    Wait. Tifa wasn't a default character.
    Maybe NT is No Tifa.

      Manuel Alberto Romero Lasted less than an afternoon, had no special cutscenes aside from the one in the trailers, and the story literally goes nowhere despite the setup. Spoiler alert: We never see anything come from Luigi being possessed. And the challenges range from laughably easy to a frustrating chore. Felt like a last minute addition and ultimately disappointing. Maybe worth $20. But not $60. Oh, and Bowser Jr is broken.

      Well, considering that this is a port of another game, not to mention the story is rather underwhelming as it is at the moment, maybe they will "actually try" for the next one? I have a feeling this game is a beta test for another game in the future

    Also, you forgot to mention that the point of Dissidia's combat was to emulate the feel and speed of Advent Children's fight scenes [hence the grinding on rails and the mid-air dashes].
    NT seems to have forgotten that.

    Maverick, I feel your pain about Dissidia NT, being a retired Summoner for League of Legends and a fan of Dissidia 012 made me really disappointed in this game. I only played it once at a friend's house, but man do I feel bad for my friend for buying it after hearing your review about it. Square Enix and Team Ninja really screwed up with making a gamble about this being the next Esport game and they should have at LEAST allowed customization for the Bravery and HP moves instead of rushing it and it was not worth it. At. ALL.
    I would give you a hug if I could man, I really would.

    Moral of the story: never get too excited for any game ever. I, as well as likely many others, learned this with sonic forces.
    Also, I think NT stands for “not to be played by casual fans” I know that’s more than two words, but it makes a lot of sense to me.

    I can understand how disappointed you were for this game, and I was expecting it to be like the PSP games as well. Coming from my own bias perspective, after playing the game in Japan from the arcade machine, I still say I enjoy this game. True that the way this game was arranged for the console release wasn’t a right move, but I can still hope for more future Dissidia or a Final Fantasy fighting game of any sort. Still holding out for a Beatrix DLC character.

    What a shame...

  • @Chzrm3
    @Chzrm3 5 лет назад +4

    Thanks for this review! I was on the fence about this game cause I really enjoyed the first dissidia and absolutely loved the second. But I was skeptical as soon as I saw gameplay from this because it didn't feel like Dissidia to me at all.
    I'm glad you pointed out the level design in NT, I hadn't even thought of that but yeah Dissidia 012 had amazing levels. Now I wanna go play that game again.

  • @popplio7891
    @popplio7891 6 лет назад +35

    Well Maverick, you just saved me from buying this game. I was also HYPED to play this game, and I would have definitely bought it at $25, but with this story progression, detrimental partner AI, the lack of customization, lack of EX, lack of 1-on-1 fights, I can safely say, YOU SAVED ME. Thank you, let's hope Square hears your criticisms and tries to make a proper sequel to this criminally underrated spin-off series.

    • @princeofhalcyon
      @princeofhalcyon 6 лет назад +1

      I should mention you can actually fight 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 in lobbies, but people never mention that cause they got too triggered by the changes i guess :P

    • @Sticksnstones77
      @Sticksnstones77 6 лет назад +1

      I dunno, that doesn't sound like it would salvage the stripped down combat. Besides, can you even do that offline or do you have to invite friends?

    • @princeofhalcyon
      @princeofhalcyon 6 лет назад

      (sorry this is alot) Yeah you can, theres a sparring mode where you can set the conditions you want, 1 v 1 or even 1 v 3 against A.I. (which he didnt notice/didnt mention) And in a way the game actually gives you more tools compared to the other. because of their ap system, you could only have like 3 or 4 brave attacks and 2 hp attacks for some, but here you have 3 on the ground, and 3 in the air, plus dash attacks, so thats actually 2 more brave attacks than you could equip in the last game. I can see how only having 1 hp seems bad, but its something you can get used to, and Vaan can equip 2 if anyone really wants someone with more than 1. And dodging actually gives you some frame advantage now because everyones not so floaty. A lot of complaints in this review were really exaggerated sadly. Like the complaint about 3 v 3 being too much to handle, theres games where some teams have like 15 people on each side with long range guns and those are playable. Also he mentioned the loot boxes but failed to mention theres a shop you can buy whatever you want from with gil. Also didnt mention the A.I gets smarter as their rank goes up so they'll fight better. And you get items to advance the story faster than you need them. Take it from someone thats already done well over 1500 battles in the span of a month (and almost 100% the last 2 games) This review is looking at the game with nostalgia blinds and wishing it was an HD duodecim. It's also been popular in japan for years now before it got a western release so its not dying like people think. I loved the old dissidia games and spent over 240 hours on em, but their combat would NEVER work competitively, it was broken as hell when you actually look at it, and a lot of people didnt wanna play with personal customization online for that reason, they stuck to the imp armor set and basic accessories just to balance things a bit more. And square wanted a pvp focused experience this time, so unfortunately all that stuff had to go. I understand not liking changes, but saying they ''dont work'' because you didnt wanna try and get used to them isn't a fair judgement. And its a shame when people wont even try things at least because of perspectives like this.

