If you aren't playing the jp version you could send it to me. d(^^d)

I bumped into a few problems with my import (like usual) so it's gonna take a while.



PS > I can't believe Hayashibara Megumi is the seiyuu for Shantotto.

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

Been playing for a few hours... quite a fun game.

Haven't tried the story, only quick vs battles vs the comp. It was hard to get the hang of it at first, but tons of fun once I got the gameplay down.

I just got Garland. He has finally lived up to "knocking you all down."

Man you all are so impatient. Is 6 months really that long a wait?

"Wait a minute what are you talking about Gobo?" you say. I say, that Dissidia has been given a stateside release period.

STORY

Cosmos, the goddess of harmony. Chaos, the god of discord. Reigning from distant realms, the two gods had gathered warriors from all lands to lead them in savage war.

Cosmos and Chaos were of equal strength. It was believed the conflict would last forever. However, the balance is now broken.

Those who answered Chaos's call created an inexhaustible force. And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos's favor.

The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. As for the few surviving warriors… their fates have yet to be determined.

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

I hope this deters people from importing the japanese version so I can get one already.



PS > Screw the localization.

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

You know what I just thought of as odd? While story wise it makes sense considering the events of FFXII, did anyone else catch the fact that a JUDGE is the Chaos representative for FFXII?

Even in FFXII, the Judges were a representation of Law, regardless of how skewed it may have been at the time (or not, depending on if the player actually sympathised with Arcadia, an easy conclusion to draw). Traditionally, Law was the obvious antithesis of Chaos, but I guess this time, the unintentional irony in and of itself will make for an interesting story.

Still, there's a reason why Lawful Evil exists. Judge Gabranth would indeed fit that role to a T.

Man you all are so impatient. Is 6 months really that long a wait?

So whats wrong with importing? Jealous much? Not that I need to explain but I am an avid collector and I always purchase every JP, PAL, and US FF game......so why shouldn't I enjoy playing them too?

Eat a dick, I didn't study Japanese for 4 years to wait 6 more months for every game I want to play.

So one of you who can read japanese or who have played the game can feel free to correct me, but am I watching Shantotto Spam AM?

If so, oh hell to the yes.

[Raydeus]

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

She is using good old Fire > Water > Thunder > Stone > Aero > Blizzard cycle. And she is saying things like "Burn!" (Moe yo!) when she is casting fire, and stuff.


Edit > Although she does Chainspell-Ancient while using her Break.

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

i want to have shantotto babies

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

I was being more sarcastic than anything. I mean I own Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+. I have absolutely nothing wrong with importing, I was just giving you all a hard time lol.

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

Wow, as usual the JP Voice Talent is superb ^_^

Shantotto! (Would have preferred Prishe or Lilisette but I still the wicked witch of windurst!)

[LilithAngel]

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

HAHA I do have to admit, watching that fight was indeed nice. FFX's battle music, combined with the FFXI-style menu graphics for Shantotto's move names was sweet. Did anyone else notice the Elemental Staves and that she "dinged" during the fight?
______________________________
Upon watching other videos of Dissidia, I was liking the references throughout each fight. I saw FFXI's Carbuncle (aka nuclear squirrel version) being summoned, and that whenever anyone levels, they use the FFXI "Level Up!!!" graphic we've all come to know and love. The music selections are pretty nice too, drawing from The Black Mages as well as new remixes of other songs (let's just hope The Star Onion Brigade got a chance to throw some mixes in as well).

Overall, looks like a nice package.

Re: One more Dissidia Character is revealed.

Meh screw it. This guy I was going to buy the game from failed miserably.



Can anyone recommend me a good e-bay seller (usually from Hong Kong aren't they?) I can buy the game from?
