Title: Final Fantasy Dissidia
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 29, 2009, 07:26:45 PM

lol I have no idea what's going on.  As far as I can tell there is one combo (o,o,o), square for a special move, and an EX special move.  The dash stuff is cool.  Guarding is kind of annoying (I hate it when games artificially put a delay in blocking of all moves...just a weak way of adding difficulty.)  So, it's a pretty superficial game so far.

on the other hand, there's tons of shit always flashing on the screen and in the menus, so I'm assuming that to make up for the gameplay, they added all kinds of unlockables and stat-related things.   and the music is awesome.

anyone else play this?


They totally fucked up the Warrior of Light...who is this Alucard looking guy?  Where's the red headed shades-wearing dude?

You get more moves as you play.  It basically is Phantom Dust with Final Fantasy characters.  If you play online against real people it's fairly deep.

I dug it but the story blows.  They completely wasted the opportunity to have crazy awesome fanservice cutscenes and instead just had boring cutscenes.

I played the hell out of this back in December and January, but haven't touched it in a while. I'm content with the Asian version, I don't know if I'll pick up the NA release.

If you weren't joking, Warrior of Light comes from the original Amano illustration/box art for FF1.  (http://www.blogcdn.com/playstation.joystiq.com/media/2007/06/ff1amano.jpg)

Are they adding anything significant to the NA release that would make it worth a pickup?

Off topic, I love Amano's art. The things I would do for a Final Fantasy done in this art style.

I played this a lot when it came out in Japan, but no idea what was going on. Cutscenes were boring but the gameplay was super addictive. I'm looking forward to playing it in English, eventually.

Supposedly, they are tweaking the balance and adding moves and stuff.
