Since the yalam is not updating,thou shalt help him out a little...Below is the opening intro 4 dissidia(no major spoilers):Uber cool vid,take note oni the mains/villains appear from FF1-10,enjoy...For those who r interested in the battle system:A sweet video,Cloud Vs Sephiroth,one winged angel setting:How the battle systems works:
As seen in the 2nd video...the big blue numbers above each players' hp bar is their Brave Points..The amount of damage u cause is dependent on the number of brave points u hv...
By pressing the circle button,ur character will unleash a unique set of moves call BRAVE ATTACKS,be it aerial or land,both hv different animations n damage ratio.
However,the these BRAVE ATTACKS does absolutely no damage to ur opponent's health,wad it does is bascially to DRAIN ur enemy's brave points TO URS..U may ask? wad's the point? This is where a new set of moves called HP ATTACKS comes in...
HP ATTACKS is activated by the square button,same as the brave attack,each char has a unique move too..HP attacks is the only form of attack tht can deplete ur opponent's HEALTH..example if u had 100BRAVE POINTS,ur brave attack will do 100DAMAGE correspondingly,once u successfully launch a HP ATTACK,ur brave points will automatically go back down to 0.
BREAK status occurs when one character's brave point is depleted to 0,in such a case,the enemy will gain a hell lot of BRAVE POINTS which allows the enemy to do more damage with their HP ATTACKS,in the words,GG to u...
EX mode is the transcended form of each character which can be activated by pressing the R+SQUARE button when the purple gauge beside the hp bar is full...When in ex-mode,characters will be auto buffed with protect,haste etc..in addition,normal attkacks will do more damage,limit breaks will also be available now..
Above briefly sums up the battle system,hope it helps..
Conclusion(Reviews):
Dissidia is a must get PSP-game,i seriously encourage all to get a LEGIT copy of it,this is a first time SQUARE is attempting an action genre while at the same time,allows characters from different dimensions to come together n face the villains...
Techically wise,square also did a great job at optimising n brought load times to a minimal level,glitches n bugs were also uncommon.
In addtion,the CG cutscenes were superb n quality,gamelength-wise...it can potentially last several hundred of hours due to the fact tht u can continue to power level each individual char to 99 n purchase the necessary items n skills etc...A very clever idea to improve gamelength i would say n also a good mix of RPG n action.
A very big thanks to SQUARE-ENIX 4 this wonderfully crafted masterpiece..this is where Final Fantasy takes on a new name n soar once again to a greater height.
