Dissidia junk

According to my hour counter, I've played over 80-something hours in Dissidia Duodecim...*twitch* lol

This game goes on forever. XD Right now trying to level my characters up so I can play Confessions of a Creator and not die all the time 'cause I only have a few high level chars and I'd rather have a full party that's all at 50+ for it.

Honestly I probably would have stopped by now if it wasn't for the fact that in this version you actually unlock scenes and I kinda want to get them all. >>; We'll see how long this lasts. As I know I still have to go through all the 000 stuff after this. It probably wouldn't take me as long if I wasn't trying to level up my other characters and trying to get more KP and thus setting my high characters' levels lower to get the points. Else I probably could have zoomed through it with my level 100 Cloud. ^^;

Though now that I finally have free reign of my characters, been having fun setting everyone's Assists and costume changes. And let me tell you, I never get tired of watching Seph and Cloud fight together in my game since I totally have them as each other's Assists. XD And they actually work a lot better than my other combos. (Which are of course Kain/Cecil, Zidane/Kuja, and I've been varying on who gets to be Light's Assist). Its really cute with Kain and Cecil though 'cause when you summon Cecil as an Assist, he tends to be all asking if you're alright which is extra cute when he's saying it to Kain.

However I am sad that despite the obvious chance they had, they did not do any interaction between Cloud and Lightning in this game at all and I think that's sad. 'Cause that could have been amazing. XD Though I still swear that Kuja was hitting on Cloud at one point. And Frioniel's little crush on Light is freaking adorable. I also must admit that despite having no interest in FFXI, I have rather come to love Shantotto. And Prishe is fun to play.

Over 80-something?! Ahaha! ;)
Clearly, I don't have the time I should dedicate to this game! (Maybe once the semester's over, I hope.)

Would you believe I keep forgetting about assists? I only have Cloud/Lightning and WoL/Firion! XD

I must second that Kuja was hitting on Cloud at one point.

lol I don't really play it that much. I just had a few weeks head start with it since I'm playing the Japanese version.

Welp I hadn't really done any Arcade-mode til after I was done re-playing all of 013. And both that and 012 didn't really allow you to change the Assists so this is my first time really getting to play with them. So now I'm all like "whee~" fooling around with it, enjoying my freedom. XDXD 'Cause it took forever to finish Shade Impulse this time around. Since it was all put together in one gigantic chunk.

Ah, yeah. That's right!

I've been playing a lot of one-on-one battles (where assists can be set) for the alternate outfits. For some reason, they don't work with the main storyline. The 012 one at least. :\

Pfft! I was hurrying through the first game's story as the release for doudecim came closer. When I saw the spoilers that the 013 story was included in doudecim, I dropped Shade Impulse after the second chapter. But, really, one gigantic chunk sounds something terrible! :O

[rose-of-pain.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was annoyed at the outfits not working. 'Cause I could be wrong as its been a really long time but I could have sworn you were able to change the outfits in the story on the original game. Obviously not during cut scenes but for the fights and such. 'Cause I remember accidentally changing WoL's outfit and being all "wait...why are his colors different? What did I do?" before I knew you could change their outfits. XD haha tis what I get for playing a game with very little Japanese skills and before there were any guides out.

Yeeeaaah, that was probably a smart move. lol As you do have to go through it all over again. Though, once again my memory might be rusty, I think in the original game you only get parts of Shade Impulse each time you play? Like the scenes depend on who you play it as? I think? I can't remember. lol I just know that playing SI in Duodecim I was all "Wait...I don't think I've seen these scenes before..." because it puts you through ALL the characters' scenes with their respective villains, even if you don't have them in your party. Its a little weird just in the sense that like you'll have Kuja and Zidane talking it out and about to fight but then the actual fight is Cloud and Kuja (depending on who you have set in your party at the time). Though you don't actually have to do everyone's bits 'cause some of them are in the optional blue gates. Only some are in the mandatory red gates. But I kinda like completion so I did them all. lol And pretty much each gate is a different character's SI bit. So it just kinda goes on forever. ^^;; And then ends with the obnoxious Chaos fights (I was like "I have to do this all over again?! T_____T" 'cause it took me a really long time to finally beat him the first time, but at least my characters were higher leveled now and the party system HELPED A HELL LOT so I was able to strategize it, even if it meant sacrificing 3 characters to do it).
