I'm thinking about my decks for this month being Auron and Tidus from FFX (maybe also Yuna).
Tidus' deckname would be Zanarkand (for the sole reason that if Wakka is ever to come, he should be Blitzball 8D; Tidus has good alternative decknames). I'm not sure about Auron yet since Guardian is gone but I'm thinking about either legend / legendary (lol, I have to think of Barney Stinson here) or bushido, Yuna would be summoner. xD Gah, it's hard to decide which characters to choose, but these should do for now... hoping the others get donated!

I'm also thinking about whether I should really already make Tidus and Yuna, because they'll be in Dissidia 2 and there's bound to be some more cool pics of them out by then! XD; But then again there is plenty of them around from the main game, so...

Oo, FFX. :D

Oh, Yuna will be in Dissidia 2? (I didn't think there'd be a Dissidia 2, haha). They can be in a Dissidia 2 special deck instead. XDD Is there any art out for Dissidia 2 yet? And yeah, there is plenty of nice images from the main game, and even FFX-2...

I know it because a friend's totally hyped about it and told me lots. xD;

I think there's no art of Yuna out there yet... some magazine scans are out like Squall's new totally gay outfit haha. People know Yuna's going to be in there because she briefly appears at the end of the newest trailer, we get to see her shoes and skirt. xD But to be honest I haven't watched it myself either yet. Here's the first one apparently:

The new characters so far are Kain, Laguna, Lightning, Yuna, Tifa and Vaan (who needs Vaan lol! XD But I guess he is the main character :P ... )

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Dissidia_012_Final_Fantasy_Render_Images

Some pictures. Look at Squall XDDDD

If I hadn't been searching for FF13 stuff, I wouldn't have known about Dissidia 2 at all. Lightning looks cool. :D

Oh whoa, Laguna? I see we have more girls too. Haha, Vaan. XDD But he's cuuuute.

I only managed to max out Onion Knight. XDD I wonder if I'll ever get Dissidia 2, and if I do, who I'd use. XD

Squall?? Ahahaha! XDD That one with the cloth on the side (and bare arms) is very, how should I put it... I feel like I've seen that kind of outfit before. With females.

She does 8D

Laguna's cool, but I wish Seifer would be in there too. =/ Japanese Vaan isn't as bad as the english one! XD

I haven't maxed out anyone yet. When I played it in japanese, I only finished 2 or 3 storylines before quitting and now I'm currently at 5 or something... xD I'm loving Kuja right now, can't wait until I can finally play his story.

Lol, yes, it looks like a female costume! XD

Dissidia 2 is actually a prequel to the story. I guess there's a lot of stuff they can expand on... like Jecht, who was still on Cosmos' side. I wonder how they will explain why the new characters don't appear in Dissidia anymore. XD Killed off? Lol...
But the Dissidia story is strange anyway... kinda random. I love how they're tossing roses around xDD

The japanese voices are awesome, I only know those, never played the english version (I downloaded an UNDUB version now xD). There are Hikaru Midorikawa as Firion, Akira Ishida as Kuja, Jun Fukuyama as Onion Knight... and of course Takahiro Sakurai as Cloud etc... xD I do miss Tidus' english voice though, I'm so used to it!

I actually finished all the storylines, though I didn't complete them very well. Kuja is cool! XD He's the second character I tried to max out. I don't think I managed to before I stopped playing.

A prequel? :O I never would have thought that. A prequel doesn't make sense to me, especially with the new characters (where did they disappear off to later then?). XD;

Ishida Akira was one I immediately recognized when Kuja started speaking. XD; And Romi Park. I'm not at all familiar with who's behind the English voices...

Are the villains playable in storymode once all heroes are finished? I noticed that there's a slightly different fanfare when I win with Kuja (tried him out at a quick battle), guess that applies for all villains haha?
Playing Kuja is so hard o.O I hope he gets new attacks soon because it's really hard to do LP damage ... I'm bad with Firion as well. Until now, I was best with Zidane xD (I played Cloud, Cecil, Tidus, Firion and Zidane's storymodes so far)
I wonder if I'm doing it wrong because when I play quick battles I lose more often than I win, it's so frustrating sometimes! I'm no good at blocking or evasion at all xD;

Haha, yes, Akira Ishida and Romi Paku are so noticeable! I think I also recognized Jun and Hikaru... I only know Tidus is voiced by Johnny Young Bosch and Yuri Lowell voices someone as well... but I'm not familiar with english voice actors at all. xD I only know Quinton Flynn and Crispin Freeman by name besides those two haha!

