In single player, in the old Dissidia, Emperor was annoying but there were limitations to what he could do. In this 3 v 3 Dissidia. Oh boy. He is going to rule heaven and hell.
Those limitations turned it into mind games and setup to use him effectively, as well as understanding the enemy AI and other players. He's tricky, but that's what made him so much fun
@Adrianto Shinomori Just pay attention to how the AI reacts to his abilities, and exploit it Against players, it's gonna depend on how aware they are of the space they're in. Try and do enough that they forget where you placed a trap or three and learn how you can abuse how movement mechanics work.
wita gowtama It's gonna take a while for Golbez to come out, I believe since we have Kain as one of the second characters in their respective series to be released. I also doubt we'll be getting Jecht since Dissidia Opera Omnia seems to be pushing more for Yuna and Seymour as far as X's roster is concerned. Spiritus also resembles him in terms of body build so I think they're cutting him out. Hope I'm wrong though.
Waterstorm He's always cool to me since the original game. A no-nonsense villain who did a good job being a villain beyond forgiveness. Most villains have excuses to justify their actions. The Emperor just wants to rule the world. Failed and being killed by the heroes? Split soul in two and rule both heaven and hell. If that is not enough to define him as a cool villain, I don't know what is.
I was talking about his gameplay being even better now, I truly love the Emperor character too. Not about his reasons to being evil, but his personality and his intelligence ! I really loved how he was in Dissidia plot.
I love Emperor Mateus too! He's my favorite villain. \o/ But Mateus kinda excuses his actions too. He hates human kind and what they're doing because he is a misanthrope.
Someone else pointed it out: you have mistranslations. It's Curse Flare (カーズフレアー), Fear Tornado (フィアトルネド), and Thorn of Repentance (リペンテンスの棘). Source: I speak Japanese.
His tornado was also a move in Dissidia Duodecim. If you used his EX burst and you made a mistake during the charge, then he would use a Tornado instead.
I’ve already seen a video of 6 emperors and dang did it look entertaining and chaotic. I don’t have the correct console to play this game but each character looks like fun.
Kart Flare? I'm pretty sure it's called "Curse Flare". Evil Tornado is actually "Fear Tornado". Could've used a better description, though. It's probably for those who likes to use Emperor to help allies by harassing enemies with bravery attacks, because this HP attack is best used for self-defense against melee fighters.
I hope Minwu will soon be reveal ! I'm pretty sure he is going to be an awesome white mage with great mobility with teleport/evasion moves ! He might even use his blue shield attached to his belt !
I've been playing this game lately, and the emperor is way more fun than he ever was in 1v1 fights. He's surprisingly better to use and has more to work with. Never played this game when it first came out. But why do I have to buy his ex mode as a costume?!
Chances are he'll just be called "The Emperor" again As far as I know, only the Japanese novel and a weapon in Dissidia have used the name Mateus (aside from the FFXII Esper) but pretty much everyone knows his name
That Evil tornado of Emperor is actually derived from what remains of his Ex-burst, that ex-burst and ex-mode I soooo missed. I was hoping he'd have an ex-skill where he turns to emperor of hell and heaven kind of like Onion knight but with diffeent purposes, but alas it didn't happen. Glad he retained his Starfall, although downgraded to be a brave attack but still its utility is great. If he gets to keep this, then Ex-death better gets his Maelstrom back as well.
