Dissidia Final Fantasy/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Contested Sequel]]: ''Dissidia 012: Duodecim'', which is either [[Even Better Sequel|better]] or [[Sequelitis|worse]] than the first game.

* [[Crack Pairing]]: Cloud Of Darkness and Exdeath, mainly due to their fascination with '''[[Memetic Mutation|THE VOID]]'''.

** To top it off; ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'', the games more popular with people who aren't into ''[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VII]]'', don't get ''any'' new characters added to the roster in the sequel while ''VII'', ''VIII'', ''X'', ''XI'', and ''XII'' do. ''VI'' and ''IX'' ''do'' at least get new stages, which ''IV'', ''V'', ''VII'', ''VIII'' and ''X'' don't.

** Lightning is getting similar treatment from the developers, to the extent that people are claiming that she stole Warrior of Light's role as the de-facto leader of Team Cosmos.

* [[Fan Nickname]] - The Warriors of Cosmos and Chaos are sometimes simply called Team Cosmos and Team Chaos.

** [[Ascended Fanon]] - [http://www.gamespot.com/psp/action/dissidia012duodecimfinalfantasy/video/6297966/dissidia-012-duodecim-final-fantasy-interview-with-mitsunori-takahashi Director Mitsunori Takahashi has also used the terminology.]

* [[Fashion Victim Villain]] - The Emperor. What is he even wearing? A... four pointed cape? With a translucent pink [[Showgirl Skirt]]? Gold... is that armor? With [[Combat Stilettos]]? And the... what is that thing on the center of the cape? And the ''hair'', and the ... ''horns''?

** Subverted by [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110127162737/finalfantasy/images/a/ac/DissidiaEmperor_3rdAlt.png his third outfit] in ''012'', which looks ''a lot'' more befitting for one of his status. The hair still needs some work though.

* [[Just Here for Godzilla]] - Many players picked up ''Dissidia'' for no other reason than the coolness factor of being able to play as their favourite ''FF'' hero in a fighting game. Other people just wanted to be able to play as Kefka, Sephiroth, et al, and were disappointed at the lack of Story Modes for the villains.

* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]] - Squall and Terra ([[The Smurfette Principle|particularly the latter]]), either with one another or with the rest of the characters.

** More recently, pairing Cecil with anyone and everyone has become popular in English-speaking fandom. The fact that he's the one canonically married hero doesn't seem to stop anyone.

** And, much like Terra in the original game, Lightning's inclusion in ''Duodecim'' has helped bolster her shipping popularity.

** In short, just about every character has some potentially hilarious mondegreens, owing to the fact that the voice actors often speed up, slow down or pause unnaturally to match the timing of the Japanese lines, and the [[Calling Your Attacks|called attacks]] are often obscured by sound effects or other characters' attacks.

** A good number of examples have been compiled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOx1ghg8CMg here] for your enjoyment. Bon appetit.

* [[Most Annoying Sound]] - "Well now! Well now! Well now!"

** "Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!"

** When the game decides to give Sephiroth some decent AI, you will die. Painfully.

** Either of the two occasions when you have to fight the Emperor in Pandaemonium, which, as noted below, is ''perfect'' for him.

** In Confessions of the Creator, the Level 95 Feral Chaos. The Level 130 version is the [[Bonus Boss]], this guy is ''supposed'' to be the warm-up. The reason he's actually just as difficult if not more is that you don't have accesst to the northern gateways, so you can't farm the Lufenian equipment or top-level trade accessories (thus your equipment probably sucks), he has a unique Booster that gives him a 90x multiplier after 60 seconds, boosting his Attack and Defense by ''450%'', and unlike the Level 130 Feral Chaos who uses Level 1 equipment, the Level 95 one uses Level 90 equipment, including the Ogrenix and the Maxmillian for further boosts to his Attack and Defense. While the Level 130 Feral Chaos likes Vicious and Destroy for his basic Bravery attacks, the Level 95 one uses Brute Force, which executes pretty much as fast as Destroy and is as difficult to anticipate, but unlike Destroy, Brute Force can't be blocked. Even if you have equipment appropriate for the fight, you've only got 60 seconds to fight before that Booster triggers, at which point you'll be pretty much unable to damage him and he'll Break you in one hit.

* [[That One Level]] - Very few people are fond of the Pandaemonium, Planet's Core and Ultimecia's Castle stages, particularly the Omega versions:

* [[Vocal Evolution]] - [[Liam O Brien]] has come a long way as Kain since his overly deep-voiced portrayal in ''[[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IV]] DS''.

** JD Cullum is generally considered to have done a better job voicing Kuja in ''012'' compared to the first game.

* [[Wide Open Sandbox]] - Quick Battle Mode. Oh man, where to begin? Not only can you choose your opponent and stage, you can also adjust the level of the opponent, so if you wanted, you could set it to match your level and have an epic battle, set it to a lower level so you can [[Curb Stomp Battle|beat your opponent down]], or you can test your skills against a higher-level opponent (or face off against a crazy-high level opponent if you're a masochist). You can even change the AI's strength and behavior. The possibilities are endless!

** More than just that, the sequel has a Quest Creation mode, where you can set up to five different battles and put dialogue between each one to make it seem like a short story. You can also use the player icons you own to represent the characters talking, so you can create crazy crossovers, even between multiple incarnations of the same character, such as [[FF 7]] Sephiroth (as in his character portrait when he's a [[Guest Star Party Member]] in the original game) and Dissidia Sephiroth talking to each other. And then you can upload it on the internet for people to download it back on their PSP and play it! And besides all that, you can use it as an advanced Quick Battle - you have full control over the outfit, moveset and equipment the characters use, so you can create your ideal opponent for whatever type of battle you want, then Test your quest and fight them.

** A pretty hilarious one comes from [[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Yuffie]], as she explains the [[Randomly Drops|game's Battlegen system]]:

** Another example is the name of Ultimecia's finishing move in her EX Burst. The Japanese name was "End of Memories" to contrast the name of Squall's finishing move, "End of Heart". Squall kept the English translation of the move "Lion Heart", while Ultimecia's was changed to "Sorceress Heart"--an entirely different name than the original Japanese, but it kept the parallel between her move and Squall's.

** Also Kefka telling Zidane, in regards to Bartz' location: "I'm afraid the mouse is... SMACK!! ''(closeup)'' ''(Zooms back)'' ...dab in the middle of enemy territory!" Originally, the translation was more like "I'm afraid the mouse is in the... PAWS!! ...of the enemy!"
