WoC will have less limelight but should probably have the same screen time interacting with the 6 in the way they did during the original in each others stories! Im also assuming the WoC will each have their own moments against their counterpart again but briefly and probably not twice!

 

One more thing Im hoping and assuming will happen is that since the 6's stories are most likely more focussed the story might hopefully be more refined, seeming that its going to explain their most likely tragic roles by the end

*30 characters so far, 22 originals + the 8 newbies

 

Well, it'll go a lot faster IMO for each character, since they're in groups this time, not chessboard playstyle, so it'll be more in less time. But I don't get how the normal Dissidia will take 45 hours (that was actually confirmed for the 45 hours thing), seems like way too much for a game that only took like 20 hours at most in the slow playstyle......

Okay I wasn't sure thanks. I'm kinda new to Dissidia cause I don't have a PSP and cause 012 is coming out I thought I would learn abou tit. Sorry for arguing with you firestorm!

Sorry I know theres 30 but I've heard Gilgamesh & Prische are like Gabranth & Shanttoto were in the first one.

 

Well seeming since in the original story with duodecim levels will still require the 10 characters story which does take a good while with leveling then shade impulse which takes just as long since you'll need to level up to 40 or 50 to Win.

Actually, I found it very easy to beat Shade Impulse, Chaos was a pushover there, then came Inward Chaos *shudder* I beat him, but I can only beat him with one character without trouble

 

Technically you can level up to like level 50 in about an hour or two, just Level 100 Exdeath spam

Pre orders in the US!

 

Amazon

Great news for European users SE are making an exclusive DLC for Squall in the form of his KH look "Leon", its been made available in japan in the V-Jump magazine and Europeans will find it in the legacy edition of Duodecim! No word on America but you know they'll give a way to get it.

huh, annoying and bad news here;

 

Nomura said in an interview that the next game won't have the same style, meaning it probably won't be a fighter D: (that was the best part of Dissidia ) Yeah, there's most likely going to be another Dissidia game, but not in the same style as the two Dissidia games so far........... unhappy face of firestorm -->

even though i know they are not appearing in duodecim but still awesome to think about here's who i vote for personally

 

FF I

 

1-the red mage of light: a warrior of cosmos

 

bio: a self proclaimed ladies's man he seems to the warrior of light all too well...and what his motives are.

 

FF II

 

2-leon: a warrior of cosmos/chaos

 

bio: like kain, is torn between sides.

 

FF III

 

3-the female onion knight (refia): a warrior of cosmos

 

FF VI

 

4-shadow: a warrior of chaos

 

FF IX

 

5-steiner: a warrior of cosmos

 

FF XIII

 

6-cid raines: a warrior of cosmos/chaos

 

who do you think personally? (and i'll do the rest of the bios later)

I'd love to see a blank character created just for Dissidia that focused on the customization of yesteryear.

Am I only one who thinks the American box art for this game is pure win?

Well, if I recall, he said that they had done all they could with one-on-one battles, and they wanted to do something else. Maybe this means team fighting, or an all-out war like in the intro cutscenes.

 

Either way, at least Dissidia isn't gone for good; just in its current form.

More news:

 

A live telecast on March 2nd will show talk sessions with the development staff and voice actors. The results of the "MAD" play movie contest and illustration contests, now running at Nico Nico Douga and Nico Nico Seiga, will be announced. It also looks like we'll get details on a new character that will be announced just ahead of launch. Link to the telecast is in this link down there.

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/02/21/dissidia_new_characters/

 

As for the New character it might be

 

Gilgamesh. (Prishe, maybe but she got already announced. And Gilgamesh, too got announced.) If you want to know their Ex's Burst or alt outfits,pm me.

 

I cant wait till this game comes out. And the boxart of this game is epic win.
