    The all-star fighter returns via the arcade for a deep, characterful game that struggles to endear itself to fans and newcomers alike.

    The thing is, what Dissidia NT does do well is hamstring itself from actually being good. A good fighting mechanic can only carry a game so far, outfitting the game with so little in the way of modes to actually experience is bad enough, but to then completely lock away a staple mode of fighting games to force people to repeat play stagnant modes is practically unforgivable, especially for a story based franchise like Final Fantasy.

    It’s still a really exciting, interesting and different fighter. That last bit is crucial – despite similarities to the Gundam games, there’s nothing else quite like Dissidia on the market, and some will certainly find themselves hooked on its unique, hectic type of battle.

    Dissidia only in its name. This have nothing that the original Dissidia games had. It just uses the well established name and throw in a 3v3Dissidia only in its name. This have nothing that the original Dissidia games had. It just uses the well established name and throw in a 3v3 moba fighter game. There are no RPG elements, no story, no dungeon, no sense of progress, no single player content at all. This game is not meant for single player. A complete disappointment for original Dissidia fans.… Full Review »

    I loved the first two games so much I purchased this game blindly not knowing what to expect. The graphics looked amazing and the game playI loved the first two games so much I purchased this game blindly not knowing what to expect. The graphics looked amazing and the game play videos also looked amazing. Despite great looks the game feels really hollow in comparison to it's prequels.

    Combat System
    The first thing to point out is the forced 3v3. Now some parts of the game do have 1v1 but it's limited to training and custom online matches. The 3v3 feels a bit overwhelming and clunky the dashes are slow giving the feeling of constant floating. When fighting against AI players it feels like you're playing a game of slow float tag. Although the dashing feels slow the fighting feels very refined in comparison with the PSP versions. A simple fix would be to make the dash faster. It's also worth noting that HP attacks are limited to one and are no longer able to be customized.

    Graphics
    The game is visually stunning. In my personal opinion the game models are flawless.

    Customization
    This section is for people who are expecting the customization's that were previously in other FF Dissidia. FF Dissidia NT doesn't have much in the way of customization like the other two Dissidias leveling doesn't enhance your stats only unlocks skills and magics. Accessories, weapons and armor no longer provide any customization's for your fave characters stats. Instead Armor and Weapons are just cosmetics.

    Story
    Story is pretty bland and can be completed in roughly 15/20 hours in gauntlet/online matches leaving you with only fighting and unlocking outfits + weapons.

    Music
    Amazing. The tracks in all 3 Dissidias are amazing.

    Conclusion
    If you're trying to get the same experience as the PSP versions of FF Dissidia than this game is not for you. The RPG element has been changed where things such as levels doesn't matter in the overall strength of your characters. The combat system is fun and engaging although dashing could use an upgrade. If you were a fan of the customization found in prior games it is worth noting that the customization's are mostly cosmetic which will leave dedicated players learning for more. I give this game a 4/10 because although the combat system is improved it feels like a step down from the PSP versions.    … Full Review »

    This Game fails to deliver in anything but stunning visuals and music. The games new 3v3 is messy and gets rid of the depth and customizationThis Game fails to deliver in anything but stunning visuals and music. The games new 3v3 is messy and gets rid of the depth and customization unlike the previous 2. Online is somewhat enjoyable when it actually chooses to work and not desync, which happens way too often. The game forces you to do arcade and story mode exclusively with AI partners which leads to you having to grind up the character AI just to get them to actually attack which you will feel heavily in boss fights. The game does not feel tight at all which will lead to a lot of inputs getting eaten unlike the previous 2.
    If you got this game because of you enjoyed the previous two do NOT get this game, however if you like Gundam vs you may find this game a little bit more enjoyable.    … Full Review »
