  1. Review Date: 2009-11-15

    Except for Final Fantasy Tactics (psp) and Tactics advanced, both of which are spin offs of the series, I hadn't played a single Final Fantasy title until after I played a month's worth of this game. Initially I thought the game was okay; I enjoyed the music and graphics, but the levels weren't really that interesting looking to me except for a few, and the dialogue annoyed me greatly (and the voice over for Cosmos especially). The Tidus/Jecht storyline,however, really interested me in playing FFX (I wanted to know why Tidus hated his father), even though I didn't like how Dissidia tied their story (and the other characters) to Dissidia's own storyline. I do realize there's only so much content you can put in one game especially when the characters are all from different game, thus, the game is, in my opinion, a good way to familiarize yourself with some of the characters if you haven't played any of the Final Fantasy games of the main series.

    I personally would grade this game between a C- and D.

    I bought the PSP system just for this game. As a final fantasy fan, this game is a must. All the major heroes and villains from FF!-10 are in this game. Also in the North american release we get an exclusive Arcade mode that plays like a standard fighter.

    Dissidia is a complex game with a seperate story mode(you play as each character through a long story), and a battle mode,(playing as your fav character against comps or other people). There are other applications like, arcade mode... etc.

    GOOD:
    - great graphics
    - great controls
    - thousands of accessories, materials and weapons
    - amazing characters(personally love Onion Knight)
    - battles get more fun each time
    - classic FF system
    - online battling



    BAD:
    - story is ecsessive
    - difficult to play at first
    - sometimes slow on online battles

    overall, BUY THIS GAME!!!

Story
Players, prepare to profess your allegiance to either Cosmos or Chaos...Cosmos is the goddess of harmony, while Chaos is the god of discord. Reigning from distant realms, the two gods had gathered warriors from all lands to lead them in savage war. At one time Cosmos and Chaos were of equal in strength. It was believed that their conflict would last forever. However, the balance is now broken. Those who answered Chaos' call created an inexhaustible force. And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos' favor...The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. As for the few surviving warriors… their fates have yet to be determined.

Gameplay
Featuring action very similar to other games in the Final Fantasy series, Dissidia Final Fantasy consists of one-on-one combat either against a human or AI opponent where the goal is to reduces your opponent's hit points to zero. This is done through a series of attacks and battle features which must be balanced against the player's status and that of the opponent faced. In addition, the game also features "EX Mode" which increases the power of existing attacks. This mode can be activated in a variety of ways, both related to combat and chance.

Characters
Dissidia Final Fantasy features characters from both sides of the struggle from each of the games in the Final Fantasy series. Although favorites will soon be found, the storyline of game's main campaign requires players to assume the role of each of these characters at one point or another in order to attain ultimate success. All told the game contains twenty-two total playable characters from Final Fantasy through Final Fantasy XII; evenly split between heroes and villains. In addition, players can also look forward to playing as a few secret characters unlockable in the game. Regardless of the character, players will find that each will become more powerful as they gain experience in battle, have access to different costumes and in most cases are able to transform into different physical forms in specific modes and wield fully customizable.
