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.

Also: WTF did CoD pull on OK to knock him down that critically in the HP department?

Also, though unrelated: Whoo! FFT has hit Greatest Hits status! Time to put it on my list of things to [want to] buy.

Wow, classic menu design and use, CoD looking final-battle-ish, class changes (LOL, Red/red Ninja returns once again!), the sowrds featured in FFIII's iconic Amano image, and of course the classic victory fanfare (heh, if FFX-2 were in here, think it'd change to its riff-ish victory?).

What's this "Onion Kid" crud on aboot? *checks DFF site* It's so very freaking "Onion Knight".

At what point does it become easier to just develop an original game?

At this rate, we'll all be playing Madden Final Fantasy Football in a year or so.

No One buys original games anymore everyone wants sequals but when their made everyone hates them so companies make an original game but it doesnt sell and it becomes a waste of money so they make more crappy sequals that get 6.5 from GI but it sells so they make more crappy sequals and it goes on like this until an original game comes out that is actually good but then a year later they come out with the sequal that sells way more than the first but sucks

so are you saying that this is a crappy sequel to every final fantasy game? or are you saying its an original-ish game. i do agree with you about no one buying original games. i wanted to buy patapon and locoroco but i never did!
