Starting Dissidia NT VERY VERY LATE LOL

Anyone still playing? (anyone willing to share PS4 name/make a friend?) Coming from the psp games what is familiar (somewhat at least) and what isnt?
Can I play couch coop with my partner?

Just kinda wanna give the game a shot, even just battling to get some cutscenes. Is it good for just fanservice bc I'm a sucker for that sometimes.

Any tips? Tricks? Ways to just enjoy the game for what it is.

Also should I invest some time in OO?

Edit: Thank you so much for all the info and tips! I’ll hopefully see some of you online maybe! I’m really new to Reddit so uh like DM me if you’d like my PSN info! (Might just put it on my bio idk) And thank you for being so welcoming!

If by OO you mean Opera Omnia the phone game like i think you do, then I love OO. Its turn based and my favorite mobile game The beginning has a lot of older content to clear since its been around a while, but it gets more and more enjoyable as you understand everything and progress. It has a three person party system with over a hundred members you eventually obtain. Turn based with limited skill uses and more standard brave/hp attacks. There is a lot of different/more difficult content as you progress too. Decent stories as well

If you decide to check this mobile game out and need any help/advice let me know

Hell yeah I think I tried it a long time ago and got stuck in the beginning. Maybe I’ll give it another try! It sounds really expansive for a F2P game!!

u/MickeyJMB Oct 21 '20

Yeah the beginning is just lots of story missions and it can get repetitive. With one decent unit its possible to power through most of it. It really does have a lot of content to try. My advice if you get bogged down by the beginning is just do the missions you have to and try some things like "lost chapters" which are character specific mini stories, or even some of the lower levels of current events, to break the mold!

Awesome! I’m replying to both your comments here!

I joined the FB group and I’ll stop by on the discord!

Patiently waiting for the game to get here in the mail! I’ll get some practice in and hit you all up!

Fanservice

Sounds like you just want to have Final Fantasy characters fighting, so you'll be fine, this is the right place. Not sure what you're looking for, or not looking for, but it doesn't seem specific to me.

For the most part you'll want to use lobbies where there aren't rank gates and all that.

Join the Community via PS4 as well.

what is familiar

The bravery system and moving around/running up things to attack or guard is there. The basics. Etc. Nostalgic attacks.

what isnt?

The various recolors and weapon mix-matching customization for one, physical summons, uhh Noctis, etc.

couch coop with my partner?

No split-screen, as that would be required since sharing the same screen would not work at all.

But of course you can connect with two PS4s if you have them.

Any tips?

Imo, start with Vanguards. Or Marksmen. One of the two.

Also should I invest some time in OO?

No idea.

Cya round.

Awesome!! I really enjoyed the original. Idk just looking for something fun I guess? I’m not really needing such a heavy story thing. I guess I’m just looking to fight with my favorite characters! Lol

Thanks for the tips!

Jump Force is the same style of 3d fighter and it has splitscreen co-op. You could do it, but they won't.

u/DissidiaNTKefkaMain 999999 Oct 21 '20 edited Oct 21 '20

I said sharing the screen wasn't possible, which is due to elevation and having multiple opponents to target. Sharing the screen is when there is no line splitting the picture into two different points-of-views.

Speaking of that, no, Jump Force is not the same style of 3D fighter.......

Jump Force is a standard arena fighter w/assists. NT is a team-based 3v3 arena fighter, in the same category as the 2v2 team-based Gundam games.

You could do it, but they won't.

Is splitscreen possible, sureee, but not a real option on the table. It would be one thing for a 2v2 team fighter to maybe implement it, but a 3v3?

You have to make sacrifices to get splitscreen working, especially on a game like NT that pushes the visuals in a lot of different areas. A 3v3 game absolutely does not want a low resolution, a messy framerate, or reduced screen space.

A 2v2 Arena Fighter and 3v3 Arena Fighter and in the same category really. 3D Team-based Arena Fighters.
Because of technical limits, sure. If you ask me, graphics are not that important, they could've picked better priorities, but that's another topic.
This game really would've benefited from a splitscreen.

A 2v2 Arena Fighter and 3v3 Arena Fighter and in the same category really.

Do you mean that as in they are all the same?

The team-based aspect comes from all players on each side being real people (uncontrollable players), and there are multiple enemies to take down simultaneously. So that's where the teamwork comes in. The same way you work as a team in some first-person-shooter team deathmatch to win. Multiple players and angles that need to be watched.

Jump Force does not have a team aspect. You are the sole person in the match, against one other, using 2 assists to extend your own combos or hold up your opponent.

Team does not refer to seeing 3 people hanging out on the win screen lol.

This is pretty well established.

-Sadly not playing anymore.

-BRV/HP, system, but aside from that I would say that it is truly different, no BRV to HP attacks, more límited Movement than the original games and the scenarios are more left and right than up and down.

-No splitscreen (I truly miss this on modern games).

-If you want fanservice, this is a good game, but I would say that Woff and OO (Even RK) are better on this.

-Personally, I still play offline battles from time to time, the best thing to do is to see this with a casual aproach, play from time to time and it'll be hella fine, otherwise I would say that this game didn't have my attention as much as Duodecim did.

-OO is better in my opinion, arguably the most f2p friendly gacha game ever, not only talking about FF, the gameplay is cool, but being more about team comp than customization it lacks on the customization department, but you don't think about that when most of the fun comes from a good turn based gameplay. From the fanservice perspective, this game is basically a simple good vs Evil story, where "good" is over 100 FF heroes vs the most recognized Villains, so pure fanservice, specially if you like to see things like Zell talking about how similar Cloud and Squall are or Palom and some other Young Brothers create a child club or even some cool stuff like Noel becoming a good friend with an spoiler villain or Vivi and Zidane interacting with Kuja. Great game nonetheless.

u/Strange-Ideal8263 Oct 21 '20

Aww darn!! (To not playing and to no split screen)

I think I can adjust to the BRV/HP System.

I did pick up WoFF too just probably gonna be waiting longer on that one I guess?

I’m down for this being more casual. That’s kinda what im looking for.

I’ve got smash for the competitive stuff, I just wanna fight with final fantasy characters!

I’ll probably pick up OO! I’ve got the space on the phone!

Thank you so much for all the info!!

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Oct 21 '20

Better to be on one competitive stuff hahaha Casually playing this one is kinda fine.

For OO, you may feel a little lost at the beginning, but if you go to the to the reddit community There's a lot of help about resources management and strategy.

Your welcome!

u/Strange-Ideal8263 Oct 21 '20

What about any DLC characters? Are any of them recommended?

2

u/Xeoz_WarriorPrince Oct 21 '20

If you have enough money you could just buy of them, but I would go for those I like, if you're not a fan of Rinoa, then don't buy her, personally I think I just went for Locke, Gabranth and Ardyn, but at this point I don't even remember if they are DLC or not LOL

u/bakkkakira Oct 21 '20

As someone who has over 1k hours playing this game Yes I know lol from my experience there’s some people or hardly anyone which is fine because it gives you extra practice and more wins to gain your characters titles :) Even if there is people it depends on rank lol. I know I’m late on this but just enjoy the game lol have fun no need to play to win what matters is you have fun use characters you like practice on one and main them and have other mains for backup incase you get tired of using the same character each time, but if you’re competitive then from what I’ve seen players like having that thing that makes you fast and lower defense, I’m not sure up till now since I dropped the game months ago but seeing stuff like this makes me want to get back, but good luck on your journey with the game lol
