GOD, I WANT MY NEW LEVEL CAPS NAO! I've beaten half the story lines and I STILL only have +30... ugh. I want to power level everyone already >__>

Here's my other character reviews so far:

Zidane: I really like Zidane because of his variable HP attacks and quick Brave attacks. However, his Brave attacks don't really vary, and it feels like you're using the same weak move over and over. It might change at higher levels though.

Tina: I

If it makes you feel better, Cloud isn't as good as other characters when fully leveled up.

It makes me feel a little better that I can level up a non-generic character. Most people that have this game have cloud as one of their main characters. I'll probably just wait until the english version comes out, and then I'll have zidane as my main character. Because he's awesome.

Finally, someone who's on the same page as me. I'm thinking of maining Zidane and either Tina or Frio, we'll see.

I got two questions... how do you get stronger weapons? I know they can be dropped by high-level bosses, but it's not very often... but I know you can also synthesize them. Anyone know? And 2, how do you use items? A lot of times I end up losing because I start a battle with 10% of my HP or less...

I admit that I used Cloud so much in the beginning because he was newb friendly (as was said) and he's my only lvl 100 at the moment, but I've been using Bartz (Butz) a lot lately. Maybe it's the idea that he can use other characters' moves, or maybe cause I like FFV. Regardless of the fact, the way it's going, I will definitely main Bartz. Unless I find a character that I like more later on.

 

[alex]

I just got The Emperor, but he's uber slow. I can't even get the DX Gauge filled in time before they kill me

And yeah, I actually have three strong ones, Cloud(only did story with him and dropped him) Sephiroth(got pretty good, but now annoyed), Zidane(okay character, fun to keep blasting the enemy), Cecil(story mode played, I like the other form more(never got to play a lot of FF4 on the DS, and now it's broken

), but to finish off I either use the EX Burst or Cecil's HP Attack attack).

I havn't gotten used to the others.

You gain stronger weapons by buying them in the shop (Next to last option in the customize window). But after a certain point the best weapons you gain from trading in Brave items you earn, which is difficult given the language barrier... That's really my only set back at this point.

And you mean the items in the top right of a story board? Press Square then choose the potion.

I'm leveling and trying to main Golbez. I'm loving him so far and he's only Level 5.

 

[War]

Thanks Gai, you're really helpful!

I just started messing around in the Quick Battle mode, testing out the baddies (why, Square, why?! They deserve their own storyline!) and I actually liked Golbez a lot. My only problem was that he was a bit slow... but once you get an enemy pinned, you can string a couple combos together pretty efficiently.

I also LOVE Ultimecia, but she is WEAK AS HELL. She's very fun to use, but it takes like 5 minutes to break your opponent... although I hear at higher levels she becomes very strong. My favorite move from her is her Air HP attack... you hold it dow and it creates this energy ball that keeps getting bigger and bigger... its funny if you just hold it down and chase your opponent, because they do everything possible to run away from it xD And if they touch the energy ball, they get hurt AND the ball doesn't go away. So usually I just keep ramming them with it, then launch it at them. Fun stuff.

 

[Gaisuto]

This game really needed real online...

You would have lost badly to me if there was online play.

Hell yeah, I just got her and I cornered Squall and he just couldn't move.

But then I still lost, it blew up and then he got me with an HP Attack(I was at 1HP)

 

[Gaisuto]

Okay, what are the chances someone here can tell me what this is.

I was fighting Squall in the Colosseum early as Golbez and around the 1:10 mark, you can see something happens. I have no idea what. I asked at the Dissidia GameFAQs board and no one seems to know there either.

 

[alex]

Maybe it's part of your summon? I don't know...

 

[Gaisuto]

I know Alexander, that's definitely not what it is.

 

[alex]

Well sorry! I don't even know what character your using(I don't recognize, because I havn't played every single game or played all night to get everyone)

alexander isn't even my full name, close, but think southernish.

Eep! Nonono!!! Alexander is the summon! I didn't even notice your name was Alex! No foul mean intentions intended!!!

 

[alex]

Oh, okay, sorry about that misunderstanding. It's okay.

Omg xD That was hilarious.

Hm, that's pretty strange... that never happened to me. But on the upside, nice Golbez playing! He gets some pretty awesome attacks later on, huh? (The orbs that shoot lasers = epic win)

 

[Mei-o]

This is just awesome! I played from 3 to 12 last night! Zidane has awesome combos! The damage is a bit weak but I guess that's how combos are! Terra is still my fave, gotta love those spells!

Does it really take forever to get a new HP attack? I have a lot of new BP moves but I really want a new HP move.
Yeah it takes a while. They usually come out of mastering a BP attack.

Thanks a lot! I'll be looking forward to my new HP moves then! *plays even more to gather AP*

Best. Quotes. Ever.



Gaisuto: Around what levels does Golbez gain new moves?

 

[Gaisuto]

Death by Golbez. This shit is exactly why I love him so.
