is the demo out soon?

It's out in Japan to buy from PSN, no idea when it will come to the UK/US


More images found.

WOL 3rd costume


Garlands 3rd costume

(Based on the image below)


Emperor's 3rd costume


Jecht's 2nd costume is also going to be replaced with this one below which is more fitting towards his original in game look.


Also seems like Chaos is going to be a little bit different as a boss. He now goes by the name Desperado Chaos

Update

Found some of the music on youtube
Force your way - VIII


Blinded by light - XIII


Grand cross - IX


Jenova - VII


and some footage of the demo

simply put, look at all of the success that Super Smash Bros Brawl and Melee had on a larger console, Super Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue, Dissidia would be right up there as well if it went multiplatform. Btw Erel--don't be hatin on Lost Odyssey, that game kicks ass dawg

I said I would dig the images up and I did








My opinion the real Amano Yuna one that is going to be in is pretty weak, just paler colours. Garland looks awesome, Laguna well not bad so I'm not hating. Tifa by far has the best imo though Zidane's armour is brilliant too. Bartz is a vast improvement

Well Nemo you right about it being Amano's for Yuna though. Found the actual Amano art but I still would have preffered the early concept art.

What is with Zidane's new armor? Is it a reference to Blank?

EDIT: Why did I not realise this? It's the Knights of Pluto armor he stole in the beginning of IX. Like the use of Broadswords for the costume.

Dude man, shame on you for not knowing that

What do you think of the new 9 stage BTW Cap (shown in one of the videos I posted it (Lighting Vs Cloud I think))

And anyone else spot the KH's reference too. (Hint it's on Tifa's person)

Finally found the pics of Vann's Tactics outift and Lighting's 3rd costume

Okay, to reply to post by other members. Been busy today.

@Erel: I hate Nomura to death. He is one of the key figures that is making most of the new FF games and I've lost interest in a lot of titles after X because of his imputs. But onto the deal of PSP and PS3. We already acknowledged that the PS3 is a superior system and since the system has been reduced to such low prices, sales have started to grow. Problem is the PSP is not well liked and Square owes Sony alot for the past decade. Sony was able to get the rights of FFs I-VI (Excluding III) to be rereleased for PSX from gaming kingpin Nintendo as well as had the power to make VII-IX shine through its graphics because the N64 did not have the ability to do so. You know how hard it is to get some games back from licensing companies? Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon were lost completely to Universal because they helped with budgeting for the games because Naughty Dog and Insomniac did not have a great financial history. After the two companies got all their money to separate from Universal, Universal took ALL the rights of the games away from them. Both companies can never make another Crash or Spyro game again. It's sort of the same deal with Nintendo because the first 6 games were released for Nintendo, they almost had complete right to take away Final Fantasy from Square all together and do whatever they pleased to the francise. So Square marketed the PSP excusive title to get more PSPs sold so it could help both companies. Plus maybe Square had in mind a game on the move rather than a consol version because the handhelds are actually popular. The gameboy changed the face of gaming forever and there are a lot of handheld gamers. I think I fall in that catigory because I play with my DS and PSP more than my other systems. Sure, my PS2 is used a lot but my Wii collects dust and I can yet afford a PS3 or 360. I see Dissidia to be sold to more cheaper assholes like myself because there are still a huge chunk of Square fans who have yet to play XIII because they do not have the newer consoles.

@Zane: No, this is on topic because it's about the game in general and our overall thoughts of it. I reread my post and understand what you find negative. I understand I type like an asshole but I don't try to get into your face and say, "Do not speak, your opinion is not wanted you negative nancy," even if I'm talking to someone who is pro against something I hate. You think people want to hear constant praise for something? You need bad with good. Nothing is perfect. I know I post more of the negative aspects than the positive but if I see a game that's more heavy with the negative than the postivie then I lean more on the side of hate. I played the first game and I'm not willing to give the second game a chance because I did not like the first one. There were just so many problems I had with the gameplay and I'm not up to re-live some of those. Not to mention, I'm not the only one hating Dissidia. Erel and Zack have been in this topic ranting their hatred for Dissidia mulitple times. In fact, I think I'm the most lax about it with a few exceptions like my extreme hatred for Vaan and Tetsuya Nomura. I don't care about the game but I'm not "THIS GAME NEEDS TO DIE" either. Congrat-u-fucking-lations if you want the game but I don't and I'm saying my reasons why. So if I can't say what I think on not buying it then that means you shouldn't either for the reasons for wanting it. So ruling me out here is a little unfair when I'm not the only one hating.

@Ry: Isn't it the Prima Vista? Meh, they could have created such a more fun and open area to fight like the middle of Lindblum or maybe Ipsen's Castle?

