Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Costumes Part 6

The Ally Costume Token Exchange shop just became available in the Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia (DFFOO) mobile game.

This shop contains all the costumes that have been released in the English or Global version of DFFOO.

Normally, you need to pay real money in order to get and be able to equip these costumes. But the game is planning to give players 2 Ally Costume Tokens for free. You can use this Token to exchange for a costume from the shop.

Sadly, the reason why we’re getting these Tokens for free is because DFFOO just announced that it will discontinue or end its service on February 29, 2024.

I talk more about that in another post, but that announcement came as a shock. Really wish that news wasn’t true. Wish the game wasn’t ending at all.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Costumes List

Anyway, I talk more about this in another post but I already picked and got my 1st costume. Ended up choosing the 1st costume of Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII (#ad). Now I need to figure out which costume to pick with my 2nd Ally Costume Token.

Unfortunately, at the moment, I still have no idea which costume to pick. There are a lot of choices, and there are lots of costumes that I’d love to be able to have. I talk more about this in another post, but it’s really too bad that we can’t get them all even with the game ending soon.

So now gonna have to go through all the available costumes then try to decide which one to pick. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make a decision soon. Want to be able to make use of these costumes as much as possible before the game ends.

Anyway, below is a list of all the costumes that are available in the Global or English version of DFFOO.

Zack Fair from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII

Zack Fair from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII has 2 costumes.

Zack's 1st costume looks basically the same as his default outfit so meh. This one's out.

I like Zack's 2nd costume though so this one's in for now.

Here are some more screenshots of Zack's 2nd costume:

Auron from Final Fantasy X

Auron from Final Fantasy X has 1 costume.

Auron's costume looks basically the same as his default outfit but he does look much younger in this one. This looks okay enough, but I think there are better costumes to choose from so this one's out.

Prishe from Final Fantasy XI

Prishe from Final Fantasy XI has 1 costume.

I like Prishe's costume better than her default outfit but I don't really use her all that much and she doesn't even have her own Force or FR weapon so this one's out.

Lilisette from Final Fantasy XI

Lilisette from Final Fantasy XI has 1 costume.

This looks pretty similar to Lilisette's default outfit so meh. This one's out.

Arciela V. Adoulin from Final Fantasy XI

Arciela V. Adoulin from Final Fantasy XI has 1 costume.

This looks basically the same as Arciela's default outfit so meh. Her hair is also tied up in some sort of bun in this one. But I prefer Arciela with her long hair down so this costume's out.

Kam'lanaut from Final Fantasy XI

Kam'lanaut from Final Fantasy XI has 1 costume.

Don't really like Kam'lanaut in this game and don't like this costume either so this one's out.

Vaan from Final Fantasy XII

Vaan from Final Fantasy XII has 2 costumes.

Vaan's costumes look nice enough but I prefer his default outfit so both of these are out.

Penelo from Final Fantasy XII

Penelo from Final Fantasy XII has 2 costumes.

I like Penelo's costumes better than her default outfit but sadly, she doesn't have her Force Board and Force Echoes feature so won't be able to use her much which is why both of these are out.

Balthier (Ffamran mied Bunansa) from Final Fantasy XII

Balthier (Ffamran mied Bunansa) from Final Fantasy XII has 1 costume.

This looks kinda the same as Balthier's default outfit so not really interested in this one.

Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca from Final Fantasy XII

Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca from Final Fantasy XII has 1 costume.

Ashe's costume looks nice but I like her default outfit too. Sadly, Ashe doesn't have access to the Force Board and Force Echoes feature either so this costume's out.

Fran from Final Fantasy XII

Fran from Final Fantasy XII has 1 costume.

Not really interested in Fran's costume so this one's out.

And that’s it for now. There are a lot more costumes to go through but have to continue in another post because already nearing the max limit of 30 pics per post in this one.

Conclusion

So what about you? What do you think about the news that DFFOO is ending its service on February 29, 2024? What do you think about the costumes in this game? Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions by leaving a comment below or by reblogging or replying to this post.

Opera Omnia Burst Themes 2/?

