Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy (pronounced “Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy”) serves as both a prequel and an enhanced remake of the original Dissidia Final Fantasy. Developed by Square Enix, this fighting game expands on its predecessor by introducing new characters, improved mechanics, and a richer storyline, making it a must-play for fans of the series.
Gameplay:
Building on the foundation of the original, Dissidia 012 retains the exciting one-on-one battles in 3D arenas. Players can engage in combat using two types of attacks: Bravery Attacks, which steal Bravery points from opponents, and HP Attacks, which deal damage based on the accumulated Bravery. The introduction of the Assist System allows players to call in allies during fights, adding a layer of strategy to the already dynamic gameplay. This innovative mechanic keeps battles fresh and encourages players to adapt their tactics based on their chosen character and assist.
Story:
The narrative unfolds in the twelfth cycle of the eternal conflict between the gods Cosmos and Chaos. Warriors from various Final Fantasy worlds are summoned to participate in this ongoing battle within a mirror dimension known as “World B.” Dissidia 012 not only retells the events of the original game but also provides new side stories that enrich the lore and character motivations, offering fans a deeper understanding of the Final Fantasy universe.
Characters:
With a roster expanded to 31 characters, Dissidia 012 includes all fighters from the original game and introduces nine new faces, such as:
- Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)
- Vaan (Final Fantasy XII)
- Laguna Loire (Final Fantasy VIII)
- Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
- Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV)
- Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII)
- Prishe (Final Fantasy XI)
- Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy V)
- Feral Chaos (original character)
This diverse roster allows players to explore different playstyles and strategies, appealing to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy received critical acclaim for its enhancements over the original, with particular praise for the expanded character roster, new gameplay mechanics, and compelling story elements. Many consider it one of the best games available on the PSP, solidifying its place in the Final Fantasy legacy.
Multiplayer:
Similar to its predecessor, Dissidia 012 offers multiplayer gameplay through Ad Hoc mode, enabling players to challenge each other locally. This feature adds significant replay value, as players can pit their skills against friends or test out different characters in competitive matches.
Rating: 9.5/10
