Dissidia's ridiculously epic intro movie

by Andrew Yoon { Dec 21st 2008 at 10:00PM }

Dissidia has graced Japan and it won't be long until the rest of the world will be able to join in. As expected, the CG intro to the Final Fantasy mash-up is epic -- perhaps more so than we could have possibly imagined. Watch all the heroes and villains battle in one super-battle will make any fanboy or girl squeal. Fanfic writers, this is the stuff of legends.

Check it out, after the break.

im thinking if i should import or wait, because this game is goty for psp

mer2329 @ Dec 22nd 2008 6:10AM

this game is pure win
you should import it
the controls will be confusing at first but dont get discouraged
the NA localization WILL take 6-9 months (from what ive heard)

Jtenma @ Dec 22nd 2008 8:14AM

This video fails for one reason...

Cloud doesn't get nearly enough screen time to show off his badass moves.

I am dissapointed.

brettjr @ Dec 21st 2008 10:55PM

I imported today! I can't wait for this.

higeki @ Dec 22nd 2008 10:05AM

I already have it. All hype.

Dante @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:31PM

are you saying this game is not good, higeki?

Siva @ Dec 21st 2008 10:50PM

This game is more than just epic.

slycooper_rocker (lorddshadow the amazing) [anti-panda death squadron force five] @ Dec 21st 2008 10:51PM

squall vs. sephiroth?! that was epic!

Tim Parsons @ Dec 21st 2008 11:07PM

alot of those characters just don't look right to me,. i'll wait i wanna be able to understand everything

cammerv8 @ Dec 21st 2008 11:25PM

i imported it saw the intro and started crying...
i don't know any Japanese so i didn't understand the game play except for the battle part so i took it out and put it in its box and just use it as a collectible

Daniel @ Dec 21st 2008 11:28PM

@saito
Well, I'd prefer importing, but thats cause I prefer Japanese dubs, but don't forget it's coming to America in a bit.

TM @ Dec 21st 2008 11:35PM

epic. period.

mr.electic @ Dec 21st 2008 11:37PM

you said it. watching it.. it makes any fan scream! XD

mr.electic @ Dec 21st 2008 11:36PM

I say wait for it. I got the Japanese version, and although i don't understand WTH they're saying, it makes up for it with its immense deep gameplay.

I'll just play 1-on-1 with my brother for 6 months till Dissidia English comes out. I wanna hear Gabranth's british voice again!

Gurbinder @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:16AM

I'll paitently wait for the english version yo.

Gurbinder @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:16AM

damn my typos. Patiently*

wocyob @ Dec 22nd 2008 2:56AM

i with you... even tho im dying to play it now... just like white knight..... ill wait

cafecito @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:20AM

Looks effing great. Watching this, the wait for an english version just turned a bit more painful :(

Adrian @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:27AM

Annihilatorg @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:40AM

That, was the single most EPIC thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

Em @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:55AM

This video proves why FFVI needs to be remade on the PSP.

Mid 2009 cannot come soon enough.

e1even25 @ Dec 22nd 2008 1:41AM

Fantastic!

sure wish i could download it to my psp... (wink wink)

Don @ Dec 23rd 2008 2:40AM

You can....

http://www.gametrailers.com/download/43917/t_dissidiaff_jp_opening_cm_gt_v3.mp4

I don't know if you can direct download from your PSP, but it should play after being transferred via PSP.

Impulse @ Dec 22nd 2008 2:29AM

HOLY SHIAT!
that's gotta be one of the most beautiful looking battles that i've seen since the battle between Sephiroth, Angeal and Genises in Crisis Core.

dayum, this looks so amazing, they weren't lieing when they said that the visuals would be better than CC's.

ahahaha, once i buy this when it gets released, I'm right away gonna be playing as squall and challenging sephiroth over there. If free battles is an option.

But omfg!! That was so flipping epic.

flameofdoom666 @ Dec 22nd 2008 3:05AM

The video was CGI.... that is not what the game play looks like.

