For ad hoc party to work, after you install it to your PS3:
First thing's first, you have to have your PS3 hard-wired into your internet connection (aka your router.) The PSP uses the wireless connection the PS3 has to connect to the PS3.
Start up Ad Hoc Party and click "Search for Game". After that it'll start searching for wireless signals from your PSP.
Start up whatever game you wanna play online (dissidia) and select whatever option it is to begin looking for people "nearby" to play with (usually the green light will start flashing on the PSP when it's sending out wireless signals.)
Ad Hoc party will then pick up those signals, and detect which game you're trying to play. Once that's done, you can scan the lobby servers to see if anyone else is playing the same game as you.
The rest is self explanatory, but a few things:
Typically when you create a "Room" on a server, it has 4 player capacity. However if you bring 4 people in, you'll find yourself disconnecting from matches often... so typically most people wait for 1 other person then lock the room to prevent that.
Not the most advanced software in the world but it gets the job done.
Edit: One more thing... this software works for any game that uses ad hoc mode to do the multiplayer thing. Monster Hunter, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, FF tactics War of the Lions, etc. It's the same procedure for any of them.
Simply said, Warrior of Light's helmetless alt costume will become DLC for free on the 29th. Lightning's Aya alt, who is from Parasite's Eve, is available in The 3rd Birthday. Of course, unless you really want that game, I wouldn't spend $30~40 bucks just to have Lightning in torn jeans and a black t-shirt.
question for anyone who overnighted from gamestop and knows. does the cloud KH outfit only come with the game if you pick it up from the store? x.x just got mine from UPS, only had the game and a return label. Read everything on the label and no code, i know my friend that picked it up at gamestop got the code with his receipt so... yea >.>

hard-wire? *** that ***, I'm not running a damn 200ft wire around my house for that
make the data install faster!!! D: oh random thought. do you gotta play these stories in a certain order? saw a pic that made me think that in instructions and i figured "i got nothing better to do than ask" >.>
You do have to play the first ones in order yes. When the first game is accessable in this one, I think you can choose which. Also, I found out that if you transfer over the first Dissidia's game data, you just get bonus accs. You don't have to transfer levels.
Flion, there's two parts to the story. Duodecim; where you only play as the new guys. And then there's the original Dissidia; 013 it's called in the game. It's the first game, but with tweaks here and there in the story.
Although, if you collect the reports, you can do some missions as other people. I'm doing a Terra one atm
New Mechanics
The mechanics of the battle system include "EX Mode" and "Assist." EX Mode functions exactly the same as the first game by collecting EX Cores around the battle map to fill up the gauge and transform the character into a more powerful state, which allows players to perform a powerful EX Burst attack should an HP attack land during EX Mode. The Assist system is a new element to the game which allows the player to summon an additional ally into battle to either assist in attacking the enemy or defend from an oncoming attack. It is performed using the Assist Gauge, which is built up by using Bravery Attacks.
Both modes are supposed to balance each other, because when an EX Burst is executed, the opponent's Assist Gauge is reduced to zero.
The three main countering systems are Assist Breaks, EX Breaks and EX Revenge. An EX Break is performed by stopping an opponent's EX Mode through the use of an Assist attack which forces the opponent out of EX Mode, additionally passing the opponent's Bravery points to the player. An Assist Break is performed by attacking the opponent's Assist character, causing him/her to be unable to call out the Assist character for a brief period; this also passes the opponent's Bravery points to the character. Lastly, EX Revenge occurs when trying to activate EX Mode while being attacked. While in the first game it would simply halt the opponent's attack, it now slows down time allowing the player to pummel the opponent instead, though it sacrifices the player's ability to use an EX Burst as it uses up the entire EX Gauge.
The biggest change is within the single-player story mode of the game, taking place on a traditional-styled Final Fantasy world map, with players being able to experience a story while exploring a world with scenarios and events taking place as the story progresses. Players will traverse the 3D world map with three-character parties, with players being able to interact in conversations with the characters. When roaming the map, players will encounter enemies known as "Manikins"; when attacked by an enemy, players will be transported to a battle map where battles will take place. There will be shops on the map which are specially marked. The story mode is also party based, similar to the story progression of Final Fantasy VI. In certain scenarios, parties will be predetermined, but in most cases players are free to select their own party. Alongside the game's new story mode, the game will also include the first game's story which will be remade with the 3D world map as well as additional elements added for the new storyline. Tetsuya Nomura, producer and character designer for the game, has said that both storylines played together would result in approximately 60 hours of gameplay
