What? Square made a spin off that is truly amazing? This only happens every so often...

The demo is out on the US PlayStation Store - GO GET IT!

So far... the NAPK1NS impressions...

LOVE!

... the beat-down ****gameplay. Bashing the snot out of all kinds of Final Fantasy characters across the whole series is just awesome.

... the visuals! This is a great looking PSP game that has no slow down (from what I've seen).

... fast, relentless pace. Smashing people though columns/running up walls ftw.

... the soundtrack! The soft FF theme sounds as good as ever, but the new Dissidia-specific music is also great. Fits perfectly!

... the smooth, simplistic menus. I love a good presentation in a game and Square continues to make a beautiful coating around their game.

... great controls!

... the release date. August 25th isn't too far away!

DO NOT LOVE!

... where's ma' Tifa? Ma' Vivi! :(

... camera can get pretty jankey sometimes. Beware tight corners.

... feeling out some of the moves is tricky (at first).

... the fact I don't have the full game.

THE CONCLUSION!

This game is totally badass. smashing craters in the ground and throwing down with tons of memorable characters while listening to remixes of Uematsu's ****c tunes. It's a great idea and and apparently a damn good game. It's really fun and fast. Everyone go check it out!

August 25th! Mark your calenders!

PC,360, PS3, Wii, it really wouldn't have mattered. Preferably PS3/360 but yeah. Its a game I think would benefit from a console over PSP.

I have never been to big on FF games, but this demo alone is making me want to play them just so I can learn to love the characters. I preordered it a week ago and now it is cementing my ideal that it was a PERFECT buy. But I thought there was going to be online battles. :( That is sad, and needless to say I'll be gobbling up any DLC they decide to add. (if they do)

I will try the demo when I go back home next week (I am on a trip), but from what I played at E3, it is really fun, through the camera does have some not so good moments. I am going to get the game on amazon.:)

We can always hope for a sequel, just imagine it with more characters and sick graphics, hell, even a tag or team mode, it would be cool to have Cloud/Aerith vs Squall/Rinoa. Yep it sounds like pure fan service, and it would be awesome.

This is a game where button mashing really won't get you places. I doubt it would even feel very responsive. The best corse of action is to learn what the controls are and know what actions your preforming.

The demo is freakin awesome. i can't wait to get the full version and have the rpg story with weapons armors and the supposed game board I seen in the picks. I was a little dispointed the demo had none of the rpg stuff.

I disagree, while the controls/camera are a hurdle and may take a bit to get used to, its not a premanant problem, and I think the game looks really good graphically, good enough that I'd rather not wait 2-3 years for a PS3/360 version, that team very much needs to be working elsewhere, and dissidia being a full console title would only push everything back. With good graphics and decent controls, i can't complain about much anyway.

Yeah, a I hear a lot of people say that they wish this one was on a console but i have to disagree. I always have a hard time justifying a purchase of a fighting game on a console - $60 bucks is just too much. The game looks and plays good enough that I don't feel like I'm getting a shafted version, and battles on-the-go will be great.

What's not to get? It's a fighting FF game with FF characters. Anyways I thought the demo was good, the camera at times were annoying, but overall the gameplay was awesome. The CPU wasn't too predictable which gave me a decent challenge on hard mode. Oh and for the poll, I voted Cecil. I understood how to use him fairly easily and him changing from dark to light knight was awesome. Oh and FFIV was the first FF game I played so it was quite obvious who I would like :D

Go Cecil! i didn't think he will be so high up with the favorites. Although I prefer Kain.