If you've played the original Dissidia (and 012) as Emperor and worked around how his character functioned, you'd find that a lot of his gameplay is mind games and set up, as well as situational awareness. If an Emp is not paying attention to you and you sneak up on him, that's their own fault, but one who keeps that situational awareness the entire time will be harder to take advantage of.
Yes. Which mean in theory. he can has 1 blue soul + 1 light chest + 2 red souls + 1 Dynamite + 1 Thunder Crest + 13 Mines + 1 HP attacks + 1 Star fall = 21 traps (If you can cast in in time of course)
imagine if there 6 emperor doing red soul and blue soul together, how the hell you know which is your soul, which is your teammate soul, and which is your enemy soul ? This 3 Vs 3 system is kinda broken.
+Noctis Lucis Caelum if it's a stationary trap like dynamic or thunder crest. It will have a blue or red aura to show you if it's from ally or enemies. Moving traps however have none of it. Here is more crazy idea. If all 6 emperors use Thunder crest -> decay cell -> dynamic -> light crest -> blue soul -> 2 red souls -> starfall = 8 * 6 = 48 traps in that one moment. Good luck dodging that.
i guess Emperor's customize will be looked like ff2 trailer. it will be so fucking cool. Anyway i guess Cloud of Darkness will be the next character ( I guess right once with Emperor so i think my prediction will be right again :)) ) P/s: Kuja's new customize look like a true lady
Adrian Nguyễn My guess is the next villain is either Exdeath, Jecht, Gabranth, or whoever's the villain representative for FFXIII & FFXIV (FFV, FFX, & FFXII have a stage representing them). I have a theory that is if there is no stage representing a series, there won't be a villain shows up from it.
The Villains are being added if their stages are already installed in the game for trailer cinematic effect. We may get Cloud of Darkness if they confirm the FFIII stage next month. However, the developers did confirm that the additions for this year would be villains plus one unexpected character.
Adrian Nguyễn And if they're faithful to their ideas of 50 characters, it's going to be a long time. Even then, they said 50 is a "small number", so...yeah.
Yeah I guess you right. But if Emperor turns out to be imbalance, we'll just expect him to get nerfed somehow, and I would prefer the nerf is not weakening his attacks in general.
Trying to earn that trophy to get 3 S rank with that dude and he is by far the worst character in that game. As soon as you got a Cloud, or any heavy guy or even assassin on you - that's it you're toast. The dude takes ages to land an attack that can easily be dodged and there is nothing you can do -_- I somehow won few matches with him but can't get past A or B even when I'm using everything I can to be a great support for my allies by breaking summoning cores, trying to HP attack people who target them from afar...but as soon as I get locked by a Cloud, Squall, Sephiroth for example, that's it - I'm done for. Worst thing is when I'm getting ganged up playing as him, it's already a challenge to survive a 1v1 even using the mines most people don't take the bait once we're in platinum ranks, so yeah...I'm thinking that guy will cost me my platinum trophy.
So basically David bowie learned magic
Thats called labyrinth.
In single player, in the old Dissidia, Emperor was annoying but there were limitations to what he could do.
In this 3 v 3 Dissidia. Oh boy. He is going to rule heaven and hell.
but if u give him leviathan. He will have great CC. Even when i play Tidus but can't evade them all. Luckyly leviathan is uncommon.
So is this game excusively 3 v 3? Haven't looked at in a few months since it's taking forever for this thing to come out of Japan.
Those limitations turned it into mind games and setup to use him effectively, as well as understanding the enemy AI and other players.
He's tricky, but that's what made him so much fun
long live the emperor
@Adrianto Shinomori Just pay attention to how the AI reacts to his abilities, and exploit it