    • @unbothered5240
      @unbothered5240 6 лет назад

      princeofhalcyon thank you for calling this out, I was going to write down and call out everything he was over exaggerating, blatantly wrong about, or simply stuck on duodec.. but the entire video honestly is a letdown in any aspect of a proper game review. Even his points about plot, were pretty..off.

    • @princeofhalcyon
      @princeofhalcyon 6 лет назад

      Yeah, this whole video is just being stuck in the past. I mean the game has been in arcade already for years, people could've easily seen what it was like before it came out here. '

  • @LegendaryCaptain
    @LegendaryCaptain 5 лет назад +2

    looking back this is my favorite video of yours and it deserves way more views because dissidia is something you held close and with an entry like this I can only imagine... but I bet not only was this video hard to make because of the usual video process but also because you had to have courage to put this out there trust me I can relate in a way (minus the video part) to paper Mario because of sticker star

  • @venzep3758
    @venzep3758 6 лет назад +2

    While it is heartbreaking to see the qualities that made Dissidia a very remarkable experience stripped away, I still kind of want to play the full game of NT for myself one day to see where I stand. Though I'm not going to pay full price for NT, that's for sure.

  • @WolfDB
    @WolfDB 6 лет назад +5

    First off, I sadly don't think we're getting Tifa as a DLC character, especially since I'm pretty sure Dissidia NT's underwhelming sales means that Square has no reason they'll support the game any further and the hints at the 6 DLC characters for the season pass indicate that they'll only have 1 returning character be DLC, and the options are limited to Yuna and Prishe. So no Gilgamesh, Laguna, or Tifa. In fact, 1-7 aren't planned to have any DLC characters after Locke as the rest of the DLC characters they're doing are all from 8-15 with no one from any of the spin-off games, which means popular characters from those games like Minwu, Rydia, Celes, Aerith, Zemus, Leon, or Vincent will be used. We might get Vivi, Auron, Seymour, Balthier, Basch, or Sazh, and the next DLC character as of writing this is going to be a female character, but the fact that most of the characters people actually want to play as won't be able to because this game's sales were underwhelming is the issue
    Second, I really wanted to like this game, I really did. But everything about this game just made me sad. The online mode isn't even that great. Your teammates will often be unreliable unless you're playing with friends, and the game works on a rock-paper-scissors type system where certain character types can beat certain other character types and some of the options you could have are clearly better than others. Cloud is clearly the best Vanguard option, Terra and Y'shtola are clearly the best Marksman options, Zidane is clearly the best Assassin option, and Ramza is clearly the best Specialist option. This means that there's no point in having a 1v1 mode because only 3 or 4 options are really that viable out of a roster of 20+ characters and certain character types beat out other character types. But even if you do the 3v3 option, it takes a long time just to find a match and there's plenty of lag to be had.
    Third, for some reason, I actually only had a problem with two bosses, but those two bosses still irritated me when I had to fight them in story mode, that being Ramuh and Odin. That being said, others have complained about other bosses. I've heard complaints about Leviathan, Shiva, AND Bahamut. Surprisingly, Alexander and Ifrit aren't really considered, but they do also feel like the easiest to exploit. I found the best option is to let your AI Teammates throw themselves at the bosses, dodge the bosses attacks, and do one bravery attack when the bosses are open so that way you can build up Bravery for when they're able to be hit with an HP attack. Of course, that's a lot easier said than done.

  • @FletcherReedsRandomness
    @FletcherReedsRandomness 3 года назад +3

    I feel Dissidia NT suffers from the same problem that Street Fighter V suffered from before Capcom decided to make video games properly again, which is that Square wanted to turn it into an Esport, while forgetting that games need to be complete games FIRST, and THEN they grow passionate communities. I picked this game up at launch, and I dropped it after two weeks. I just grew bored of the game, and the story mode was completely uninterested (albeit not without its moments. Like you said, the Ultimate Rap Battle between Shantotto and Ultimecia is hilarious, Terra and Kuja's scene is really cute and I low-key ship them now, and Bartz and Cloud's bromance is something I didn't know I wanted). It's gotten better, but I've only picked up the game a few times since launch.
    Edit: Music's great as well. Not all of them (WTF happened to Seymour Battle?), but Decisive Battle, Dancing Mad, The Man With the Machine Gun, Something to Protect, The Darkness of Eternity, FFX's Battle Theme, and ALL of FFXII's themes are fantastic, and either come close to or surpass the originals.

