Shade Impulse
From Final Fantasy Wiki
- "Beyond harmony and discord, ten warriors gather. The final fantasy is written here."
- —Description
Shade Impulse is a story mode playable in Dissidia Final Fantasy. It is more difficult than the original Story mode.
[edit] Overview
Shade Impulse has four chapters in which all the characters must get to and defeat their storyline bosses again before facing off against Chaos. The levels of Shade Impulse mix all the differences of the Destiny Odyssey levels, for example the hidden enemies and items marked with "?". In some stages of Shade Impulse there will be a Stigma of Chaos and a Chaos Piece. In these cases defeating the Chaos Pieces won't end the stage, and is often optional to even engage, but if challenged with the corresponding hero it will lead to cutscenes and a small plot event, as well as two destiny points. Destroying the Stigma of Chaos moves the main story on and leads to the next stage of the corresponding chapter.
Shade Impulse also introduces new alternate "Omega" stages. These alternate versions have special periodic effects that affect each player's Bravery points, whether omnipresently or from coming in contact with certain area elements. After defeating an enemy in each said level, the level will become available to buy from the PP shop.
The gap between the difficulty levels of Shade Impulse and the Destiny Odyssey chapters is very great, so the transition between the two modes should be prepared for. It may be wise to additionally level up any characters before attempting Shade Impulse, or else they may easily be run over.
[edit] Story
Shade Impulse opens with the heroes gathering together, each holding his or her own respective crystals, ready to end the war between Chaos and Cosmos. But upon joining together, Chaos appears. He incinerates Cosmos, and disappears triumphant. The heroes, with Cosmos gone, begin to fade away. Exdeath and Kefka appear to despair the heroes in their final moments.
But the crystals kept the warriors of light alive, and they set out with a new resolve: to defeat Chaos.