Impulse @ Dec 22nd 2008 3:10AM

Thanks for the heads up captain obvious.
Of course i know that video was just the CGI. But im just impressed by how amazing the visuals of the videos are. The game play itself looks quite stunning though as well. And now that you mention it, it does in a sense look like CC in ways. But if you look closely, Dissidia looks sharper than CC. But maybe It's because I'm looking at the visuals of cc on my psp phat. Sameways though

Blazingluke @ Dec 22nd 2008 5:10AM

I played it for 14 hours this weekend! It's a lot of fun, I'm really looking looking forward to buying it when it comes out next year.

Some fights can be a little aggravating, but it does do a pretty good job of easing you into the hard stuff. The music in each stage is remixed from the games and it is awesome. The character models are awesome. The animation is awesome. The gameplay is awesome. Everything is awesome!

Haohmaru @ Dec 22nd 2008 8:35AM

I'm still disappointed that FF12 was relegated to a minor cameo role while every other game in the main series was given both a hero and a villain. It's almost as if Square Enix is saying that FF12 is somehow less deserving. I hope that's not the case because I enjoyed it a lot more than FFX.

Daniel @ Dec 22nd 2008 9:57AM

Don't be sad that FFXII didn't get a bigger role, Star Wars has plenty of other games based on it.

Haohmaru @ Dec 22nd 2008 12:21PM

Now, now. Tell the truth: you didn't even play it, did you?

:P

blogger X @ Dec 22nd 2008 8:54AM

This is the stuff dreams are made of FTW!!!

Kinsey @ Dec 22nd 2008 10:46AM

OMG THAT SO WASTED LONG ENOUGH lol

That shit almost had me in tears.

Saigon @ Dec 22nd 2008 11:12AM

Haha, me too. I think I shedded a tear. There are so many beautifull moments in that intro, it's not even funny.

Kinsey @ Dec 22nd 2008 9:36PM

I meant 'wasn't long enough'. my typing blows.

higeki @ Dec 22nd 2008 10:05AM

I am so sick of that movie. They loop it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again at all my local game shops. Geo and Mandai Shoten are the worst.

Darlaten @ Dec 22nd 2008 11:33AM

Great video. I'm going to wait to purchase the North American release so that SquareEnix knows that there are people who will buy their ports here. Hopefully they will keep them coming.

Christopher @ Dec 22nd 2008 11:38AM

Awesome into. It still was weird seeing all those characters in the same space. :P

Leila @ Jan 11th 2009 6:07AM

Very true, but you can't deny the epicness of it xD
Kingdom Hearts already somewhat got us used to seeing FF characters in one scene together, almost like preluding to Dissidia, which totally blows everything out of the water, hehe. 8D

Vincent @ Dec 22nd 2008 1:20PM

The gameplay is fun, and the game is very well-done, but there's too much text (even worse, lots of kanjis). I'll just mess around on Versus with my rl friend until the English version comes out.

CJLopez @ Dec 22nd 2008 2:11PM

Man, my whole body is chilling after seeing that video

Shame they put terra as nothing more than a boresome to Chronnos and Cloud, still 'll be picking her the most!!!!!

WhiteShield @ Dec 22nd 2008 3:50PM

GAAH! i couldn't help but think, OMG this game is going to be amazing (and it apparently already is lol). cannot wait until this comes to the states!

Travis D. @ Dec 22nd 2008 7:25PM

Cloud gets owned in the beginning of the battle. Tossed to the side like a rag doll.

Miguel @ Dec 23rd 2008 2:11PM

I cannot wait until this comes to the states!

Cloud @ Dec 25th 2008 2:29AM

EPIC yes very I can't wait tell this game comes to the US man it's going to be awesome to play. Plus story is gonna be killer, it's like the questions that we've asked is being answered who would win in a fight between the good guys and bad guys.

again can't wait.
