2. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT
All Dissidia Final Fantasy Games Ranked
The latest entry in the series, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, changes up the battle system that we’ve known from previous games. Although the fundamentals remain the same, the addition of 3-on-3 battles adds multiple layers of complication to a combat system that already took some time to grasp. Players are now required to think more strategically about their positioning and how to coordinate their moves with their teammates. While it can be a bit daunting at first, it’s a more in-depth and cooperative way to play Dissidia Final Fantasy, and can make the battles all the more intense. And when you really start to get to grips with NT, it becomes so satisfying and rewarding.
What really shines in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT above other entries in the series is its online play. The PSP was definitely lacking in its online capabilities, and there wasn’t really any great methods to play the PSP Dissidias online. In NT, just grab a subscription to PlayStation Plus and jump on Ranked mode to start taking on the competition. The roster of characters is so varied for a fighting game, and having an online mode where you can show off your skills is a great motivator to get you to really master the intricacies of the characters and battle system.
Unfortunately, however, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT features a kind of weird Story mode that doesn’t hold a candle to the PSP games. It’s just a series of cutscenes that are strung together with a few battles here and there. You are also forced to play other modes in order to progress in the story, which is a shame for people who just want to experience the game’s single-player campaign.
