Final Fantasy Dissidia

[BlackKnight]

 

 

To date, Crisis Core has been the only 'original' FF title developed specifically for the PSP. That's about to change with the recently unveiled Dissidia: Final Fantasy. No other information, apart from the name and logo, has been revealed. More is to come apparently at the Square-Enix Party later this month.

 

Personally I am stoked seeing as I love my PSP, hate the DS and all that, but moreso because I'm squarely outside the next-gen race at the moment and like the quaint, small-scope feeling of handheld games these days anyway. The FF1 remake reminded me of that much. And anyway it's a new game- maybe not even an RPG- and maybe in a new continuity too (so far it hasn't been tied to either the FF7 or FF12 worlds). Might just be me, but do those two figures in the logo seem familiar to anyone?

 

Anyway, what does everyone think? Check the Official Site, and add your 2c and theories as to what this game might be about.

The two figures are Shiva and Ifrit, so yeah, I'd say they're famililar. I don't have a PSP, but I want one for things like this.

[Lucandrake]

The power struggle between Ifrit and Shiva, fire vs. ice, good vs. evil!!

 

Just kidding, my best guess however is that .

[OverlordMondo]

Playing as Ifrit would rule. I'd like something similar to fighting with Aeons in FFX.

[L.S.D]

FINALLY!!!!! A PSP only original Final Fantasy title!

 

This will bring the sales in by bucketload!

Every day, the space in my heart that my PSP used to occupy grows more and more painful and empty...

[L.S.D]

BTW, Magic Box said that the game is a dramatic progressive action game. WHat the hell is that, go figure.

Yeh I read that too. Either its just some translation byproduct crap or theyre going for something totally different. Can't wait to find out though.

i dont think it will pair up to the old style ff like ff3 and 4 and those great times

Never played em Enjoyed 1 though and I don't think it gets more old style than that.

[Elazul Yagami]

one of my earliest memories of ff1 involved the following:

 

i bought a wrong sword.

would go out in battle.

lose 3 of my team members

go to town,revive them with all the money i made.

 

rinse and repeat...

 

it left a bad taste in my mouth, but not worse than DW1;

 

went out into the world.

met three slimes.

got my ass kicked.

game over.

........ first 5 mins of playing.

[BlackKnight]

The old games are particularly punishing.

 

The FF1 remakes are apparently a lot easier still than the old ones, but I simply cannot beat Chaos, the final boss.

 

I hit for 800-1000 only with my Knight and only when Sabered, Tempered, and Hasted. Magic, including Flare and Holy, does bugger all to him.

 

He has 20000 HP and casts Curaja frequently for 9999 healing. Even if he heals 1 in 10 turns Im still screwed. My Red Mage, Black Mage and White Mage all get killed in 1 hit even when Protect, Invisible and NullAll have been cast on them.

 

I consider this, thusly, impossible.

New Details

 

The veil of secrecy has come off of Final Fantasy Dissidia, this week's surprise PSP announcement. While we previously had nothing more than just a name and a teaser website for the game, the latest issue of Jump Magazine has provided first details on the characters and gameplay systems.

 

Dissidia seems like it could be the perfect way to celebrate the Final Fantasy 20th anniversary, as it brings together characters from past entries. Jump offers a look at just two members of the cast. Making an appearance from Final Fantasy I is Warrior of Light. From Final Fantasy IX comes Zidane Tribal. Jump also reveals that Kuja, one of the villains from FFIX, will make an appearance.

 

Square Enix originally described Dissidia as a Progressive Action game. We're still not sure what the progressive part means, but the action part of the equation is pretty clear. The game features close-range combat on a 3D battle field, complete with jumping and special skills.

 

We're expecting more details on Dissidia to emerge from the Square Enix Party this weekend, so be sure and check back with IGNPSP.

 

If nothing else, I am glad that the FF1-FF9 connections are going to be stronger in this game.

 

I knew that Garland was the same guy! Makes me feel better about kicking his ass in 9 while he is such a b.tch in 1.
