Sephiroth steals a rose from Firion.

...I don't know why.


*Gasp*
The dastard!

Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire.

Imagine every FF protagonist contemplating the meaning of dreams, friendship, purpose, and destiny in literally every scene they're in. Often in tandem with each other. Also, only one villain has any sort of real plan.


I see.
I can tell how bad it is then.

Plus, it just can't be helped!

What was so bad about Kuja, exactly? I've only watched Squall's and Tidus's cutscenes.

Kuja's voice is terrible, otherwise he's pretty much the same. Isn't any worse than he usually is!

Kuja hypes himself up then gets all depressed real quick, it made me go, why beat up on him?

He tells it like it is.

Kuja is pretty fun to play, though, so he at least has that going for him.

so's zidane, but man squall feels clunky, nomura ias maybe, but tidus and zidane feel much more fluid.

Kuja is possibly the biggest manipulator in the FF series, but in Dissidia everyone calls him worthless and none of his plans work out. And he loses every fight he gets into.

Man whatever you think he was competent in FFIX, but in Dissidia he just plain isn't.

Also, the thong is not something that was meant to be seen up close.

I think Terra and Squall are the only ones who canonically never lose a fight, if I remember correctly from reading about this on the FF Wiki.

No. Neither do Sephiroth or Zidane. I think the only person that loses every fight is Kuja.

Terra got owned in the storyline enough times to more than make up for her technically never losing a fight.

Kuja is the same in Dissidia as he was in FFIX, really. They didn't ruin him at all. That's true of most of the characters in the game. All they did was rip them from their game, keep their same problem or flaw, and then by the end have them overcome it. Woo.

This, of course, is why Kefka and Garland are the best.

LeonhartFour | Posted 1/30/2010 4:12:36 PM | message detail
Yeah, I think they do a decent job of keeping the characters in character. They just don't do a good job making them interact with characters from other games. There's a reason why crossover fanfictions are awful!

Garland was pretty average, man. He might have been better if his destined rival wasn't the Warrior of Light who freaking never shuts up.

Speaking of the Warrior of Light, amendment to the Zero Law: the WoL *does* know what he's fighting for and relentlessly informs everyone of it.

Zidane and Bartz did interact well enough, but Squall with Cloud in anything is just not cool, 2 guys who don't like talking......wow.

None of them are obvious. Sure, some are more one sided, but none of them are 100% givens.

No wonder Kefka did so well on Arthas. He's ****ing awesome in those cutscenes.

Now I want to play Dissidia just to experience the wonky storyline. Too bad I don't have a PSP!

When the game's closest parallel has the Story Mode of Subspace Emissary, Dissidia looks like a work of literary genius.


Subspace Emissary is only better because the characters don't speak. It would be equally terrible if they did.

So what badass pairings happen in Dissidia? Brawl has Samus/Pikachu, Mario/Pit, Meta-Knight/Lucario, etc. Dissidia has, what, Bartz/Zidane from what I gathered in those awesome cutscenes?