Behold Emperor Mateus, lord of bullet hell!
long live the emperor
More like Heavy Artillery Hell, yeah? ;3
I paired this guy with Sephiroth as my main and Tidus as my sidekick. Man this combination is too beast. Each had revivefy and enfeeble.
The Starfall is ****ing awesome..!! amazing video as always. I hope Golbez or Jecht will be the next character to appear in Dissidia.
wita gowtama It's gonna take a while for Golbez to come out, I believe since we have Kain as one of the second characters in their respective series to be released.

Mateus is gonna rule Za Warudo!
One of my fav villians!!! Hope to see ultimecia soon
sebastian luna how you feel about her new play style?
Wow I must say new Emperor looks so freaking cool !
Waterstorm He's always cool to me since the original game. A no-nonsense villain who did a good job being a villain beyond forgiveness.

@Waterstorm
U liking Emperor is exactly what he planned :v
Someone else pointed it out: you have mistranslations. It's Curse Flare (カーズフレアー), Fear Tornado (フィアトルネド), and Thorn of Repentance (リペンテンスの棘).
Source: I speak Japanese.
And the "Evil Tornado", it's one of Mateus moves from the past Dissidias: "Cyclone"
Yeah, really wish I can speak Japanese but I still not even good with English so... Crap
Trueblade Seeker My knowledge of Japanese language is limited to reading Katakana. That's why I only corrected 2 HP Attacks.
What is your native language?
Maybe he should be called Emperor Mateus, "The Emperor" never sits well with me.
Yeah, it feels too generic. I wonder why they haven't explicitly used his name beyond references.
This is the Emperor. He is the one who conquered both hell then heaven
excellent description. Ruled earth, heaven and hell( almost) a man of culture
I've always shipped mateus and ultimecia, I can't wait for their mad synergy in this game
ayembic , imagine shipping characters
What's bad in shipping characters? Imagine debunking an opinion.
Well Crap. Looks like I did a pretty bad job at translate HP attacks name this time (Seriously! Kart Flare!)
Trueblade Seeker You tried
That's Katakana in general. Even I got confused sometimes.
Is the word カーズ from カーズフレアー can be translate to curse?
Trueblade Seeker Yes.
Accursed Storm :|
His tornado was also a move in Dissidia Duodecim. If you used his EX burst and you made a mistake during the charge, then he would use a Tornado instead.
It's kindna like Red Soul and Blue Soul/Flare situation. it look the same but with the different name.
I’ve already seen a video of 6 emperors and dang did it look entertaining and chaotic. I don’t have the correct console to play this game but each character looks like fun.
When I saw his dash attack, I committed suicide
Kart Flare? I'm pretty sure it's called "Curse Flare".
Evil Tornado is actually "Fear Tornado". Could've used a better description, though. It's probably for those who likes to use Emperor to help allies by harassing enemies with bravery attacks, because this HP attack is best used for self-defense against melee fighters.
Remember the days we used to do Starfall party in the original and 012. We can only do Starfall as HP attacks.
I hope Minwu will soon be reveal ! I'm pretty sure he is going to be an awesome white mage with great mobility with teleport/evasion moves ! He might even use his blue shield attached to his belt !
I see Flare became a bravery attack now xD
have you founded a 6 emperor matches yet?
Redpika He found 5 Emperors and 1 Cloud. That's the closest you can get for now. I think the link's in his Twitter.
There's a matchup on RUclips somewhere. Too bad I don't have a link :(
A fireball that shoots fire... why not...
Random thought: Blue Soul and Red Soul? It suddenly reminded me of the GBA remake. Could this reference Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls?
No doubt about it, my thought exactly.
I assume the red one is referring to his hell resurrection, and the blue one is his heaven counterpart.
@@illburnmydread
the only villain who rules both heven and hell
Don't mind me watching this video 3 years later.
I want to see Repentance Thorn just before Mateus gets the attack in Opera Omnia.
In Dota 2 terms, this is Techies on steroids.
Sraye yeah so fucking annoying
I've been playing this game lately, and the emperor is way more fun than he ever was in 1v1 fights. He's surprisingly better to use and has more to work with.
Never played this game when it first came out.
But why do I have to buy his ex mode as a costume?!
Where did you get the music? I've been trying to find his song for ages
battle scene 2 from the original first dissidia
Could you do a tier list? And how the meta works? Nice video btw.
I am really hoping laguna shows up next
looks like they improved him a lot!
Is really called Emperor Mateus this time?
Chances are he'll just be called "The Emperor" again
As far as I know, only the Japanese novel and a weapon in Dissidia have used the name Mateus (aside from the FFXII Esper) but pretty much everyone knows his name
That Evil tornado of Emperor is actually derived from what remains of his Ex-burst, that ex-burst and ex-mode I soooo missed.

