The developers room unlocks after killing the final boss. It takes the appearance of a standard board with odd shaped Battle Pieces. Each one of these pieces leads to a room where one of the developers of this forum topic are resting after the creation of the DDC world. Before fighting any of the Developers, one must get to them by traversing a level to track them down (Not unlike a Kingdom Hearts world). Upon defeating any of the Developers, you get a rare "Joke Item" depending on what character you are using. If you manage to defeat the Final Boss all of the Developers will grant you the Adamant Armor and the "Sword of 1000 truths", both of which give you a massive boost to defense and attack. If you actually contributed to the project, you are more then welcome to add in your own, but the role of Final Boss is reserved for the "Composer".
Realm of Exdeath64[]
Takes the appearance of a college structure at night while rain downpours outside. Strange and bizarre creatures seek to hinder your progress. Contact with one starts a standard Dissida Battle with them.
Food Court- A dark hall filled with strange creatures and the scent of pizza. Watch your step.
Science Wing- Creatures that look like Hojos wet dream haunt these halls
English Wing- Empty, just a straight hallway leading to the...
Private Computer Laboratory- Upon entering, you see a strange student wearing a windbreaker and working on a term paper. He is utterly engrossed in his task and will ignore you. The key to getting him to fight is to get into a fight with a nearby coffee maker (It just sits there and one HP attack smashes the thing.) this leads him to flip his shit and attempt to brutally murder your character. After the fight (if you killed him, if you failed you get sent back to the Board), he will actually speak to you.
Exdeath64- What the FUCK are you doing in here, you look like something out of...Oh shit...
Exdeath64- Well, whatever the hell you are doing here, please be on your way, I just KNOW I will get blamed for whatever rift in space-time dragged you here. I KNEW I should of stopped messing with that forum topic, but NO I just had to keep adding movesets and quotes...Well, you did come all this way, I guess you can have something out of my backpack...
Exdeath64- Monsters? Hell no, its Halloween, those where freshmen doing a charity thing...what do you mean you fought them? Well that's a problem...Ah well, I read this thread a while back, so I should probably tell you that you can get out of here through the back door there. Now get the hell out of here before I get sued. Oh, and before you ask, yeah, I did help create you...Okay, Nomura or one of them did the actual creating, we just hijacked your character to kill time, now get out of here before I call the cops.
Items you can get for completing this level, they all come with a description to inform you of what you will be getting.
- Rolling Backpack (Axe)- A weapon from a long lost culture? A sacred artifact? or just a method of running down slow freshmen, your pick.
- Yardstick (Staff)- A staff made of hard, supple wood, perfect for smacking people with. Has the words "Mt Angel Monastery" burned into the wood.
- Pizza Knife (Sword)- It appears the mysterious Developer known as Exdeath64 stole this weapon from the food court
- Playstation Portable (Accessory)- A silver device owned by a Developer for the purpose of killing time and brain cells, you find yourself frightened at the prospect of opening the disk case, lest it destroy your world view entirely.
- Sunglasses (Helmet)- A pair of shades which completely hide your eyes. They work wonders when dealing with bright lights, but make certain things look weird.
- Blessings of the Scholar (Equip Ability, comes when you have four or more of these items equipped)- Doubles your critical hit rate, 4% Iai Strike, double movement speed. It also reduces your defense to zero and reduces your brave recovery speed by 25%, and therefore very vulnerable to a Brave Break. Made for those who like Fragile, but very fast characters.
Empty Dream[]
The player is welcomed to a gigantic chessboard floating in the sky. On the case on which the Black King usually stays, Xelias stands, turning his back to the player. He welcomes the player without even bothering to look at him
Xelias : Welcome. Why... are you there ? What is it that you seek ? Power ? Dreams ? Friendship, perhaps ? You won't find any of them here. These things, I've cast away a long time ago.
(Player stares blankly)
Xelias : Humans... You seek power blindly, because you think it will help you during the trials of your existence. You cling to dreams, because you need a reason to live. You try and make friends, because you think they will save you from emptiness. You do not realize how wrong you are.
(Player summons his/her weapon)
Xelias : I have no intention to fight you now. You need to understand the meaning of your existence to deserve to fight me.
(Player must advance in the chessboard-like stage. He fights various memories of his friends during the trial. At the end, he stands on a platform above the chessboard, and Xelias appears, still not looking at the player.)
