1UP Dissidia Final Fantasy Review

Say what you want about Square Enix's output -- lord knows they try to be different. For Dissidia Final Fantasy, they could have just made a Final Fantasy-skinned fighting game. But usually, when a crossover game happens within a popular franchise, the results are far from ideal. Dissidia may look like a cash-in, where beloved characters are shoved into a fighting game template, but at the very least, it tries to keep from feeling like one. Instead, what you have is a different kind of fighting game, one mixed with the series' better qualities.
Given that Final Fantasy is fantasy, it's just as much about magic as it is swords and shields; so Dissidia encourages lots of flying or otherwise bounding around arenas as you trade blows with your opponents. It's like a Dragon Ball Z game. Merely saying that no doubt turns off some gamers, but even DBZ games have their high points. And in the confines of this franchise, it does make some sense.

I'm curious but is it possible to legally play these games without buying a psp?

luckytrouble1893d ago

You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.

WeAreLegion1893d ago

Some of them, yes. But most PSP games are locked to that system or digitally on Vita. The Vita's second analog stick is amazing for FPS games. I use an emulator to play many PSP games. I know that's illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. There's no way to give developers money for these games anymore. Unless you buy their new games. :)

Highly recommend Infected, if you get the chance.

Magic_Spatula1892d ago

Emulators aren't illegal. Unethical? Maybe. The issue companies have are how you obtained the games. If you got them through legal matters (such as making your own backups of games you own and not distributing them), they're mostly okay with that. If you got the through less..... ethical means, then yeah, it's a no-no in their eyes.

Fluke_Skywalker1892d ago

@Magic_Spatula Like he said, there is no legal way to buy most psp games anymore in a way that gives the developers any money. So yes emulators are normally illegal and unethical, but in this case its actually the only way to play some of these games, if you didn't buy the games many years ago.

Fluke_Skywalker1892d ago

Yeah they really need to give us a remake of that for PS4/5 I absolutely loved that game. Still the saddest ending to a video game ever.

SDuck1893d ago

The fact this has vanilla Dissidia instead of Duodecim tells me not to take the list serious. Duodecim is obviously the superior since it has the same content (story included) from the first game and (much) more

Magic_Spatula1892d ago

Yeah. Duodecim was basically an enhanced version of the original game.
