Come on Square, give me Auron… It’d make up for that miserable excuse of a protagonist known as Tidus.

looks like they’re adding assists.

there’s also a vid that Gametrailers mistakenly put under the wrong name

Alright, barring a disaster, I should be getting a PSP and Dissidia FF in the next couple of weeks. Other than playing through the story, any suggestions on what to do to start out?

Sonichuman · September 17, 2010, 2:55am

I saw someone posted on 4chan that Tifa was confirmed…I scoffed and did a quick google search.

so far I’ve come with this and this. I tried trying to track down the source of the news of where they got this from and came up empty so I’m giving you guys the heads up in case you guys come across it.

Edit:

and then this…which is also trying to confirm that Aya Brea from Parasite Eve is in the game as well but that’s the alternate costume for Lightning right?

Aya costume is for Lightning.

I have been playing a little Dissidia here and there the past couple weeks, and I have ADHOC party on my PS3. Anyone wanna show me the ropes?

First, you’re going to want to get used to the battle system. Learn how to block/dodge on reaction, and find out what you can and can’t block (most HP attacks are either unblockable or cause Guard Crush). Since you’re just starting out, you won’t need to learn any of the dodge-cancelling tricks yet, so don’t worry about those.

My suggestion for a good starting character would probably be Squall. He is an absolute beast when it comes to racking up Brave points, although his HP game isn’t exactly stellar. He’s solid though, and he’ll carry you through the learning process.

Even with that though, you definitely wanna play as every character and find out for yourself who you’re most comfortable with. I jumped into the main game thinking Onion Knight was the best after using him in the demo, and I was sorely mistaken. I still like using him, don’t get me wrong, but he has to work a lot harder for his wins.

If you see me online, send me a message and we can play some matches. This goes to everyone else here, too.

And since people were pimping out Youtube channels, my own Youtube channel (located in my sig) has a bunch of Adhoc matches on it.

Awesome…the TGS trailer got put up right before I had to go into work

Sweet…now all they have to do is put in Loz so she can have her rematch…in which case she’ll get another bench kicked into her followed by a 2 piece into her body being tossed aside like garbage.

Tizoc · September 18, 2010, 1:06pm

Please include Sabin/Mash ;.;

CarpeNoctumXIII · September 18, 2010, 6:26pm

I’m not going to care about this series at all until they add Cid(FF7). Zell and Barret would be cool too,

Sensei_Rouzu · September 18, 2010, 7:30pm

There’s a command list revealed for Lightning and Kain. Want me to post them?

Saitsuofleaves · September 18, 2010, 7:35pm

Uh, go ahead?

Sensei_Rouzu · September 18, 2010, 7:52pm

Damn I’m surprised I’m the one posting all this info and I don’t even plan on buying the game.

Just as it did for Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded and The 3rd Birthday, Square Enix has released an online version of its Tokyo Game Show controller chart for Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. View it here:

The controller card shows the following controls, many (but not all!) of which you’ll recognize from the original Dissidia:

Circle: Brave Attack

Square: HP Attack

X: Jump

Triangle: Move Actions at Move Markers

L: Lock-on/off

L+Circle: Assist Brave Attack

L+Square: Assist HP Attack

R: Guard

R+X: Evade

R+Triangle: Air Dash

D-Pad: Camera Control

Analogue Pad: Character Control

Start: Pause

The gameplay basics seem to be the same – use Brave Attacks to steal your opponent’s Brave, then use HP Attacks to deal actual damage to your opponent.

You can build up an EX Guage in order to switch to EX Mode (by pressing R+Square). Here, when you strike with HP Attacks, a Square might appear on screen. Press Square at that time to perform a powerful EX Burst attack.

Combat looks like it will be cinematic once again thanks to the Move Actions and Air Dashes. Using Move Actions, which you trigger by pressing Triangle at prompts on the map, you can make your character do things like run up walls, jump between areas, and rail grind. Air Dashing, performed with R+Triangle, lets you charge at your enemy.

Those who aren’t into action games can bring up a command list to fight like a menu-driven RPG. Here, you press triangle to move, circle to fight, square for a skill and x for defense. Your character will take it from there automatically.

The character command list shows the following characters:

FFXIII Lightning (Assist: Warrior of Light)

FFIV Kain (Assist: Cecil)

FF Warrior of Light (Assist: Tidus)

FFVI Tina (Assist: Onion Knight)

FFVII Cloud (Assist Sephiroth)

FFIX Kuja (Assist Zidan)

FFII Firion (Assist Tidus)

On the chart, you’ll find Intro Mode (top), Normal Mode (center) and Hard Mode (bottom) controls. There are a few different character selections depending on the mode.

Of particular note is newcomer Lightning. Notice how she has color coded skills? You can execute an Optima Change with L+R to make her switch between Attacker (red), Blaster (blue) and Healer (green). As an attacker, she has access to skills like Smash Upper, Area Blast, Ruin and Impact Break. Blaster gives her Thunder, Fire and other spells. Healer gives her access to Cure.

As a totally new 012 feature, each character is listed with an assist character, whom you can call out for support in battle. As you use Brave Attacks, you build up your Assist Gauge. Using 1 Memory from this gauge, you can call out your assist character to perform a Assist Brave Attack (L + Circle). Using 2 Memories, you can have the character perform an Assist HP Attack (L + Square).

The assist characters perform different moves depending on if you’re opponent is on the ground or in the air. The card suggests creating original combos that connect to your own attacks.

The demo has pre-set Assist characters, but based off the wording of the control chart, it looks like the final version of the game will let you select the characters for yourself.

Leebee_Link · September 18, 2010, 10:07pm

I see that Cloud can do meteorain from the air now, and he has a new air brave attack as well

exciting~

Mr.Beef · September 18, 2010, 10:37pm

Cloud really needed another aerial HP attack that wasn’t Braver. Here’s hoping it’s good.

Graphf · September 19, 2010, 1:18pm

These games would be better and played more widely if they were on actual consoles.

To bad too because I would love to see a final fantasy fighter see a competitive scene. That would be sick. It will never happen on a hand held though…what a waste.

Should at least be on PSN/XBOX live…

Sonichuman · September 23, 2010, 8:23pm

better quality trailer

Mr.Beef · September 23, 2010, 11:50pm

Oh, you. giggle
