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.

Multiple Dimension Calamity has never been so much fun., 2010-02-01
Having spent a good part of my teen years with the Final Fantasy franchise, I was worried that throwing this kind of party together might not be such a hot thing to do. So I waited for the price to drop to the "just try me" price, and was very satisfied.
I would highly recommend the "install" function which will increase your play time, and avoid the 10-30 seconds you might have to wait between arena loads. (This works best if you have a high speed pro-duo stick intended for Video Cameras) But also note that the time it takes to "install" data will approach 45 minuets. [Dissidia Final Fantasy UMD is still required to play the game.]
As for the game it's self, there is a great number of topics to get into. For starters, I will talk briefly about the differences from the demo version and the retail. Having played the demo more than a few times, I was happy to find the slight strategy element of the "board game" setup. In the demo you were just able to play area mode, but the main game takes place inside the stories of each of the different hero's. (Be warned that each hero's story has a varying level of difficulty, you might not be able to just jump into your favorite character's story and expect to live.) Only the hero's stories are available from the beginning, you must play the game to earn "PP" to unlock a number of extras. This was kind of a bummer, but it gave me a reason to stick with the game long enough to really get to enjoy the full scale of things it had to offer.
Equipment and summons are kind of a let down, but it's rare for such things to work perfectly in a fighting game. So I don't want anyone to come to this expecting "this will be the bomb" because it really is a fanboy game. I don't think this game is for everyone, but IT IS for anyone who has been enchanted by the magic of the Final Fantasy series.
Graphics: 9 / 10 (Close to the best seen on the PSP)
Sound/Music: 10 /10 (Buying the full sound track has crossed my mind more than once.)
Content: 9 /10 (There is a lot to do in this game, but grinding is still a small issue)
Writing/story: 8 / 10 (You have to work at the game to put the full story together)
Final note: Recommended
Hardest game I've ever played., 2010-02-26
I have played every FF title to date and have thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. I was therefore inclined to try out this ''compilation'' style FF game. While the game has a lot of great FF element, the battle system is literally ground-breakingly difficult. I was able to manage getting through FFIV's Cecil's story, beating Golbez after only 10 tries. But then I went on to FFVII's Cloud's story and after about 20 fails I am still not able to beat him.
That said, if you buy this game hoping for another enjoyable FF experience, you may as well buy an additional PSP as well because you will most likely destroy at least one trying to progress through this game. My experience so far has been on the easy mode story modes. I cannot imagine how hard the more difficult rated stories such as FFVI's Terra, my favorite Dissidia FF character, will be. FF fans, be prepared for a slap in the face. Unless you mastered Mortal Kombat back in the day, this game is guaranteed to give you a heart attack.
Great game, a tad repetitive., 2010-01-30
(My son typed this)
This game was a lot of fun! I got it for christmas and it's so much fun to create and play battles with any final fantasy character! Who'd of ever thought i'd see Squall and Cloud fight! This game is a great buy and I'm sure you'd enjoy hours of fun with it.
Pros:
Fun
Coustomizable
Plenty of gameplay
Cons:
The story is a little repetitive, but its still a great one.
Great Gameplay, Simple Plot, 2010-01-16
I've played this game a good bit since I received it as a Christmas present. I love the gameplay, it's very accessible. I love the characters they chose (for the most part). I love the nostalgia I get from seeing some old friends (Cloud, Terra, Firrion, Cecil). It's a fun game. I bought my PSP specifically to play it, and I don't regret that decision.
Problems? Early model PSP owners will have to change the settings a little bid to accommodate hardware differences. Also, the plot is a very overdone GOOD GUYS vs. BAD GUYS one, and I think most of the games these characters came from weren't that simple. About 2/10ths of the characters have to deal with family issues over the course of the game, which can get very tedious. Most importantly, I think I would have liked to see some of the supporting character NPCs that they use as menu Q and A guides in a cutscene. Also, there is absolutely no explanation as to what these characters think happened to their worlds or how they think they arrived at their location. I kind of wonder if this game might have started as a potential Kingdom Hearts title that they decided would be better kept within the Final Fantasies.
fantastic game, 2010-01-21
I purchased this game from Amazon on 12/22, and I got it on 12/24! The shipment is super fast, and I didn't pay extra money for that. The game is fantastic, I love it!
