Watch two minutes of Dissidia gameplay footage

We're mostly used to seeing an amalgamation of different cut scenes in our Dissidia: Final Fantasy trailers; however, this time we're treated to over two minutes of pure gameplay. The battle you'll be witnessing is between Final Fantasy III light and dark reps, Onion Kid and The Cloud of Darkness.

One thing this blogger particularly took notice of was the short pause for the Onion Kid during his break status; he does a class change and then has to choose an ability from a drop down menu. It's interesting to see that while the game is a fast and fluid fisticuff, the developers could still incorporate some of the traditional turn-based Final Fantasy elements into the game. Are you not grasping that thought fully? Well, you will once you see the trailer.

Awesome. Looks cool. I wonder though how that class change will work in ad hoc multiplayer? Will the wireless be fast enough for that? I suppose since it's G it might.

This, for me, will be game of the year. Can't wait to get it.

I think the onion knigh has twelve jobs, some of which, must be unocked.

I also think the fighting areas are great- plenty of places tohide, etc.

Can anyone tell me how the sound was? My speakers are broken =P

I was wondering how this game would actually play and if it would keep the spirit of the FF series. After watching that video, I can say "bravo". It looks fantastic and like a blast to play! Can't wait.

I was wondering the same thing, and I was actually expecting something more along the lines of Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. This is MUCH better though, it looks sooo frickin' epic when you pull off massive moves like that. I can't wait to play Tidus or Cloud, they'll be INSANE.

Any news of whether it'll make appearances in North America, or will we have to import?

I think it's the video quality. I'm not a big fan of GT

Keep in mind that it's a PSP game. Don't expect over the top graphics.

It seems to play a lot like a Dragon Ball game with the focus on aerial combat. Not sure how I feel about that. I'll have to see more from some of the other combatants I suppose.

If you watch the video carefully you will see the fighting isn't aerial. What keeps them in the air is the delay after each skill (or a hit into the air which is then chained with skills). When they stop the skill chain they automatically fall to the floor. There is a counter button sequence (I think) near the beginning (big X on the screen) which can probably happen on the floor as well it just so happened that he was in the air at the time but the combat is definitely not aerial based.

P.S. Ironically the combat actually looks faster on this then in DB Tenkaichi

I see the download to psp button. my psp is not recognizing this type of file. How do i get this downloaded to my psp to be able to play?

You'll still need to download it via your PC and using the PS downloader. Think of it as if you were downloading off the PC PS Store.

You need the PLAYSTATION Network Downloader. We're going to have more information on our expanded video download options later tonight. You'll be able to download from the site and from your PSP. Stay tuned!

I like where this is going. I'll be getting it even though i didn't play any of the FF games. Which is a good one to jump on to? The only one i've played is crisis core.
