A new dissidia? If this turns out to be true and not some kind of ugly hoax I would sell my soul in a heart beat for it to come to consoles.

That trailer was hype!

A little disappointing that it's Arcade only atm, but if there's enough demand it'll probably get ported to PS4(and MAYBE Xbox One but less likely).

Dat Lightning though <3 I've fallen in love all over again.

I don't have particularly high hopes but I do hope Ramza can make the cut

He's not particurly powerful, but like everyone else he was able to mix match classes to become dam terrifying. my friend turned him into a high level dragoon/mechanic/ninja which made him able to jump on trees while dual wielding pistols gunning everyone down since his range and angle was so good from being in a dam tree.

I'd like to see any sort of representation for the Tactics series. Ramza and Agrias are up near the top for sure.
Geez, I'll take Marche if I have to.

On the note of multi-class characters, I wasn't particularly fond of Vaan's execution in Duodecim. Lightning (minus the medic paradigm) and Bartz were better IMO.

Now then, can we get a Prishe/Kain/Gilgamesh confirmation?

still waiting for Ashe, Fran, Rikku, Paine, and Fang all to be playable pls.

I'd like to see another XIII rep to complete the paradigm system, although Syn/Sen/Sab sounds like a terrible moveset.

I doubt we'll see any more XII reps, and the only X reps I can see being added are Auron or Paine for the fan appeal.

At this point, I want them to add more villains. Maybe Caius, Seymour, Wiegraf, or Xande. That and some more magic-oriented heroes.

Jokes on you. I borrowed a friend's copy.
Still bought XIII, though.

Was it just me who was disappointed by the gameplay of XIII/XIII-2?
Haha as if I had a friend who played XIII-2.

What did you find disappointing about the gameplay?

I was disappointed too. With the combat, that is.

When I saw the FFXIII trailer I thought it would be an action RPG like the Tales of series or at least Kingdom Hearts, Nope, it's ATB menu combat. And you can't even move around unless there's a command for it. I like turn-based combat just fine, but ATB has to be the worst implementation of it. It's also real grindy especially when it came to boss battles since you had to level up otherwise they could OHKO you. I was really glad that Lightning Returns was somewhat of an action RPG with actual button presses.

What was good about the combat system was Paradigm Shifts and elemental weaknesses. That really helped with the monotony of the gameplay.

Still hate the Crystarium though. It's a terrible skill tree system with absurd point costs (which results in the terribad grinding). Dungeons was ehh. If there were puzzles or story quests included it would have helped a lot instead of a line of enemies to rush through to get to the next cutscene.

I hope and pray FFXV doesn't have as frustrating a leveling system. It's an open world action RPG so it's already a plus from me.

This is pretty much it.

Yeah, gameplay wise I can't stand XIII... but I freaking love literally everything else about it.

Lightning Returns gave me literally nothing to hate
  • YOu play as Lightning from start - finish
  • It has a deep refreshed Stagger system that pushes for tactical attacks and encourages being skillful
  • Manual block
  • Thanks to the Schema(Customisation) you can resuit Lightning to be literally any class for any situation.
  • It's challenging and Hard mode is a bitch
  • a NG+ actually worth replaying (Hard mode and upgradable weapons/accessories)
  • Fantastic side missions that were interesting
  • Great hidden dungeon
  • fantastic cast of bosses, Caius being a total badass as always and completely wrecked me my first playthrough

Honestly don't understand why LR still gets alot of hate

Well...I love fang and hate lightning. So I didn't really care about the sequels.


Anyways, in Dissidia, they need to have Fang and Freya.

actually (Been playing polearms characters in the Warriors games), they need to make a Final Fantasy Warriors or something.
