• Salvation Staff: Level 100

Assist Attacks

• Ground BRV: Blizzara
• Ground HP: Requiem
• Aerial BRV: Fira
• Aerial HP: Lance of Atrophy

Chase Attacks

• Neutral: Seymour swipes his staff outward, mirroring Yuna’s original attack animation
• Up: Seymour swipes upward with his staff, mirroring his original attack animation.
• Down: Seymour swipes downward with his staff, mirroring Auron’s original attack animation
• HP: The Mortibody appears and slams into the opponent.

While being just as much of a zoner as any other mage in Dissidia, Seymour is far more aggressive than his fellow warriors of Chaos. Rather than focusing on spacing and stage control, he has a wide variety of spells that let him keep some kind of pressure on the opponent at all times. Slow moving Watera, quick moving Fira, being able to spawn projectiles directly on top of opponents with Blizzara and Thundara, or keeping them in palace with Break and Demi lets him control the opponent directly through a constant salvo of magic. On top of this it is very hard to prevent his HP damage from going through if he lands his shots, as most of his HP Attacks do not deal any hits of BRV damage.

He can also passively apply pressure through Total Annihilation the same way Emperor can with Starfall or Exdeath with Maelstrom, due to its long charge time and the ease at which he can cancel out of it. Even bad approaches can be snuffed out with a handful of attacks that spawn the Mordibody from his Natus fight, let alone his unique defensive tool Banish, which accells at preventing the opponent’s assist.

His EX-Mode even lets him chain almost any attack into an HP hit, as it grants him the ability to link almost any attack together with if he breaks the opponent. When combined with how it lets him spawn multiple projectiles at once with his elemental magic, thanks to the Mortiphasm wheel that appears behind him, this EX-Mode can be seen as letting him play as a discount version of Jecht while active. Especially if the player is running Calcabrina as their summon.

However, that assist prevention is very important to Seymour, as his main weakness is that he has a hard time landing his HP Attacks in the first place. His only decently fast HP attacks, Cross Cleave and Desperado, are very short range and his most reliable HP, Requiem, leaves him vulnerable to being assist punished if the opponent isn’t caught by the initial absorption effect. He is also quite slow, making him reliant on Banish and the Mordibody should the opponent manage to close the gap. His fastest close range tool, Desperado, also has Melee Low priority, making it reliant on its speed as a surprise factor outside of a niche use to bat away Ranged Low projectiles.

Thus Seymour is very good at controlling the neutral and has an amazing advantage state while in EX-Mode, but struggles while in disadvantage and is highly reliant on either EX or Assist in order to actually land his HP Attacks. But, with proper setup and pressure, he can force the opponent into the Farplane.

BRV Ground Attacks

• Blizzara: Summon ice directly underneath the opponent
  • EX: Three crystals of ice form around the opponent in rapid fire, knocking them about before a fourth one appears below them and shatters.
• Watera: Conjure a ball of water that chases after the opponent
  • EX: Four balls of water appear around Seymour as he floats slightly into the air, flying outwards before converging on the target. Leaves him airborne for a few actionable frames before he touches the ground with no landing lag.
• Ultima: Seymour holds his staff in front of him as orbs of light rotate around the opponent. After a brief moment, they will batter into the opponent in rapid succession, holding them in place before blasting them upwards. While this can ceiling rush, doing so is very circumstantial due to its limited vertical range.
• Break: Stones erupt from the ground. If the opponent is caught, they are trapped in place for a brief moment.
• Desperado (Ground): The Mortibody whips around, smacking away the opponent. Extremely fast, but short range and low priority. Initiates Chase.
• Banish (Ground): Pyreflies float around Seymour before flying outward, launching away anyone nearby him. Only deals a weak hit, but has surprisingly high block priority while the Pyreflies are floating around and has increased tracking when targeting an assist.

BRV Aerial Attacks

• Fira: Seymour conjures a bolt of flame from his staff that chases down the opponent.
  • EX: Four bolts of fire shoot out instead in quick succession.
• Thundara: Cast lightning down upon the opponent.
  • EX: Four bolts of lightning strike down and spiral around the opponent, converging onto them after boxing them in.
• Flare: Energy converges into a single point before exploding outward. Can be held to delay the explosion. Wallrushes.
• Demi: Seymour conjures a gravity well near the opponent, sucking them in and trapping them inside for multiple, small BRV hits.
• Desperado (Aerial): The Mortibody whips around, smacking away the opponent. Extremely fast, but short range and low priority. Initiates Chase.
• Banish (Aerial): Pyreflies float around Seymour before flying outward, launching away anyone nearby him. Only deals a weak hit, but has surprisingly high block priority while the Pyreflies are floating around and has increased tracking when targeting an assist.

