That sounds awful and you sound like a shill

yeah well you sound like a faggot.

Lightning is fun.

...

Roster update tomorrow!

>tits over the text box
Yess. So good.

fuck i barely got to play half of em. played only exdeath so much. this 2nd rotation went so fast.

Why did they make Kuja's aerials so bad, his orb pull attack was so comfy in duodecim and now it's at an angle you're almost never going to be in.

I never thought I'd miss his rings, to be honest.

>Kuja back out to replace Zidane

I knew it was a good decision to main both of them even though I really didn't like FF9.
Sorry to be that guy tomorrow that plays Noctis

>Cloud, Sephiroth and Squall all in the same cycle

I feel like all this "weak" attacks are because everyone is still adapting to the new gameplay. I mean this is still a fighting game, albeit a watered down one. Just wait for the japs to do creative shit with it like they always do.

Holy shit I miss the rings as well, I was disappointed to see that they were gone.

Can i just say...

"Shut the F*** up Moogle jesus christ"

"Check equipment kupo"
"Check summon Kupo"
"Check stage kupo"
"Searching for match kupo"
"you won a fight and found a quarter, kupo"
"You levelled up, Kupo"

Final Fantasy developers, moogles aren't as endearing as you think they are. pls stop.

You put yourself at that angle.

>he doesn't like moogles

Don't forget Noctis. 6 Nocti matches incoming.

How is Ramza?

You can turn him off.

Don't be shamed,my friend.
because im doing the exact same thing.

Man, most games past 6 shit on moogles for being the annoying turds they are. Just turn him off.

Gabranth Light, now with 100% real memes.

This. Be thankful because very few characters have attacks that angle up or down with that range.

You should be more upset that his neutral air is too fucking short and doesnt track like before

>somebody else actually uses the rings

My fucking nigs, everyone kept telling me to trash that garbage move. That shit saved me on occasion.

My cousin's dog's uncle's owner's mom's dentist works at Square Enix. The first character (male, later half of the series, villain) will be Gaius van Baelsar. Don't tell anyone.

>Sephiroth is unironically my favourite FF villian
>played him whenever I could since Ehrgeiz
>get called a sephyshitter
>every match there's 2 more of him
>dragoon-tier awareness rampant in Sephiroth players
>he's fucking amazing to the point where I think he'll be toned down
and really fun to play
Heads I win, tails you lose

I liked spamming them when I kept my distance
>Sephiroth is unironically my favourite FF villian
Just remember that many people agree with you. No shame in playing a character you like.

They just keep running into my magic baseball, user. Tell your Sephy friends to turn left or right when ExDeath winds up the pitch.

No, it will be this guy. He is controlled by 3 players and if he dies once the game is over, but his attacks are nearly map-wide and deal massive damage.

Why does it take so long to find teammates? Will this be fixed in the actual game?

So how does it hold up vs duodecium and the original? Just started and working through the tutorial, can't wait for my boy squall

I’ll be the sycthe

>target switching isn't based on the direction of the enemy and even glosses over the closest enemy.

I hope list targeting is better I'd like to be able to suddenly target unsuspecting niggas

You can turn him off, you know.

No, Chad controls the scythe. You get to be his asshole.

They are very different. This is slower, but more deliberate, and teamwork is a huge focus. As squall, pick on mages, save your friends, and be careful about going head to head with heavy hitters like Garland and Cloud, as they may poise through your shit and eat your squishy ass alive. And remember you can guard and run if necessary.

>Gabranth Light
What? How?

Mediocre moveset until he powers up by charging his EX, at which point he becomes a scary motherfucker.

I pretty much guessed that WoL and Noctis would end up travelling together, considering it's 1 with 15 walking around. I actually used to find it really interesting which characters traveled with which, based on their own characteristics.
which also doesn't surprise me at all that Jecht would protect Tidus at the end of the game against Shinryu or that Kuja would try to keep Zidane and Terra safe because Trance users gotta stick together

Why is this game not popular?

Heya, the name's Buttz. I'm in all three rotations but no one picks me!

Sephiroth is cool. I actually liked the bro as fuck side they gave him in Crisis Core before the whole JENOVA fiasco.

Seeing the Midgar Zolom impaled after running from that fuckhuge shadow in the swamp was a very imposing moment and really cool.

people don't like change especially when they're nostalgic about the last games.

>>does not require PS+

Does the full game require it?

>uses dreadnought
>kills entire enemy team
what were they thinking?

Not enough marketing and too much skill needed for normies.

Cecil sticks with them too, no?

But wheres ramza?

Final Fantasy, the RPG is pretty popular
Dissidia, the final fantasy fighting game, is not.

Why? I couldn't tell you, but seeing as how this is isnt like the psp title is a strong contribution.

Not Noctis, WoL and Bartz for the joke.

>Sephiroth is cool. I actually liked the bro as fuck side they gave him in Crisis Core before the whole JENOVA fiasco.
He was always like that before the incident. He even talked to and learned about grunts like Cloud. I love how cool of a guy he used to be too

if anything it will be worse I can’t imagine many paying full price

>too much skill needed for normies.
I remember letting one of my normie friends try it out on my psp and he couldn't grasp that you need to build up bravery to do stronger HP attacks.

