What made the first one great? I'm not trolling I just didn't enjoy it. I also didn't put too much time into it so I'm just curious if it takes a little bit to get going. I fell like I'm missing something.

I saw some hope in it but it just seemed rather flat and benign once you did a few of the same battles. I mean, if you remove the fanfare and fantasy universe, is it a good fighter on its own?

@Mmmmz A lot of it was fanservice, the other was how diffierent and fun it was for a fighter. I guess it appealed to a lot of RPG fans cause it wasn't a combo memorizing fest. But rather a nice strategy/spam fight. Plus the amount of customization and great music made it a must own.

The fighting style probably doesn't appeal to a lot of people, and honestly, if you remove the whole FF part, its just a silly little fighter. But because its FF based, thats what made it more special, I guess.

Personally I thought without the FF it would still be a great fighter with tons of awesome content. Never played a fighting game where you can build your fighter up to your preference (kinda like WoW classes), and then each plays entirely differently. Like Terra is lots of ranged magic spells and aerial manuevers, Onion Knight is all about the crazy fury combos, Cloud is straight on button mashing, Tidus is about combos, Zidane has a great aerial combat build, etc. Each character has a better way to fight someone else. Then you add on the whole strategy aspect of balancing attack types (one builds up your damage count, the other does whatever your damage count is).

Honestly, I was hoping they'd put out another Dissidia for some other universe. Was hoping that's why they prefaced FF with Dissidia, so we'd see a Dissidia: Dragon Quest, or Dissidia: Kingdom Hearts. W/E, just more Dissidia gameplay, achievement tracking, etc.

@Punkrawk Bbob Tidus is more of a fast + counter character not really combo IMO

Well, these screens potentially confirm that previous characters are already there, since Kain is fighting Cecil and whatnot.

@Kenaf

You can also see that they're fighting on the moon. I hope this isn't just going to be an expansion for the first game.

@Gibbeynator Its a sequel to a fighting game made a short while after the first one on the same platform.

What do you expect, lol

Gameplay was actually pretty cool. Story was awful though. I agree about it being a fan-service though.

I want to play with Shadow, and Cyan, and Locke, and... heck, just add the entire FF VI cast and I'll buy 10 copies.

By the way Duodecim is pronounced [Doo-Oh-Deck-Kim]
Because there is no see sounds in Latin.

I'd rather have had Sazh. At least he was interesting.

I wonder why it's called Dissidia Duodecim(12).

I was just wondering the other day how Lightning would work in EX Mode and now we see. Odin's sword with the Gestalt commands showing up one after the other. Nice.

I can only wonder how they'll improve upon the system they had in place for the first game. I racked up almost 100 hours, but got nowhere, in the grand scheme of things. Still had a blast.

I've lost my PSP. I'd buy this if it was on PS3.

You know I might just get this game so I can kick LIghtning's stupid ass over and over again. First with Sephiroth then with Cloud and then with Terra.