HP Ground Attacks

• Total Annihilation (Ground): Seymour holds the staff in front of himself, chanting an incantation to himself. Has a long charge up period that can be dodge canceled out for most of it. If this charge period successfully finishes, energy rays will chase down the opponent, locking them into the attack before several missile-like projectiles slam into the opponent, ending in a massive explosion that sends them into a ceiling rush on most stages.
  • EX: When cast via Such Sweet Sorrow the casting time is reduced, but not eliminated. As such it isn’t a reliable follow up to a BRV Break. However, it can chain into itself if the opponent is BRV Broken by one of the energy rays.

I shall end your suffering, and grant you an Eternal Calm in the Farplane.

• Requiem: Seymour holds his hand up near his face as dark energy collapses inward in front of him, drawing the opponent to its center. After a few moments, several explosions rock the opponent while they’re trapped in it before blasting them out. The button can be held to delay the explosions.
• Cross Cleave: The Mortibody appears beside Seymour and it slashes it’s tail forward at the same time he swings his staff upward, creating a cross shaped blast of energy in front of himself. Short range, but good at catching dodges due to its size and shape.
• Pain: Seymour holds his staff in front of him before throwing out a misty sphere of dark energy. This energy will slowly float after the opponent, chasing them with high tracking.

HP Aerial Attacks

• Total Annihilation (Aerial): Seymour holds the staff in front of himself, chanting an incantation to himself. Has a long charge up period that can be dodge canceled out for most of it. If this charge period successfully finishes, energy rays will chase down the opponent, locking them into the attack before several missile-like projectiles slam into the opponent, ending in a massive explosion that sends them into a ceiling rush on most stages.
  • EX: When cast via Such Sweet Sorrow the casting time is reduced, but not eliminated. As such it isn’t a reliable follow up to a BRV Break. However, it can chain into itself if the opponent is BRV Broken by one of the energy rays.

I shall end your suffering, and grant you an Eternal Calm in the Farplane.

• Lance of Atrophy: Seymour’s staff floats in the air before diving at the opponent bottom first. Deals a single hit of HP damage, high knockback, and can ground/wall rush.
• Shattering Claw: The Mortibody appears and whips around Seymour, dealing a single hit of HP damage to anyone nearby.
• Black Sky: Seymour holds his staff in front of him for a moment before pointing it downward. Ten small meteors will then fly downward towards the opponent. Highly inaccurate, but can hit the opponent multiple times for additional chip damage with good RNG.

EX-Mode: Seymour Omnis
“Death awaits you!”

• Regen: Vigor and stamina recover little by little, restoring HP
• Multi-Spell: Elemental magic is now cast multiple times from the Mortiphasm.
• Such Sweet Sorrow: Can cancel into any attack after the opponent BRV Breaks.

EX-Burst: Oblivion

The EX-Burst begins by having the Mortibody crash the opponent through the screen and into the EX-Zone.

Once inside the blast zone a giant, tri point hook slams down into the stage and pulls up a scaled down version of Anima, for the sake of the PSP’s memory. The camera then lowers into a secondary, special EX-Zone as her true form appears. The player can then rapidly press O to rack up damage as Anima pummels them with a flurry of punches. Once she’s done, the camera slides over to view Seymour giving the traditional Yevon prayer bow as Anima screams out behind him, dealing HP damage.

If he wins with his EX-Burst, he gets a special pose before transitioning to the victory screen of him standing in the final frame of the prayer as pyreflies explode out of the opponent.

I know this it out of nowhere, but I was playing 16's ng+ now that all the dlc is out, and lamenting it'll never show up in OO. I then began to think of hypothetical character picks if they ever, hopefully, revive this series. You know, despite the financial problems caused by making terrible investment decisions.

I thought Clive, as the main character, would have been the Cosmos/Materia representative, obviously, but struggled to figure out the Chaos/Spiritus rep. I went though all the antagonists and how they impact the plot:
(Spoilers for ff16)

!Benedikta is barely in the plot and is the starter antagonist, Hugo is impactful to a portion of the plot and has an awesome boss fight, but ceases being relevant after killing him, Dion isn't even really an antagonist and is just an opponent in the coolest fight in the game, and Barnabas isn't even really that important in the plot. That left Ultima, but that felt really iffy since he'd basically just be a clone of Clive, since Clive's supposed to be his vessel- And that's when it struck me. Clive is not only supposed to be the main villain's vessel, but is a huge force of chaos across the realm, causing (if indirectly) a huge portion of the plot to happen. Clive could be the chaos rep, much like Jecht is. Even if he's not evil, and only out of control at the start of the game, he fits. You don't have to be evil to be the chaos rep, and there's not really that much of a rule to it, right?!<

!Meaning Joshua would be a better fit for the Cosmos rep.!<

so ive recently emulated 012 duodecim with enhanced textures but i have a fog like film that gives everyone a blurry double vision not sure if this is because of how they made the water texture wondering if anyone has a possible fix?

