On Tuesday Feb. 2nd, I played Dissidia Final Fantasy as it was my Bonus Day. Here is a summary: I leveled up Cloud and Bartz, and then I played an Arcade Mode round as Bartz. Then it was too late to finish a Destiny Odyssey, so I played as Zidane in a couple of Quick Battles and leveled him up as well.
The details:
I started playing at 3:45pm. After leveling up Cloud and Bartz for nearly an hour, I played Bartz in Arcade Mode and his first opponent was Terra. I won that first battle. My second opponent was Cloud. (sniffle) I kept saying “Sorry Cloud, but it’s for the PP. Sorry, sorry!” I lost the first battle against him, but then Bartz won the retry fight. Then next the third opponent was Zidane. Gosh, he’s hard to fight when he’s controlled by the computer. He’s fast, and when I miss he says, “Slow!” cuz I wasn’t fast enough to get him. I lost the first battle against him too. I retried the battle and won. Yay? “Sorry Zidane, it’s for the PP!”
My fourth opponent was Golbez. I lost the first battle, won the retry. Are these arcade battles getting harder or am I not timing my attacks the best way? <.<;;; … >.>;; Anyway, my fifth and final opponent was Kefka. Not only is he one of my least favorite villains…um, do I have a favorite, oh yeah, it’s Kuja (sorry Sephiroth, you’re a close second). Bartz had to fight Kefka in the Planet’s Core stage. As much as I admire the stage for it’s homage to Final Fantasy VII, the separated bits of ground are a problem, unless I am locked onto an EX Core or the opponent. Kefka has a funny laugh o.O And when he says, “Don’t mess with me!” he does this powerful attack that I can never seem to avoid, because he does it when I am in midair.
My Warrior of Light is still Level 19. Bartz is level 2 now. Cloud is currently at level 12 ^,^ and Zidane is now level 16, up from 14. He leveled up twice in one fight because I changed him into his EX Mode form three times and got a lot of critical hits out of Squall. Some attacks got 1,000 EXP each; one was +6,000 EXP, another was +3,400 EXP. It was Bonus Day, after all! It was the first time I had a character level up twice in one fight. Zidane got lucky!
Sonic Unleashed, or Jak TLF…Sonic Rivals 2? I need to take a Sonic or Jak break. Hah, I had all that Squeenix goodness.

You must have really good attention span for that game. I played it it till Bartz and couldn't play it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I do love Final Fantasy, but when I bought Final Fantasy I thought it would be more razzle-dazzle than what it actually is.
You can level me up if you want lol, just kidding. I hate leveling.
It may seem like I have a good attention span for this, but what really helps me out is when I use an old microcassette recorder, in which I take audio notes on the progress of a game I play. I got tired of pausing the game and taking a pen and writing down notes. Speaking into a small voice recorder is faster and more accurate, in my opinion (especially for occasions were during a "gameplay recording" I have unexpected exclamations).
I scrolled down the "choose character" menu and read out the levels of the corresponding character as I saw them. Save's time, and I won't have to beat myself up for mixing up character levels.
Oh, a tip for Dissidia: you can start playing from any Destiny Odyssey story, it doesn't have to be in FF-number order. But yes, taking a break from Dissidia can be a good idea :) And leveling up won't be too overwhelming if it is done in short ass-kicking sessions ;)
Haha, good thinking. Still it's not that the leveling that threw me off as much as the single team. I was hoping for at least a tag team, and monsters that you can battle from previous Final Fantasy titles.
