Rules

Rules is a gameplay term in Dissidia Final Fantasy. It refers to two rulesets the player may choose when fighting Quick Battle. Rules are not in effect in any storylines or in Arcade Mode, and are pre-determined when fighting opponents in the Duel Colosseum. The player may choose to fight with both rules in effect ("Double Judgment"), or neither. The two rules are as follows:


 * Cosmos Judgment: When a character enters critical health, one of two effects may randomly occur: their Summon, assuming it has been used, will be restored, or their EX Gauge will be filled. Both effects will only happen once to each character, but one character may benefit from both effects.


 * Chaos Judgmment: When a character does not attack for an extended period of time, they will be paralyzed for several seconds. This can occur to a character multiple times. After the battle has lasted a period of time, the notice "Invitation to Destruction" appears. The longer the battle continues after this appears, the greater the Brave damage inflicted by both characters increases. The odds of critical hits occuring also increase.