With Opera Omnia shutting down, I decided to make a few posts about one of my favorite parts of the game: The Burst Weapons. Not because they were a powerful, much sought after weapon tier that gave big numbers with massive benefits, but because I have a love for Final Fantasy music, and what BTs I wanted was strongly dependent on what song would play when used.

These posts are meant to be more for the sake of archiving what there had been more than anything else, but at the very least I am going to list a large number of great FF songs.

The first listings will be the songs that we had gotten during the game's lifetime.

The Prime of His Youth: Book III: Prometheus' Gift: Ch12: What Do You Want?

They walked towards the gangway. "Siren?" Japheth asked. "Can you talk to the Mistress of Flame, and have her call a Parliament?"

"Master." she affirmed. "Roxie, can you get a hovercart with our Energon. Ciel, get your trailer."

"Master." Roxana affirmed.

"Master." Arciela stated.

"And what about me?" Arcee asked.

"Headpats." Japheth said, as he put his hand on her head and gently pet her. She was furious, frozen from embarassment, and strangely enjoying it.

"And me?" June asked.

"Also headpats." Japheth stated, and his hand over to his mother's head.

She stood neutrally, "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

"It's every man's right to do this when he grows taller than his mother." Japheth chided.

June waited a few moments before lifting her hands to push his hand away. "Alright, that's enough." an irate June stated.

"And me?" Vera asked.

Japheth looked at his mother, and then back at Vera. And then at his mother. And then back to Vera.

"You don't want her to feel left out." Arcee sardonically added.

June looked at Vera and then back at Japheth, "I'm shorter than her."

"By like an inch." Arcee stated. Vera transformed and looked up at her. June smiled and knelt down to pet her.

"We kind of need rules for this." Arcee stated.

"Or not, and just keep winging it." Japheth stated. He then reached over to pet her again.

"Stop it." Arcee firmly said to him, and pulled his hand away. "At least in public."

June stood up, and looked at Japheth. "And what do we do now?" she asked.

"Not fit into Sirenia's house." Japheth replied. "The problem is that Arcelia is the one with the trailer."

"I could go?" June asked, "Sirenia showed me the building authority."

"And what about Vera?" Japheth asked, "And someone to show her around?" He then looked distant as he connected his com. link, "Siren."

"Master?" she eagerly asked.

"Have her send a priestess to show Vera around." Japheth finished.

Vera looked nervous. June kneeled down to look her in the eyes, "Don't worry. I'll tell you as soon as I know where we're going to stay." Vera still looked lost, "Trust me." she said with a reassuring smile, and Vera started to relax. June stood back up, only to find her son's hand touching her head, "Jack?" she firmly stated, and he withdrew his hand.

"Be nice to your mother." Arcee said, and Japheth moved his hand over and pet her once. "Happy?" she asked, and got a brilliant smile in reply.

* * *

Japheth stood with Arcee, June, and Vera, as Arcelia gently drove up, Roxana walking just behind her. Japheth turned to his mother.

"Wish me luck." she said with a smile.

"If anyone doesn't need any more luck, it's you." Arcee stated.

"Care to join me?" June asked.

Arcee looked at Japheth, and he just smiled in reply. Arcee transformed, and June transformed right after her. They then drove off.

Japheth transformed, and opened his doors. Vera jumped in. Roxana transformed behind him. "Where to?" she asked.

"Parliament?" Japheth asked, "We can't fit into Sirenia's house. And you're not keyed into her house."

* * *

Japheth oepend his doors, and Vera jumped out. He transformed, with Roxana quickly following him. He moved to unhook Arcelia's trailer, and push it off to the side. He extended the leg and put it down. He then turned to the Parliament building. He looked in the opposite direction, seeing the statues of the fallen. He then proceeded to walk in that direction. Arcelia transformed, and all of the femmes walked behind him.

* * *

They stood amongst the statues as a motorcycle drove up to them. Covered in flame, though far less audaciously than the Mistress of Flame herself. She transformed, and looked up at him. Both with recognition and confusion. "A secret." Japheth stated, and she looked at him curiously. "That's what the Parliament is about." he said with a smile. "More importantly, this is Vera." he said. "Could you transform?" he asked. She did, and Sundance was astounded and horrified. "We'll let her explain it, if she wants to." Japheth stated, "But she needs a place she can call home."