  • @AbbiXIII
    @AbbiXIII 6 лет назад +2

    I wonder if Dissidia would ever pull characters from other square titles. I'd like to see how the design team would redesign the characters from Bravely Default for example.

    @MugenLord 6 лет назад +1

    NT is fun as hell, love this game. The original Dissidia with all the customization made the game unbalanced and broken. The developers said this game was meant for competitive play AKA esports. The game is about Team play, not Solo play. High Level tournament play for this game is hype, look it up. But the game is balanced around the class system and since it was originally an arcade game, every character have a set moveset which is fine since the game is about team play and coordinating with your teammates. If you don't have friends or a solid team then forget this game, its not fun playing solo. If you go into this expecting the PSP experience then you will be disappointed, but if you judge the game for what it is. Then you will have a good time playing this game, I can't put this game down with my brothers.

    The opponent could also actually defend themselves against an EX Burst by tapping the O button a certain level. This causes that opponent to take heavily reduced damage and make the EX Burst pretty much not worth it. That's the reason why whenever I was in EX Mode, I would just go ham on them using the special abilities being in EX Mode gives (Warrior of Lights "Light Swords" and Golbez's Black Fang being my favorite choices) which is also not in this game. A shame really.

    • @princeofhalcyon
      @princeofhalcyon 6 лет назад

      I thought the majority of old dissidia players just banned ex skills and equipment customization online entirely because it could make you too broken. Everyone i saw and knew just used the imps armor set. No one used chase attacks either. The old games were fun as rpg's but against real people the problems seemed far too many. Since they wanted to focus this one on pvp theres no way they coulda kept everything they had before and still have a game people actually trying to be competitive would tolerate

  • @BladeCrossEXE
    @BladeCrossEXE 9 месяцев назад +1

    What we really need is a remake of Dissidia 012, on Modern platforms with enhanced graphics and sound, but keep the gameplay and customization exactly the same as it was, just fit for a PlayStation controller instead of a PSP. Normally when it comes to fighting games, I would be upset if there was no split screen, but since the original PSP games didn't have split screen, I'd be fine with online only PVP.

  • @TheAucoin
    @TheAucoin 6 лет назад +2

    Totally agree with your gripes with the story, but the online gameplay is fine (so long as you don't get paired with bots). It looks like you could use some practice at defending and how to bait and switch opponents. Most of the things they stripped from the earlier Dissidia games were kinda necessary when they moved to 3v3. With that said, I do understand why a lot of people are bummed that there isn't any 1v1 online, but at the same time, it's difficult to balance a roster to work as a 3v3 AND 1v1 fighter (it'd be pretty much impossible).

  • @masterofbloopers
    @masterofbloopers 5 лет назад +1

    Luckily for me, Dissidia NT was my first Dissidia game, thus I had literally no standards. So I was able to enjoy the game while Dissidia veterans panned it. I hope this game can somehow win back Dissidia fans, but I highly doubt it. Dissidia Arcade is still popular in Japan, and if NT had the content Dissidia fans wanted, it would be considered a superior version to its arcade counterpart. So in order to keep the arcade game prosperous, they have to make sure NT doesn’t offer more than the arcade version.

    @MrVanityPrince 6 лет назад +1

    What really broke me on this game was the way the DLC was handled. I actually enjoyed NT from a gameplay perspective, despite some of the missteps. But after getting the season pass and waiting for Vayne only to find his alternate costume wasn't included and that a weapons pack came out that was for to expensive for something that should've been included for free in a patch update like they are doing with some new stages. It was after Vayne was released that I gave up on the game, the slimy business practice really disheartened me.

    I had a similar experience with Sonic Forces...or more accurately, with Infinite, since I never played Sonic Forces.
    The guy had literally _everything_ going for him.
    He had a cool design.
    His theme song was awesome(and it actually related to his character, which is something we haven't seen sense Sonic 06, you know, _11_ years ago?).
    He was properly hyped up.
    HE WAS VOICED BY LIAM O'F***ING BRIEN!
    And they did ABSOLUTELY _NOTHING_ WITH HIM.

    So yeah. It may be slightly different experience, but I totally understand how you feel.

    I have to agree with you. While I like Dissidia NT for its gameplay and the fact that it brought Locke from Final Fantasy 6 into the game as DLC. I dont like how it went away from what I loved about the first two games... I hope that if Square Enix ever makes another Dissidia game, that they go back to the original style but with NT's graphics.

