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

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Holy crap, it's real.

I don't know if you can call it a fighting game just from those shots, though. So far it has each character fight their respective villain. I suppose you can mix and match, but we'll see.

That art is pretty awesome though, especially Zidane. People will still hate it because it's Nomura, though.

I'm not as optimistic about FFIV DS. That Cecil looks....wrong.

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

This is the only statement I want to comment on.

Nomura's style is, quite simply....a style. It's a style that's his own and no one elses. He likes to add a bunch of belts and zippers and bizzare hairstyles. It's as much a style as Amano's preference for blonde hair, polka dots and outlandish hair accessories, or Yoshida's preference for noseless faces, oldschool armor and a curious fetish for the buttock region.

Saying he's a "bad" artist doesn't really cut it as a fact, because there's really no wrong way to design a videogame character, unless said designs are uninspired or clearly ripped off from another medium (bald space marines and whatnot). Of course there's the argument that many of his creations resemble one another, but that's as much true for Toriyama and a billion other artists you can think of. When it comes to adapting characters that weren't his originally, I think he does a very acceptable job (all the disney characters of KH). Okay, so Zidane has a ponytail now. Wow.

You can choose to hate his stuff all you want, but in the end it's a matter of preference, not fact. If his stuff was really bad, SE would've given him the boot long ago, and he's been doing this for nearly a decade now. The real problem, at least for me, is that he's overused. I haven't gotten tired of his designs, but it would be nice for a bit more variety here and there like with FFXII.

And please don't make such illogical, fanboyish claims that all "his" games suck, because 99% of the time, all he does are the character designs and a few animations. It wasn't his fault if you hated FFVIII or The Bouncer. The only games he actually had a hand in making was KH I and II, and FFvsXIII.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