I find it very hard to believe that a game like this has 5 min wait times to find matches. Imagine what it will be like a few months from now on. I don't know why FF fans aren't flocking to this game.

But it's still FF. It has so many FF characters in it. Why don't people like it?

F U C K
T I D U S

>He even talked to and learned about grunts like Cloud
>Like Cloud

But the psp games flopped and many didn't even care or have a PSP anyways. Most my friends who played the beta but not the handheld said it was pretty fun and that they would probably buy it at some point. Two are getting it release day.

Cloud was a grunt
Did you even play the game?

Many people have a strong aversion to multiplayer games.

is ramza ok to use??

Cecil is so chill he could be with anyone and they wouldn't mind, but yeah, I forgot to mention him.

Isn't that the other guy in the flashbacks? Though it's been years since I last played the game

t.marksmen cuck

There are arguably better arena fighters like Gundam Versus and the new Virtual-On (not sure if that one's actually out yet). There also seems to be a lack of marketing, the changes from the previous games hasn't made a lot of people happy, and the game itself is pretty confusing at first glance. That's not even mentioning all the technical problems present with the lobbies, at least in this beta.

Cloud saw himself as Zack in all cutscenes before Cloud realized his memories were kinda fucked with. Took the 'living legacy' part a little bit too serious at the end of CC.

Cloud was a grunt at the time, what are you getting at?

I hope they fix it. I don't want to buy this game only for it to become a ghost town.

>tfw when Fighter and Blackmage are my favorite characters due to 8-bit theatre
>love Exdeath because he's a nihilistic tree who gets into DBZ fights with turtles
>BM isn't in the game
>can't into WoL or Exdeath
>tfw Onion Knight fits my play style better

>that scene where you follow the gory aftermath in Shinra HQ only to find the masamune impaled into the president

Sephiroth is great, he and his clones had a ton of memorable moments in FF7. It's everything after that tried it's hardest to ruin it, although I liked crisis core as well outside of genesis and he's such an obvious dev insert that I don't think he counts even among the most autistic of lorefags.

Because FF fans usually arent fighting game fans. arena or traditional.

Would probably stand to reason they tried this, weren't very good, and said this isnt for me. Others probably didnt appreciate the departure from the original dissidias too.

It’s how it actually happened, but Cloud was the grunt on the right and he was who Sephiroth was taking to

We'll always have a Japanese comp scene, at least.

They can't fix it.

>vacuum never works
fix this

Is it the same for you guys as well? How long do you wait in between matches?

>uses dreadnought
>share bravery
nothin personnel

2-5 minutes usually. I imagine it will be faster at launch, but not forever.

another thing is the roster is pretty shit not everyone’s returned from the PSP titles and villains are still missing from certain titles. The game should have been delayed but we all know square loves to push out unfinished products nowadays e.g XV

It was like this in the closed beta.

This might be here to stay im afraid, thats the number one concern from me.

Wait times are fine for me. I mean what is considered unreasonable? Do you go into an autistic rage after 30 seconds?

It's 5-10 mins for me. Sometimes longer.

Arcade games never finish they just die.

>try a new character
>get them out of bronze
>suddenly teammates are capable of proper coordination

>I don't know why FF fans aren't flocking to this game.
Are you kidding me? There are so many ff fans who already outright ignore the mmo games because they are allergic with interacting with real people, now imagine a online game with the focus of going against real people

If it's 5 minute search time during the first week, imagine how long they are in two months.

I keep getting bronze fags even at Silver

Let's not forget that a lot of them want to be the super cool swordman and solo the team and end up getting wrecked.

>There are so many ff fans who already outright ignore the mmo games because they are allergic with interacting with real people
But why? It's more fun with other people. I can't understand this mentality. Why shut yourself away?

Did they nerf lightning ravager attacks since last beta how did I just lose the groove ?

I remember linking those moves together like it was nothing yet in this beta I can barely hit with anything that isnt thundaga

Idk my times in solo are a minute or less. Idk if its a regional thing or connection quality thing.

Oh, all Sephiroth mains?

The thing is the real game will have rooms as well as the ranked matchmaking, it may as well turn into a guilty gear situation where no one does ranked ever and is just in rooms

yes

Probably this. When queues get too long people will just abandon ranked and go to lobbies.

Try getting them at Gold. You lose a lot more points when you lose there than when you're Silver.

>I can't understand this mentality. Why shut yourself away?

Ah, I see we have a normal in our presence. Well, at first it's a little difficult to understand, but overtime you start to understand. A lot of FF fans tend to be the antisocial type, so it would stand to reason that they would shy away from things that require minimal human interaction.

I'm trying but it's difficult. I don't have the time to play much since I'm working.

>A lot of FF fans tend to be the antisocial type
I don't get these people. It's alien to me. Society is built upon human interaction. Shutting yourself away from it can result in nothing but pain.

Ranks Bronze through Silver should be considered tutorial ranks. They teach you how to be self sufficient since everyone is brainded. Then you move on to gold where everyone ideally knows how to play and works together more
