Day 3. Favourite Dissidia Stage
So this is an interesting question and I think it has two parts to it; oooh shiny (i.e.: pretty) and oooh handy! (i.e.: useful). So that's how I'll approach the question;
Oooooh! Shiny!:
Alright, my favourite visually pleasing level would have to be the Crystal World, I remembered being very impressed with the crystaline world (not to mention it REALLY brought back memories of IX!). I also like the dynamic of the level; there's good solid ground for fighting, but also a nice aerial space for air-combat too. Definitely an ooooh shiny! moment.

Duodecim:
I think my favourite new addition follows a similar crystaline theme, the Empyreal Paradox, although I do not like the dynamics as much due to that giant orange crystal being in the way. I generally like decluttered levels that allow for lots of fighting rather than lots of running around objects...

Oooh handy!:
Now we get on to the gamer in me and the level that I have been abusing since forever! I also really like the visuals of the level, but I've found it so useful for grinding (even more so in Duodecim than in the original!). That level being, Order's Sanctuary. (lol bad art below!)

I often use Order's Sanctuary for my level 100 grinding (My preferred tactic is pimping Firion out to everyone by using his Shield Bash to deflect in coming projectiles!), I like the big open space with minimal obstructions and the Quickmove sliders , it's useful for evasion and aerial attacking too! (Not to mention, as I said, I do love the visual look too especially the watery floor!)
In addition, Order's Sanctuary just happens to be one of the key plot areas (along with Chaos Shrine and the Edge of Madness, which are both pretty awesome too.), perhaps that is another reason why the stage resonates with me. The idea that the warriors are either defending the Order's Sanctuary or sparring there to increase in strength / mastery and improve their camaraderie / bonds with one another.
When I was thinking about how to reply to this Meme day, I found myself saying "well that level is pretty cool and that one too..." it was harder than I expected, thus why I've technically broken the question up... :D (lolhax)
Not a very long entry, (_ _);; *failure*, but I don't want to waffle and I guess I've made my point!
Tomorrow you'll get a rant on my least favourite level and why, oh it'll be a rant alright I hate this level >:U
