Day 22 AND Day 23: Feature that excited you most about Dissidia; Most Disappointing Dissidia Feature

Day 22.

THIS REQUIRES ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONSIDERATION.

Quest Sharing.

When that news broke, I was delighted! I could make a quest to accompany crackfic! And I could share them!

Then we get the announcement that the MogWeb will not be provided in the US release.

BUT THAT’S OK BECAUSE STANDARD FILE-SHARING GETS AROUND THIS.

Now if only I could get around to finishing Red Riding Hood and post it (with a script in case someone wants to convert to a non-US region, since the bigwigs at S-E decided to make three separate regions that aren’t cross-compatible WTF S-E?), you could all see just what goes on in my mind.

…that is, besides the surprisingly dark turn it’s taken now that I’ve been writing a more serious!Mateus. The bastard is fun.

AND, AND

Because this was so short, I’ll use this opportunity to make up for the fact that I actually missed a day.

Yeah, I wasn’t conscious on the sixth. I had a bad migraine. It took a few days to let up and its subsequent hangover lasted another three days.

AND SO, HERE IT IS.

Day 23.

Most Disappointing Dissidia Feature (or lack thereof)?

I’m gonna be honest with you guys—when I realized I was behind—a week and a half ago—I started thinking about this question.

And thinking.

AND THINKING.

Considering how good I am at playing the Devil’s Advocate, I can’t really think of one.

I’d like a slightly more involved/bigger quest-creation system (only ten elements of each? I feel a little stretched. …oh well, I can alway make it a multi-quest chain a la any given MMO!) but as my parenthetical here says, I’ve thought of a way around that.

Wifi-muiltiplayer would have been nice, but considering how hot the system runs when you’re fighting in ‘Mecia’s castle against an opponent, something tells me the system would explode in your hands if it tried to render that fight without the PS3 as go-between.

…actually, I take that back. It’s really minor, but.

HAY SQUEENIX, WHAT HAPPENED TO USING ALTS IN STORY MODE? YEAH.

…Feeble, yeah, but it’s all I can think of. XD

Onion's Log, day 11.

What the heck is Zidane doing? He's been running around talking to himself and reciting poetry and stuff. Is he gonna try and talk to Prishe again? I can't keep using my mana just to ice his jaw!

Day 12

OKAY WHERE THE HELL IS MY CLOAK, DAMMIT!? I'M THE ONLY THIEF HERE!

Never mind, my performance alone will charm the maiden! Not that she'll be a maiden for much longer...

Edited 2011-06-25 00:47 (UTC)

Only because she was expecting the genome brothers to get acknowledged which they never did. But then she stopped bitching (or at least was a little quieter about it) and accepted it for the cuteness that it was.

~~well maybe mild, I'm a wimp where it comes to peppers~~

Apparently this is day 13, according to that little blond Onion Kid.

What the hell does that other blond kid think he's doing? I've seen bards that weren't so spoony.

Dear Diary,

That little street urchin doesn't know when to quit, does he!? The nerve---trying to give me advice on how to behave with Zidane! Look you dimwit, you don't even have a younger sibling so who are you to tell me what to do!?

Even if you're taste in hats is impeccable...

Excuse me, I believe I need to consult the sweet nectar that is that Jack Daniels concoction again. (Most obviously a beverage procured by the gods!)

Hey Diary,

What's up with Zidane muttering fancy-ass poetry to himself all of a sudden? And why is my little brother needing so many ethers lately? And can't Prishe learn to share? My little bro's still a kid, he needs to eat more so he can grow!

Oh, and Kuja got into the Jack Daniels again. Things got wild.

That reminds me, I still haven't asked him how old he is...or if he'll show me his tail? (How does Zidane have a tail and he doesn't? Aren't they brothers? Oh wait...I guess they could be like me and my little bro...)

Onion's Log, day 14.

He's drinking it again. The leather pants are back.

This stuff does weird things to people. I wonder what would happen if Prishe got into it...

Actually scratch that. That idea's scary.

Day 16

Oh dear... Oh dear oh dear...! It's missing and I've searched the entire tent! There's no denying it, my Wild rose is Missing!.

I fear I may have embarrassed myself, too, I've already searched the Warrior of Light's tent and tried to find Lightning so I can see if she took it again... (Once more, Cecil caught me trying to see if she was in her tent and... gracious I just had to flee, red face and all!)

... :'(

-F

Day 13

Tonight's the night! I'm gonna steal myself a sweetiepieeeeeeeee

eeeee
eee

ee

Hold up...Vaan just asked Kuja to show his tail. I GOTTA GET IN THERE BEFORE KUJA ULTIMAS HIM OUT OF EXISTENCE!