    I've had an interest in Dissidia for sometime but was a little on the fence after the talk from you and some other people that this one didn't do so hot. Nice to see some detail as to how it dropped the ball without the review letting it's negative nature lead to overly high rage (seriously. not a fan of that kind of video style).

    I haven’t played any of the Dissidia games, but it seems to me that NT falls into the “decent standalone, bad sequel” category of games. Like here, the core gameplay seems pretty solid in a vacuum, if not fantastic. It’s only when you compare it to the previous two games that it starts to suck.

    Sorry this game didn't turn out well Maverick...I really am. This game looked like it was going to be great, and i even played the beta myself. but sadly, there was too many bad, and even mind boggling decisions to make this game worth getting.... Honestly, i think if they made 1v1 the main thing and kept 3v3 as an optional way to play, this game would have been much better in my opinion. Maybe you can make a video that describes how you would fix NT if you could

    • @princeofhalcyon
      @princeofhalcyon 6 лет назад

      You can, thats why im wondering why people never mention the lobbies. Seems like they give up as soon as they realize the game was meant for pvp in arcades and not a half rpg half arena fighter like the previous ones. Looking at this game just for single player is really gonna make anyone hate it. Ive played the hell out of all three games and a lot of complaints here were really exaggerated sadly. Story mode does indeed suck, (no one plays core battle, its not fun :P ) but the three on three complaint about not being able to do anything would be like saying you cant do anything in a shooter cause theres too many guys with guns. Some of those have like 15 people on each team and people can still use their awareness to play those. Also he mentioned the loot boxes but failed to mention you can buy anything you want in the shop with gil you earn. And you get the items to advance the story faster than you need them so its not a grind, also forgot to mention the A.I gets smarter as their rank goes up to so they aren't completely useless. Theres just a lot of bitterness in this review which im fine with, but he was making it sound like the game doesnt work because of the changes, being bad at changes doesnt mean they don't work, and it just seems like his emotions were holding him back from really trying to get into anything. (Sorry thats so long)

    • @princeofhalcyon
      @princeofhalcyon 6 лет назад

      Im fine if people were disaapointed, i just wish itd be for the games own reasons and not because it wasn't like something else. I mean ff games change their style all the time but they all feel like final fantasy. 13 and lightning returns, 10 and 10-2. I will agree the story is absolute jank tho, they really shoulda just saved themselves time and not even bothered if it was gonna be that lazy. Just do an overwatch basically, make it clear the games fully multiplayer focused so people wouldn't come in expecting another rpg

  • @firehea1995
    @firehea1995 6 лет назад +3

    I played the first two games and loved them so was expecting NT to be a similar experience. And I was left disappointed. My main problems are the fact you had to do 3 on 3 battles and if your AI partners (who be very useless at times) die too often. (and trust me they do a LOT) that's it, you've failed! And what's worse is the difficulty of the story fights, some of which are the highest difficulty in the game (don't even get me started on summon battles) it would have been better if the battles were one on one like in the older games and the difficulty wasn't so harsh in the story. Another problem I have is the way you progress through the story in which you have to collect Memoria (I think that's what its called) which you can only get in the online/offline modes. I also don't like the fact you only have one HP attack (apart from Vann who has two for some reason), no more EX mode (I loved using the EX burst). The graphics are impressive, music is nice and I did enjoy some of the combat. I just feel NT would have been better an online multiplayer game.

    For you. Everything is your opinion. I am a fan of this game and you can watch my gameplay of NT to see how to actually play the game because the way I saw it you didn't play this game correctly. The thing i will give you credit for is that this game is definitely not for casuals which is bad but other then that just learn the game, do some research. You don't have to like the game its ok but dont say its a bad game overall. Please watch TrueBlade Seekers video and have a better perspective than just playing it, not learning it and judging it.

When I heard they're making something for the PS4, I was excited cause I liked fighting games like Persona 4 Arena and this reminded me of it. I never bought this one after seeing reviews, and I'm really disappointed that it's worse than I imagined. Ah well, it seems like everyone's wanting online multiplayer nowadays instead of good stories... but that's my opinion.

    My complaints? Day one the Circle Button was the Jump Button and the vise-versa and the Summon Boss Battles is a Gauntlet Mode....
    Small jokes I made playing it... Spiritus looks like a buff version of Ansem's Heartless (Kingdom Hearts) with makeup, the new 'Cosmos' looks like she's getting a bit into steampunk, Kuja has a rival for the "Man with the most Girly Hips" thanks to Ramza, and my first thoughts when seeing Shinryu's second phase: Oh Goodie! He's ALL the summons in ONE PACKAGE! Because ONE wasn't enough!
