A New Favorite FF song, thanks to Dissidia Duodecim-- Not Alone

I was playing Dissidia Duodecim FF the other day and out of curiosity for more FF IX music, I used some of the PP earned in the game so far to unlock the battle music BGM track, “Not Alone.”

I really like it. It’s been stuck in my head for the past few days. I even went to iTunes to listen to the sample of it (without hearing all the sound FX during the battles). I found out there is an option in the Options Menu, where one can turn off the SFX so that you can hear the music without having the SFX obstructing the nice background music. I just might do that for a few battles and see for myself how that is.

Man I love this song now.  I've never played this game but DDFF introduced me to a few really good music tracks from FF IX.  As for the music track “Darkness of Eternity,” I unlocked that immediately when I realized I could unlock the new BGM music with PP. I already knew what that sounded like (I bought it on iTunes), and it is cool to have it as battle music when fighting as Kuja. Or Zidane versus Kuja.

Here is a link to a video that features "Not Alone" (or "You're Not Alone") along with some footage from the original video game: http://youtu.be/Sx_Qqzs4cfk

Kuja is up two more levels in Dissidia

I played Dissidia: Final Fantasy on Saturday afternoon.  Since I haven't played the game for a while, one of the Moggles gave me 300PP and a Mog's Amulet through the Mognet.  Then I had to play a few Quick Battles with Firion to get used to the controls again.  I was so out of practice, I sucked at playing the first several battles.

I realized my favorite Dissidia villian, Kuja from FFIX, was only at level 2, so I decided to level him up.  Gosh, it is hard to play as him because he only has short distance and long distance attacks.  There aren't attacks that easily go right up to the opponent.  I made a big mistake of having Kuja fight against that brutal Sephiroth, and I won in only one of the three times.  Sheesh.  Sephiroth's so mean.  He didn't give me a break in between attacks sometimes, and before I knew it, Kuja's Bravery Points was at BREAK.   So then I had Kuja fight against Squall in The Rift stage to have a bit of an easier time.  Squall is mean too.  I try not to set up the Quick Battles at an easy difficulty because I like to have a challenging  fight.  Then that way the experience points that my fighter earns are worth it.

Then I got frustrated so I watched all the scenes from Cloud's Destiny Odyssey VII.  It cheered me up.  I like Cloud's awkward dialogue with his battle pals.  Steve Burton is the perfect voice for him.  I cannot hear  Cloud having any other voice.  =P 

Anyway, now Kuja is level 4, from 2.  He should've been at least level 6, if   I    didn't    lose   those   battles   against   Sephiroth!!

Dissidia on May 16th--Finished Firions's Destiny Odyssey

Dissidia on May 16th (Sorry, this post was delayed)  

I finished Firion’s Destiny Odyssey. I recorded some Quick Battles playing as Firion and then as Kuja. For some reason I like to pit Kuja against Sephiroth, because Sephiroth is a very hard opponent to beat, and Kuja’s attacks miss 50% of the time. At least I know how to dodge now; before I didn’t know how to dodge and there were attacks I could’ve saved my fighter’s ass from. When Kuja dodges, he says, “Well, now…” I can fill it in with “Well now, isn’t that interesting?” or “Well now, don’t be so stubborn, I want my attack to actually HIT you, Sephiroth! Cuz you’re so mean. Yes.”

One battle with Kuja I saved because he finishes Sephiroth with the EX Burst Attack, in his red Trance form. “Talent can be so cruel.” Whether Kuja’s in his normal form or his Trance form, he always appears womanly. I wonder if anyone also put Kuja against Sephiroth and came up with fan-fiction from the result.  I'm sure it happened.  (Gasp, OMG) Maybe I can give that a try…….? 0.O That battle I saved was really good. I used EX Burst, then it didn’t work, and then Sephiroth used his, but luckily I pushed the O button enough to defend Kuja’s life points from Sephiroth (I mean, hit-points…where did I get “life points,” Yu-Gi-Oh!?). It seemed that Sephiroth was going to win. But then I had Kuja use EX Burst when his EX Gauge was full again, and that finished it.

So what happens now? Well, Kuja is fuzzy and kinda nekkid, so….yuh know…

LEVELING UP

Bartz is level 12…still…

Jecht is level 2 now

Kuja is level 2 since I played a couple of battles as him against Sephy

Gosh, wouldn’t it be better to see this battle rather than having me write about it? Man…

Dissidia on Wednesday Feb. 10th

This post is quite late; it's a DFF update.

Zidayne?  Zidawn?  Zeedahneh? 

Last Wednesday I decided to try to finish Destiny Odyssey I and do some more leveling up. I would have played on Tuesday but I played in several Bonus Days in a row, and on that day I didn’t want to force myself to play it. I kept saying I want to get to another game soon. But I unlocked Kuja!!! =D He’s very fun to play because he glides. Heh heh, I have to get used to his attacks, since they’re so different compared to the others. Kuja doesn’t even use a sword (he can probably use a magic wand, though…0.-… -.0) And I learned that Zidane pronounces his name KOO- JUH.  But I think it's too late, because I call him Kuya now.  Been for some time.

     And I'm sorry, but I like to pronounce Zidane's name Zih-DAYNE, which forces me to smile :)   The spelling suggests that  particular pronunciation to me, but Squall and Bartz say it like Zih-DAWN. 

Zee-Dah-NEH?  Nahhh, I like Zih-DAYNE.

:3 

I leveled up Warrior of Light to Level 22 first. I would have to anyway, since the last time I played Destiny Odyssey I had trouble. It was interesting watching the scenes with Warrior of Light and Garland, talking about the “cycle of conflict” or something like that. Then "this would be the fight to end it."  And other stuff. o.0  “I have the light, and that is all that I need.” Oooookay, what about your sword, and shield, and armor, and helmet, and other stuff you use to actually fight, WoL? 

I wanted to unlock the Museum function, but then I wondered why it didn’t unlock after finishing DO I.  I looked at the strategy guide for what unlocks the Museum, and it says “after finishing two Destiny Odysseys…” and I go like, “Ooooooh, okay, now I know. The next one I’ll be able to finish is Zidane’s DO IX.  I left off at the beginning of DO IX-5 (he leveled  up to 20).  His DO is easier to play than Warrior of Light’s (but I didn’t realize that until later).  Then I tried Kuja vs Sephiroth, and then the Chocobo "warked," so I had to fight as Cloud vs Sephiroth in the Quick Battles to gain some luck.   Next it might be either Firion or Cloud's Destiny Odyssey.
