Like Heartless pointed out, it's more like a guessing game this time around. If you press the X button right away, at least you'll be right 50% of the time. You can try to see it coming, but chances are you'll already be hit by the time you gather your thoughts.Originally Posted by mineteaser

Yes, it is more or less how they say it that intrigues me.

So I have it now, haven't played it yet....I have to finish some work first. I'm definitely going to be searching for a lobby labeled TFF or make one. I'm not going to be too good, but it should be fun!

Thsu far, there is one character I can always outmanuever in chases, and that is Sephiroth. To actually see whats coming, interpret it, and have to time to move, you have to know the character so well that you recognize the very first motion you see. Not practical too learn everyone that way, so yeah, seems like they changed it intentionally to become a guessing game.

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,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.tagged just in case:
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.
Click at your own risk.:
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.

I have a question that's been bothering me for a while now. I'd look it up, but I think I'll have better luck if I just ask here, since some of you already have the game.
Ahem. How much space do you need for it on the PSP? I currently have 137 MB of space left in my Memory Stick. I deleted my old Dissidia file, thinking it might give it more space. As you can already tell, it was a bad move since the old Dissidia is 384 KB
Just wondering how much space you actually need for Duodecim?

Oh man... you really shouldn't have deleted your old data because you could import that (including all character levels) into the new game.
In any case, the save file for Duodecim is pretty small.
If you want to install data to increase load times though, it's anywhere from 384MB to 810MB. Or 816. I don't remember the exact number.

It was my second playthrough (overwrote my very first file when it got too boring). I won't miss much, though, seeing as I don't even know what I'm missing (and I'd like to keep it that way).
Nah, I don't want to install data. Didn't even want to do it for the original Dissidia since it takes a while in doing so. I prefer to just leave my UMD in the PSP and play whenever I feel like it.

Well, you do get a couple bonus accessories when you load your old data. and the Data Install helps a little with the painful loading times of a game this big. I may decide to just go ahead and get the download version of the game at a later date. Hate using UMDs now. lol.
Dissidia 012 Duodecim ~ Gilgamesh SSS Vicious lvl. 100
Got my copy couple of hours ago, so far I'm loving it, I would be still playing it if my brother didn't took my PsP.
After being pawned by Yuna, and Vaan I decided to go through the intro story. So far I've beaten Lightning's part, and did few battles with Vaan, which I have problems getting used to. Lightning's fighting style on the other hand suits me rather well as it's somewhat similar to that of Zidane which was my main character in original Dissidia.
I have yet to try out other characters, if nothing else their personality is spot on. The world map is simply gorgeous, tribute to older games. I'm also glad they decided to get rid of DP, villains, few other items as well seem noticeably cheaper which is a big plus in my book. Already bought Golbez, Kefka, Kuja, and Gabranth, can't wait to unlock museum mode to hear new quotes and music. Speaking of villains, Kefka, and Kuja seem to make a great tandem once again. I'll also have to explore possibility to make your own quests bit more. I'll give my final thought when I invest more time into it.

The design your own Quest thing is kind of cool. Wish you could use the RPG maps and make it somewhat bigger. But it is kind of fun. I've made two scenarios now that I can't wait to try out on other players.
Dissidia 012 Duodecim ~ Gilgamesh SSS Vicious lvl. 100
I bought my copy yesterday, and I am loving it. I love the addition of the assists, it really adds a new dynamic to the battle.
So far I have only been Lightning and Vaan. I like Lightning's style, but the Paradigms annoy me a bit. I stay in commando pretty much the whole time. Vaan, on the other hand, I really like. I was looking foward to playing as him, and I am not disappointed. He could easily become one of my regulars.
The one thing I can't seem to get used to is chase. It's very quick compared to the first game.
I've gotten to the part with Laguna, witty as usual, slow, but devastating, needles to say I like him. I've also just noticed, the story is set on world map of Final Fantasy I.
Has anyone else chosen the option "I've mastered the original Dissidia" while going through Kupo tutorial, that son of a bitch threw me right as Chaos, unprepared, and all.

Haven't gotten the game yet but I plan to give it a try when I do.
Let's just hope this doesn't happen while doing so. ._.

Good luck. word is, you fight him at Lv 130 with a Lv. 1 Lightning.

If you beat him you get him in Quick Battle for free lol it's pretty sweet. I lasted about a minute or so, 2000 dmg. to him, then I got raped ; - ;

Ahh, alas, it is to bad I cannot have the chance to fight him. I only have the first model Psp, but am planning to buy the ANGP, so hopefully i can play this somehow on there.

The PSP 2000 model? I have that one and Duodecim runs just fine on it. Why won't it run on yours?

Can't say, but I mean the first model that came out, I thought there was a firm-ware glitch on it that wouldn't allow newer games to be played on it?

I picked that option and faught Chaos. Got a few good hits on him, but he ultimately f'ed me up.
I've been playing it all day and I am up to Kain's chapter. Kain is really good, I am loving his Jump move. It's really good for spam damage.
I wanted an Omega weapon, but I am guessing this will do lol
I hope he isn't a pushover though...

Got it and made an attempt. He doesn't actually seem that difficult, but that's alot more health than I'm willigng to sit there and try to chip away at with a level 1 Lightning with such shitty moves. I'll call it possible, but not even remotely worth the effort. With the damage I'm dealing, I'd estimate a flawless victory in which he just stood there and took it like a bitch would still take over 2 hours just based on his defense reducing brv moves, and the level difference giving you an initial brv of like 20. If it were a lv 1 Seph with a decent moveset, I'd at least be willing to try, but as much as luck would play into this, and the sheer ammount of time I'd be wasting, I won't bother for now. I'll try it at a later date when I've gotten more used to the game maybe, but I really just don't have the patience for this. If he just had 9999 HP, I'd sit here and repeat it until I won, but for 120k, no thanks.

Actually it is just the opposite. It is the cycle before the first game.
EBG
As Atma-Noah said, it's prequel to main events of original Dissidia.
Duodecim is a massive game to begin with, it's tad complicated at first, but you should get used to it rather fast. the most important thing is to find yourself a character that suits you.I just bought the 2nd one 2 days ago, and boy do I suck at it lol. It's gonna take awhile for me to get use to the controls, but man I just keep getting my ass kicked lol.
Sig and Avy made by Unknown Entity
Anyone try playing the RPG mode? I tried it only once but could not even get close to winning, seems to add a whole different dimension to it but you must be lacking the maneuverability than the action mode.
EBG
I tried it at first, thinking it would be easier to start playing with, but man it just seems so much harder. I just switched to action-style, so I'm gonna go from there, I just wanna know what kind of RPG mode was they thinking about because that one is weird.
Also it is hard to even come close to winning with, I never won a fight playing with it.
Also for one, it made moving around a bit harder, whenever the EX core's would show up, I'd be like *Move over there dammit* and bam the CPU gets it and I'm done for...