Xelias : So, did you understand yet ? You seek power, and power will destroy you. You seek dreams, and dream will forsake you. You seek friends, and friends will betray you. This is the true nature of existence. The only solution never to suffer from those pains - it is to free yourself from your existence, to embrace nothingness... Just like I did a long time ago.
(Xelias faces the player, finally. He summons his weapon, the White Oblivion Swallow Blade, and faces the player)
Xelias : I, Xelias, the Condemner, will purify you from the sin of humanity. Atone... or find death !
(Fight)
(Defeat)
Xelias : This defeat... Do you know what it means ? You are weak, because you are human. Because of this fragile thing you call a "heart". Because of this heart, you now kneel before me. Because of that heart, one day, you will seek only to die... and you will remember my words... (Xelias disappears in a flash of light)
(Victory)
Xelias : (Smiles sadly, before dismissing his weapon) Great. I hope you will always fight like that, in your life. With courage and hope, perhaps you will be able to overcome the weakness of your heart.
(Player hesitates, not knowing what to do)
Xelias : Now, what ? The Composer awaits you. Simply remember - if you feel one day, like your only desire is to end your miserable existence - free yourself from the burden of your heart. (Disappears, as the player walks away)
Weapons :
Heavensbane (Katana) : Low strength but offers a small Iai Strike bonus (+2%)
Aether Shield (Obvious) : Low Defense but increases Bravery when countering opponent's attack (+15%)
Netherskies (Armor) : Reduces Max HP to 1, grants a Phoenix Down-like effect once in a battle
The Scarred Heart[]
(The character finds him/herself in a dark, twisted forest that looks like none found on any world. Strange lights appear all over the place, and otherworldly noises are all around. A loud, insane laugh is heard and before them appears a person who seems to be an ordinary teenager. However, he slowly turns his head towards the player character and says in a voice that will make Kefka seem sane...)
VCE: Who's this?
(He gets a weird twitch in eye and takes heaving breaths.)
VCE: Another one?
(He sends a blast of energy out of his palm, sending the character far back into a tree. Vines sprout out of the ground and start pulling him/her under. VCE laughs again.)
VCE: So, you think you can just walk up to me and make fun of me, mock me, try to bring my morale down? Well, you're wrong!
(VCE insanely laughs again)
VCE: You people are all the same. You think that YOUR way is the ONLY way, and you never hesitate to come in and gun down all who are different! Well, I've had enough of it! With this power I've gained through hatred alone, I shall destroy every single one of these damn worlds, and recreate them so that no one will ever be made fun of again! No one will have to feel the pain I felt.
(The vines pull the character under the ground. VCE waves goodbye, and says...)
VCE: You think you can stop me? I'd like to see you try. Meet me in the very center of this forest. I'll be looking forward to it...it'll be an event to DIE for!
(In the center of the forest...)
VCE: Well, I'm impressed. You managed to make it through this maze. Do you not know what it is? It is the very reflection of my mind, the outward expression of my suffering!
(VCE summons multiple weapons from nowhere and they start floating behind him. The character tries to speak, but...)
VCE: Don't even THINK of speaking, for I already know what you're going to say. You're going to say that it's okay, and that I just have to let go of the past. HA! You jest at scars that have never felt a wound! (Romeo and Juliet reference much?)
(Lightning flashes in the sky and a meteor shower begins.)
VCE: Prepare yourself, and fight well! No matter the outcome, this is likely the last time you shall see me!
(Fight)
Defeat
VCE: Heh, I didn't think you would hold up. How do you think you'll be able to face the Composer, weakling? Get out of my sight!
Victory
VCE: ...What the hell just happened? All this power, and I still get defeated? What...was I lacking...?
(VCE convulses and steps towards the player's character.)
VCE: I'm not gonna go that easily! You...shall come with me!
(VCE dramatically reaches for the player's character, but is unable to reach them as he fades. The sky clears as VCE fades, and the forest vanishes. The player character walks off towards the rising sun, ready for the next battle.)
Items won:
- Knife of Pain (Knife): A knife with an obsidian blade, sharpened to an almost atomic level. Just looking at it makes you feel like you're being sliced! (When attacking, only half of the opponent's defense gets factored in. However, it also halves your own defense.)
