" Chapter One , titled Beyond Doubt is a retelling of Destiny Odyssey VII in the Story Mode of " Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy " . This chapter features Cloud . Story . Cloud searches for the Crystals with Cecil , Tidus and Firion . Though he is regarded by his allies as a collected and level - headed warrior , Cloud later admits to them he is apprehensive about fighting because he lacks a motivation for doing so , while his friends each have their reasons . He asks his friends why they fight , and while Cecil and Tidus answer readily , Firion tells Cloud he needs time to think of a way to properly explain his reason . Firion eventually shows Cloud his wild rose and tells him about his dream , and he will not stop fighting until it comes true . Cloud asks Firion to fight him to see this strength for himself , and Firion accepts the challenge . Cloud wins but Firion still has the spirit to keep fighting when weak . Still wondering what his reason for fighting is , Cloud tells Cecil Firion ' s dream is childish , but it is enough for him . Cecil , Tidus and Firion encourage Cloud to go find his reason to fight on his own , and Cloud leaves them . While on his own he comes across his archrival Sephiroth , who prepares to fight him . When Cloud tells Sephiroth he refuses to fight pointless battles , Sephiroth shows him Firion ' s rose , implying he has attacked Cloud ' s friends . Sephiroth invites him to follow and face him now that he has a reason and vanishes . At the Planet ' s Core , Sephiroth tells Cloud he searches for a reason to fight but makes no attempts to find his own reason , which is why he accepts the reasons of others when presented . This makes Cloud a puppet who is unable to make his own decisions and follow his own desires , and Sephiroth tells him he will provide Cloud the reasons he needs . Cloud rejects this claim and the two battle . Cloud is victorious and finds his Crystal , but Sephiroth warns taking it means Cloud will be destined to continue to fight without knowing why . Cloud accepts this and takes the Crystal . Sephiroth departs , telling Cloud to remember he will always be able to manipulate him , and he was only able to find his Crystal with Sephiroth ' s guidance . Gateways . North Sanctuary Gateway . A Multi Chain at C4 will allow the player to chain all four enemies here . This also places them on the Blue Emblem to gain a boost to the critical hit rate of physical attacks , making it much easier to fulfill the KP requirements . Enemies throughout this storyline use HP = 100 % boosters that greatly enhance their accessories when at full HP , so landing HP attacks early in the fight to deactivate these boosters can be helpful . Gateway of Good and Evil . A Multichain at B3 will chain all of them with physical critical rate up , but a Cross Chain at D4 will work as well . However , to earn the most KP the player should instead use a Straight Chain at B5 on the KP + 1 emblem , earning 18 KP as opposed to 16 . Beyond the Continent . No Chain Skill can chain all enemies present . However , a Multi Chain at C3 will chain four of them . Pravoka Gateway ( Repeatable ) . The player can only chain four of the five enemies here , but there are multiple ways to do so . A Multi Chain at B5 or C2 , and a Round Chain or Cross Chain at D4 , all work . The enemies in this gateway all begin with a large amount of Bravery and use Summonstones to either lower Cloud ' s Bravery or boost their own , so the player should be aware of their HP attacks and how to avoid them . Dried River Gateway . All four enemies can be chained with a Multichain at B3 . Gulg Gateway . All five Battle Pieces can be chained with a Multichain at A4 , including the Emblem bonus for all fights .
