I've never got all the One winged Angel craze. Sure I kinda hate FF but it's not like it's a special song... But I guess it like Hell March for us CnC fans.

here here Jim. I loved Sephiroth, but fan service ruins everything and i'm getting a little fucking sick of him. As for One-Winged Angel, I like it, but it only makes sense in the context of Sephiroth IN FF7, so it's stupid to play it anywhere else... goddamned fanboys...

One-Winged Angel is a pretty kickass song, but Dancing Mad completely blows it out of the water. Best. Boss Theme. EVAR. :d

"Yeah how dare they finally begin to extend upon a universe rather than leave it at one game now that they have the resources!"

It's not a question of expanding on the universe, it's overexposing one character to the point of it growing stale.

Cherry cheesecake is delicious and amazing, and I would like to eat it more than once in my life rather than just always fondly reflecting on the first time I tried it. But I wouldn't want to eat it every day.

OWA would've been much better served in one of the (lengthy) cutscenes.

*SPOILERS?*



Example: the CG fight between Seph and Angeal/Genesis in CC. I thought it was very well done there.

AAAAAHHHH!!! MY FANBOY SIDE!!! IT'S GOING OUT OF CONTROL! I CAN'T STOP IT!

Oh and to all the people who are complaining about how over exposed FF7 is. Contrary to what Jim believes, beyond FF7 and Ehrgeiz... FF7 itself didnt get much exposure until the 10 year anniversary started to roll around. THEN SquareEnix decided to cash in on the franchise. Up until then FF7 was kept alive primarily by fan interest... probably cuz its one of the best entries in the series (For me the holy trinity of FF games are FF7, FF6, and FF4)

@ the Golden Avatar
I know. It comes with the territory. :)

@SephirothX

"I cant believe Jim actually expressed interest in KEFKA. The most stereotypical dull & predictable villain in the entire series, well until Seymour in FFX."

And that's why I love Kefka. Because he is a dastardly motherfucker with an evil laughter.

And he hates hates hates hates hates hates hates hates hates hates hates you wall!

The fans demmand it, but this Dissidia forgets a lot of charismatic characters like Auron (replaced for Braska!!!???), and female main characters...

The only game that I'm really waiting from $quare-€nix is Parasite Eve 3rd Birthday, but I don't expect to much from them.

FF8 > FF7. That's right, I said it. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

Doesn't bug me too much. The game looks cool regardless.

@crunks

Amen brother. I thought i was the only one who felt that way!

Needs MOAR Auron

well it's inevitable, S-E will keep milking ffvii cuz said game has one of the most stupid fanbases in videogames history...
can't wait to kick sephiroth's and cloud's EMO butts with kefka. =P

How is this game so gorgeous? I'm constantly surprised by the potential of the PSP. I need to expand my PSP library.

I agree it would probably be way more awesome on the PS3. However, it looks plenty awesome on the PSP and I will have it, oh yes, I will have it.

The level looked pretty cool, and at some point Cloud became equipped with the Ultima Weapon! I think this is the first time he's ever used it outside of FF7.

As someone who had the story of Final Fantasy VII told to me at a Steak 'n Shake just before being dragged to a friend's place to watch Advent Children, I can say that I'm pretty indifferent to this matchup, but I'm not not looking forward to it. I guess.

Also, thanks for ruining Crisis Core. JEEZ.

Well gotta admit, the fight scene looks good. and the amount of area you can move around seems awesome.

Besides Jim, what other song you expect to have in a fight between them 2? Nirvana?

I just want to play anybody but squall or sephy and beat the crap out of them.

you know I just sit back and read articles and sometimes I just read some comments. And I cannot WILL not let this comment:

"I cant believe Jim actually expressed interest in KEFKA. The most stereotypical dull & predictable villain in the entire series, well until Seymour in FFX. "

Go without a thorough argument.

Lets present the facts:

Sephiroth: A clone of a clone of a clone of a clone whos intentions are never really fleshed out. Hes simply some feminine looking dude with a long sword and filled with about as much angst as a Hot Topic on Halloween.

Kefka: A diabolical madman intent on destroying life, becoming the ruler of the world by using and manipulating everyone and their mother.


Sephiroth kills Aeris and hes labeled as the worst bad guy ever. Seriously? he kills a sub par magician bitch and hes the WORST villain?

Kefka not only poisons the water reservoir of a town that wasnt even threatening him, he destroys the entre WORLD. Why? because its fucking hilarious to him.


Dont get me wrong, I enjoyed FF7, and it was the reason I bought a PS one. But better than Kefka? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nah son, it jsut doesnt work that way.

Kefka is the Joker of the Final Fantasy series.

While Sephiroth is more of a repetitive androgynous character that shows up in a bunch of anime fans sketch books.


Thats my 2¢

What MrJunko said. Fuck you Sephiroth, you overused momma's boy. Kefka is WAAAAAAAAAAY better than Sepi.

Agreed. The Sephiroth vs. Cloud fight in Kingdom Hearts made me all excited, but then again in KHII it was like, "Okay, we get it." It doesn't work the eighth time you do it.

c'mon we have seen almost every character on dissidia fight against their own universe antagonist (terra - kefka, tidus - jecht, etc) so why all the fuss because you see cloud v/s sephiroth... what did you expect? that they dont show one of the fights more anticipated for years (of course before AC, CC, etc)...
i still remember the times i watched the N64 FF VI tech demo over and over again just wanting to get an updated look at my dear party... when they did Advent Children... it was the same for FFVII fans... let them be happy, now they can duke it out advent children style each one controlling a character... guess thats new isnt it? (aside from ergheiz)

For me, it's FFVI >>> FFVII and Kefka >>> Sephiroth.

Now I like them both and respect the opinions of those that were broken in on the PS1/PC FFVII but number 6 simply kicks more ass and was the last Final Fantasy before we started to see all the soon-to-be FF cliches. I'm not talking about chocobos and guys named Cid, I'm talking about blonde, emotionally-stunted, spikey-haired protagonists, gigantic swords, bait-and-switch antagonists, shallow characterizations, STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE, and a number of other issues that Square has blindly embraced as they milk their cash cow (FFVII) dry.

If FFXIII shows no real improvement and change from the cookie cutter pattern Square has been clinging to for the greater part of the past decade, the Final Fantasy series will essentially be dead to me.

Oh, and to avoid any potential flames, the cliches above weren't necessarily cliches when FFVII came out (well, not FINAL FANTASY cliches, at least...), but Square sure as hell made them cliches in no time flat.
