Story
Players, prepare to profess your allegiance to either Cosmos or Chaos...Cosmos is the goddess of harmony, while Chaos is the god of discord. Reigning from distant realms, the two gods had gathered warriors from all lands to lead them in savage war. At one time Cosmos and Chaos were of equal in strength. It was believed that their conflict would last forever. However, the balance is now broken. Those who answered Chaos' call created an inexhaustible force. And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos' favor...The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. As for the few surviving warriors… their fates have yet to be determined.

Featuring action very similar to other games in the Final Fantasy series, Dissidia Final Fantasy consists of one-on-one combat either against a human or AI opponent where the goal is to reduces your opponent's hit points to zero. This is done through a series of attacks and battle features which must be balanced against the player's status and that of the opponent faced. In addition, the game also features "EX Mode" which increases the power of existing attacks. This mode can be activated in a variety of ways, both related to combat and chance. Characters
Dissidia Final Fantasy features characters from both sides of the struggle from each of the games in the Final Fantasy series. Although favorites will soon be found, the storyline of game's main campaign requires players to assume the role of each of these characters at one point or another in order to attain ultimate success. All told the game contains twenty-two total playable characters from Final Fantasy through Final Fantasy XII; evenly split between heroes and villains. In addition, players can also look forward to playing as a few secret characters unlockable in the game. Regardless of the character, players will find that each will become more powerful as they gain experience in battle, have access to different costumes and in most cases are able to transform into different physical forms in specific modes and wield fully customizable. See all 22 and their previous Final Fantasy appearances below: | Hero | Original Game | | Warrior of Light | Final Fantasy | | Firion | Final Fantasy II | | Onion Knight | Final Fantasy III | | Cecil Harvey | Final Fantasy IV | | Bartz Klauser | Final Fantasy V | | Terra Branford | Final Fantasy VI | | Cloud Strife | Final Fantasy VII | | Squall Leonhart | Final Fantasy VIII | | Zidane Tribal | Final Fantasy IX | | Tidus | Final Fantasy X | | Shantotto | Final Fantasy XI | | | Villain | Original Game | | Garland | Final Fantasy | | The Emperor | Final Fantasy II | | Cloud of Darkness | Final Fantasy III | | Golbez | Final Fantasy IV | | Exdeath | Final Fantasy V | | Kefka Palazzo | Final Fantasy VI | | Sephiroth | Final Fantasy VII | | Ultimecia | Final Fantasy VIII | | Kuja | Final Fantasy IX | | Jecht | Final Fantasy X | | Gabranth | Final Fantasy XII | |

