I'm not sure Gackt is in a place in his career where returning to that role would suit him. I might be wrong, but I can't really see it, given his recent activity.

Because of everything we've already discussed? Poorly recorded VA, with shitty out-of-place sound effects? Stoic animation with low keyframes and snappy movement? Because of their proportions, and overtly low-poly design? They just look wrong *shrugs* You can let bias blind you, or you can...

(ties into the fact that I absolutely detest guest characters in any game. I can forgive Rachel and Momiji, because Gaiden and DoA are so tightly wound anyway, but if they were to pull, say, Lu Bu or Xingcai - big fucking no no.)

As for actually playing them, as I say - I have no issues with their move sets or their frame data. Characters like Akira and Jacky are a pleasure to fight, for the challenge and the differing styles. But they look, move, and sound completely wrong for the DoA aesthetic. They might have had work...

Assist broke the game in ways EX never had the chance to. Endless, unavoidable damage that triggers literally by running away constantly? Err, okay.

Agreed. Let's face it, Dissidia was only ever an excuse to recreate the Advent Children Cloud vs Sephiroth fight. As soon as they tried shoehorning a story into that mess, it went horribly wrong.

Rerecording the VA, drop the silly sound effects from their moves, rework the models so their proportions fit the rest of the cast, and their animation trees carry the same number of points, rather than being so stoic and framey. You know, like, make them DoA5 grade, rather than VF5 grade. Big...

Copy paste audio samples and static animation trees don't help their case. I love them as characters, but the team should've reworked their assets to make them better fit the art style of the engine, and the aesthetic of the game. They stick out like a sore thumb, and not because of their move...

Same for the UK client too.

On a conciliatory note, Ramza from Tactics has been confirmed as being on the roster of 50 odd characters. Nice to see them expanding beyond the numbered titles this time. Here's hoping for some of the Deepground from Dirge of Cerberus.

1.02A patch notes up - http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/doa5/lastround/info_ver.1.02A_x.html

Does anyone not? Ayane should've played less hard to get. Cat got the cream instead :p

Official press releases in English bound to appear later, but in the mean time, sites like Dengeki are carrying first coverage of today's closed conference. One has to wonder if this is why release support for Last Round has been so poor. Does anyone who knows the TN team, know just how much...

I correct myself - Team Ninja specifically are working on Dissidia, rather than TK in general. 1 year arcade exclusive, Sony also on board.

Tecmo Koei involved in the development of the new Dissida... lolwot? o_0

Dissidia Arcade conference today. Fingers crossed for a PS4/bone announcement as well.

I stand corrected.

You know, it probably wouldn't hurt the game's image if that happened to be the outcome. I can see the spamtaku clickbait headline now - 'shocker, DoA photo contest not won by bewbs!'

"Twist the knife. Don't just tickle him with it, twist the damn thing!" :p
