So this is just a thread to see what people think of the new form of Dissidia if they are able to get in the closed beta.
Personally it's a mixed batch for me. The production values are way up and the game looks gorgeous. Little details down to every character having unique dialogue for the summon they use is pretty nice, though I fear we may lose match-up specific dialogue in it's place.
However as beautiful as it looks parts of it feel very different. Only having one HP attack seems a real shake up from before and it might kill a lot of the fun of it for me. There's some characters I don't know how they'll even function with one HP attack.
Losing EX Modes and EX bursts is also pretty disappointing as I like flashy moves and power-up modes in fighting games. Sure some Ex skills function as EX modes (Terra still goes Trance after all) but for some people I'm not sure it's really anything special at all. Tidus and Lightning just get an extra brave attack as their EX skill.
The beta is also pretty horrible in showing movesets. None of the options show you what the character's 'unique' EX skill does nor what any of their regular bravery attacks do which can make it tricky to dive in with a character.
Most of all I hope there's still an RPG-style progression system and room to customise characters well from the old games. I might lose interest in it fast otherwise when the final game comes out.