- Blade of Suffering (Sword): Just holding this blade makes you feel as if you've been tormented relentlessly for fifteen years.
- Lance of Vengeance (Spear): Wielding this lance suddenly gives you a thirst for blood and revenge. (Deals a guaranteed critical hit when you strike your opponent within 20 seconds after they strike you. Also has a major Counterattack effect.)
- Gauntlets of Agony (Gauntlets): Why does it feel like my hands are being seared by the rage of some tortured person? (Makes your attacks faster, but also weakens them a bit.)
Realm of Pikmin Master[]
No one knows it, but you have just entered the quite possibly biggest tribute to Nintendo you've ever seen. Congratulations, you are inside Pikmin Master's mind (call it a Psychonauts reference if you want).
M Room- The Board is in the shape of a Mushroom. The background there is of Super Mario Bros.' World 1-1. The Battle Pieces there look like Mario and only have two attacks: Jump (Brave) and Jump (HP), which does the obvious. The Battle Piece will hurt you while jumping.
L Room- The Board is in the shape of a Triforce. The background there is of the Kokiri Forest in Ocarina of Time. The Battle Pieces look like adult Link and have three attacks: Bow (Brave), Bomb Arrow (Brave to HP), and Master Sword (HP). All attacks can be easily avoided.
K Room- The Board is in the shape of a Warp Star. The background there is of...what's the name of the first level in Kirby's Adventure? That place. There are only two Battle Pieces there, look like Kirby, and only have one move: Swallow (Brave). That move, if you are close enough, will swallow you and copy your character's moveset and stats. It can't go to EX Mode.
P Room- The Board is in the shape of a Poke Ball. The background there is of Pallet Town from RB. The Battle Pieces look like Pikachu (and one looks like Ditto, who has Transform which is a long-ranged Swallow). The moves Pikachu can do are Thundershock (Brave) and Thunderbolt (HP). Thunderbolt is easy to avoid, but Thundershock isn't.
Crystal Space- The final room. There are no Battle Pieces. There is a big block of ice, so you must defeat it in 3 moves or it'll heal itself completely. If completed, the ice will break, revealing a man who looks like in his low-20s asleep. He'll wake up.
Pikmin Master: Wha...? Who woke me up? Oh. *stands* I'd figure you would show up. You're after my exclusive equipment of awesomeness. Fine. I don't like battling if I just woke up. But since you're here, I'll show you my powers. En garde!
If you fail:
Pikmin Master: And that's the power of defense. Now go away before I actually try to kill you. *Player starts over from the beginning of the realm.*
If you win:
Pikmin Master: Meh. Figured you win. It's not like I tried so much. Oh, and what I said from earlier was paraphrased from my girlfriend. I don't know why she says something like that, but I guess it's alright. Anyway, your prize is right there behind me. I'm still tired, so get out of here before I actually try to kill you. *Refreezes self and goes to sleep.*
The items here are all Pokemon references and are pretty awesome.
Leaf Blade (Sword)- A green sword that looks like it came directly from nature itself. Has a high chance for a critical hit.
Acid Armor (Light Armor)- For something that feels like a liquid, it's actually works well.
Trick Room (Bangle)- There's something about this bangle that makes the dimentions twist...WHY IS EXDEATH MOVING SO FAST?!?!?! (Note: Exdeath cannot wield this even if he had the right ability.)
Realm of The Composer[]
The PC must beat all of the developers before going here.
The player character enters an empty white room. All of the Developers appear with some unique teleporting animation (Describe it below). Each Developer will say something about the Composer. They know who The Composer is, but the player character doesn't. The Developers disappear and the player character teleports to the Crystal Space, where Developer Pikmin Master is.
Pikmin Master: *yawn* Morning. Huh? The Composer? Uhh, yeah...that's me. The other guys voted without me knowing, so might as well. Anyway, this is the part when I talk too much, so I'll keep it short. REMATCH!!!
Pikmin Master snaps his fingers and the PC fell down in a trap hole.
That One Room- There is only one Board in this realm. The Board is HUGE and is in the shape of a scimitar. The PC starts at the hilt and The Composer is in the tip of the blade. Every single Battle Piece in the Developer's Room is in this board. Once the PC is done,...
Pikmin Master: Wow, how much time you wasted doing this thing? You probably saved before coming here. Can't stop you there. Anyway, I'm wide awake and ready for that rematch. I don't care how many times you reboot, I'm still beating you.