There's one extra storyline that you can choose any character to play as after you beat everything. (or maybe there was more? I don't remember, haha) But using the villains was hard with them starting at level 1. XD;

I just float around with him. |DDD I couldn't figure out how to use Zidane. =P I'm pretty bad with him!

I've only heard of Johnny and Crispin Freeman. XDDD They seem to be in a lot of roles.

Whaaat, how boring... I thought there would be a storyline for each villain, too! (Though that would have been strange now that I think of it, would they have had the final battle against their rival and then be... defeated lol?) :( I can't imagine maxing them out from lvl 1 X_X; did you play against other players too?

Floating around is fun. Got, he's so... gay. xDD Today, I did a quick battle with each character I know so far against themselves. Kuja vs Kuja was funny with them floating around and laughing at each other. XD

Zidane is easiest so far IMO xD I love how quick he is and that he's great in the air. Character-wise I like e.g. Cloud more. When I played Cecil against himself, computer!Cecil totally beat me... a lot of times. xD

Yes... Crispin Freeman is Albel! XD And Quinton Flynn is Axel from KH or Reno. XD And Yuri Lowenthal is e.g. Sasuke. XD

A storyline for the villains would have been cool... but there wasn't. XD; It would have been a little weird though, to train and train and then get defeated at the end. XD I only played a little against my brother, and I lost all the time. He was mostly using Terra. I was using Kuja against him. It was really funny because Terra would say, "Get away!" and Kuja somehow always said, "I'm not letting you get away!" at just the right time. XDD

Hahaha, I know right? But that's what I like about him. So... flamboyant. And pretty. XDDD

I don't know, maybe I'll have an easier time with Zidane now that I know the controls better. XD I was using him as my second character through those Odyssey things. I still didn't know the controls very well then. XD; But I felt like I was mashing a lot of buttons and not doing much damage... Onion Knight actually doesn't do a lot of damage, but I liked his combos and that he can do either magic or physical attacks.

It would have been funny to be in their shoes. I mean, you would lay traps for the poor heroes and there are even cutscenes where they walk off without doing anything because another villain takes over. But I was looking forward to see more of Kuja and especially how his standing in his own crew is since the guys from Chaos look down on him. So much potential there!

I like him too, he's probably my favorite out of the villains. Then comes Sephiroth... then Jecht and I don't care for the rest (well, the Emperor seems interesting).

I feel so overwhelmed sometimes with all the different things you have to press. xD; I'm already having a hard time now in the beginning with just a few moves for everyone, lol. I don't know, I wasn't bad with beat em ups but here you have much more to look out for like the area, etc.
Odyssey things? I've only done story mode and quick battles so far. xD Back in the day, some friends were playing Dissidia too, but it was actually demotivating me because they were hardcore players and I hardly ever won since I was still at the beginning. %D
I feel like mashing a lot of buttons often lol. When I was playing at Kuja, he had about 1500 HP because of his equipment. I played and played a long battle, and he was around half his HP and the opponent Kuja at only 400. And then I saw... that 400 was his max HP, I hadn't landed a single HP hit on him until then!!! xD;; So frustrating lol.

That would have been hilarious, hahaha. Laying traps! It'd have been fun to play from the villains' side. :3

I like Kefka as a villain, but he freaks me out. XD; I also don't understand his movements at all.

Ah, I mean the story mode! Each character has their own story mode, right? I'm terrible at fighting games, but I tried to clear all the different levels. XD; My items were terrible... I tried to replay levels later on to earn better items/equipment, but that got frustrating. I then stopped playing. XD;

Ahahaha, that is frustrating! XD I played a very long battle once where I couldn't beat the enemy at all (my brother left a very difficult ghost of Terra for me to beat in multiplayer). I tried sooo hard for soo long and ended up getting killed in one shot. >__> It was sad.