The tornado is derived from one of his weapons in FFII. :T
That Starfall appeal so much.
I'm really HATE Shoot characters (less Ace)
But they are nothing to me. When i play Speed type or even Firion. just come closer and sneak attack. But i hate Kefka because of his rocket.
Me too. Kefka's movesets it's difficult to dodge
If you've played the original Dissidia (and 012) as Emperor and worked around how his character functioned, you'd find that a lot of his gameplay is mind games and set up, as well as situational awareness.

Starfall was hard to use in duodecim but it's satisfying and funny AF when it hits.
"Leviathan Barb" isn't based on the item from XIV at all...they have the same name but that's literally it.
so there can only be one of each trap active other than red soul?
Yes. Which mean in theory. he can has 1 blue soul + 1 light chest + 2 red souls + 1 Dynamite + 1 Thunder Crest + 13 Mines + 1 HP attacks + 1 Star fall = 21 traps (If you can cast in in time of course)
Does Starfall works like the old ? Is it undodgable or nearly ?
Quite opposite really. if you're not get hit by someone. it's pretty easy to dodge
imagine if there 6 emperor doing red soul and blue soul together, how the hell you know which is your soul, which is your teammate soul, and which is your enemy soul ? This 3 Vs 3 system is kinda broken.
+Noctis Lucis Caelum if it's a stationary trap like dynamic or thunder crest. It will have a blue or red aura to show you if it's from ally or enemies. Moving traps however have none of it.

Add in small circle area. Moving = damage
I got the sneaking suspicion those aren't his actual HP attack names.
Nope. Not for the last three.
DyxoXinoro Dreary Cell, Curse Flare, Fear Tornado, & Thorn of Repentance.
Eeyup. I screw up big time with this one!
even the BGM sound very buggy (getting cutted in middle). Looks like you to rushing creating this one.
What do mean getting cut? I use a 30 minutes version like in the description.
Now all we need are Golbez and Jecht.
I Don't Give A Nastiest Chance, But Who's Emperor Mateus' JP And Eng VA?
Dynamite is one of the funnest braves on this game, don't argue with me. Lol
I take it Kain's the exception a lot of times with this guy xD
You should have put “hard as fuck to use” in the cons
I need these annotations :(
Alright done.
Yush! life has meaning again lol
Nice!
Yeees finally
*distant muda muda*
i guess Emperor's customize will be looked like ff2 trailer. it will be so fucking cool. Anyway i guess Cloud of Darkness will be the next character ( I guess right once with Emperor so i think my prediction will be right again :)) )
P/s: Kuja's new customize look like a true lady

MrCerulean7 Oh, man. They ought to bring the original villains roster. Cloud of Darkness, Golbez, Exdeath, Gilgamesh, Ultimecia, Jecht, and Gabranth.
If they want to give this game a story, they must complete all villains. So just wait when they announced the new stage
Adrian Nguyễn And if they're faithful to their ideas of 50 characters, it's going to be a long time. Even then, they said 50 is a "small number", so...yeah.
Kenyu Horiuchi Is Hot!
Every single character is just a braindead blaster now. So depressing
Wow..shoot type. At first he released on dissidia. I thought he's heavy type like firion, just like kuja and zidane that both of them are speed type.
add some jokes man... Something about emperor ruling over square enix or something.
That's brilliant! I'll take it.
P.S. Be prepare to say goodbye to ending part banter, cause youtube gonna disable annotation feature pretty soon.
What? why ??
how about add video about alternate costume ?
David Bowie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet Starfall will get nerf harder than Kain xD
Razore' Arcwolf Hopefully not.
Here, Starfall can be avoided as long as you keep moving. If that's not already balanced enough, I don't know what is.
Oh yeah its dodge able xD. But at times when it does hit and your all alone...
It would be nice if the nerf is just prolonging its cooldown instead of weakening it in general.
It should remain this way tbh. Its to compensate for his lack of speed
Yeah I guess you right. But if Emperor turns out to be imbalance, we'll just expect him to get nerfed somehow, and I would prefer the nerf is not weakening his attacks in general.
I was waiting for this video... YEAAAAAAAH!! Starfall iiiiiiissssss baaaaaaaackk bitches 👏😂😂
