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.
Gameplay
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 X; 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. The equipment each wields is also fully customizable.
Key Features:
- Legacy - Experience the high-quality world and gameplay mechanics of Final Fantasy presented in an action-packed environment where players can glide through the air and dash along walls.
- All-new battle system - Action-based battle system combines all-out brawling alongside RPG-based character development in an original system developed by the creators of the Kingdom Hearts series.
- Ultimate cast of characters - Fan-favorite heroes and villains from the entire Final Fantasy series come together in one game for the first time in a remarkable new tale with fully-voiced CG movies and real-time events.
- Fantasy match - Players select their favorite Final Fantasy characters, sided with either Cosmos or Chaos, to set the stage for their fantasy match.
- Series Staple Battle Features - Accessible through "EX Burst", players can experience gameplay faithful to the originals through memorable battle features such as "Limit Break" and "Overdrive". In addition, longtime fans of the series can enjoy the ability to summon Aeons and options such as the "command battle" system.
- Community - Continue the experience by trading Friend Cards, creating items and sharing AI characters with other players and even engage in virtual AI battles made possible by the PSP system ad hoc mode.

Fun:
As a huge Final Fantasy fan this is a dream come true, taking characters from the early games right to FFX good and evil. Dissidia is so much more than a fighting game, you start the game buy choosing which day you want to earn double EXP on and also the game will decided another day which you earn more PP which can be used to unlock a vast amount of items and characters and bonus stuff. This game is a must for anyone who loves Final Fantasy.
The fighting is in a world of its own and battles can last from 5 seconds to 10 minutes, everything really is different from anything you have played before. You start with a prologue where you will learn different moves and some extras you can use within the battles. Once you have completed your training a vast amount of good characters will open up, each has his own story but all have the same objective and that is to acquire a crystal which will be used to defeat Chaos which is the big bad. Each character has his or her own fighting technique but the main buttons will be used for Jump, Attack and super attack which would be used to take out an opponent once you have broken their attacks. Whoever wins does not have to reduce their opponents HP down to 0 you can easily win the battle once you have taken a percent of their bravery down. The more you attack the higher your bravery and the lower your opponent and then once you see theirs break its time to go in for the kill. You also have a bar which builds up with each attack you make spreading something like shiny dust around the level which you can collect when passing through, there will also be a shiny bell which you can lock onto and will raise this bar quickly. Once filled your character can unleash their ultimate move which can finish off most enemies off in one hit.
Like other Final Fantasy games you can equip items to improve your character as s/he levels up, weapons and armor will improve attack and defense while equipping rings will improve HP and other extras. You can also collect and equip summons which will pop up during fights to help out, each summon has their own way of helping and once you collect enough you can choose which character owns which summons.
There really is a lot more to this then I can possibly put in one review, the fighting is really fun and you will find yourself flying through area's performing stunning moves, the most impressive fight I have seen is Cloud vs Sephiroth fighting in the North Cave. The graphics are stunning for a hand held machine and even past characters have come back to do the voice overs. Yes this does mean Tidus too.
When you have enough PP you can start to unlock all the evil character which will be the main characters opposite from the game, E.G. Tidus vs Jecht, Squall vs Ultimicia etc etc.
Each of the 5 levels are played on a board, each character has their own board and way of traveling through it. Every move will cost you points but can be gained if you complete certain fights; these will be displayed before you choose them and will be things like finish the battle without taking a hit! On your first play through I wouldn't worry about gaining the extra points and just level up as much as possible and collect all the chest you can, you will be scored at the end of each level and the points will gain your characters story level once you have completed that characters story.
The only bad thing about this game is you can be sailing through quite easy then you meet a character that can take you down within 10 seconds, it's all down to reading what the character is equipped with so you know just what to do with him.
There really is much more I can tell you but I will leave it there as I am confusing myself let alone anyone reading this. I will add that the music features music from every game of that character with some old remixed. Also you can unlock different looks for each character like Clouds uniform from Advent Children. This game can be played by anyone but a true Final Fantasy Fan will admire it so much more.

This game is awesome. The battle system takes a little getting used to intially but once you get to grips with it you are battling like the fight scenes in Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. This game is an absolute must have for Final Fantasy fans regardless of which title they prefer. The cutscenes are very good and the the fueds between the characters in the original games are carried over to this. Each hero persues their adversary from their orginal instalment and the stories are linked into Dissidia nicely. This is a game that all can appreciate, FF fans and non fans alike will enjoy hours of fun at their consoles with this game. Gamers can also enjoy extensive battles with one another using the ad hoc capability. I believe this game will provide a stepping stone for people who may have previously disliked the FF series to perhaps relinquish their sceptism of previous titles and give them a chance as cutscenes may not be entirely understood due to their relation to the their original titles. Hopefully this will also lead to them trying out future titles such as Final Fantasy XIII or whatever else SquareEnix have up their sleeves. The hardcore fans of the series have seen the battle system change so much since the very first Final Fantasy. Turn based battle systems have been so evolved over the last few titles that it is difficult for 'haters' of the games not to fall in love with them. The introduction of Crisis Core and now Dissidia have and will further more increase the fan base of the Final Fantasy series. Although personally I miss the turn based battles from VII through IX im glad to see more and more people being converted to the cause. SquareEnix (originally Squaresoft) have produced some truly legendary games over the decades and Dissidia Final Fantasy is great addition to this legacy.

Ok, i must admit, this was one of the games that tipped me towards getting a PSP (the others being Valkyria Chronicles II (Sony PSP), Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of The Lions (PSP) and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Platinum Edition (PSP)
I was really excited when i got this game, i actually ordered Dissidia 012 : Final Fantasy (PSP) together with this game, with the idea of playing this one first then Dissidia 012.
Well...I guess i shouldnt have assumed that just because this is a FF game that i would enjoy it. I am such a fan that i bought it, even though I AM NOT PARTICULARLY FOND OF FIGHTING GAMES. I know, my fault right?
Why did I find it so bad even though I tried so hard to enjoy it? I will try to keep it simple:
1. Game-play - i think for a fighting game it is pretty straight forward... you have a bravery attack which basically if it connects to the opponent takes away their 'bravery'or power, while adding to yours. If you attack with high bravery then you deal more damage. You also collect a crystal that appears randomly during the battle which you can use to fill a limit gauge. Once full you can execute a powerful attack. You can zip around the arena, jump, smash obstacles etc for a more interactive stage feel (although it isn't much). There are just too many opponents to fight, as each character has to move through a chessboard area where you have to fight about 5 (sometimes more) enemies a stage, and there are 5 stages per character. It gets very repetitious and boring.
2. Story - this was where it really lost me. I remember playing Tekken 3 and trying to get each character's ending and having lots of fun, and persevering through difficult bosses to get to that last scene. Not so here. The dialogue is so bland and uninteresting, and the characters so dull and out of place, that i find it hard to care. Some people praise the story...I think its just a cobbled together piece of rubbish constructed for the sole purpose of making FF characters fight each other. It was lame.
3. Graphics - in game graphics are good (usual FF fare) no FMV cut-scenes for a character ending though (i haven't finished the game, but knowing SQEnix they probably have an ending FMV at least). The colours were good on the characters, but the stages were very bland and boring. After seeing the same grey stage over and over for most battles was a bit off putting.
I am writing this review to just warn other (non fighting game) FF fans that just because it is Final Fantasy doesn't necessarily mean it has a massive immersive story line or necessarily gameplay that you would enjoy. Maybe for a fighting game this is fine, just don't go in expecting too much just because of the name :p
