Dissidia Duodecim Announced

[Dodie16]

I got my copy fairly late last night, and I dabbled a bit in some one-on-one matches, and also a bit in the story mode.

Lightning is pretty okay to use, though I think if she would attack sooner rather than do her little battle cries or whatever she would be better. I guess that's to help even up the characters though. Also, tried out her paradigm shifts. From what I've seen so far, her Rav Magic is a little slow, and Med really only adds more bravery. I guess once you learn more things, you can do more stuff, but right now, I'm mostly sticking to her COM paradigm.

I also fought against Laguna, Kain, Tifa, and Vaan (maniken form on that character though). Laguna's shots don't seem to go very far, so when he attacks, I usually keep my distance and then move in for a hit. Not too hard. Kain is FREAKING RIDICULOUS,

tagged just in case:

and in the story mode that I'm on when you have to face him, I've had to restart the battle against him several times because he just wipes the floor with me.

Tifa is okay, not too tough but not a pushover either. Vaan likes to dodge a LOT, and he's a fast little bugger too.

Letting my PSP charge right now, then I'll get to playing some more, but that's my initial thoughts on the game/new characters so far.

Enjoyin it so far. Already been challenged by a couple of peeps that I used to slaughter on the original Dissidia. Love that you can transfer almost all your basic data, abilities, levels, PP Unlocks, and a few other things. Sure, gives me a bit of an unfair advantage over new players, but that's where Deodecim delivers; We can edit our levels down to match the opponents stats. Make it a more fair fight. They had a similar feature in Dissidia, but its got changes here. I'm happy. Also got the preorder bonus Cloud outfit from KH and the Assist Character Aerith as well. Both kick ass so far.
