Dissidia: Final Fantasy sequel? Maybe yes! photo

Square Enix artist and director Tetsuya Nomura has teased a sequel to the relatively decent PSP fan-service brawler, Dissidia: Final Fantasy. While he stopped short of confirming any solid plans for the game, he certainly didn't deny anything either. 

"I'll try my best for a Dissidia: Final Fantasy sequel," hints Nomura, via Twitter. 

Sounds like it's something he definitely wants to do, so it's just a case of whether or not Square Enix wants it too. The first game had a lot of promise, although a few faults held it back. If the sequel could fix some of those issues, it'd be a great portable title indeed.

And this alone would fire up the speculators as to who will be in this time around. Easily several more from FFs 7 and 13...

While I know I'm the only person in the world who cares anymore I really would prefer a new console Kingdom Hearts from Nomura.

Buy game, get sequel. C'mon, let the purchase that sank way too many of my hours (and induced even more carpal pain) come to further fruition.

Hey Jim,

I'm looking forward to your review on this so I can get a nice comparison between the two.

Still my favorite PSP game to date, but I'm wary of eeeing a follow up unless data from the first game crosses over. Its like Pokemon in a way, a competitive RPG and grinding back all those weapons and items would be asking way to much of a returning player.

I could really give a damn about a another console KH game at this point. Let the series be done as of BBS, there's no sense in dragging it out any further. Disney clearly doesn't have their hearts in it anymore, only SE does. Otherwise we'd have KH cartoons or maybe even a feature-length movie by now.

I do like that Nomura has been giving handhelds a good deal of attention, too. I hope Dissidia 2 is on the backburner, because I'm more interested in that body-snatching RPG he was working on for PSP.

Agreed with Silent on data carryover.

Also: Make this happen.

Eh, fine, to fill out the linky-links, another alternate for Cloud

I would gladly overlook Dissidia's unplayable controls if Sabin was in the next game.

Put this out on PS3. Cause I want to play it and I'll never own a PSP.

Let's hope they just not do this. The fact that Terra/Tina talked and it was completely HORRIBLE infuriated me. That goes for most of the "old school" cast that talked in this game. Way to take a dump on your legacy, Squareenix.

I would be interested. But I hope they either step up their story-making game or don't put one in at all.

I liked Terra's voice. It seemed fitting.

I TOTALLY welcome a sequel. I put in over 130+ hours of gameplay into this game. It was so fun, but somehow, my data got corrupted....

I would love to see other Square characters make it in. Also, if possible, FF13 characters.

A lot of people have issues with Dissidia but this is easily my favorite PSP game and I don't even like Final Fantasy. I don't know jack about the series besides Advent Children and the 2 hours I spent playing 12. I put over 50 hours into the game before I lost my data which is more than I normally spend playing PS3/3360 games. I loved the combat and and constant rewards the game gives you just for playing. It makes you feel like you're doing more than just grinding.

I thought the voice acting was great in Dissidia. I'd like more characters in the next one, including Shadow (unreleated to ShadowWII) and Interceptor.

Although it can be frustrating, I am really enjoying Dissidia. A sequel would be great, although it really needs to get rid of the grinding. Ugh.

Dissidia was awesome.
Hope it's on PS3 instead of PSP though this time.

I was trying to think up this game's title the other day. Yes I hope it comes out for the PS3, I don't trust myself to protect a PSP enough to get one. Although there is enough good stuff out for it now to make it worth while probably.

Jim, for the love of GOD! What faults held DISSIDIA back? Im not normally an internet rager, but it seems like you're just knocking the game down in the last sentence of you're news post for no apparent reason. It's not far off the only game in its style of play/genre, so what would have made it better? what did it need to be for it to be perfectly great for what it was trying to do?

I like Dissidia a LOT. The story was eh, but the game was tons of fun. I hope if it comes to consoles it's not JUST the PS3...unless I have one by then.

But they better keep the original Japanese voice acting, 'cause the English voice acting sucked.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