"Well, welcome to Caminus." Sundance stated. "All sisters are welcome here."

"Even me?!" Vera angrily shouted, as she reverted to her robot form.

"Even you." Sundance warmly replied. "If you want to scream into the night, we would ask you do so outside of the city." she said with a smile. "And we will give you time to become part of the city, before you need to work."

"What - work?!" Vera screamed.

"Whatever works for you" Sundance smiled, "As a beast, you could keep track of local animals."

"Sirenia said she used to do that." Vera barked.

"That should be something you can do as you grow accustomed to us, to Caminus." Sundance said warmly.

"Why are you so bubbly?" Vera nearly spat.

"Patience?" Sundance warmly asked, "Love?" Vera just glared at her. "I can show you where you get your Energon. We can get you a home."

Japheth looked up as Sirenia flew over to them. She transformed into a landing. "Siren?" he asked.

"Master?" she eagerly asked. "June is getting us a new home. Would you be willing to give yours up to Vera?"

"Oh?" Sirenia asked, but said nothing else.

"Siren?" Japheth asked.

"She forgot it existed." Roxana stated.

Sirenia shot her a harsh glare. She then looked at Japheth, and her harshness evaporated. "Is that true?" Japheth asked, and Sirenia shyly nodded. "Look at me." he said, and she looked him in the eyes, "Can Vera have your house?" he asked, and she firmly nodded. "Arcelia, Sirenia, go with them to rekey the house."

"Master." Arcelia eagerly said. Sirenia was stunned for a moment before eagerly nodding.

* * *

June transformed in front of the housing authority and sashayed inside, Arcee right behind her.

* * *

She walked up to the front desk. "How can I help you?" the femme asked, and looked at her curiously. "Are you new to Caminus?"

June thought about it for a moment, "Been here before, but likely moving." June stated. The femme eyed her up, as there was very few femmes that could apply to. "We'll need some place big, lot of room."

"And what are you planning to do here?"

"Live?" June asked, and got a blank look in reply. "Isn't that what?.."

"Most people have living spaces in their workplace." the femme replied.

"How can I explain this without revealing anything?.." asked herself. She refocused her eyes and looked the femme in hers, "There's going to be a Parliament to explain everything."

"You seem so certain of that?" the femme asked.

"Oh, I can guarantee there's going to be a Parliament." June simply stated.

"Then we can probably wait until afterwards." the femme stated, "Unless you want to tell me what you are actually going to do with it, so I know what to give you?"

June tried to breathe in deeply, and ended up sighing. "I guess we'll have to wait."

The femme's com. unit kicked in. "This is the Mistress of Flame, I am hereby calling an immediate Parliament.

The femme simply eyed June, "That can only mean..." she said, and looked at June closely.

"If you do figure it out?" June asked, "Could you keep it to yourself?"

"It's impossible?" she asked, and June just smiled at her.

"What's your name?" June asked.

"Lunamaria." the pale white femme replied. "And yours?"

"You'll find out soon enough." June said with a smile.

* * *

June transformed, Arcee behind her, and Lunamaria transformed into a Cybertronian hovercraft beside them.

* * *

The gallery was largely filled. The Centurions were all in their places. From the podium, Windblade on the right. Then Ridgehopper, Whitehead, Tethys, Molana, Helia, Michaela, Amalthea, again with Arcelia supporting her. Last but not least, there was Apple Eye.

Lunamaria stepped towards the gallery, while June stepped towards the podium, standing far behind it. This all made so much, and too little sense.

* * *

Japheth walked in, incredibly obvious in a theatre full of femmes. He walked up to the podium. Most of his femmes remained by the door, Arcee being the one to walk over with him.

"My name is Japheth Prime," he said, and paused to gasps and other, incomprehensible noises. "But, you probably know me as Jack Darby." he said. The entire assembly erupted with any number of emotions. Japheth simply smiled a gentle smile, and waited. And waited. And waited. He was not expecting this to be easy. After a few minutes it seemed to drop to a dull roar.

The Mistress of Flame loudly tapped her staff, and the room was silenced. She stepped out, each time her staff tapped against the ground reverberating about the chambre. "Do you have any proof of this?"

Arcee and Arcelia raised their hands.

