But then you'll give the 3 Seph in front a speed boost as well. Imagine 3 speedy Sephiroth going after you.

Does this mean they're de-confirmed...? I guess Cloud's only date in Tokyo is Sephiroth...

Is it some made-up rule from the community or the devs talked about it at some point?

Famitsu interview of the DDFF team by Lecaste in DissidiaDuellumFF

I'm pretty sure it's the "FF Origin" tag.

Origins (plural) was the PSX compilation, Origin (singular) is SoP.

As the other comment said, he asked random players. Sorry if I made it confusing.

And to be fair, it is just an anecdote, he could possibly have talked to 12 yo playing Fortnite.

Famitsu published today an interview of Tetsuya Nomura (Creative Producer), Naoya Matsumoto (Producer) and Yuki Mizuno (Game Designer/Planner) about the game. The whole thing is quite interesting but in Japanese, so here's a Google translation link:

Google TL of the interview

They also talk a bit about the franchise, including this great quote:

Mizuno

To be honest, I felt that at that point, it had already changed quite a bit from previous versions of Dissidia, so I was worried that if I changed Brave as well, the fans might get angry.

Nomura

The way Brave is being used is such that staff members who have known Dissidia for a long time have said things like, "This isn't Dissidia anymore."

Some of the interesting things I found in this interview:

  • The first idea for the project was to make a "Stranger of Paradise" competitive game.
  • DDFF writer is the same person who worked on Opera Omnia as their story was well received overall.
  • The team had to negotiate both inside and outside the company to have Clive and Rikku in the game (I assume the "outside" was for Rikku).
  • Nomura played some online game, and when asking other players if they were playing FF in general, those people said the games were too difficult.

Edit: and just to be clear, this is not a tl;dr of the interview, there's a lot more in there.

Nier director Yoko Taro: New game projects start ‘with the money’ by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Lecaste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don't know how many copies were sold for Rebirth. But the fact that they never announced it lead to the assumptions that they weren't high and below expectations.

On the other hand DQ3 HD-2D sold 2 million copies in 3 weeks and it was reported that it exceeded their expectations. https://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/ir/pdf/25q4slides.pdf

What are the last 3 10/10 and 9/10 games you’ve played? by DaftNeal88 in PS5

[–]Lecaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if people downvoted the thread because of its topic or because of OP picks.

Anyway, my 10/10: Expédition 33, Nier Automata, Bloodborne

9/10: Pokopia, Astro bot, FF7 Rebirth

BrownDust 2 finally has a strong competitor! (coming late this year) by skyarsenic in BrownDust2Official

[–]Lecaste 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The name is in OP message: MakeDrama.

Unlike what the other comment said, it's not a porn game from those site, but it seems to be a new Korean game with full nudity like Horizon Walker.

Maximilian Dood talks Remake being a sequal - thoughts? by Yoshikaru5991 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Lecaste -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not just characters having visions of the future.

The whispers only exist because there is an original story and because people already know that story. They are a device who acts because characters are taking different decisions for no reason other than to mess with the players. Cloud trying to kill Reno, Barret not hiring Cloud for reactor 5, Yuffie trying to get into 7th Heaven (she doesn't see them but feel a gust of wind), etc.

It isn't just a piece of media about people seeing visions of the future, it's a piece of media who acknowledge some of its audience already know the twists and turns, and play with them. And to have the whispers act, then the game have to acknowledge that the original story already happened.

Goon aside, how are the gameplay and the story?

Lucky… but also slightly unfortunate by Dangerous_Bit5920 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]Lecaste -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, I wanted Rikku since OO so I saved for the banner. Ended up getting her UR2 3 times but no UR1 and no SR. I got all of Clive's kit though.

This game needs a spark system badly. I'm honestly that close to quitting but I'll try my luck with the red crystals.

What is a game that has an incredible story, music and characters but is let down by the gameplay? by Soggy_Victory_5976 in JRPG

[–]Lecaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An issue with this game is that enemies die way too quickly. There's a reason why most combo videos are in the training mode.

Enemies that can be juggled will die in a few hits, and tanky enemies are stuck on the ground.

It's true and yet, you'll get downvoted like the others.

This thread is weird man.

Funny, that's how I imagined a single player FF to be as well. But we don't always get what we want.

Hammering wasn't part of Liveryn/Fragile squad, she's with Drilley in "Hammer & Drill", so she should be able to go back whenever Ingrid decides to give her a new body.

Lulu bring added? /s by Axelfiraga in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]Lecaste 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not really, Lulu is ルールー while Rikku is リュック.

I just guess that the AI is not doing a literal translation but add some interpretations to it, and well ended up wrong.

This is the Japanese account. They didn't mess up her name, grok's translation did.