Lose
Pikmin Master: NEXT!
Win
Pikmin Master: Well, that was epic. *heals self* I'm hungry. How about we discuss the cool armor you'll be getting over breakfast?
Developer Teleportation Animation[]
- Pikmin Master: PM came in via his usual teleportation method: summoning a block of ice with him in it. The ice shatters.
- VCE: A swirling vortex of dark lightning appears, and VCE descends from the sky.
- Xelias: Just appears from nothingness, in a blur.
Developers' Composer Conversation[]
- Pikmin Master: *too drowsy to say anything*
- VCE: This is what it all comes down to. You versus the one being whom I consider my equal: the Composer! I think you've fought him before. *smiles evilly*
- Xelias: The Composer, heh ? He's said to be like a God to us - but every God must fall one day...
Ultimate Illusion[]
The end of the Developers Room level, all the defeated Developers meet you here. The Ultimate Illusion looks like a cafeteria.
If you have managed to beat all of them, you will obtain the Adamant Armor which can be equipped by any character without abilities, along with the Sword of 1000 Truths, which can be equipped by the same. If you did not, you get informed that "your princess is in another castle" and sent on your way.
Quotes has Characters leave the developers room[]
Essentially a bunch of "Farewell quotes".
- Exdeath64: (Mog enters with a remote which instantly censors when used, with Artemicion in a straight jacket) *Kupo*!!! PISS OFF YOU BLOODY UNCLE *Kupo*-ING BASTARDS!!! I SWEAR I WILL *Kupo* YOU *Kupoing* WANKERS!!! *Takes a sip of coffee* Ah, that's quite a bit better...What? You got your legendary weapons, now get the hell out of here before we all get sued into the next Epoch by Square Enix. (Developers note: I am not quite that bad without my coffee, but it is rather close)
- Xelias0: There are still things... I need to learn. Thanks for reminding me that.
- VCE (VoidCommanderExdeath): I see the truth now...thank you... *fades*
- Pikmin Master (if The Composer is not defeated): ...Zzz...
- Pikmin Master (if The Composer is defeated): *too stuffed to say anything, so he waves his right hand*
Ending Credits[]
A montage of all characters and what they are doing after the conflict ends. Done "Animal House" style.
- Exdeath64- Upon campus security finding around three dozen knocked out freshmen and enough collateral damage to rival Hiroshima, they needed a scapegoat. Exdeath64 was dragged kicking while screaming horrible profanities to a local prison where he later was acquitted and awarded 10,000 dollars in damages (relax, someone smuggled him in some duct tape...). He later kicked the head of Campus security in the genitals while he was walking late at night. He got six months in a local minimum security prison (he maintains it was worth it) Exdeath64 19:51, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
- VCE- He comes to his senses and realizes that what he was doing was exactly the same as what everyone else did to him in the past. He casts away all of his weapons and power. However, the act of doing so relinquishes almost all of his life energy. He is last shown on a bed in a hospital, looking out the window at the blue sky. He whispers "Thank you...for helping me find the light..." After that, he closes his eyes. As to whether he died or lived is unknown. VoidCommanderExdeath 01:26, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Xelias- Still in the middle of his chess-like arena, he looks at the dark sky and wonders : "A heart... I've forgotten how it felt to have one. Does it feel warm... inside ? I can't remember. But I can't go back. I mustn't be weak. I don't have this right... anymore." As he says that, a ray of light pierces the skies and illuminates him briefly. Xelias smiles one last time, sadly : "...perhaps I do... There are so many things I still don't know about humanity." Xelias then walks away in silence.
- Pikmin Master- His specially-made interdimentional cell phone rings while relaxing in Crystal Space. It was his bro, who needs PM for something. He visits the other Users and says goodbye.
- For Exdeath64, he gave him a sweet Pecha Berry while Exdeath was in prison.
- For VCE, he sees him in a hospital and checks his health. He knows if VCE is alive or dead, but either way, he puts a Fire Flower in a vase on a nearby table (Everyone thought it was just some oridinary flower).
- For Xelias, he came to his arena before his disappearence. He just pats Xelias on the shoulder with a smile.
In the end, Pikmin Master PSI Teleports out of the Dissidia world, hoping to return someday.
