Dissidia: Final Fantasy is halfway done (PSP has a game, CONFIRMED) photo

You're damn right that I'm stoked for Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Any fighting game that throws FF IX's Kuja into the mix gets a big thumbs up from me, but according to Famitsu's soggy pages, the game is at 50% completion. Only halfway there? Aw, maaaaan.

Still, this is Square-Enix we're talking about, so such news shouldn't really come as much of a shocker. With only half the cast revealed so far, it seems like we have a long haul before PSP gamers have something they could feasibly want to spend real money on for their systems.

Still, a game not being rushed out of the door is always refreshing news, even if it means having to wait.

The psp having no game is more like an internet meme now than reality.
If you really think it hasn't any then fuck you Jim!(not really I love you)

There's no way to make Tidus badass. Sorry, Squeenix.

I'm surprised it's only 50% done since it's been a while since it was announced, but it likely doesn't have a huge team working on it either.

I'm still not sold on fighting games for the PSP, but since this is FinalFantasy and I'm a very stupid fanboy, I will have to buy this and can't wait.
Also I still want Auron in that game.

@Aruvantoid: I second you're opinion on Sephiroth! I love him, but he's had enough face time

Why is this only coming out for PSP? Does that make any sense at all? A Final Fantasy fighting game.. only coming out for PSP..? They could spam this on all systems and make a damn fortune....

Oh well, another PSP gem escapes me. You'll join Crisis Core, Mega Man Powered Up, Mega Man X: Maverick Hunter, and God of War PSP in the land of the lost....

killias2: There are enough other Final Fantasy games coming out on every other console I can think of (except maybe Xbox). They even have a couple of FF games for mobile phones...

Narishma: This isn't a Final Fantasy game really though. It's a Fighting game with Final Fantasy characters. That shit is one-of-a-kind (well, except for Ehrgeiz, which I own). Like I care about Crystal Chronicles for the Wii/Gamecube/DS. Heck, I don't really even care about FF13 after how terrible FF12 was. Still, I love the classics, and I think this could be cool.

Spam all the systems with Dissidia! I'll buy it, I swear!

@killias2: How about just buying a PSP then? I hear people love to pirate stuff for it.

If Konami would bring over the Suikoden I and II disc from Japan, hell yes I would buy a PSP. But for now, all there is is Crisis Core and Lumines and ports of PS1 and PS2 games. I might pick up the God of War bundle, but is 200 dollars worth a five hour game (from what I've heard)?

As long as Tidus doesn't talk at all in this game it'll be fine

This is the first I've heard of this game! Me and my Katamari was almost enough to make me re-buy a PSP, I think this game seals the deal.

Jim, I'm glad you're around to spread the FFIX love. I'm buying a PSP for this game, thanks to the inclusion of Kuja and Zidane.

Do I see me a Jecht?

Any game that lets me beat the shit out of Kuja is a game worth playing

"How about just buying a PSP then? I hear people love to pirate stuff for it."

I would if their firmware wasn't so oppressive. Also, last time I bought a portable gaming system, I bought the GBA (original) like right when it came out. I hardly ever played it. I don't plan on repeating that mistake.

Am I one of the four people on the planet that actually liked Final Fantasy X enough to excuse the overblown melodramatic main character?

I liked FFX and x-2. But also I never had a psone. I had a saturn and dreamcast instead.

I like FFX, I just finished replaying it the other night. It's just popular to hate on stuff, for whatever reason. I've never had anything against Tidus either. The only FF I really do not like is VIII.
