samples and track list on the official site.

Cloud, Teedus, and Terra on the villain's side. Interesting, though I understand it with Terra if they're referencing the beginning of FFVI.

That confirms Vaan is the worst character design in the series.

Why is Vaan smelling his finger?

I didn't see that before.

Good question. Maybe he's channeling Dr. Evil.

Tidus is the only one who doesn't really make sense in terms of continuity. Since this game is a "prequel", Cloud makes sense since he was part of Shinra before FFVII, and Tina makes sense because she was slave-crowned before FFVI. It'll be funnier if Tidus turned out to be Shyuin.

Man, that arranged version of the regular FFIV battle theme is amazing.

This is kinda off topic, but these two shots just released by FFXI twitter.

Final fantasy OST packaging is always great

Who? That's a very enticing ost nonetheless.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Wow this limited edition seems pretty epic with its contents!

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Limited Edition extras are not particularly impressive. The original Dissidia's OST looks better. I love what I've heard of Duodecim's OST so far though, so I'll probably pick this up anyway.

Main antagonist of FFX-2.

Shuyin is basically the REAL Tidus.

He doesn't have a Shuyin alt in the game, though. No need to fear, however, apparently all characters will be getting a DLC alt in the long run.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Still mad that there's no sign of a new ffvi rep.

Desperately hoping Edgar will be a secret character.

I see, well as long I don't have to go down the rabbit hole of plot reading via wikipedia for reference that's fine.

I'm not criticizing you, but what did you think of the original (so I can judge it when it comes)? I thought it was awful, especially given the multitude of great remixes and rearrangements for the series. I'm not excited for this at all because of it.

God dammit! Now I have to buy the game Prishe is too awesome to wait for

I mainly agree with you. The original Dissidia ost had nice packaging but the ost was really boring. Especially compared to Ishimoto's excellent work on Crisis Core & TWEWY. The mixes felt too safe (or too bad) and too close to the originals.

But, the Dissidia 012 ost is a whole different story that speaks for itself from the 012 prologus demo & the website tracklist samples. The remixes in 012 seem really awesome. FFIV's battle, FF1 arrange, FFV's final boss, Jenova, etc... are all very cool. I was going to pass on the 012 ost because yeah, the original ost was a letdown and not worth the import price, but the music they've shown from 012 is good enough to get me on board again and I'll be picking up the ost again this time.

I get the feeling that the first Dissidia was essentially a test run game. Throw an idea out and see if it catches on. 012 seems bigger and better in every aspect and more like what Dissidia should have been.

Really ? I thought the first OST was awesome and I even bought the limited edition.

I couldn't remember his name, but I was thinking that. Also I sometimes forget the whole "evil Shinra corporation" when Cloud and Zack are the heroes.

Quite a beautiful package

Vaan is the worst character in the series.
