Cloud & Sephiroth Dissidia Blowout

(Posted: 19/11/2008) by Ronin90

Last week the first in-game images were released of Cloud and Sephiroth together, but they were quite small and didn't really show much. Now the images are much better and showcase a lot of different things, including where they drew their influences from.



While it was already disclosed, there are now screenshots of Cloud using Ultima Weapon and performing Meteorain. Sephiroth is also using his Super Nova limit break in the screens.

Dissidia's Missing Characters: Spinoffs

(Posted: 17/11/2008) by Ronin90

While probably not as potent as last week's list, there are still some big hitters that have appeared in Final Fantasy Spinoffs who many may feel they would like to see in Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

Unlike last week though, this list will only contain 5 characters, as well, there just haven't been as many original characters in spinoffs as there have been in the main Final Fantasy series.

As these characters don't appear in the main iterations of the Final Fantasy franchise, their inclusion would definitely have to be as bonus material, as they wouldn't be able to replace anyone from the other games.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the list; hit the jump to view it!

Awesome Dissidia Poster: Good Vs Evil

(Posted: 17/11/2008) by Ronin90

Normally it would take something more substantial to warrant a news post, but this image is what we feel all those Dissidia fans out there have been craving for quite a while; a complete scan with all of the characters in squaring off against each other.



This gem appeared in the recent edition of V Jump Magazine and with the game being released in under a month in Japan, it seems as though hype in the East is getting quite high. Hopefully we'll get release dates for both North America and Europe soon enough.

Cloud Message A Complete False Alarm

(Posted: 17/11/2008) by Ronin90

Last month, there was a picture of Cloud in a magazine with the words 'Coming Soon' underneath his name. Of course, being the wishful thinkers that we are, many thought this signalled one of three things.

1) We could be seeing the announcement of a Final Fantasy VII Remake quite soon.
2) We could be seeing the announcement of the next volume of Cloud DVD
3) We could be seeing the announcement of a new Final Fantasy VII Compilation game.

Well, it turns out it's none of these, as Cloud's Message is actually a new book, yes book. The book is actually going to be called Cloud Message and it will be released on the 10th of December this year. Should you wish to import it, the price is going to be ¥1,575.

Dissidia Will "Last A Lifetime"

(Posted: 15/11/2008) by Ronin90

In a recent interview with the Dissidia: Final Fantasy team, they divulged some information about the game's story and how it will come together. However, the most interesting nugget came when they were asked about the game's lifespan.

Apparently the game is designed in such a way that each story mode can be played multiple times, with new unlockables and options available to the player each time they play through. This in their eyes means that the game could effectively last a player their "entire lifetime".

While we are quite confident that most people probably wouldn't want to play Dissidia for that long, who're we to refute their claims? After all, every single character will have a unique story, which will be intertwined with the other characters in the game. Yes, that means there are effectively 20 different re-inactions of the story and if you want to understand the entire plot, you'll have to play them all.
