Final Fantasy: Dissidia

I was looking around at a few websites and stumbled across this video for Final Fantasy: Dissidia. It's the character from Final Fantasy III as he fights the Cloud of Darkness. He makes it look easy compared to when I fight the Cloud Of Darkness. For people who unfortunately never played the DS version of Final Fantasy III. The Cloud of Darkness is the void with a face and a figure. She is neither good nor evil her only purpose in life is to bring the world to what it once was. Nothing.

But now it seems she has more of a figure then just a bunch of clouds shaped as her. The whole fighting style is pretty much like any fighting game but with jumps that make you pretty much fly, and a humorous classic battle system to choose one attack to fully unleash with no counters.

Core Crisis Final Fantasy VII Good Bye Zack

I just defeated Core Crisis Final Fantasy VII, it has the ending that I knew was going to happen, but despite that I found it a little depressing. The final boss was actually easier then I had expected him to be, I am actually regretting not putting the game on Hard. The combat system is another thing, it has Zack running, dodging, and blocking in the middle of battle. I am guessing they are doing something similar with Final Fantasy XIII. The one thing I never got the hang of is the DMC I really don't understand how it works or how to get it to work but when it happens I usually get all three faces.

I also love the voice acting in it, mostly they replaced that horrible voice of Aerith from Advent Children and gave her a better voice actress. That really made the experience better for me alone. The game itself can actually be pretty short if you stick to story without doing any side quests. I wanted to do all the side quests only to find out there is over 300. I like side quest I think they are a good way to waste time, some of them were even fun. But I am not doing over 300 same quests over and over again. It's mostly either fight a boss at the beginning or go around to whole bunch of areas to find a boss. Fight boss and either get a cut scene or don't that's pretty much it.



There are some familiar faces you see in the game of coarse there is the Turks Tseng, Reno and Rude. Sadly Reno and Rude only make two appearances in the game. As well as one of the newer Turks Cissnei, I am still trying to figure out what happened to her so she doesn't appear in Final Fantasy VII. Then there is Sephiroth with his nicer side before he turns evil. Dr. Hojo who is still an ass. Aerith of coarse plays a large part in the game, it also explains where she gets her ribbon from and how her flower buisness got started. At the beginning you meet Yuffie and she sends you emails to do quests for her. There is also Tifa. Don't have much to say there. As well as Zacks good friend Cloud, the game shows how Zack and Cloud first met. Even how Cloud got his SOLDIER uniform despite not being a SOLDIER. The only thing I didn't see is how Aerith finds her Holy Materia. In the game she didn't have it tied up in her hair, I was hoping for some kind of explination.

It is a game I actually enjoyed playing I loved the music, voice acting, cut scenes and some of the humour that was in the game, not something I probably will play again they were misssing things I wished they put in the game such as puzzles and maybe a decent boss fight.

Dragoons

Dragoons in fiction are mostly known as people who can control or have a connection to dragons. Most of the time Dragoons take on the form of dragons with helmets and armor that resembles dragons.
I first came across a Dragoon in Final Fantasy IV when downloading fan translated roms were cool. Despite this being my first Final Fantasy game I played and the only turn base battle RPG I played was Chrono Trigger. So adjusting to something so different by comparison wasn't easy. Not to mention I never had troubles actually needing to grind with Chrono Trigger as I soon found out I needed to do with Final Fantasy IV. But I soon found my favorite character Kain, which was regrettable how he kept leaving the battle a lot of the times. I found Kain the most useful character, if it wasn't for his jump all characters would have died during the final fight. Though I didn't know at the time that Kains job was a dragoon.
I soon found a lot of games where Dragoons are either a small part or a big part in the game. In Eragon they are known as Dragon Riders which is the basic concept of Dragoons. Him spiritual linked to his dragon he is the only one who can communicate with her.
Dragoons can be mostly seen in Final Fantasy series, it started back in Final Fantasy III. When the job can use the strong ability Jump against their enemies. Jump makes the character jump into the air and can take at least one turn before they come down and attack the enemy. It's a strong attack and nothing can harm the character when he's jumping in the air. Dragoons also appear in Final Fantasy Tactics but they are known as lancers but have the same concept as Dragoons using spears and the ability to Jump. Then there is Final Fantasy IX the dragoon is known as a Dragon Knight job that Freya has. She can Jump as well as learn how to summon dragons to her help her.
Final Fantasy XI has probably the best story line for Dragoons out of all the jobs. It starts out with your character hearing of a man who is actually a dragoon despite Dragoons being a dead job. After doing a whole bunch of small quest including finding your very own dragon egg and getting it to hatch. A man comes to slay the dragon, thinking all dragons are evil and none of them will ever be good. After defending your dragon and killing another dragon, your dragon shares a bond with you and shows the signs of good. So that's basically how you become a dragoon in Final Fantasy XI. The only crappy thing about is that you have to choose from a list of names so there is a lot of Raidens running around my server. I hate the name Raiden mostly from MGS so I called mine Delphyne. The dragoons are considered a joke class in it, but from recent updates of the game. They are much better they previously were.