Read up some more about plot. For those who didn't know Cloud, Terra and Tidus will all be on the side of Chaos.

Cloud and Terra make sense (both controlled at some point by their respective villians) but I'm curious about Tidus (hating his Dad can't be reason enough for him to be evil)

^Whatever the ship was that the Play took place in Alexandria. :/ Kinda lazy looking, if you ask me...

Nomura has no real right to be director since he started out as Concept Designer and is starting to fail at that. His initial job when Enix took over was for the Kingdom Hearts franchise and after he became director, he began producing very cartoony concept designs. Which look ridiculous when compared to older designs. I'm happy to see his original Jecht design back in, however, throwing out that overused red outfit of his that I never touched.

As long as I've known Zane, I;ll have to side with Cap'n here. You need balance when critiquing something, and since Cap'n and I are both passionate about critiquing and the series we're judging, we're mostly negative. Although, I don't think we're in the wrong with our thoughts even if you don't see it that way. I usually critique certain things, mostly story and voicework, since those are the ones I care most about. Trouble is, Square is getting super lazy with their stories nowadays, I personally liked Dissidia's story, but it's a recycled version of the very first FF, which is extremely unprofessional. The main reason I'm getting Dissidia 012 is the same as everyone else getting it, to prove if the hype is worth it. Which it probably won't, but I'l be willing to spend $40 to find out, especially if it sucks up my life like the first one did. Still counting after 550 hours.

Whoa Amarant, I never said you're opinion was wrong, I never said you can't think that. All I said was that your thought could be put to better use. I just didn't see a point in being critical of something that you won't buy/play/try. I'm all for the free speech, and I don't even recall the Mr.Cool act either, I just said what I thought about your thought.
^ that's what I would've posted last time, but I thought it off topic.

"Do not speak, your opinion is not wanted you negative nancy,"
if I meant that I would have said it. I think there was over-reaction on both sides. Thats all, do you agree?

And Nemo
I'm getting it to enjoy it, and to satisfy my fandom needs. I don't see why you were so quick to jump on the misunderstanding. I didn't take it bad, I figured it was frustration at me for 12 years of being opposites. Critiques are supposed to be constructive and they're intended to give the creator advice on what to improve on. If you want to be negative about something, be a reviewer, a review is where you say what's good and what's bad and why the maker sucked. I assumed you were using the word for its actual use. That's why i responded negatively to the "critiquing" of voices and stories.


And to Rycloud, thank you for the prolific amount of material. I'd probably never find it myself.

No worries man, in all honesty I've been distracting myself from doing coursework.

According to the article linked below they are no longer limiting it to 8 new characters. Apparantly they are going to try and make it as many as possible before the March release.

I'm hoping XIII at least gets a villian. Perhaps Fang and having her transform into Ragnarok for her EX-Burst

http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/83576/dissidia-012-final-fantasy-gets-premium-demo-two-new-fighters/

Thats my favorite piece of news

Soon as that comes to America, I'll be able to download it, I'd download the JAP demo, but it requires money, and I have no Yen.

Neither have I, Nemo, I shall pay you the difference If I may also obtain said demo.
or I can get my own card if you don't wanna...


Figured I'd mention
WoL, Garland, Kain, Lightning, Sephiroth, Kefka and Bartz and Jecht are playable in the demo.

All the people playing it, say its faster paced, and that its interface is really nice. Apperantly, Tifa's Feint ability, makes guarding her very risky.
If you block right as she's about to hit you, you're safe. But if you guard early, she can teleport behind you and screw your block up. Its a "now or later" mix up game for her.

I can simply buy it for myself, then sign onto my account on your PSP and then download it again. It doesn't cost anything with that.

I'll just wait for the demo, as most people who downloaded yesterday have already finished the story mode for it.

Also better quality trailer

I would still be willing to pay you.
Thanks for keeping us updated Ry

You don't see me paying you for borrowing your FF PSP copy, do you?

Liam o' Brien has been confirmed for the role of Kain, I'm seriously pissed off.

I think the list of borrows between us is pretty even right now... so why bother.

Oh, and someone's bound to sub the new trailer soon. so keep your eyes peeled.

Another tiding of news. The north american release date has been confirmed for the 22nd of March. No word on UK/Europe but is believed to be before.

Also found a image of Aerith's assist icon. Enjoy.

I didn't think Japan would even get it that soon. It must be a lies!!!

Square confirmed it to ign.

Heres the article itself
http://uk.psp.ign.com/articles/114/1145091p1.html

UK Edition, lol.

This really brightens my day, however I will most likely be disappointed like BbS, but it's something to look forward to...

Japan gets it the third of march, which means we'll be getting the demo soon.

Lucky us, one step closer to pay the demo...I mean...PLAY....
