The other characters of note are Kain from Final Fantasy IV and Yuna from Final Fantasy X, sadly Balthier and Auron are still absent from the roster. Square Enix knew she would be a big draw and the game opens with her chapter as she meets the characters and begins battling across the varied stages. The entire original cast of Dissidia Final Fantasy returns plus nine additional characters, the highlight being Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. In fact the ‘012’ from the title is to signify that this is the 12th time the forces have battled each other.
This is the follow-up to the successful Dissidia Final Fantasy released in 2009 and while it is a terrific game, it would have been nice to see some true innovation over the previous title.ĭissidia duodecim is staged as a prequel to the original game and from the start lets us know that this battle between Chaos and Cosmos is one that has been waged for a long time. Going forward this title will be referred to as Dissidia duodecim (although that is still quite the mouthful) in this review.
If nothing else Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy will win any award given to the most convoluted name for a game on the PSP this year.