 I'm hooked, can't stop playing. August 27, 2009

Ok, so this game is indeed one of the finer games on the PSP, and with the slew of unlockables, story, different arcade modes, and multi-player, it's a game that one could happily spend hours upon hours playing.
The battle system is a little odd, as it's not a typical fighter. More of a action game, with fighting and RPG elements tied all together very nicely. It takes a few minutes to understand how everything works together in battle, but once you get the hang of it, you just keep getting better and better, and the battles become more and more enjoyable.
The story mode, admittedly, is actually kind of weak, for a Final Fantasy title (at least, every Final Fantasy before IX had a good story). I enjoy the story, personally, but it's not full of surprises, or played out in the greatest fashion. It's decent, but it could have been so much better. That, and the voice acting for some characters is a bit sad. It's almost embarrassing to listen to sometimes. But there are quite a few characters whose American voice overs were done perfectly (Sephiroth and Kefka come to mind).
The customization of your characters is un-effing-believable. None of the equipment you use will change your character's appearance, but the amount of weapons, accessories, equipment, summons and abilities you can learn, gain, create and buy are very nearly endless. Especially with the multi-player items you get just from battling. In that same field, there's a calendar system in the game that will give you rewards based on what day you play. By unlocking more bonuses through the catalog in the game, you can make these days occur more often, and yield much greater rewards.
The multi-player is 50/50, in my opinion. Yes, it's very, very nice, it works really well, and the rewards can be unique, but it's only Ad-hoc. There's no online multi-player, which is really disappointing. While my cousin and I played, we experienced a bit of lag, but it was hardly noticeable at all. Very slight, and it didn't ruin the battle, or the experience. It's quite a bit of fun, so if you have or get this game, find someone else who does too. The ability to handicap the level so it's an even match makes it much nicer as well, so that you can fight someone brand new to the game, without them having to spend hours leveling up first.
Arcade mode was a unique addition to the American version, and while it's a lot of fun, it's straight forward, with pre-set characters. No customization here. So, it gets old pretty quickly. However, since you initially only have access to the heroes (you have to unlock the villains via the catalog), this is a good place to go to get some practice with all the characters, as all 20 of the main characters are available to play right off the bat in Arcade mode.
Unlockables in this game seem endless. When you unlock new characters or items, more appear to unlock. As you progress through the game, you get random items and rewards, and more items appear for you to unlock through the catalog. The museum allows you to see all sorts of Final Fantasy info on characters, and, once you unlock it, the replay editor is here, allowing you to go back over battles you've fought and saved the replay for, and allows you to edit them, save them to AVI, and import them to your computer.
Over all, this game is an amazing package, and the only things that really hold it back from perfection are a few poor choices, and poor voice acting. Now, I admit that I'm a Final Fantasy fan, and this game is definitely a present for all the die-hard fans of the series, but the way the game plays, anyone who's a fan of action, fighting or RPG genre of gaming can enjoy this game for months to come. I cannot recommend this game enough. It's worth every penny.
Overall: 9.5 out of 10
Positivies:
+Amazing cast of fan favorites
+Unbelievable customization
+Almost unending unlockables
+Fantastic battle system that just gets better as you play
+Really great Ad-hoc battles
+Easily able to sink 100+ hours into this game
+Accessable to almost any gamer
Negatives:
-No online multi-player
-Story is a bit weak, but playable
-Voice overs are, more often than not, disappointing
Masterpiece of Fighting August 26, 2009

Dissidia is blatant fan-service for the dedicated and faithful. But it is also blatant fun! Whether you are new to the Final Fantasy universe or a long time player, Dissidia has it for you! It takes an idea like Super Smash Brothers and widens it up. It isn't a 2D fighter but has 3D fully realized worlds for you to battle it out in! Players can stick to the ground and launch attacks at wide ranges, or fly to the skies to attack in furious mid-air frenzies! It is huge too! The game just keeps widening up as more and more features are unlocked!
Each character can be upgraded at will to the umpteenth level. All of the normal RPG stats are here: Attack, Defense, Luck and so on... but all the characters can learn new moves all throughout the adventure! Dissidia is amazing! Hours and hours of fun! I'd recommend it hands down!
The ultimate Final Fantasy experience November 30, 2009

