So I'm playing Dissidia hard now for a review that I hope I'll get up tomorrow. It's a really, really good game. I was a big fan of the PSP titles (a suuuuuuper big fan of them), and I actually spent a lot of money playing this game in the arcades in Japan a few years ago. I'm going to spend a lot of time with this on PS4 as well, I suspect. It might be the first online-orientated game that I'm truly hooked on. But. What is with the cast??!!?!?! Seriously, how did Square Enix and Koei Tecmo manage to miss almost every single favourite character of mine from the entire franchise? There's no: - Rikku
- Vanille
- Serah
- Rem
- Selphie
- Rinoa
- Yuna
- Iris
- Celes
- Chocobo (*The* Chocobo, not *a* chocobo)
This is the first fighting game I've ever played where the cast comes as close to ruining a game as possible without actually ruining it.
And yes, I know there's DLC with a season pass promising six more characters. But given the DLC for the Japanese version involved the likes of Jecht (who actually wanted him?) I'm not holding my breath that any of my favourites will get a nod.
But anyway, that's my bellaching done. It really is a good game, I promise. Anyone else getting it?

I won't be able to play it* but the cast is missing so many good characters and has some weird choices. And Jecht?! REALLY?! Finally I can play as an emotionally abusive dad. Wa-ho.
What about Vivi? Fang? Fran? Tifa? Yuffie?
*no PS4 and not planning on buying one ever

Fang? Fran? Tifa? Yuffie? *no PS4 and not planning on buying one ever Yep, none of those characters either. In basic principle, the developers took the main character and main villain from each of the main games - so you end up with characters that no one likes, like Vaan, and a bunch of villains that don't hold a candle to Kefka but are there for arbitrary reasons. And then "extra" characters from supplemental series' that just make no sense. Like Ace from Type-0? He wasn't even the main character. And then weird extra characters that have no logic behind them, like Jecht. Game is really, really good. Cast is dismal.

And here's my review - it's a long one. Apologies for the need to have a coffee while you read it. I just had a lot to say <_< www.digitallydownloaded.net/2018/01/review-dissidia-final-fantasy-nt-sony.htmlAnd yeah, I really love the game overall. Most of the criticisms of it come from first/early impressions. It's just the kind of game that takes a while to get to know. I'm still not a fan of the cast though
