I just can't wait for the inevitable port and localization. Dissidia Duodecim was like the perfect FF crossover, and this looks like it could be much better from what I've seen so far.

Kurisu3293d ago

I played the first Dissidia but didn't get around to Duodecim. It really is a fun game. Hopefully this new game can push the series to a new level :D

bouzebbal3293d ago (Edited 3293d ago )

The result is very impressive!
PS4 version cannot come soon enough.. i really hope it kicks around fall.
Very good interview, looking forward to part 2

@Kurisu:
The arcade architecture is build around PS4, so there is a big chance it ends up on PS4. Maybe a reveal at TGS

Kurisu3293d ago

It's exclusive to Japanese arcades for at least a year after it launches.

Kurisu3293d ago

I know a PS4 version is all but guaranteed, I was just saying that it's exclusive to arcades for a year before we'll see it on PS4 as you said you hope it will release this year.

pompombrum3293d ago

Is it confirmed exclusive to arcades for a year? Sounds like a weird deal but I guess the arcade scene in Japan is pretty big.

gokuking3293d ago

"At the time, we were thinking [the next Dissidia] would be a sequel to a PSP game, so it should go on the PS Vita. It was at that time that Taito, a subsidiary of our corporate group [Square Enix], reached out to us and suggested doing a Final Fantasy arcade game. So we figured, well, let’s hear them out—and that was how things got started."

Ugh, thanks Sony, Square Enix, Taito and Team Ninja. I really didn't want a new Dissidia on Vita. /sarcasm

SidebarTalk3293d ago

I know, right? It's so crazy how games are always only released for a single platform and never, ever get ported to another system. Ever.

gokuking3293d ago

This Dissdia won't be released on Vita, and I doubt any other will.

gokuking3293d ago

As an aside, the article claims the interview was with Dengeki. The Famitsu link you attached would be unrelated.

hkgamer3293d ago

a vita dissidia would have been great, but tbh if i had a choice between a vita version or a possible chance for a ps4 version i definitely will go for the ps4.

DonkeyDoner3293d ago

I can already picture him in a remake FF7
oh god my heart can take it
JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN SE AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!

Kurisu3293d ago

Wondered how long it would take for someone to bring up FFVII remake xD

Terry_B1133d ago

Bad List since Ridge Racers 2 is missing there.

I'm curious but is it possible to legally play these games without buying a psp?

luckytrouble1133d ago

You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.

WeAreLegion1133d ago

Some of them, yes. But most PSP games are locked to that system or digitally on Vita. The Vita's second analog stick is amazing for FPS games. I use an emulator to play many PSP games. I know that's illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. There's no way to give developers money for these games anymore. Unless you buy their new games. :)

Highly recommend Infected, if you get the chance.

Magic_Spatula1132d ago

Emulators aren't illegal. Unethical? Maybe. The issue companies have are how you obtained the games. If you got them through legal matters (such as making your own backups of games you own and not distributing them), they're mostly okay with that. If you got the through less..... ethical means, then yeah, it's a no-no in their eyes.

Fluke_Skywalker1132d ago

@Magic_Spatula Like he said, there is no legal way to buy most psp games anymore in a way that gives the developers any money. So yes emulators are normally illegal and unethical, but in this case its actually the only way to play some of these games, if you didn't buy the games many years ago.

Fluke_Skywalker1132d ago

Yeah they really need to give us a remake of that for PS4/5 I absolutely loved that game. Still the saddest ending to a video game ever.

SDuck1133d ago

The fact this has vanilla Dissidia instead of Duodecim tells me not to take the list serious. Duodecim is obviously the superior since it has the same content (story included) from the first game and (much) more

Magic_Spatula1132d ago

Yeah. Duodecim was basically an enhanced version of the original game.