I have owned this game since it came out, have played more than
100 hours already, and I must say, this game is H U G E,
believe it, ENORMOUS.
First the good things:
This is a Final Fantasy fan dream come true, the main characters
from the first 10 games vs the villains of the same games, and 2
bonus characters. That's 22 chars, and everyone plays different to
each other. From Cloud's crushing attacks to Kefka's trickery magic,
to Exdeath's counterstrike style to Zidane's aerial play you'll have
completely different experiences playing each character.
The presentation of the game is flawless, maybe the best graphics the
psp can show. The music is also gorgeous, with originals and
reinterpretations of classical final fantasy themes. The action is
silk smooth, there is no slowdown in single player, and some very
minor in multiplayer when the stage gets filled with debris, ex-force
sparks, and multiple magical effects, but it's very minor and doesn't
get in the way.
The play style is a lot of fun, at first you'll find it odd, and
your characters will lack movement, speed, and maneuvers, but later
with good leveled characters, the battles will start to look a lot
like advent children's battles, especially the last one (won't spoil
the movie to you). Battles can be truly spectacular, with both
characters running, flying, jumping, clashing swords, destructing
the scenery in the process with missing blows and/or by crashing
the opponent in the stage.
You also can endlessly customize your characters, the quantity of
equipment, accessories, summons is well into the hundreds, maybe thousands
of items.(However, the equipment doesn't change your characters look)
First you'll want just a better sword for your Warrior of Ligth,
then you'll want a Champion Belt accesory to deal 25% more damage,
later you'll want the Adamant Chains armor set, then you'll realize
that you can mix and match booster items for different effects in
different circumstances. Luckily you have 3 profiles per characters,
each with its own set of abilities, equipment, accesories and summons.
Also, the more you play, the more the game keeps giving. You get
rewards for playing in your special day, (that you preset at the
beginning), for playing several days straight, for accomplish several
small feats while playing ( ex: finish an opponent 30 times with Ex-Burst),
he, even get a reward for NOT playing several days. You get items, icons,
reward multipliers, etc.
Multiplayer is also a lot of fun, you create a card to represent you,
and exchange it thru wi-fi. When you get another player's card, you
can battle online ad-hoc in a lobby, and after that, you get a ghost
of the other player's character that you can battle in an offline lobby,
with the chance to get some of the ghost's equipment and accesories.
Also in multiplayer you can get some of the most powerful equipment in
online battles,equipment that you canno't get in any other place,
in the form of artifacts. This are pieces of equipment that you name,
and are travel from player to player, keeping tabs of the history of
the travels. Some of these artifacts are uber-powerful so if you want
the best for your characters you'll want to play online.
The game have several modes, story mode, quick battle, duel coliseum,
(where you figth for items), arcade mode where you play with preset
characters, musem with theater, where you can see your battle replays,
edit them, (change camera angles, skip sections, remove bars)
and export them to video files for showing off., voice and music players,
icon library (to attach to your friend card in multiplayer), profiles
of the characters, summons, extra details of the story, view the in-game
cinematics, etc.
You'll get a lot in this package, I cannot see how they fit all this stuff
in such a small package (the UMD is NOT full).
Now for the bad:
This game is awesome, but there are two main flaws that keep it from being
perfect.
First: The Story sucks, badly. The story is very simple, good vs bad, and
save the world. Very straightforward, no plot twists, no surprises, no
nothing. All the characters personalities reflect the one they had at
the beginning of their respective games, some are doubting, some scared,
some irresolute, and they show very little character development. Very
different of what you would expect from a Final Fantasy story. It get's
a little better when you get close to the end, but it never really takes
off. And oh-god, some of the dialog is c-h-e-e-s-y, with take me to the
other flaw.
The voice acting.
Characters that have previously spoken in other games keep their original
voices from the english dub, but some of the character get AWFUL voice
acting, terrible, truly terrible voice acting. There are some nice
exceptions, but in general the voice acting is abysmal. You get used to
it after a while, but an option to switch to japanese audio track would
have been greatly welcomed. (Note: I think that in a next version of the
game, there will be an option for japanese audio track, but I cannot confirm
this).
This flaws may sound drastic, but they don't demerit the great game that
Dissidia is, mainly because they both relate to the story mode, and this
game has far more than that, especially in multiplayer. It's a great game,
it's a lot of fun to play, and it will keep you hooked for a long time
with it's stream of reward. I have already poured more thatn a hundred hours
on it, and just when I thougth that I had almost everything the game keeps
surprising me with more. I have friends that have also bought it,and with all
multiplayer stuff, I think I can easily get some other 50 hours more of the
game.
If you like fighting games, rpg games or collecting games, get this one,
you'll be glad you did.
This is actually fun! August 26, 2009

I played the game for like 3 hours and this game is honestly fun and it's super fast paced.
The graphic is really good and watching/playing with FF characters is fun.
Btw there is a new version coming out in japan soon with extra stuff but english voices/text will be available so I'll import that too!
I recommend the game for FF fans, watching Terra from FF6 or cecil from FF4 in PSP graphic made me happy somehow (lol what can i say I'm a FF fan!).
Another great Final Fantasy new addition! September 15, 2009
Peter Cheng (San Gabriel, CA USA)
For any final fantasy fan with dreams of all final fantasy main characters all in one game, this is your dream come true! This is a great and new refreshing take on the command turn based traditional rpg. Great action, great unique moves, tons of items and customization. Everything you love about final fantasy and more! Cutscenes are beautiful and the voice acting are superb. This is a must own for any final fantasy fan boys and even for those of you that arn't a fan, but want a unique fighting game with characters you'll fall in love with and a big roster, this is worth every penny getting from Amazon! Have this in your collection of great PSP games! You won't regret the replay value of this game. Endless hours, weeks, months! This game is never ending!