Yeah, I'm still a bit surprised you can only train them in quick battles. I mean, won't that take an eternity...? X'D

Kefka is an amusing villain, but he's really creepy... I hated him in FF6. And it's so strange there seems to be so much Kefka/Kuja out there, gah! XD

Oh, yes, the destiny odysseys xD I thought maybe there was something else too, because you said second character (didn't think you were talking about the order/sequence). I stopped playing so early xD;

I still don't get why the computer can kill you so easily with just one hit. It always takes so long to break their motivation until they take as much damage, but vice-versa they do hit my character hard even if their motivation is still up sometimes. :/

BTW, I'm not sure if you're online until then but I'm going to write a shipping manifesto now and I thought it would be good to have someone read over it, especially since I'm not native english? X3 So I was wondering if you'd do that 8D

It does take forever... XD But if you're really good, you can fight tough enemies for more experience!

What, there's a lot of Kefka/Kuja out there??? 0____0;; I haven't looked... XDD But that's a weird pairing.

I'm online now? (after a lot of hours, haha) Do you still need someone to read over it? :3

... somehow I'm not looking forward to that lol! Hoping I get better at playing this game soon xD

Yeah, I've stumbled across it when I was looking for Dissidia fanfics xD

Yes please x3;; I'm still working on it (linking everything etc.), I'll send you the text. It's over 5000 words long though %D ... but you can just look at as much as you want to if the whole thing's too much lol!

BTW, I played some more! I think I might be slowly getting the hang of it. Finally, the tutorials about blocking and evading appeared, so I tried the first few times now lol! Can't believe I never did that before, it's so much easier xDDD (I didn't know you have to push into a direction too when pressing R + X )
I also know why the enemies sometimes kill you immediately... when the brave points of a character are higher than the opponent's current LP, he'll get KOed with one hit! I guess I never paid enough attention to the brave points until now xD I'm also still not sure what those brave points in the middle mean, I guess they're the base points or something...? 8D

The brave points in the middle can be earned from getting your opponent's bravery down to 0, I think, if I'm not remembering wrong. XD; Once you break their bravery, you earn all the bravery points. That's what I always try to go after, and that's why it's so scary when someone gets your bravery down to 0 and does a brave break on you. XDD

Bravery is important, haha! XD I didn't know about it during my first characters and kept getting killed, but I learned later.

Ohh, I see. Hmh, I think you can brave break someone and then the brave points keep decreasing, right? And if you brave break them while they have 0 points already you get everything, interesting. xD
I also noticed that during the EX-Mode outbursts, you win brave points while your opponent loses them (but mostly, after the Ex-Mode finishes you don't have that huge amount anymore).

I just learned a nice trick, I don't know if you know it already: fight Ex-Death in a quick battle, you should set his level as high as possible while fighting level 1, then equip that Magic Pot Esper. On a high level, he should have over 6000 LP and a lot of brave points. Wait until he gets enough brave points so the pot puts them on you, then quickly LP-attack him and you should get a huge amount of EXP. Since you can kill him with one hit if your brave points are over 6000 and you get the amount of EXP for the LP damage multiplied by the bonus of level difference. Even better when it's bonus day, bonus with the chocobo, bonus EXP accessoires equipped. Supposedly, it's about 10 level ups! And apparently if you set his difficulty to hard and give him better armor, it's even more. xD I guess one could max out the characters pretty fast like that!

OK, I'll stalk you on MAL >D I feel strange when I comment everywhere in the community about the most different topics lol!

I think so!

*cough* I have uh, fought some really tough opponents in multiplayer mode and made it so that they didn't have any equipment or attacks so that I could defeat them and gain lots of experience. XDDD (They were still hard to beat though, since they can dodge like crazy!) I don't think I fought Ex-death like that before. XD

Haha, we're now comment threading in a mod pay post. XDD

Oh and I've been wanting to ask... do you have a myanimelist account? XD

Oh yeah, I do! Here. I update my list a lot, though I never comment in forums. XD

I just watched the trailer... I still don't know what "story" there'd be. Didn't everything end nicely last time? XD;

But eee, Japanese voices! I didn't get to hear Japanese voices before. Wow, I recognize a few of these voices right away.

(And I'll try to use as less as possible from FFX-2 D:< Because I always like to block it out in my mind %D And I think the Yuna from there wouldn't really fit into a deck with her from FFX at all either :/ )

Really? You didn't like that game? XDD I haven't played it, but I thought it was... interesting.

I only played it a bit at a friend's and watched her play, but it's like... Sailor Moon and Barbie altogether or something. xD I hate how they "revamped" Rikku and especially Yuna, it's totally a game for the male audience and teenie girls IMO XDDD
