Maybe its more the Mime class they're pulling for.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that there will be a Monster Arena aspect. True, every character fighting every character at least once makes for 100 different battle scenarios, but I'd still like to have the variety of a few imps to stomp inbetween for training. If thats so, Bartz might specialize in blue magic learned from that.

So far every character has been pretty unique. I'm curious how Exdeath and Golbez, two very similar characters, will set themselves apart. Likewise, I'm curious how Terra will be displayed as a magic user.

FFV mimes were essentially a carrier class - their only base command is Mimic, and unlike the other jobs don't automatically set Fight and Item; so unlike any other class they could set three secondary abilities, from the list the character had learned.

FFVI mimes (read: Gogo) had a better aspect: the ability to use the command lists of his allies. And just as Gogo taught the Light Warriors how to be mimes, the playable Gogo can set three abilities apart from Mimic; so it could set Edgar's tools, Sabin's Blitz, and Mog's dances if you felt like it. However, setting Magic was more limited: the available magic was the available magic on the rest of the active party.

If Bartz is a mime, then he is more like Gogo without Gogo's limitation on using Magic; because then, he will have set Onion Sage's Daimahou, and used Flare that way. This actually makes sense in a way.

Editing: But then again, why introduce a probably useless game mechanic when Bartz's Suppin class can still carry two job sets?

I think the Mime job on FFV is still better than FFVI's considering Gogo was an incredibly gimped version of everyone elses commands while not even able to grow stronger with Esper's, where FFV's job was able to keep the full strength.

Also, I'm offering 2k in gold for each character that gets a written summary by any of you guys. Please read the character summaries on the first page written by Lolita Doll, pi rho maniac, and Ran-Chan to get an idea of what I am looking for.

I expect those who are writing about the character to be experts about researching, and not be bias. I will be making corrections when necessary, and if I think the summaries are no good, I will deny it all together. This is not a first come, first serve basis. Whoever writes the better summary will get 2k (maybe even more if you amaze me). Fair enough?


All of the characters are available except for:

Jecht
Zidane
Kuja
Ultimecia
Warrior of Light
Garland


Deadline: October 16th, 2008.

PM me your summaries.

For those who haven't noticed yet, the character portraits have been updated. And I'll reiterate that the small full-body image of the characters are thumbnail links to a higher-resolution image in PNG format. (The most superior image format in the world.)

I've also added the bios for Jecht, Kuja, and Ultimecia. A huge thanks to Pi Rho Maniac for writing those wonderful pieces.

[Laili]

I should be coming up with a Cecil, Golbez, Cloud, Sephiroth, and Tidus one in a moment.

I'll PM those to you later today.

Latest word on the grape vine is that apparently Bartz uses everyone's weapon's in Exmode, whilst summons are also available, and activated by using Triangle+R.

I've yet to find artical, or scan, so its all rumor as far as I'm concerned. But it definetly sounds interesting. Chupon and Ifrit were mentioned, though from the sound, they merely apear as stat boosters, apearing as flashing images of their amano representations, as opposed to being fully 3D attacking versions of themselves.

Sounds a bit of a let down.

Still a few more things left to speculate and hope for over the next two months.

1. Mascot apearances
2. Terra/Cloud/Kefka/Sephiroth/Exdeath/Golbez's gameplay style
3. Further explaination of Summons
4. Supporting character possible apearances
5. Monster apearances.

i don't care about the summons - they get to appear in almost every single FF game, unlike the characters.

they may be an important part of FF history, but a simple acknowledgement of them is enough for me.

[Majin Paul]

The summons could be bosses that you fight, maybe pulled from each character's world/dimension.
That would make the game longer, make some awesome fights and well, include the appearance of summons for both good and evil if the summons don't have any alignment.

I demand the X-Death figurine. Whats the price?

I haven't heard of a price yet, but judging other FF action figures, I'd guess that the Dissidia figures would be around $25.

[AGCourtney]

I need to get some of these figurines. o_o<3

[Clouds_Lover]

Fiiiiguuureees.... *drools*

[Laili]

I owuld have no idea which figurine I would buy if they came out. gonk

[DrTonberry]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfnLofgxV2Q I finished draft two! I just need Bartz, Terra, Cloud, Kefka, Exdeath, and Sephiroth! I also need suggestions on how to fill in the first part pre-melody.

Or boss fights?

wow this is a huge explosion of news man wow here is what i think.

Keflka man his art looks scary but still it fits him since he is some kind of Clown i think his EX mode is that he becomes a God thats what i think since that happens in FFVI.

Terra wow she does look beautiful and its great that she is in it to make her seperate from the rest of the Male characters as the heroes you know so far she is the only heroine in it plus her EX Mode she becomes the Esper form.

Cloud i knew this was coming but i also knew he was going back to his FFVII outfit and style which fits him more to this game and not only that i like that they gave back his hair style and also his glowing eyes thing from the Mako expouse also he has that anime style to it which reflects his original design.

Seperoth well what can i say about it if Cloud is in it then Sephy has to be in as well so yeah well he is still the same so nothing much just the anime style like Cloud is.

i have not much to say about this now like Darth Vader will say "the pieces are complete but your not a jedi yet"

but then again i like Star Wars thats why oh snap i thought of something will Darth Vader appear in Dissida because the FF series makes alot of references to Star Wars alot.

also i was playing about the Darth Vader bit.
