Dissidia Final Fantasy is a good start, but there's lots more Japan-only arcade games that we'd love to see brought to the West.
Nintendo's beloved racing series has been around for more than three decades, but which are the best Mario Kart games?
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT offered plenty of fan service, but in other aspects it was incredibly superficial.
The things I liked the most in PSP Dissidia was the RPG elements, and even though the plot fell into the "Square trap" by being too convoluted, I really liked seeing those characters from different games interacting with each other. I didn't hate the battle system, but it was not my favorite aspect either.
Then, in Dissidia NT, they threw away everything I liked about the series, and focused on the battles. And they made it even more chaotic by making it 3 vs 3. Tried playing it in an arcade here in Japan and even tried the free PC version, but I really couldn't care about it.
I liked being able to customize our fighters with a variety of their iconic moves. The grind was awesome and the environments were so interactive. The music was great. Dissidia NT removed so much of what made dissidia, dissidia, and It just left long time fans of the series (who have been quite vocal about wanting a console iteration) massively disappointed.
They made it to arcade like and not enough customisation like the previous games but a part of me thinks the reason they stopped development is because they plan to create an NT 2 for PS5.
I know i'm the only one but i find those Dissidia unplayable. Maybe i'm too used to SF, Tekken and thos (i know they're different but we're talking about fighting games). Even the many DragonBall games were more enjoyable for me, the bad ones too :P
Today Square Enix announced the end of active development for its fighting game Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and its arcade counterpart Dissidia Final Fantasy.
I love Taiko no Tatsujin. Really hoping it comes to the West, but if it does, they need to also bring over a good quality drum so we can fully enjoy it.
Perhaps I'd be better off importing an arcade machine.
Aren't arcades dead in the West?