Other News

I've been playing Final Fantasy III ever since I defeated Phoenix Wright game. I have to admit I think it's a classic game remade but they still don't change the idea of a simple man villain that turns 10X larger then you in battle. I never played the original Final Fantasy III for obvious reasons but the game itself reminds me of one of my favorite Final Fantasy's, Final Fantasy V.

When my friend Brandon first purchased this game when it first came out he told me that they have a Dragoon job class in it. I got excited about it and asked if I would be able to make a whole Dragoon party. He told me it could work if I have a lot of potions for my party.
So when I first got my jobs I was sad that there was no Dragoon to select at first. So I decided to make the main character Luneth, a monk to make the game have irony that Luneth as a Monk looks like Locke from Final Fantasy VI.

So after the Water Crystal later I now have a Dragoon party and it's actually pretty strong party too. At first it was hard getting enough money to buy the armor and weapons. But now my party is really strong especially against flying monsters. I am not done the game yet and hopefully understand the full storyline soon because this is a game I really can't put down at the moment.

Dissidia Final Fantasy

I stumbled upon this video yesterday, I was shocked that they were actually doing something like this. Especially seeing how they already have Kingdom Hearts where the crossovers are done. But now this game seems to be crossovers of only Final Fantasy leaving out any Disney characters. From the pictures I looked up it seems to be the old Final Fantasy Characters up to 10. I didn't see any XI, XII, or XIII characters, but they did have Ultimicia which I think is really cool. She is one of my most favorite villains in the Final Fantasy series.

Not much is known about it only that it's for the PSP. I can say that it looks like something I am willing to play when it comes out.

Final Fantasy X-2

It's been a long time since I played this game, I paid full price with this game and was very disappointed in it. This game shouldn't have been a sequel to Final Fantasy X, at best it should have been a Final Fantasy game of it's own. It wouldn't have been too hard to make it either.

"A young girl is in search of her love who died 2 years ago, she believed he was actually dead until she found a sphere. This sphere contain images to what might be her long lost love and is in search with her two friends and her new formed group the Gullwings to find answers by sphere hunting the world."



That would have been a good game on it's own but instead they made it a sequel to one of the best Final Fantasy's and making it a big mistake and almost ruining the series.

It wasn't a bad game it is quite good in it's own way, with the singing, the side missions, the jobs and the fighting combat. But it also had a lot of flaws such as "New Areas" that were some how hidden in the first game such as Wakkas hidden cave. I just couldn't believe they tried to pull something like that it was just really unbelievable. Not to mention a lot of the game had plot holes such as this "Ultimate Weapon Vegnagun" and Lenne trying to stop her boyfriend Shuyin from using the weapon on the world because he didn't want Lenne to go to war because she was a summoner. But wait. How can Lenne be a summoner? The first summoner was Yunalesca who defeated Sin, so Sin shouldn't come back for another ten years so there is no reason for Lenne to be a summoner. It's only been two years since it happened, and summoners don't go on the pilgrimage until Sin reappears. Maybe I missed something but that has to be a big plot hole right there. Just like in Final Fantasy X how Auron was able to go to Dream Zanarkand.



All in all I would never accept this as a sequel to Final Fantasy X the ending for it was just as good without this add on.

Koreans Music Video Of Advent Children

Very creepy Korean video that they do that has the same resemblance to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.

Final Fantasy VII The Last Order

This is another Final Fantasy VII to boot, it takes a deeper look into

Sephiroth, Zack, Cloud, Tifa, and Shin-Ra. And what happened the time

Sephiroth went crazy with anger.



It's not a big surprise when I was watching it, just because I already

knew what was going to happen because I did play the game. I thought

that would be more then enough to explain the story but I guess not.



This is a serious look that opens up new chapters in this Final Fantasy

VII crazy. Such as these new Turks that "Disappeared" when the original

game was made. My guess is death.





The fighting in it was the only real thing that appealed to me, Zack was

able to take on a lot of soldiers to protect Cloud. But died in the end.

I didn't spoil anything because everyone knows.



It's fine to download if you're into Final Fantasy, the series went really

down hill and it's sad cause the series was good at one point.
