[PSP] Dissidia: Final Fantasy Fanboy Fellating Fighting Frenzy!

I really liked Crystal Chronicles though, especially multiplayer.

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I like how in the old days people here used to get heavily abused for not liking a game because of poor graphics, no matter what the ganeplay was like and now you're all sitting here bitching about the character's outfits and haircuts...

Fair enough, there's very little gameplay information to discuss at present but I think some of you kids could afford to be a little less shallow.

I imagine the thinking behind putting this out on PSP is the complete saturation of fighting games on other consoles. There must be thousands of 3d beat-em-ups on PS2 with little to choose between most of them. Even Tekken jumped the shark after the third one and I don't know about America or Japan but it's very rare to see a fighting game on PS2 anywhere near the best sellers list and they generally bomb in price soon after release. The last fighting game I bought was Super Dragonball Z and that was £16 on launch day, less than a Platinum title costs.

The PSP however has relatively few beat-em-ups thus far and the added bonus of easy to use internet options. Fighting games are only ever fun against a human opponent so if they sort out the online multiplayer aspect of this, it could prove to be a big hit.

I'd love to hear the logic behind that statement. How can the inclusion of a character from a game you like in a different game you've decided you won't like ruin the original game you do like? That's the sort of 'tard logic I'd expect from Zeal or Megalith.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That's about the gayest thing I've read here all week. And anyway, if you want to preserve your special memories, don't buy the new game. You don't even own a PSP do you?

Not that I'm defending the game, I have no intention of buying it whatsoever. I just think it's a big wanky to talk about your memory of special characters being raped by seeing them re-designed with bigger boots and more zips.

How ya doing, buddy?

If the fans get pissed, oh well. Ehrgeiz can satisfy them for a while longer since it had six characters from VII to choose from. Of course, the developers just might include both guys seeing how it's "the greatest game evar!"

I'm willing to bet real money that Cloud and Zack are different costumes for the same character in an Eddy/Tiger fashion.

FELIPE NO

Maybe they should have got Capcom to design it then.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's a dissaffected youth thing. Like multimillionaire emo rock bands singing about how terrible their lives are.

I'd suggest that a Judge would be more likely than Cid if it's a FFXII character. Maybe it'll be matey's brother, even if he does come good in the end? I'd laugh if they chose the Judge of Wings from Revenant Wings though.
