Square Enix party: more confirmation about a new game

I'm intrigued enough by Dissidia and hopefully we can see some screens / videos over the party.

Final Fantasy IV DS = fantastic if it's in the same vein as the FF3 remake. Would very much look forward to that.
 
Do Japanese call fighting games, or a kana'ed version of "fighting game"? All the descriptions of Dissidia seem to not explicitly call it a "fighting game". I get the feeling this game will be the similar to the coliseum missions in KH.
 
it's a fanservice fighting game? :lol well, that won't be such a bad thing if it's anywhere near the quality of square's ps1 fighting games. but i don't think that's very likely. wake me up when they do an einhanderesque fanservice shmup -- it could star shiva in an airplane transformation or something.

対戦型

The Japanese wiki lists games like Virtua Fighter, Soul Caliber, etc for that genre.

Edit: Scratch that, I missed the "hand-to-hand" part of the article title. 対戦型 just refers to a battle game of some sort.

Wow. That would probably be the most awesome thing ever.
 
FF beat'em up ?! Sounds pretty cool. And desperate.

Either it is a deep challenging fighter or a non-serious brawler.

In both cases it will fail due to the horrid d-pad of the psp. (analog controlling is the way to go)



Anyhoo the interest rate for this title dropped.

If they want true fanservice it would have every female from the main cast in all the Final Fantasy Games.

Shiva will be one of the stages you fight in. Believe :)

Fixed :)
 
Has a lot of sales potential, this FF Dissidia. Look at Smash Bros. and Jump! But I'll wait and see with this, I have no faith in Square's ability to pull off a non-RPG

I don't see why they didn't make it a game encompassing all their franchises though
 
Final Fantasy IV is one of my favorite games ever, and the only FF game I ever beat (on SNES, PSone and GBA). If the remake is real, then I welcome it with open arms. :D

That blog got the initials wrong.
 
So I was right. Dissidia is sort of a throw away bone based on preliminary reports. At least they're trying something new.

This game needs its own thread, it was a bitch navigating through this thread :\

Saving that for the console version... or when they team up with Capcom for CvsSE.:)
 
Hmmm FF4 remake on DS? Eventually I may have to get one...

Dragona, I thought that the initials were wrong too. From what I've heard, DQ4-6 remakes to DS are all but announced and released.

This new game should be on console, not PSP IMO. I'd rather see what they can do on 360/PS3 with this.

We don't even know exactly what the game is yet, it could make alot of sense to be a PSP game.
 
A fighting game?!? Nomura redesigns?!? :lol

*puts games back on shelf*

NINTENDO DS AM SNUBBED TOTAL! :lol

And awesome @ FFIV, that and FFVI I never bought on the GBA because one was full of bugs and the other came out too late. Hope FFVIDS is in the works as well. :D

These games better have all the GBA content as well...

It's nice if it's DQ as well... I haven't played any outside of DQI-III/DQVII-VIII.

Seeing as they confirmed those FFIX characters i would figure they would include other FFIX chars at the same time, but who knows.

Probably what will happen is that i will hype the game to hell and back just because of the shock of seeing FFIX characters in there, knowing that Square is laughing with my money all the way to the bank when they give me Ehrgeiz 2.

/pessimism

I imagine the Garland in question is FF I Garland. They've got the heroes of FF I and IX, and the villain of FF IX, so it sort of makes sense that they also have the FF I villain. So there are only two FF IX characters revealed, and two (or maybe 5...) FF I characters.
 
When does Weekly Famitsu come out in Japan, Wednesday or Thursday? I'm guessing some of this will be in there if SE put it up on the web this early.

The leaks usually happen tonight (around 7-8PM Pacific). But I think the issues come out on Fridays officially.

My mistake than, I read people saying it was a fighting game or something. This thread is a bitch to go through if you havent followed it since last night.
 
I hope there are no new Wii games (though there probably will be), I want another set of DS games.

Famitsu having info is 50/50.

I mean Famitsu streets Friday and the show is Saturday. If they wanted to save announcements for their show, it won't be in tonights Famitsu.
 
haters... dissidia seems to be an interesting concept..

it could be the next SSB

seriously.. when SSB was first announced.. what was your initial reaction.. (probably.. wtf this will suck hardcore)

what is SSB now.. like.. the best selling fighting game ever made with a rabid fanbase.. (and great gameplay in my opinion... and im a Virtua Fighter nut myself..)

Excellent analogy. That gives me even more reason to dislike Dissidia.

Same as my reaction now: this is pretty stupid franchise milking.

Well, they're rabid, at least.

And who cares how it sells? I mean, really, I was excited by the idea of Square Enix doing a new, original RPG or action RPG or even action game on the PSP, but a fighter? Come on...
 
You do know Ehrgeiz was developed by Dream Factory, part of Namco right? If you're afraid this PSP game will play like it, don't. Because it won't.
