That was the animation for her every spell in FFXI, so you can't blame them for the homage.

He seems to be almost randomly entwined with Tidus.

Firion <3 Tidus am confirmed?

Mateus sounds a lot like Snake. Let's hope he doesn't end up overpowered.

Whoa... I sure hope the rest of the music remixes are as good as this one, because that was superb.

Regarding the battle... I know it was Level 1 vs Level 1, but I would've liked to see some Riot Sword happening there. Also, I was surprised at the distinct lack of Fire attacks for Terra, considering it's the only element she learns naturally as far as I can tell.

I guess while I'm posting anyway... who's considering importing this?

EDIT FOR SQUALL VIDEO: Ah, now THAT was more like it! The Terra/Terra one was too one-sided. This was more exciting, and the AI Squall actually got their Ex-Mode in this time. Also: I guess we have it confirmed that battle music is based on characters and not levels. That was the same arena used for Onion Knight vs CoD, but the music track was "The Extreme" from FF8.

HAH! BLONDE TERRA SUCKS

Is the version of The Extreme in the Squall VS Squall video an arrangement, or is it taken from FFVIII? I can't tell.

~~It's the Black Mages version. I... listen to it fairly regularly.~~ Upon further inspection.... nope, it seems to be just the regular one. They sound remarkably alike. *blush*

Another thing: Squall doesn't run like a girl, what the hell was the guy talking about?

EDIT: Oh, and is the AI terrible, or is the player just good?

Regulus Tera · 12-17-2008, 03:08 AM

These battles seem to be Level 1 against Level 1, meaning some motherfucker already has the game. I imagine Level 1 AI is not something to be proud of.

EDIT: Yup, it's already online. Fucking pirates.

I find the two dimensional static summons to be rather jarring against the rest of the graphics/gameplay.

They probably should have just left them out if that's all they were gonna do with them.

It doesn't bother me since I played the shit out of III, IV, V and VI, where the summons were static too. I think it's a nice tribute to the early days.

To access Shantotto and Gabranth's special storyline, you do have to complete story mode at the least. Also, completing story mode will open up a special mode called Duel Coliseum where you are given a random "fight card" of opponents to battle. The "fight cards" change depending upon what day it is and which day you select as your "Special Day" when first starting the game will come into play.

Also, the guide ranks the characters' Story Modes, so if you're still trying to decide who to start with, this may help. Number of stars indicates the level of difficulty.

★ - Cecil and Cloud

★★ - Firion and Tidus

★★★ - Squall and Zidane

★★★★ - Onion Knight and Bartz

★★★★★ - Warrior of Light and Terra

Fuckin' Cloud gets all the breaks....

Yeah, see, the thing about those games is that a 2D static sprite being superimposed over other 2D sprites, half of which were ALSO static, is not a jarring disconnect from the flow of the game.

In a game where everyone is running around in 3D pissing armageddon all over the place, a little poster of, say, Bahamut being stuck over their faces is just... weird.

A nice tribute to the early days was things like... putting those characters in, and giving them their proper personalities, and what not. Maybe actually basing the appearance of the summons off their earlier conceptions, as opposed to FFX's. Choosing to put a completely out of place static graphical effect into the game isn't a tribute. It's just lazy.
