Blade Report post Posted November 24, 2008 HERE COMES A NEW DAREDEVIL! Shantotto from FFXI! I guess she's one of the more popular Tarutaru black mages with a mischievous "Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" Reminds me of Karin a bit. Oh yeah, and for folks who want hi rez pics, this guy's been keeping track of em: http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd352/Hitman22332233/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonMungMung Report post Posted November 28, 2008 Must mean there's a slight reason for FFXII to make an appearance. I want....whatever. Better be Balthier then (and Cid as the enemy...?) Although I think all of the protagonists so far are the main characters, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lou_Cypher Report post Posted November 28, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib3bsmIIGOM Cloud vs. Sephiroth. Notice the damage done by Supernova compared to Omnislash. Also, this battle is quite short and action-packed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkWarrior Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I've been playing it, and it's somewhat confusing, considering I don't know any japanese. I've got the core gameplay down, and am using Cloud as my main atm. Basically, mash circle for a basic sword combo, hit square to use a special ability, hit X to jump, and triangle lets you climb or surf on various things around the stage. Like one level you fight in the second-last area of FF7, where you're surrounded by lifestream, and there's a bunch of rocks. You can wall-run all the way up the lifestream wall, you can surf on a strand of the lifestream like Tidus surfing on a cable in Yuna's Wedding FFX cutscene, and you can climb/wallrun up the various rocks. If you knock an enemy into the air, you can hit X(when it prompts you to) and pursue them midair to hit them with a slash or a special ability, but they can hit X at the right time to dodge it and retaliate the same way, making for a neat midair tug of war.(think Cloud vs Sephiroth in FF7 AC) Also, if you activate 'EX mode'(sound familiar?) and knock them into midair, you can hit square(when it prompts you via a HUGE icon) to initiate your limit break/overdrive. It differs from character to character. Cloud gets Omnislash, Squall gets Lionheart, Tidus gets the Jecht Shot, etc etc. As for actually inflicting damage...I can't bloody figure it out. Sometimes your attacks do damage, sometimes they don't. I don't see a recurring pattern, except that when your attack does major knockback(like a special attack or a combo-end), it does damage. Everything else seems pointless. btw, you don't start with any of the villians. I'm not sure how to unlock them, but I have a feeling it has to do with the story mode that's in gibberish.

Lou_Cypher Report post Posted December 21, 2008 Damage done is based on your brave points above the hp bar. You gain more by using circle attacks. Your hp atttacks, if it hits, converts your brace points into hp damage. If you ever lose all your brave points due to an attack, your opponent gets all the brave points in the brave pool at the bottom center. Come on, people read the translations here didn't they?

Abominable K Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I like what I've played of it so far. I wouldn't have thought that Square would manage to successfully make a fighter as over-the-top as Advent Children. However, the one thing that bothers me is that it seems really difficult to regain momentum after a Break. The attacker is usually awarded so many Brave Points that it becomes a bit of a slippery slope to catch up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkWarrior Report post Posted December 21, 2008 A bit hard? They'll typically chop off the majority(if not all) of your health after a single break. Also, blocking/auto dodging seems...a bit broken, to me. Anything bigger than a snowball will break your guard, and the dodging is random. Thanks for the explenation though Lou, that helped loads. I figured square was the 'HP attack' button after that explenation, and now I'm doing much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blade Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I wouldn't have thought that Square would manage to successfully make a fighter as over-the-top as Advent Children. It's not entirely up to par. Omnislash Ver.5 is missing it's 'other swords', also you can't exactly hope on crumbling towers or do the scene where Cloud is using two swords and fighting on top of crumbling debris from the Shinra Tower ruins...it isn't on that stage by a long shot, since PSP wouldn't be able to handle that. But at least it's fun for a what-if crossover battle, and more or less we can probably anticipate a sequel to this, given that the FF series is far from over.

Oiboi Report post Posted December 21, 2008 I'm not a huge FF fan, but give me a chance to play with Zidane and Kuja in a fighter and I'm there. I'm seriously going to buy a PSP just for that. (Can you tell 9 was my favorite?) Anyone got Zidane/Kuja matchvids yet? I've looked around but all I can find is mostly cloud/sephiroth BS and squall and tidus... Also, that epic fail vid was hilarious. Good to see combos are crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