Day 15.

I put on that bikini top.

I still got it.

((I mean seriously, that was awesome!))

Onion's Log, day 13.

I got a feeling something bad is going to happen for some reason.

And why is Prishe wearing that--that--little bitty--that thing? Where am I supposed to look!?

Day 14

I just remembered I still got the Wild Rose.

I can't believe I ditched my golden opportunity just to watch Kuja and Vaan laugh themselves stupid over their hats. Guys, you both look ridiculous!

Also I never realised before but Kuja's a natural blond. I didn't really care to know that but I guess it does add up...

But what the hell, Kuja!? You never show your tail in public! Or wear pants! WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY BROTHER!?

Hey Diary,

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT! KUJA DOES HAVE A TAIL!

And it's blond. Huh.

I wonder what colour his other hair is...?

He's so cool when he has the Jack Daniels. I thought he was a stuck up prick at first but get some booze down him and he's the best drinking buddy you'll ever have.

But I still don't know how old he is.

Day 15.

BEST. DAY. EVER!

Prishe is smokin'! Oh yeah...

(To be honest I've seen better but I'll take what I can get!)

Edited 2011-06-25 01:11 (UTC)

Hey diary,

Prishe has boobs.

I never noticed that before.

Huh.

Now to get back to mopping up my little bro's nosebleed!

Uh, I don't remember what day it is…

Prishe walked up wearing a top that wasn't much of anything really. I got dizzy after that.

Is-is she gonna fight wearing that?!

Dear Diary,

Why is no one paying attention to me!? What have I done to deserve such little respect!? I've been civil---I haven't insulted them once today! And yet they're all absorbed in their pathetic little love square!

Well fine, if that's the way it's going to be then I don't need any of you! I HAVE THE SWEET RELEASE OF LIQUOR!

Indulge me, Jack Daniels, take me as your lover and offer me the sweet nurture my past could not...

P.S. That Prishe girl has no sense of aesthetics. If you want to wear a provocative outfit that shocks society then do so in a manner that takes class into account! Uncultured ragamuffin...

Oh hey. I just noticed how mad Kuja's been lately. Happened right after I put this top on and all the other boys said "Daamn."

He's just mad because my millkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

Dear diary,

When will those morons understand that even though I am practiced with white magic that is no reason to thrust bleeding children at me! He almost stained my bolero!

Day 16

It's official: Kuja and Prishe are not gonna get along.

Guys, don't make me choose. Because I'd hate to have yet ANOTHER conflict with my brother.

I just gotta get him to warm up to Prishe. Make him like her.

Now the question is how the hell do I do that?

Maybe if I get 'em both really drunk...

((I got an RP going right now LOL))

*unintelligible scrawl*

Kuja has a. Thing. Called it Jack. Daniel. JACKIE D. That looks funny on paper.

It tastes good. I feel awesome.

I bet it would go good with looooooooooooobster.
Yea, lobster and onions!

Onion's log....
Why is Prishe looking at me and waving a fork?

Dear diary,

I think I've worked out exactly why everyone refuses to associate with me.

I'm...not exactly Prince Charming. I never have been. For all the grace of my genteel facade I have been but an ass. Why should they like me? All I ever do is look down on people. I'd hate myself if I were in their shoes.

Perhaps it's time to dismiss this narcissist's mask once and for all.

Do I really need it any more?

I've always been proud to a t with a barbed tongue to strike anyone who means to approach me, friend or foe. Not that I ever had any friends to begin with...

Prishe, is the reason they flock to you because you're honest? Because you have the confidence to be no one but yourself?

...Can I do that?

Perhaps Cosmos' guidance wasn't optimistic babble rehearsed to dress her speech in front of her warriors. Maybe she truly did have a point.

Maybe if I tried toning it down a notch; approaching them with kindness...they'd pay attention to me again?

What do I have to do to earn their trust? I have no clue...

I really need some of that magic liquor right about now.

Onion's Log…

I haven't slept in three days.

They get along now.

But…

DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO DRUNK? And LOUD? AND LOUDLY DRUNK?
…at least they can almost sing.

Dear diary,

yor pretty...!

I jus want you to now.

Heeeehhh...

Did I just write heeehhh...?

Hey look, Vaan, I wrote heeeehhhh! LOOK DAMN YOU!

Whaddya mean you can't read? Of course you can read Terran, moron!

And why is that Onion Brat glaring at us?
