Y'shtola selected FFXIV representative for new Dissidia game.

[Blue]

 

Personally I was hoping for Hildebrand or Derplander, as most of the community. What do you guys think?

 

(FYI, this is currently only coming out for the Arcades, but people are expecting a PS4 release eventually too.)

[Tali]

*Cheer*

 

Dissidia, and then 012, were staples of my PSP diet before the screen died a horrible water-induced death.

 

 

Edit: Oh, yeah, Yshtola. *Shrug* I'm a fan of the work her English VA did, so if they keep her in any potential localisation of the game, that'd be pretty nice!

 

Putting Hildebrand in as a character would just make the game horrendously unbalanced in favour of the Light

[Jig]

I'm curious who will join the badguys. Gaius?

Also...

 

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!

[Desu Nee]

It would make sense for her to be on the game. Most popular MSQ character, and Hildibrand is kinda obscure for those not into FF14 after all.

[Kellach Woods]

Yeah I know they could have picked an actually interesting choice that has a backstory and, y'know, actual character. I can understand in Theatrhythm why they'd pick Catgirl With Twig but c'mon.

 

The good news from this is that if they stick to Theatrhythm roster for the most part, there's a chance mah boi Benjamin makes it in.

 

Also, since this is 3v3 I'm fairly sure we'll see more representatives overall. You don't want a 3v3 game with a roster under 30 and IIRC 012 only scratched that with the special characters (and that's if you count Feral Chaos).

 

Not expecting a TTT2-level roster, but I'm expecting a lot more than before.

[Steel Wolf]

I absolutely approve. She has the most attacks that would see her useful in a Dissidia, though if she were otherwise joined by Thancred I wouldn't feel awful about it.

 

It does leave one to wonder what baddie will join the roster as the opposite though. That, personally, is where my head spins. But Y'shtola? Yea, I can dig it.

[Aaron]

I was expecting the Derplander. 

 

Then again, I skipped 95% of the cutscenes in the MSQ.

 

I don't even really understand wtf is happening other than the Ascian are the bad guy.

[K'nahli]

Not interested in the game in the slightest but I guess I approve(?) I love Y'shtola. She's the most interesting MSQ character to be found(outside of city state leaders) in spite of hardly having any lines by comparison to the others.

[Dravus]

Well, out of all the Scions she's one of the more tolerable. I'm glad they didn't pick Minfilia (since she'd spend the duration of the game being kidnapped) or Thancred (because they've already got other characters to corner the womaniser cliche).

 

Oh, and Hildebrand not being given the honour is great too. He's not terrible, but he's very much like marmite and a character that is best limited to small doses. He'd only make the game as a whole seem more slapstick than it is which would do FFXIV a major disservice.

 

With that said I'd have preferred to see the Midlander guy in the cinematics come to life and be given a personality of his own. Oh well.

[Aya]

Well good for Y'shtola I guess..

 

I never found her very interesting, and would rather have had Papylmo and Yda!  I love Papylmo

Expect Derplander and most likely Yda or Minfilia then?

 

I want at least Nero, Gaius, and Nael to be the three baddie reps

Expect nobody else from XIV is more the idea - and I'd wager whichever one you fight at the end of the MSQ would be a possible baddie rep, assuming XIV even gets one.

 

Not every game gets multiple hero reps - IV, V (Gilgamesh counts... right?), VII, VIII and X are the only ones that have them I think (which I think is BOLLOCKS and we should have gotten at least Celes if not Locke in 012 but that's just me - I also think Lionheart from II should be in there but his schtick is kinda covered by Cecil.

 

Also, Hildibrand in this game would make a modicum of sense since Gilgamesh is in it, and they have history. HOWEVER, seeing as Hildibrand never really fights his own battles, if he shows up it's probably as the tutorial dude in a console-release.

THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT

 

For my interests, anyway.

Details are still coming, but there was a Closed Conference for Dissidia today. Amongst the choicest tidbits:

 

*Game is running on PS4 hardware

*Game will be arcade-only, PS4 release considered "a year" after initial release

*3v3 combat

*Arcade controls feature PS buttons on them

*MOTHERFUCKING RAMZA IS IN IT

[Warren Castille]

Hm. Can't direct link the new theme music.

You forgot the most important thing.

 

Team Ninja is lead developer behind this release.

 

Expect over 9000 bikini costumes.

 

(Also Warren, Ramza being in it is a no brainer since they've finally been considering non-numerical titles as part of Dissidia and as I mentioned before they're likely going for the Theathrhythm roster)

 

Although Ramza to me is good news because my main man Benjamin can make it in.
