FFXIV: FIGHT! For Eorzea

[Colino]

If they make another installment i'd like to see XIV appear in it besides just the character model images. Also the mechanics for Dissidia are by far the best in any fighting game I have ever played.

Oh wow. I'm sorry but you must have not played many fighting games then. (Let me put on record that I actually enjoy Dissidia)

Other fighting games are awful sidescrollers.

That is probably one of the most ignorant things I've ever read about any videogame.

(Love the screenies Kaminto! What settings are you playing on?)

My settings are on max for the most part (i think i have ambient occlusion off) I used FRAPS to get the screenshots.

They are, though. Most fighting games follow the same formula - things like MK, Streetfighter, and anything to do with anything - are boring button-mashing side-scroller games. Dissidia is the only one I've liked, alongside UNS2, because of 360 degrees of movement. Ninja Storm 2 is easy to pick up and play, but fairly difficult to master entirely, and the large stages offer incentive to move around. The same goes for Dissidia, offering battle in the air as well as on the ground.

Any other kind of fighting game or brawler is boredom incarnate.

I don't want to derail the thread to much, but again calling something like SF a button masher is sheer ignorance. There are tournaments world wide with thousands of entrants each, there's people who make a living playing fighting games. I can assure the the amount of skill required to play games like SF4 at the top level is astounding and on par with anything you see in Starcraft or "e-sports" in general. There's a reason Dissidia is not played in any of these tournaments (as good of a game I think it is).

Just drop the conversation here and keep it to SRK forums... they'll only understand those games as much as this comic implies.

But what about my Dhalmel counter pick analysis?

I would like to give the template a whirl first chance I get, after the benchmark of course...is fraps free?
