Dissidia: Final Fantasy Fanboy Fellating Fighting Frenzy!
 

Wow soo much stuff to look forward to at the SE party :)

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Man, for a second there I thought they might actually do something great with this project. Ah well.

Does this even mean anything? Dramatic progressive action game? What gives?

Blol. K nothx =I PSP.

Sounds to me like either an interactive novel or just a very generic action game with lots of cutscenes.

Point is, much like Crystal Chronicles, this is meant to make people go "Wow! A new Final Fantasy! And all the quality that comes with that title!" and not pay attention that it's not a Final Fantasy game in any way but the name.

PSP needs more original "true" titles instead of these side-projects and ports.

I'm rather glad it won't be another role-laying game, we have enough of those stupid role-laying games already. I couldn't stand another dose of boring role-laying. I've grown out of childish laying games. Even if it means getting laid by Final Fantasy characters.

Dramatic progessive action sounds fun. I couldn't possibly think of a more generic description.

I really liked Crystal Chronicles though, especially multiplayer.

That description has cut-scene heavy platform game written all over it though.

Hey, you know I enjoyed Crystal Chronicles as well. But when you see "Final Fantasy", a narrative-free, clumsy 3D Gauntlet is not what you expect.

No, you expect a criminally predictable plot, nice graphics, annoying as fuck American voice acting and an approach to a difficulty curve that involves nothing more than adding more 0s to the bosses hit point totals.

I mean, is applying the Final Fantasy name to some different things really such a bad thing?

If it produces titles like Dirge of Cerberus, very much so. And Nomura at the helm, it doesn't bode well.


(not to mention your description applies to pretty much every US released JRPG there is)

(Yeah, I appreciate that and you know me, I still buy all of them. ^_^ )

Eh, I'm not really a fan of anything Nomura has done and I don't expect this to change my opinion of him. He's a part of so many different titles right now, I guess I just don't understand why they don't hand this one off to someone else.

Oh well, maybe it'll prove me wrong and turn out decent. I wouldn't mind that so much.

Nomura wasn't technically at the helm of DoC; he did the artwork, but didn't direct it.

I, for one, remain cautiously optomistic. I wonder who'll score it; if Nomura is actually the director, I wager it'll be Shimomura.

Wow that's a new one. "Dramatic progressive action game."

Can't say I'm too excited about it right now unless I hear more information about it. I would assume it's something like DoC, a game I've never played.

P.S. CC is a blast in multiplayer.

P.P.S. I'm looking forward to Revenant Wings. it looks so cute :3

Dramatic progressive action = dating sim. Black Mage is finally going to get some action.

We, the members of the RPG playing community, do not endorse or condone Freelance Wolf in any way, shape or form. Comments like "it looks so cute :3" and general furry-dom are not supported by members of this community and we repeat, we do not condone the actions of this person... thing.

That out of the way, CC was awful, Nomura is a travesty made worse by the fact he followed Amano, and dramatic progressive action game sounds like cut scenes in an FPS. Ugh.

If "dramatic progressive action" turns out to be merely a visual novel, then hopefully it's not Amano's art that would be featured. I can imagine people getting turned off by his distinct style of drawing the FF characters. As well, it would hopefully generate a little more interest in the visual novel genre and maybe prod them to bring more of the sort to NA, with all the pre-hype this will receive.

So it seems no one here has gotten the news yet, but apparently news has leaked out about this game.

Get this: It's a 3D action game starring characters from all the previous FF games.

Yes...like Smash Bros.

Confirmed characters include Zidane, Kuja, Garland, and a "Warrior of Light" from FFI.

If any of that sounds absurd, I agree with you, but let's find out.

Also, they're remaking FFIV for the DS. Yes, again.

Is it my fault that I think sprites are cute?

But seriously, I love FFXII and want to see a continuation. The sprites are just a bonus.

So this game is basically a Tales of the World title. Means it'll probably be cool for fans of the previous games, but not much else for others. I'm going to remain skeptical...

Hope it's not a failure like Eirgheiz (however you spell it). If the play mechanics are good, it might be a decent buy, except that I'll never find another person with a PSP to play against. It would be better to come out on DS with Wifi.

That's easily solved by having this actually use some kind of infrastructure wifi rather than ad-hoc. Of course, this probably won't be the case.

Honestly, I'm kind of split with regards to this. It could turn out to be a good game or something awful, but we just have to wait for screens and more information/impressions on it.

Anyone else see where SE could take this? We could end up seeing a Dissidia for every other IP they have.

I think they already confirmed that there will be online wifi.

Really? Got some links and quotes, since that's great news if true. Especially if they actually follow through with it.
