Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy continues Squeenix's tradition of stupid titles

[Nique]

The 9999 HP cap is gone. Your health can now go into the quintuple digits, but the 9999 BRV cap appears to be remaining in place, meaning no more oneshots.

That sounds.... dissastifying.

Better for balance, though. Summons like Tiamat and Ifrit become far less gamebreaking, and encourages going on offense to make a comeback more of an option over running and turtling in the event your opponent racks up the dreaded 9999 BRV.

Uping the HP cap to 99999 while keeping the BRV cap at 9999, was a nice way to balance things out. Making one hit kills less likely to happen.

Everything I'm reading points to them making the game much more aggressive, which is aces in my book. The major balance tweaks are certainly going to make videos more interesting to watch. I always wondered why they bothered to include any land at all with how little people used it in Dissidia. Watching everyone float and shoot off spells or menace the air got boring after a while.


Edit: P.S. It's going to be ad-hoc again. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/201...ssidia_spring/

Yup. Oh well.

You bustas need to get set up with some Xlink Kai before Duodecim comes out. At least a small NPF player community for us to goof around with would be pretty rad.

Cheapest way to do it without modding your PSP if you don't already own a PS3.

If you own a PSP, there's very little reason you shouldn't already own a PS3.

Not with the Move out now!* (I'll take my advertising payment in either cash or check form.)


Joking, but seriously, especially with the PSP's library being small for the longest time, unless you already had a 360 and just needed to throw some money away, you probably bought a PSP because you'd already gotten a PS3. Sony sold its current generation on future potential. Heck, the PSP still has a small library. At least compared to the cheaper, more popular DS. It's getting more reasons to buy it, but the one of the biggest will still be the stuff it can do with a PS3 for quite a while.

I got a PSP for specific games on the PSP because for some time the PS3's library was even worse than the PSP's. It's better now, but I still don't have a PS3. Also, PS3's be expensive a fuuuuuuck.

Naw bro, I only bought a PSP for Kefka.
