i havent beaten the game yet, but the game play is unique! its a good game.

Dear lord......Ths Game is so addicitng i sill ahve trouble putting it down and i got it the day after it came out. Everything about this game is great, exept one thing.

This is a great game because it includes all of the main final fantasy character, and even throws in a new one. The story: The Goddess of Harmony Cosmos is in a conflict with the God of Discord, Chaos. (Fans will recognize him from FF1.) The deities battle again and again, and Summon 10 warriors apiece to do battle. In the end, the conflict keeps repeating itself (Spoiler) Due to Shinryu, the Wyrm that purifies the world, the Dragon Feared by even the Gods.

Play able Characters:
Warrior of Light: Final Fantasy 1. (he is not a real character, because in FF1, you had classes instead of characters.)
Garland: Final Fantasy 1. The Rouge Knight of Cornelia. (No, he does not say "I Garland, will KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN!" =()
Firion, the weapons master from FF2.
The Emporer : FF2
Onion Knight: FF3
Cloud Of Darkness: FF3 (Too scantily clad for my tastes.)
Cecil the Dark Knight/Paladin FF4
Golbez: FF4
Bartz (Buttz in the Japanese version) FF5
ExDeath: FF5
Terra: FF6
Kefka (some joker person.) FF6
Cloud: FF7 (alternate look = Advent children Clothes!)
Sephiroth: FF7 (How do you have a Bad @$$ game like this w/o Sephiroth?)
Squall FF8 (I started with him)
Ultimitia FF8
Zidane FF9
Kuja FF9
Tidus FF10
Jecht FF10
Shantotto THe Taru Taru Mage from FF11
Gabranth the Judge from FF12.

Non Playable characters:
Cosmos (Does not battle)
Chaos (TOO POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!)

The only Gripes i have with this game is that there were no Exclusive characters, Warrior of Light isn't real, and victory can be arbitrary. For example: Your level 1 fighting a level 100 boss. you get killed almost every thime, but sometimes you get lucky and your summon propells you to victory (or vice versa)

An absolut MUST for all final fantasy fans.

Dissidia is the best Final Fantasy fighting game because it's the only FF dedicated fighting game. It can be played in Story Mode, Arcade or Online. I enjoy all three modes and I recommend it to all Final Fantasy fans and to those who love fighting games but not everything is perfect.


GAME MODES

It all starts with a movie that that goes through every main character from every Final Fantasy game individually. If you do the Story Mode you can be one of 10 'good' characters and fight your way to the finish.

When you play Online you can be a good character or play as the villains if you can afford to buy them for Perk points in the Perk shop.

In the Arcade mode where you can earn Perk and Gil points if you fight well you can also be any of the 10 good characters or any of the 10 main villains.

Any battle can be replayed but that's not it. Once the battle is over it can be saved and then edited and saved as a movie. This works in any mode: story, arcade or online.


GAMEPLAY

Is different form other fighting games in that you have to use a combination of melee and ranged attacks. This earns you Bravery points. The more Bravery you have the more life damage you do when you perform a primary attack. You can also collect EXO points on the battlefield to transform yourself into a stronger form and do an extremely powerful attack.

You earn Perc points and Gil in the Arcade mode or in the Story mode and you can use them to buy equipment, summoning gems, cool costumes or to summon any of the 10 main villains.


THE GOODS AND THE BADS

This is a fun and addictive game and I've been playing it every day for a few days already. I found the 'Teen' rating to be appropriate because anyone younger would find Dissidia hard to play.

In my view, there are a few problems too. For example, you cannot play as Zack Fair form 'Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core' because he is considered a secondary character. It also takes some practice to get used to the battle system. Online battles can be glitchy sometimes with the game freezing for a second or two but that could be because of the Wi-Fi network.

Note: The above is mainly Bradd's review with me responsible for some edits. Bradd is my son.

a real masterpiece. especially when you battle Sephiroth. its truly amazing. buy this game. you wont regret it. graphics are amazing.

I have been playing this for last month, and surprisingly, still haven't finish yet. For a big psp gamer, i played almost all the psp games. Most of game don't last more than 2 weeks. This game have great replay value, each characters has their own story and cut scenes. Also it has great customization which will add to more playing time. So, i don't see the reason that you are not buying this game, even you are not a big fan of FF.
