I like the Bluesy nature of Cowboy Bebop meshed with Jazz and Classic Rock a bit more then GITS and Darker Than Black. Then again I like Bebop as a whole package.

I have the Samurai Champloo OSTs and it would actually make a good OST for more stylish action RPG games.

Alright. Then I'll just need to find a good FREE filehost with no limits on bandwidth. Any suggestions?

Putfile is ideal for audio.

I've read through this thread a bit, and today, I heard of the new charecters.

To be honest, the more I hear about this game, the more horrible it sounds. The hype machine has got me, but rather that getting me excited, its got me sad. I honestly hope it turns out to be a giant prank pulled by Square, but it doesnt appear to be. sad

Thanks, Zack.

Files are re-uploaded to a new host. They should work now. sweatdrop

I find myself wishing people would provide a reason for not liking this game.

I mean so far, I do not see how there is enough to hate it. We barely know about the battle system realistically, only a handful of characters announced, and a trailer still not leaked far as I can tell.

It's all nice and fine to hate the game for some as of yet unknown reason. But if you are going to express a dislike you should at least give a reason for it. No matter how flighty and a reason it may be, otherwise you are just kind of spamming pointlessly.

Give a reason for not liking it so we can discuss it, kthx.



Lalala mentioned new characters being announced.
Does she mean that someone other then Sephiroth, Kuja, Zidane, Garland, and WoL was announced?

If so who? confused

Wasn't Chaos supposed to appear in the game as well? x3

[Anorhc]

We do not know the extent of Cosmos and Chaos' involvement in the game.

I can not help but wonder what kind of abilities some characters will have.


Let us take Vincent for example.
Vincent's abilties all summed up to him transforming.

...So how would that work out?

If this equals out to me being able to Galian beast in battle, Vincent FTW! scream


Another thing I am wondering about is the mid-air fighting thing.
I hated it in AC, I hate the idea of it here.

I am hoping that it will be more an insane jump / wall jump system as opposed to psuedo-flight.

[The First Seraphor]

I don't expect Vincent to be in it. If he is he'd probably play like DoC.

Seems like Yaoi fodder fan pleaser. While the battle system is yet unannoced, this makes me even more cynical. Why annoce the charecters before battle details? Sounds like damn fan pleaser.

It doesn't even look like theres a floor for most of the screen shots, and pretty much all of them are in mid-air. I think you might be a bit disapointed.

The big reason people aren't eager to get excited is
A. Bad experiances with the Arcade Fighter genre,
B. Lack of trust in SE to produce a good game, for personal reasons.
C. It has Sephiroth, so its bad by default.

Those will be your most likely answeres from this forum.

As for characters, each one seems to get a bit of uniqueness. Zidane obviously has Trance, and Light Warriar is supposedly noted to have a Class Change (Possibly pushing in Monk/Thief/WhiteMage/RedMage/BlackMage costume/skillsets) which easily makes Light Warriar 6 different characters skillwise, if that works out.

I suppose it comes down whose up. And mind you, although they're aiming to go beyond 10 characters, I can't imagine them having much more then a few extras. Remember, this is a fight for balance. Logic (Oh psh, who needs that, right?) would state there'd be for every character an equal opposite. I can imagine some representatives from Tactics, Tactics Advance, and maybe even a Chrono Cross cameo (Pause to imagine Chrono using Cyclone Blade with no gravity limitation, against Magus and his giant scyth.)

But beyond that? Not seeing much.

Adding in more light warriars kind of defeats this theme, but I won't complain.

But your question brings up oddpoints of what would characters from three and five do, since there are far more job classes, and no personalized abilities.

[The Pale Debaser]

Hmm, very iffy about a 3D Final Fantasy Fighting game, heck I'm not a fan of any 3D fighting game (Guilty Gear XX>>>all ;3). It looks like they're using KH2's/Crisis Core game engine, let's pray that they don't use a heavily modified KH battle system. Still early days though...

They need to have Sabin. REITERATE; SABIN.

So far it looks like more like a fighting game that is light in story.

Errr... that's what they kinda do. And how the hell did Yaoi get in to this?

Maybe they showed the charaters before the battle system because they wanted the fans to know it's not another mainstream theme they have been doing for quite a while.

Not to mention that fourms have been saying the battle system seems to be a Smash Bros brawler instead of the normal RP. So it does kinda give you some what of an idea of why kind of battle system Dissidia will have.

Words you should add to your vocabulary: Announce, Characters

Also, practically all fighting games have always announced characters before battle details, even if there are drastic changes. It doesn't make this any different at all. Even Super Smash Bros announced characters of their fighting game before the battle details for the N64. Good old Nintendo Power magazines back in the day.


And this game is totally flamboyant. You know with numerous flying in the clouds and the passionate kissing with the occasional, "I WANT YOU ALL MY LIFE" lines. Yeah, I could definitely see Yaoi written all over this. Seriously, where's the Yaoi-ness when other fighting games did crossovers? It could only be viewed in that light if YOU really want it to be so. Come on, it's just a fighting game, leave it at that. Even so, the fact that it seems like "Yaoi-fodder" does not change the gameplay in any way, which is where all arguments SHOULD be kept to.

...What?
Are you on crack?

Every single FF game could be considered a Yaoi fodder fan pleaser.

This is no exception, but you pointing it out here is nonsensical.

C. It has Sephiroth, so its bad by default.

This is the most idiotic reason to hate a game ever.
Not as much as the one above this, but close enough.



As for the lack of floors, that is rather disappointing.

I'm not exactly pleased if these characters will be flying because most of them it does not begin to make sense. Advent Children basically brought the super-fly thing out of nowhere and it did not even make sense there really.

But imagining characters like Squall, Tidus, Celes, and so on flying just seems dumb.

Excuse me, but I remember all three of those falling when jumping off buildings kthx.
