Ansonsten Eindrücke zum Spiel
While the story behind the title is still being closely held under wraps, the concept behind the game is rather easy to understand: the forces of Chaos and Cosmos (respectively, forces of evil and good) go up against each other, presumably in a final showdown. However, while the trailer didn't give away much of the story, we were shown a large number of villains and heroes that will take part in the game, including characters like Sephiroth, Kefka, Palamecia and Garland on the bad side, and Zidane, Squall, the Warrior of Light and Tidus on the good. Much of the trailer was a CG based showcase of characters facing off against each other interspersed with a few clips of fights, although it did highlight a map with a branching board game-style progression system. It appears as though players will have the chance to determine where they want to go and who they will want to fight in the game in the single player campaign, which does seem to feature both sides for you to play as. With the trailer being completed, we thought we'd actually grab a PSP and see how the game controlled.
Each character, regardless of their affiliation, will have two kinds of attacks. The first one is a weak attack (used by hitting the circle button) that doesn't do physical damage, but strips away an opponent's Brave Points. These points are a multi-purpose feature that are useful for numerous reasons. The first is that they protect your characters from being physically damaged damage is soaked up by any points you have before you start to lose health, extending the amount of time you can fight and injure your opponents. Another key point with Brave Points is that they are used to trigger a number of damaging strikes. Depending on the character you have, you can pull off a variety of strikes, including powerful homing blasts and melee attacks. Each character has their own unique attacks, so you'll find strikes from TIdus, for example, that will use a blitzball, while Garland will use a giant lance during his strikes.
However, you don't have to expect that you're trapped in a 2D fighting arena. Dissidia allows for complete freedom of movement for all characters. This means that you can literally run along walls and even perform multiple jumps and attacks to perpetually float in mid air. These acrobatic maneuvers provide completely new moves and attacks as well. Don't think that you're constantly trading blows, however. Players will be able to perform guards, dodges, counters and even breaks to interrupt attacks and perform strikes of their own. This means that while you can pick up the game and easily button mash your way to victory now and then, you'll need to master the timing of certain moves to truly be effective.
Players will also find that as they perform strikes and wear down their opponents, they'll build up what's known as an EX Gauge, or find items known as an EX core scattered around each environment. By collecting these objects and topping out the gauge, players can hit the R button and Square, transforming their character into a new kind of warrior. We were told that the Onion Knight will specifically change job classes to a hardier fighter, but every character has a transformational stage with this gauge. Of course, this bestows completely new abilities as well.
For all of this, you might think that this would simply be a remix of Ehrgeiz, the old Square fighting title. However, don't let the destructible environments or the large and mostly unannounced roster comprising many heroes and villains from every Final Fantasy fool you. There are some RPG elements to be found as well, as every battle that you participate in, win or lose, will earn you some experience points and other bonuses. While we weren't able to determine whether or not it would increase the power of your attacks, it did put a different twist on the gameplay. We also found out that there would be a multiplayer aspect to the game, but Square Enix was not currently ready to talk about those modes. However, we did find out that what you do in multiplayer, including any experience, will carry over to the single player experience and vice versa. It should be a fun title to check out when it's released in Japan in December, with an as yet unknown release date in North America.
