Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy |OT| - better than your fanfiction

I just confirmed it.

Going in to the labyrinth resets all characters abilities who have +CP accessories equipped. Every last one, because they can show up as a potential "party" member.

Edit:

I think I'm done with this. I've beaten 012/013, but I don't have the gear or experience levels to tackle 000 and I don't want to play the story modes over and over until I get to the point where I can handle 000.

Anyone know if there's a database that has all the items/summon stones/trading materials where you can find their locatins or how to obtain them?

... The one thing I dislike about this game is looking into the shop and seeing that you need X material, and wondering "well where the hell do I get that?". I wish they would mention if it was a Battlegen material, or a dunegon treasure or what.

Spam Mega Flare with Yuna. Four times out of five, he'll fail to dodge it.

I don't know about anywhere online, but the strategy guide I preordered ages ago, and forgot about, arrived yesterday and is full of tables on this sort of thing. So might be worth a purchase?

Otherwise, you'll come across a lot the components in 000, and you can also purchase the upgrade from the PP catalog that causes components to drop more often. This will help rack up things like mythril, crystal, etc. so you can trade for better items in the shop.

If there's something specific you're looking for, let me know and I'll check the guide.

How in depth is the guide? Is it worth picking up?
Click to expand...
It's just over 350 pages. The character section includes official art and a look at the alts (minus DLC) and details when you'll learn new HP or Brv abilities. There's a huge section on all three scenarios, and a nice chapter covering the Labryinth that includes a map. Also has detailed tables for just about every item in the game, which is probably the bulk of the value.

But I wouldn't say the guide is necessary. The in-game manual is more than enough, and that will really teach you the mechanics of the game. The guide does makes a nice supplement though. Only $12.50 on amazon.

Man its taking me forever to get through the 013 story... trying to stay at the Battle Line and sometimes a few fights take me a while.

Not really going for ALL the treasure that I come across, I figure most of hte good stuff anyways is in 000 dunegon.

You might want to grab that treasure now. I believe that's where you'll pick up everyone's base exclusive weapon. Saves you the backtracking later.

If some of those manikins are too tough, dip into 000 for a bit. You'll earn a ton of gil and components so you can get better equips for 013. Sticking with the bonus line in 013 really takes a hit off your stats, so I had to do this to beat a few of the tougher manikins.

Just played my first couple of hours and holy shit at the scale, much more content than the original Dissidia. My only gripe is that I couldn't convert my JPN save of the original.

The DLC costume for Vaan coming with this month's V-Jump is going to be an original pirate costume designed by Yoshida. There's only a crappy black and white scan so far, but I don't really like how it looks. :/

Actually I'm just bitter because I can't use any of these exclusive PSN code-only costumes, and they're not selling them on PSN yet. Arghhhhhhhh.

Lol @ Vaan's new costume. Was expecting Reks or something, never seen this design before.

From what I understand, Yoshida designed this outfit specifically for Dissidia. Just like Hideo Minaba was brought in to design Zidane's and Kuja's DLC Alts. From what I see (from the crappy scan) I like it. Good old cheesy pirate design.

Gunslinger Yuna? Expected, but disappointing. I was hoping for one of her other dress spheres.

Moogle mascot outfit or bust

Is there any chance of the codes being put up for sale? Thinking of getting the game, but I want the pre-order costumes too. Also I didn't finish the first one all the way through, will it really matter if I just skip to this one?

In the first one I beat the game as the heroes and villains, but then a third thing opened up that I never got to finish.

Bahaha I love it! I find myself using only characters with sweet Alts.

So far: Yuna Alt2, WoL Alt2, Cloud Alt1, Kain Alt1&2 ... are my favorites. I would be down for DLC Zidane, Vann, and Yuna!


... right now I'm trying to work on getting better with Yuna. She has great attacks, but she seems like a very up close attacker to get most of her good stuff to hit: Air Shiva Brave and HP. I don't know, maybe because she's a summon magic user in the game, it seems "wrong" that I would use her as an upclose fighter in this game. Her ranged stuff is only so so, I've found.

... also really like Kain and WoL. Anyone who are 'good' with these characters, have any recommended setups?

Do you guys roll with Auto Chase and Auto Recover as a skill?

So last night I was in Sage's Path Gateway, and I kept getting killed near the end of it. Is there a way to restore life or do I just need to redo it and try to get better?

Any word on more US DLC? I know there's a way to get the JPN DLC to work with the US version but I'd rather wait. I really want Sephiroths KH alt.

I just beat the 012 story last night. Kinda confused on what exactly happened, guess I'll read that plot analysis when I have some time.

I started the 013 story (WoL's, actually) and I don't really get why I start off dungeons with like -23KP. Am I supposed to lower my level to the one suggested before you enter the dungeon? What exactly does that change?

overleveled. Basically the dunegon has a bonus line or whatever it is called. So if the lvl is
13 and you are at lvl 36. Then you are overleveled by 23. So 36 - 13 = 23. That is why you are -23kp. Lower your lvl to the suggested lvl and you won't have negative kp

I'm on the last three characters on 013 and I'm just over leveling all the dungeons to win in 1-hit. I'm ready to get on the 000 storyline.

That's all some good shit, hope it makes it state side.

... I just started 000 Story Mode. I can tell this is going to be tough! Are there any ways to tell what are the "conditions" that unlock the good treasure chests in dungeons? I just tried the very first red one that you come across, and I defeated everyone but didn't unlock the chest.

This game is a huge time sink. 60 hours of my life have disappeared into it. And as some have said before in this thread, labyrinth mode is amazing. It takes the Battle Colisseum from pt 1 (which was my favorite part), and adds a bunch more complexity to it.

Does anyone ever play the VS modes through ad hoc party? I dipped my feet in that pool last weekend and got decimated. Will try again this coming weekend, hopefully all the time I've spent mastering my character's abilities will pay off...

I haven't played on ad hoc yet but I'd like to! I usually play with friends in person (no equips/accs/summons) just straight brawl. I'd like to play different folks and improve my game. There's seems to be only a hand full of us here at the moment but it would be cool to play against everyone.

Well, after playing the hell out of the first one and got a friend into it..then ignoring everything about it since I knew it would be good anyway; I just got 012 (mostly thanks to that same friend). :)

Don't know if I'll main Cloud again like in the first one, but wow! I'm really liking it so far..plus the one song I wanted in the first one (Force your Way from VIII) made it to this one.; so that automatically makes it better! XD

As with The 3rd Birthday, no digital booklet for Go-version; oh well.