So you can unlock characters as playable in the pp catalog, but for what purpose? They’re already playable in Arcade mode. Very confused.

Thanks! (Sorry didn’t know which flair to use, pink or yellow)

For those of us who played FFXVI, let's discuss Clive's role in the Dissidia universe! In the game, Clive can utilize the powers of the Eikons in addition to his sword attacks.

In NT, would he be Vanguard, Assassin, Marksman, or Specialist? What would his EX Skill be?

In 012, what would the name of his role be? What would be his EX Mode and/or EX Burst? What weapons and armor would he equip?

Long time lover of the game (My favorite game is the original release on the PSP back in 2008)

I had amazing times with the Demo and full game and it's the game that gateway'd me into the franchise

That being said...

I have one main question about the story of Final Fantasy Dissidia (in regards to all of the games as a whole)

Is this story; the REAL FINAL FANTASY? What is the Final Fantasy at this point?

I don't think it's just some marketing gimmick, clearly all of the stories in all of the series' intertwine and have relevant thematic elements.

Also, Are Cosmos and Chaos suppose to be an allegory for Heaven and Hell because they appear to be real people by virtue of the context that the 1st game set

TL;DR WHAT IS THE FINAL FANTASY?

Does anyone know if there are scans to this book available? There are character renders using the in-game models that were never released and only seem to be available in this book.

hi guys does anyone here knows how to convert gmo file to edat for dissidia mod skin?

I was reading randomly through some forum posts and read about "Inward Chaos" from the original being absent in 012 (which I'm playing through now). The FF wiki article is mainly about gameplay it seems. Is it actually absent, and am I missing anything substantial if it is? Otherwise, I'll probably just watch a quick playthrough online. Thank you!

Hello, I’ve been playing through Duodecim on Vita, I’ve made it to the 013 story and am still early on (Chapter 1). I’ve completed the 012 story and all of those chapters.

As i’ve been playing, i’ve noticed many of the gateways tend to contain a single enemy that will be ~10-15 levels higher than your characters. I have been able to make it through these fights, but sometimes I have to try ~30 times or so, because my bravery attacks are hitting single digits, and a single hit from the enemy will completely wreck me. I’ve also been making sure to buy the best gear i can consistently (although i am struggling to keep up with gil), and I’m using Hyper Ring + 3 booster accessories on all my characters.

I totally get that these are harder optional enemies, but the insane spike in difficulty has me wondering if I’m missing something, with how difficult these optional enemies in the gateway can be. Is there some kind of grinding i should be doing outside of just playing through everything in the story?

Totally fair if the answer here is to just get good lol

Does anyone still play Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy 012?

I started playing way back with 010 at release and then 012 at release, transferring my save data, then later on moving my data to the Vita.

When I was a kid we didn't have wifi that my psp connected to so I never got to play online until we made a trip to the library once a month.

When I got the vita as an adult I didn't play online often as I was busy leveling all my characters to 100 after I had unlocked everything.

Does anyone still play? I'd love to play with someone again. Fighting NPCs set to the hardest difficulty at level 105 gets old after a few years lmao.

I recently ran into some trouble with the game :(( anyone know whats up? They just t-pose now and i cant use any abilities

As the title says.
I've been replaying 012 on emulator, and I recalled one day recently that back in the days when the game was still sort of new, I could swear there was an actual little update to the game at some point, downloadable if you had your PSP connected to the online service and actually told it to look for an update.

On rare occasion, I know some PSP titles actually got small updates, but you couldn't view the data. It was just there on your little proprietary Sony flash stick, and it loaded when you played the game. That's it.

So now I'm just curious if anyone knows what that update contained. It wasn't a patch per se, since it couldn't have had more than a few MB of data, and thus couldn't have changed much. Probably balance or bug fix data. But I still wonder.

Do these exist anywhere? I think it's pretty rad that they have these portrait pics for characters like Exdeath and Golbez that show their faces.

Another example is Garland's "Discord Incarnate" portrait: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/2/22/Dissicon_ff1_Gar3.png/revision/latest?cb=20110126021507
