Final Fantasy

The first Dissidia Final Fantasy was released for the PSP in 2008. Back then, the concept of bringing together some of our favorite Final Fantasy characters was an exciting, and unheard of concept. Nowadays, we’ve got World of Final Fantasy, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Record Keeper, and a bunch more games that borrow characters from across the Final Fantasy spectrum. But the very first game that did this was Dissidia Final Fantasy.

It blended the gameplay of a fighting game with an RPG to create a unique battle system where you had to build up bravery points in order to unleash a deadly HP attack to cut away at your opponent’s life bar. It wasn’t just the battle system that borrowed from the RPG genre, other aspects of the game also used elements RPG elements, such as character progression. As you continue to play with a character, they will level up, grow stronger, and learn new abilities.

Square Enix definitely didn’t hold back on the story for this spinoff either. It has a lengthy scenario set in a brand new world where the heroes and villains are forced to fight by the will of the gods, Cosmos and Chaos. All 10 protagonists from the first 10 Final Fantasy games had their own sub-plots interwoven, and their own goals and motivations.

All-in-all, Dissidia Final Fantasy was a great celebration of the Final Fantasy series – but it was more than just that. It was a unique take on the fighting game genre that spun off into its own sub-series that has carried on to this day.
