Recently Played~Dissidia: Final Fantasy (PSP)

I've been busy playing the newly released PSP game~Dissidia: Final Fantasy. It's an action RPG/fighting game following the story of other related Final Fantasy games. I was hooked with its arcade demo version with five playable characters (all characters are playable on full game arcade). The game is a bit different from the past FF titles and it took a break from the cute chubby characters. They are now on full 3D, just like those on the movies. Most parts of the game are on one-on-one fighting style and less RPG style. Character can also undergo customizations on skills, equipments, summons, etc.

The game is also full of movie clips and cut scenes which made
playing it like following a story on a movie. Dissidia seems to be a reunion of FF characters from episodes I-XI with its set of protagonists and antagonists. At first the player takes the role of the Warrior of Light, then plays the other protagonists' stories. The story of the game revolves on the conflict between Cosmos and Chaos.

My reviews~
Storyline: As I said, accomplishing some parts of
the game will give movie-like scenes about the story which is a bit exciting specially for those FF fanatics.
Game-play: Playing this FF version is like having Tekken with a hint of RPG style, strategies, and easy-to-follow fighting styles. Though moves are somehow limited.
Sounds: The set background musics fits the game. Sound effects ar
e also remarkable except the repetitive dialogues of the characters during fight scenes.
Graphics: The graphics on cut scenes are more like those of the FF movies which seem to be realistic 3D animations, while graphics on other parts of the game are just similar from other 3D PSP games.
Overall: This is a great PSP game for FF's 20th anniversary. Though a little different from its predecessors, fans will more likely to be hooked on this game. And since it has a hint of being a strategy game, this game requires patience specially as the story goes farther.
