Day 37: Your ideal vision of 000 or Cycle 14

[alkonost_storm]

*pokes title* Sure you wanna ask me that? It won't be pretty...You still wanna know? Well, okay...you were warned!

Cycle 14 (as envisioned by alkonost_storm):

To sum it all up in one sentence: EVERYTHING GOES TO HELL.

How, you may ask? Well, let me count the ways...

Sadly Mythtaken: Unbeknowst to mostly everyone involved in this mess, Cosmos and Chaos are actually triple-aspect deities. Certain parties decided they did not want four extra divine aspects involved in the Cycles so they were sealed away. In Cycle 014, it's not enough that the seals expire; to being separated from the Gods, these aspects acquire their own bodies and move on to meddle with the Cycles, and those involved with the Cycles.

Manikin Evolution: Some of the aspects decide to change the rules a little by altering the original mindless cannon fodder nature of the manikins. First step: basic sentience, along with the capacity to learn and adapt. Second step: Let's add all the worst traits of every fighter in this conflict and see what happens! >8D

Bait and Switch Boss: Chaos and Cosmos (or their aspects) won't be the final enemies in this adventure....*shifty look*
Gotterdamerung: Well...that's what will happen if certain parties get their way....

MINDSCREW, MINDRAPE, MINDFUCK: Expect this from the Chaotic personas of Cosmos and Chaos. Their ideal targets of course, will be the Cosmos Crew and any well-intentioned person on Team Chaos but overall, they're not picky about who they screw over. Please keep in mind that these two are not the actual villains.

Okay that's all I can think up plotwise...ON TO GAMEPLAY!

*pushes in all landmasses from the other FFs into the Dissidia!Map*

-000-esque/final dungeon story mode: this feature will have the gameplay style of games like Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia and the Infamous series; characters will have to climb up various structures, try and get past traps (in the style of PoP, that sort of thing.
-REPORTS

AGAIN, I JUST WANNA SAY

That's about the only component that they've neglected to translate into this game's strange language. It reminds me of a combination of Kefka's Tower and the final sequence of crap that you have to go through on the way to finishing FFVII, and frankly, it's those last bouts of desperate fighting and surprise development that makes a Final Fantasy shine in my opinion. I mean, the game usually has this alluring glow the whole time, but it's how the ends are tied together when everything is on the line that determines the impact.

Or, you know, I'm nuts.

Or that.

Tbh I wouldn't mind controlling a PC and making them do parkour stuff like wallruns, leaps of faith (leap off VERY HIGH places and trust that you'll land in a conveniently placed haystack) and so on. That said, certain pcs would have to figure out other ways to get around. DUDE Y U OFFLINE

…I want to see Gabranth attempt parkour stuff.

Seriously. I would pay hard cash for that in my life.
Emphasis on 'attempt' of course.

I'm fixing plugins. Something derped during startup and I'm running one by one. Clearing the cache didn't work. Almost done though.
