Dissidia Final Fantasy

Simple Play, Good Game I'm not exactly a huge fan for Final Fantasy, but this game changes that. I love the controls, which are easy to use for the first action gamer. The cutscences are nice, and there are a few that are outstanding(specifically, the first one). I bought this game in April of this year, and still haven't finished it(but maybe that's just me. I can be pretty slow). All the playable characters are good, with all their highs and lows. The Theater feature is awesome if you want to take a break from fighting and listen to audio collected from most of the previous games, watch cutscenes, and even play/edit recorded battles! Yep, the Battle Replay feature is pretty darn nifty. But you have play a bunch of battles to unlock that stuff. There's also an online battle thing, but I've never used it, so I'm not sure how that works. If you're a hardcore gamer, chances are you won't like this game. But you're just looking for a easy to learn game like me, then this is a good pick. Rating: 4 (Dissidia Final Fantasy customer review by japanstufflover, 2010-08-21)

The story is easily eclipsed by pure entertainment Dissidia: Final Fantasy is for the fans. That is obvious from the moment one places the disc in the PSP. From the characters to the worlds, the game was made for fans of the series, whether they be newcomers like me or longtime loyalists. Though RPG or action gamers may be able to pick up the game and learn it, it is easier to digest when one is familiar with the series. The story is pretty awful, there's no doubt about it. There are rumors that there are a number of canceled story arcs that nearly made it into this game, which is unfortunate, as this is really the only drawback. How did these characters all get here, and why do they not ever really question it? Apparently, it all has to do with some god of discord, Chaos, and the goddess of harmony, Cosmos, who have been at war for millennia. All the key villains and heroes of the series are here, from the infamous Cloud and Sephiroth to the not-as-well-known, but just as beloved Firion and the Emperor. Now, there is no doubt the game was crafted as though it were an old friend - pitting various villains and heroes against one another never gets old, and some of the exchanges they have with one another, dialogue-wise, is quite entertaining. The problem is, ninety-five percent of the cutscenes are horrendous to watch for one reason or another. Story aside, however, the entertainment value is high enough to overshadow it. Leveling up characters, especially the villains, becomes addicting fast. Busting up the arenas and unleashing violent combos is quite amusing. Getting backed into corners and then railed on by the sometimes-too-intelligent AI is not so pleasant, though it does not happen too often. Sending an opponent flying into the wall with one well-aimed swing of Masamune is especially satisfying. The story mode is sufficiently challenging even for veteran players; what's better is that characters being used in story mode can be leveled up outside of it using the Quick Battle function. Without a doubt, this game can easily waste your weekends, and there will be little to no guilt involved. It is unfortunate that the idea of Yuna and Seymour being in the game rather than Tidus (tee-dus? I still call him tie-dus) and Jecht. After all, most of these storylines were sufficiently closed in their original games. Cloud still moping and fighting Sephiroth is... anguishing at best, though Sephiroth probably has a better reason for it than Cloud. Tidus and Jecht had zero emotional impact, as their story has already been wrapped up, and neatly so. There was no reason for them to be fighting again: Tidus had forgiven his father and moved on. Still, the game is one of the best for the PSP, hands down, and at least worth borrowing or renting. Though the story drags and has very little impact, the sheer enjoyment one gets from playing this game for hours on end greatly overshadows any unpleasant feelings garnered from this insignificant aspect.

Most fun I've had on my PSP, hands down I bought this game about a month after it came out and I am still playing it months after that. I got every character to level 100, learned the basics of each and every one of them, and unlocked just about everything that could be unlocked. I'm not trying to brag, I'm trying to impress upon you what a wonderful experience this game can be. I'm by no means a hardcore fighting game fan, and I can't think of any other games where I've ever been able to achieve such heights. This one hooked me badly, and I had a great time with it. The gameplay is super accessible, and after a few crazy afternoons of "what the...!" you'll start to get the hang of it. After that, the intriguing gameplay, great character design, fun story, and tons of eye candy will keep you coming back for more. Of course, if you're a final fantasy fan, the allure is all that much sweeter. I think it delivers a huge helping of fan service, and you won't be disappointing. You'll be grinning, groaning, and grinning some more at all the right moments. Just buy it. It's like Cloud on a gold chocobo waving a buster sword as big as weapon X. That's how awesome it is!

Awesome Final Fantasy game! Dissidia is basically like playing an anime version of chess. You have to make the right move or either you'll set off a chain reaction(which isn't bad, but it gets annoying from time to time.) or you'll run out of DP's(Destruction Points). Which in my case is bad when you get thru the stage and get your results. You also get to equip a lot of cool stuff that'll help you in battle and exspecially when fighting Chaos. Dissdia has all of your all time favorite characters starting from 1 all the way to 10. It's a very exciting game and I was happy when I got this. You can do a lot of things in here like...hmmm...fighting against a ghost character, or playing in wifi mode with friends and trade in friend cards so that your friends can challenge you and you recieve Moogle mail from of course the Moogles. You can either fight in Casual or Hard mode. You also have the villians from in here. Like Golbez, Kelfka, Kuja and our all time favorite...Sephiroth! It's a really neat game with lots of challenges and themes. Basically to put it short, you can either choose Cosmos; The Goddess of Harmoney, or Chaos; The God of Discord. Which team will you pick? Good or evil? Lol! And once you play with your own character, they'll have their own theme to the stage their in. I don't care what people think about this game. If you are a total FF nerd like me then it shouldn't matter. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like awesome grafics in games and wonderful fighting styles. I mean, c'mon, you're talking to a girl who still plays Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. But you have totally got to get this. If you don't like it, sorry. But for some, you'll love it.