"He opened his chest." Windblade stated, "He opened the ark." she continued, and paused, "He showed us the Matrix of Leadership. Jack Darby walked into Vector Sigma, and Japheth Prime walked out. His face has changed, because it is filled with the weight of his duty and wisdom, but he is still the same bright young spark we saw last time."

"And so, you want to just control us?" Apple Eye asked.

"No." Japheth simply uttered, and it echoed about the chambre.

"Then why are you here?" Michaela asked, and Japheth looked at Windblade.

"Because I asked him to go back to Vector Sigma to see what happened." Windblade stated. "He has proven himself worthy of being Prime, not just before Vector Sigma, and Cybertron itself, but before us. Arcelia?"

Arcelia stepped around the semi-circular desk and onto the floor, "In Cybertron's Undergrid, we encountered a war. A forgotten war. 5 of Shockwaves horrifying experiments broke free, and were fighting against the others. He would kidnap Cybertronians, surgically alter them to adopting Beast forms, and brainwash them to fight for his cause. To kidnap others. The 5 Dinobots were fighting against hundreds, and at a stalemate. Jack was able to break the stalemate, end the war with only one fatality, and recruited scientists to undo the brainwashing."

"Not by myself, obviously." Japheth stated.

"As a commander." Arcelia continued, "He was able to coordinate his own group, the Dinobots, and the Elite Guard. Oh, and the one fatality was a Forged modified to be like a Predacon, one that breathed ToxEn. She was killed with Japheth's own, Human hand."

Japheth shyly looked about.

"What do you want from us?" Molana harshly asked.

"A house?" Japheth asked, "For my entourage?" He said. At first he looked back, and then at the femmes waiting by the door. He turned back to June, "Oh, and this is my mother, June. Please take care of her."

She walked up, "Hello!" she said, and waved, "Things have changed, a bit. On Terra, I was a nurse, for Humans, obviously, but would love to learn to take care of Cybertronians."

"Or teach our medics to take care of Humans?" the Mistress of Flame asked.

"Or both." Whitehead stated.

The Mistress of Flame loudly tapped her staff to the ground, "Motion to grant his request?" she asked. All of the Centurions raised their hands. "Unanimous."

"What about the rest?" Tethys asked.

"Housewife?" Arcee replied.

"Militia." Windblade stated.

"Honour guard?" Arcelia asked.

"That does have a nice ring to it." the Mistress of Flame stated.

"And the others?" Tethys asked.

"Roxie is still a medic," Japheth stated, "and Arcelia is still an archivist."

"If our duty is now to him." Arcelia stated.

"And Sirenia?" Tethys asked.

"Personal attendant?" Japheth asked.

Arciela my beloved

[nohewi]

Study sketch of Arciela from Final Fantasy XI to try and hype myself up for a big picture I keep putting off (I’ve wanted to do it for years now lol...)

[ffgirlsquad]

Shantotto, Prishe, Aphmau, Arciela, Lilisette, Lion & Iroha - Dissidia Opera Omnia

[themadchemist]

Original Arciela and Anais:

Arciela wasn't originally my FFXIV WoL (I had another one but I forgot all the details and couldn't find my old docs so I just reused the original Arciela), she’s an OC from an original story that I've had for years!

Set in a world where I merged all the Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Warriors Orochi and some other worlds into one XD.

Her appearance is the same for the most part, the OG Arciela looked like Anais in the past and WoL!Arciela in the future.

Just like WoL!Arciela and Anais, she was originally an alchemist and a powerful mage (a sage in FF jobs) who also into botany and cooking, which is why she had a big and beautiful graden and greenhouse where she grew her own fruits, vegetables and herbs for potions. The beloved healer of the town.

One day, she was summoned to the local orphanage to take a look at a new child they had, who had "strange" regenerative abilities, that turned out to be only healing magic, but it was strange that he could use such magic at a very young age nonetheless. She took him and raised him as her own, and mentoring him in magic along the years. He was a genius with magic and he grew up to be an exceptional red mage. His name was Kazenov (another old OC of mine).

One day, during a war, Kazenov was captured by the enemy who, knowing of his genius and mastery of magic, experimented on him and imbued his eyes with a spell that would let him turn those he looked at into stone, sucking their life energy out and using it for other purposes and locked his memories away in the process, to make it easier to control him later on.

