Dissidia Final Fantasy: First High Quality Trailer
Classifying Dissidia Final Fantasy as a fighting game seems like an understatement after watching this video. The game may be unclassifiable, which is a good thing. I think the video game world could use a nice violent shake.
Square Enix seems to really enjoy the transition from standard turn-based battles into fast, real-time action. I believe this love of action engines began with Kingdom Hearts and is now slowly seeping into Final Fantasy titles, like Dissidia, and soon Versus XIII.
I was surprised to see the quality of the cut-scenes between battles – although I admit I have a hard time imagining what would trigger these cut-scenes, which involve several characters at a time. According to some sources I have read about Dissidia, understanding the game’s full story requires the player to clear every character’s story.
Another thing that I saw for the first time was a square-panel board on which the player can move their character around. This appears to be how progression is measured. It seems like this may offer some non-linear aspects, but I can’t say that for sure. I can’t really imagine another reason for a map like that…
Does anyone else think that the Onion Knight looks a lot like Sora?
*UPDATE* It just dawned on me that this game will be neeeding extensive voice-acting. I would like to say that Square is one of the few companies who I trust to not hire a bunch of talentless hacks.
