TOnberrys are a pain in the ass!
I think, they were in Crisis Core too... Can't remember that well anymore, because the last time I played Crisis Core was... anytime in year 2009.....

They certainly were! You even had a Tonberry as a summon monster!

How are you getting on with FFXIII Ayako?

Right! I knew they were there!

That's a good question!

I haven't played since last time... I wanted to play it this weekend but got carried away by other things....

Anyone have any idea what comes with the Legacy Edition of Duodecim?

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #985 on:** January 25, 2011, 04:53:08 PM »

^ Are you talking about the EU one or the Japanese one?

Tuffty · « **Reply #986 on:** January 26, 2011, 01:50:03 AM »

Nothing I've heard of yet. Can't imagine it being anything other than artbook, mini-CD and art prints that SE do for other special editions of games.

Was talking to a friend of mine about the FFXIII soundtrack when he reminded me that the composer, Masashi Hamazu, left the company. In my mind it can only leave one suitable candidate, Takeharu Ishimoto, who did the soundtrack for Crisis Core. He's a guitarist so he's pretty good at handling the known songs of FFVII but his original guitar themes are also handled down to a tee:

And he's pretty good at the orchestral stuff as well, making an awesome version of One Winged Angel:

Takeharu Ishimoto is as well the Composer for the Dissidia OST!

I love his music! So great... I love the Crisis Core OST! T_T It gives the game the feeling in the right time at the right place!

Just when you thought Dissidia Duodecim couldn't get any better:

Quote

There's a whole lot more to Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy than just fighting as your favorite Final Fantasy characters. For the PSP sequel, Square Enix has added a bunch of new modes that will expand the play experience even further. Weekly Famitsu and Famitsu.com have details on three of these: Party Battle, MogWeb, and Original Quests.

ORIGINAL QUESTS

The new Original Quest mode lets you create customized quests. You can give your creations a name and add multiple battles and between-battle events.

Battles can be chosen to be round-based or elimination style. You can specify precise conditions for victory -- things like "win within 3 minutes," for instance. You can also create original rules, making it easier to build up your EX gauge and increasing critical hit rates, for instance. These original rules, incidentally, can be applied outside of the Original Quest mode.

For events, you can set the background, background music, and even choose character icons for dialogue boxes. Some of the icons shown in Famitsu look like the original Final Fantasy sprite art. The magazine suggests attempting to recreate scenarios from the original source material.

You have access to a Test Play button from the edit screen, so seeing how well your creation works should be easy.

MOGWEB

MogWeb is tied into quest creation in that it can be used to download and upload quests. You can search for user uploaded quests by popularity or arrival order. You can also choose to exchange quests with a particular friend by first exchanging the 12 digit friend code that's visible at the bottom of the MogWeb interface screen. By publishing your friend code online, other players will be able to search for your quests and download them.

The MogWeb interface also shows options for "Net Surechigai" (tag mode) and "My Page." The former allows you to do tag mode style data exchanges via the internet -- useful for those who probably won't be passing by other players any time soon. You can do up to four exchanges per day.

The Original Quest mode creation interface has an "Edit Lock" option. I'm assuming this allows you to lock off your creation from being edited by players who download it through MogWeb.

PARTY BATTLE

Party Battle is a free battle mode where you form a five member party and face off against another five member party. You can set each of your characters with a job, which changes their abilities. These types of party battles will also appear in the game's story mode at times.

In an interview with Famitsu this week (posted at Famitsu.com as well), director Mitsunori Takahashi said that Party Battle was implemented with the goal of allowing players to create their dream party combinations. You can even give your creation a name, he noted. Your "Friend Card" player data card can have this party attached to it.

Source

Custom quests? That you can share online? The possibilites sound really cool, the fact you can even add narrative into it between fights sounds so cool. I'd love to see JPH!P members share some of their own creations here!

There's also confirmation of future DLC in the form of costumes and music.

And, as if it wasn't enough characters have more than one costume some can be seen here

So it's all of that with this cast:

And it's not even the final listing yet. Epic just doesn't describe it.

*drools over this news*
Can't wait... for my copy to arrive....

EternalSkies · « **Reply #993 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:00:27 PM »

I sooooo can't wait. Just waiting for the websites I normally buy off to get the Legacy prices up so I can see which site is better to preorder from.

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

The Demo of Duodecim (Duodecim Prologus) will be released at the same time in the US and EU PSN Store!!!

The correct date isn't announced yet...

Tuffty · « **Reply #995 on:** February 03, 2011, 09:52:11 PM »

Question now is, do I want to pay for a demo, albeit one that grants you access to Aerith as a support character in the full game?

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #996 on:** February 03, 2011, 10:09:09 PM »

I would answer to that question like this:

If you're an Aerith Fan, do it! If not, don't touch it! xD
But if you're a Lightning-Fan, it MAY BE something for you... If not.. scratch that too!
I myself watched Prologus on YT.. somebody uploaded it there... And it was ok. But really Lightning-centric!

EternalSkies · « **Reply #997 on:** February 04, 2011, 06:53:15 PM »

I'm probably gonna get it

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #998 on:** February 05, 2011, 05:34:50 PM »

I played today a little bit of FF XIII... but not too much ><
I just beated all the monsters in Ch. 10 that were in my way to gain CPs, so I can complete all the mains from all the characters... I must do that or I can#t beat the god damn guy!

Tuffty · « **Reply #999 on:** February 05, 2011, 06:39:55 PM »

^ Told you it would be hard!