Arciela, worried about her son, went out on her own to find him. Chained and blindfolded, she found him in a prison deep in a cave, where she freed him and restored his memories. The story of the mage who slaughtered an entire army in search of someone, of Arciela, reached the people in her town, who thought that she was only a healer. They began to fear her when they knew of her power and when someone who was spying on her, misunderstood her attempt to heal Kazenov's eyes for blinding him and ruining his eyes (the excuse they used to explain the blindfolds he wore in public, the nier automata ones) and told the people about it, they began to hate her.

After an accident while trying to cure Kazenov, they became immortal. They stopped aging and being affected by most diseases. While Kazenov became completely immortal, Arciela could still die but she could be revived and healed whenever water touched her body. The townspeople, witnessed her first accidental resurrection when rain touched her supposedly dead body and that was her cue to the town for good.

They wandered for centuries (which is why I decided that Anais would be Azem, because OG Arciela also helped the people she met on her travels), without finding a cure for both Kazenov's eyes and their immortality. Considered to be abominations, the gods of the realm sought to capture them if killing them proved impossible even to them.

In that battle, Kazenov used the power of his eyes too much and the excessive use turned him into stone as well. Arciela, thinking her son was dead, went berserk and as it heavily rained, she was unstoppable, earning the titles "Slayer of the Old Gods" and "Queen of Sin" (from the song Requiem from Code Vein, that, considering that the lyrics' translation is correct, fit Arciela really really well and it's used as a ballad about her in the story). It was only when it stopped raining that Arciela ran out of power, her body reaching its limit because of the quick and constant regeneration.

Knowing that she won't die no matter what and seeing no reason to live when she failed to protect her son, she surrendered. Unknown to her, Kazenov got out of his stoned state and he was able to control the power of his eyes afterwards, but he was also captured. Separated and chained at the edges of the world, Arciela wept for an eternity, and from her tears, a magical white tree sprouted (upon which Anais' tree is based) while Kazenov waited patiently to gather enough energy and power to save him mother. (he was locked up in a deep cave, that the people on that edge of the world, thought was haunted because no one who went in to explore returned alive. It wasn't really Kazenov who killed them but the traps that were laid for him in case he managed to get out.)

The death of the old Gods sent the world into a state of imbalance and some centuries later the old world crumbled and was destroyed. Arciela, being the only one with enough power and wishing to atone for destroying the world, created the new world from the wreckage and ashes of the old one and became a sort of a Goddess, but, still mourning, she decided to stay in her old prison, chained and hidden from the world, letting other "lesser Gods" run the world.

The others were worshiped and Arciela, after the people found records of her past, was hailed as the "Fell Goddess".

Her role in creating the world was unknown to the people save for an unknown author who wrote the true story, one that was probably killed by followers of the the other Gods. Thus, very few people knew of her true role. One of them is a noble knight who would one day accidentally find the path to the world of the Mother Goddess. (Another OC, whom Ser Ausbasch is based on, who's also based on Zenon Ausbasch from Romancing Saga Re: Universe).

This has gotten pretty long so I'll write the rest later.

[vyrerus]

I may not have my old FFXI buddies to run around with in Vana’diel anymore, but at least I can have an entire party of FFXI waifus!

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia Spheres List Part 3

After finding out that, sadly and unfortunately, the Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia (DFFOO) mobile game will discontinue or end its service on February 29, 2024, started spending my saved resources and upgrading the chars who I ended up skipping before.

The end of service announcement news came as a shock. I talk more about that in another post, but I really wish the news wasn’t true. Wish the game wasn’t ending at all.

But since the game is unfortunately ending soon, there’s no longer any reason to save resources.

Started working on maxing out chars who I may have skipped before or who aren’t fully built yet. This includes equipping Spheres to these chars.

Some of my chars already have real Spheres while some have RF Spheres while others have no Spheres at all.

Some chars have RF Spheres which I now replaced with real Spheres while some chars have no Spheres but I now gave them some.

Jessie Rasberry from Final Fantasy VII

My Jessie Rasberry from Final Fantasy VII (#ad) used to have no Spheres, real or otherwise.
