Sorry for not knowing but what does ZOE stand for?

Yeah, you can tell really well what everyone on the forum thinks on a subject from the first fifty minutes after it was posted.

No, I'm wondering if I'm the only person who finds Dissidia's combat system to be eerily similar to and quite possibly a total rip-off of ZOE's.

Re: wait, is Dissidia even original?

So wait, you're complaining over the fact that Dissidia has a similar control scheme to another game you played? Which in turn, makes the game easier as far as not having to figure out the controls? ZOE rocked btw and I for one am perfectly happy with the controls for Dissidia matching ZOE (cuz I been playing lots of ZOE again lol).

Re: wait, is Dissidia even original?

I was all ready to buy the game, untill I played the demo, I honestly dont know if I want it anymore.... I love the idea of the game.... but its to "simple" for me

So I was totally getting ready to play ZOE2 (Damn you, defective Gamestop disks. I should've known better, but damn you to hell.), and I'm playing the original ZOE first so I have an idea of what the plot was.

So I'm going around, and it feels pretty familiar. My R(2) button is boosting me around, R(1) is blocking... minor attacks on Circle, primary attacks on square. R+square for special attacks. Lock-on managed with L.

And I'm thinking "man, why does it feel like I've played this recently? I haven't played ZOE in so long."


And then I realize, it has almost identical combat (moar flying, less matrix-y) to Dissidia. Dissidia even has almost the exact same controls.

ZOE wasn't exactly a common sort of game, where it's unsurprising when there's overlap. And Dissidia certainly isn't the direction most people would think to take a fighting game in. Unless maybe they were fans of ZOE's versus mode.

What the hell, SE.
