Too be honest they probably just announced characters people wouldn't expect. It'd make more people kind of go, "wah? Hmm."

They could have just announced, "Cloud! Vincent! Tidus!"

Wouldn't have made it as interesting for a lot of us. Alot of those people that squee for FFVII and FFXII will end up buying this anyways cause it's Final Fantasy.

I beg to differ.

Vincent in a thong would get my attention pretty fast.

The scan talks about the storyline, actually.

Looks like the Goddoss Cosmos and the God Chaos each decided to summon the ultimate warriors of light and dark to fight one another.

I also noticed that they said "each" protagonist would be making an appearance, along with their main villans. Which means (assuming that the transalation and the magazine were both correct) we can expect Warrior of Light, Firion, Onion Knight (maybe?), Cecil, Bartz, Terra/Locke/Celes, Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Tidus, (I dunno what they'd do for XI?), and Vaan.

The villans are often a little less clear... Would IV have Golbez or Zeromus, for instance?

Actually, that is very useful information. Thanks for posting that. I'll find some way to integrate what was mentioned in the translation into the story and characters section.

I'm holding off updates till the Party is over.


Silver: Why not both?

I have the strangest image in my head now.

"Cloud! I choose you!" pokemon theme plays at a chibi Cloud Strife pops out of a pokeball, and faces off against a chibi Sephiroth

*imagines a character creation mode, using Vana'Diel characters to fill the FFXI slot*
That'd be so effing sweet.

As heretical as this game seems at first glance, it actually looks like something I might enjoy.

That is not a bad idea at all.

[Evil Penguin Overlord]

There was a trailer shown at the SE thing showing Garland, Zidane, and Kuja. Personally, I can't wait for this game. I'm only hoping it's decent and not just cramming characters into a clunky fighting game ._.

If I can create a Hume Samurai in either AF1 or AF2 with an Amanomurakumo then yes... it'd be frigging awesome. As for antagonist from FFXI...

There is a lot to pull from.

Zilart, Shadowlord, Dynamis Lord variation of Shadowlord, Promathia, etc. Then again I don't think the god Chaos and Goddess Cosmos would like bring the God of Dusk to this battle. Maybe Absolute Virtue? XD

Just offer up the five races with Artifact 2 armor and the Relic Weapons and we'll be good.

[MystyriousSilver]

Man, choosing Absolute Virtue would just mean you automatically win.

That much character creation would be alot of work just for one slot... it does sound cool, though.

I wonder, will they have Paladin Cecil, or Dark Knight Cecil? Maybe both? Would the be seperate characters, or have some sort of Sheik/Zelda style transformation or something?

[The Death Blues Mix]

Maybe...

Actually I don't think it'd be that hard to program in. Five races with identicle alternate settings. The only place it'll get hard is putting in Weaponskills and Abilities you know?

Just toss in some Level 60 to Relic Weaponskills and should be good. Rangers sidewindering the s**t out of Sephiroth would be infinitely entertaining. Or Samurai doing Meikyo Shisui Tachi: Kaiten Light Chain Meditations would be awesome.

Not going to happen but it'd be kind of cool.

I'm satisfied with who we'll probably have to choose. They better make Kefka's laugh an attack. At the least a AOE Stat down effect on the area.

[`Quetzalcoatl]

Yaaahh, I've spent a lot of time around WoW geeks and understood more terminology than those last few paragraphs.

It sounds cool, but I just have no idea what it is since I haven't played XI online.

o wO;

They should put more insanely hard bosses in these games. I like what happened with the Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat. I like going "OHSHIT" when I fire up a fight rather than "*yawn* Flare, fight over."

It's unfortunate that due to the fact that FFXI is online no HNM type monster, unless introduced into FFXI or the next SE MMO, will ever be tougher then Absolute Virtue in the Final Fantasy verse. Does anyone know the no glitch tally for victories against AV?

Anyways, to clear things up AF = Artifact Armor. At level 50 to level 60 you can do quest for your Artifact Armor pieces regarding whatever job you're character is set to.

AF2 = The Second Artifact Armor set. After completing the Shadowlord storyline an area called Dynamis is unlocked. In there you battle high level monsters that randomly drop pieces from the second set of jobs artifact armor.

Tachi: Kaiten and Sidewinder are Weaponskills belonging to the Samurai job class and Ranger job class. Weaponskills are essentially the limit break type ability.

Meditate is a Samurai ability to get 100 to 180 Technical points to do a Weaponskill. 100 TP is the base level of Meditate with 120 to 140 being the possible outcome after having the AF1 helm, and 160 to 180tp gain being the possible outcome after gaining AF2 gloves coupled with AF1 Helm.

Relic Weapons are friggin hard to get weapons that you upgrade with items you get from Dynamis.

Light Chain is basically one outcome of skill chains, equal to Darkness skill chains. Skill chains are when you link up Weaponskills, either by yourself if you can get 100 tp with in 1 to 3 seconds after the first, or linking up with another player. It creates additional damage and sometimes a nifty animation. Its real benefit is that it can be bursted by magic adding on a Magic Burst damage bonus.

AOE is a general RPG term. XD Excuse me if I messed up, I'm a little rusty at my FFXIness since I haven't played since earlier this year. Retired End Game Samurai. I'd be playing again if SE hadn't just deleted my character <.< But I don't really need to play anymore.

Probably too complicated to introduce into a PSP fighter but if this is successful maybe they'll spin it off into a full blown, with international online, action game for PS3.

So... is this like Super Smash Bros?
I personally don't understand what it's about or how it is.
I want to use Reno. >_>

We still don't know if it's even remotely like Smash Bros.
