How Dissidia NT Completely Misses the Point

how did it come to this

100% agree. Dissididia No Thanks was a huge disappointment. It did make me dust of my psp though to replay the old one :].

Thanks for the review, hatok. After watching yours and many other reviews I've personally decided to just not buy this game at full price because some of the downgrades really makes paying it at $60.00 not worth it. And I've decided to wait until a price drop or a sale for it to match the little content it has as well as some of the gameplay mechanics. I've really enjoyed the first two Dissidia games and seeing how this new game it a step back from the PSP title disappoints me.

if you wait you'll be able to get the game and the season pass for half that, yeah

 

though I bet the multiplayer will be dead by then

Yeah that's why I'm going to wait for a sale on it or something. It's not worth full price the way it is.

The 3 vs 3 idea was a huge red flag for me,I was wondering how it could work with the Dissidia gameplay and apparently...it doesn't. And then I saw the roaster and I kinda lost interest,how can a console Dissidia game have a smaller roaster then the PSP game,FF has such a rich pool of characters to choose from.

 

I don't have a PS4 so I wasn't going to pick it up anyway.

You could get Dissidia on mobile too.

I agree with a bunch of stuff in that video.

Dissidia and Duodecim both felt like games you needed skill with to play properly. NT feels like you just need to be cheap. I can't tell you how many times I'm in the middle of an attack and I either get hit from the side, or the game just feels the need to disrupt my attack. It's particularly egregious with Kain, as one of his attacks can just never get the last hit in.

I hate the summons in NT, because it just feels like when you call your summon, it does nothing, but when your opponent calls theirs, it destroys your team and makes winning all the more difficult.

I also hate the rewards system in NT, just because of how unrewarding it is. I've only gotten three alternate skins out of the ten or so treasures I've found, and they're all recolors. And the rate at which you earn gil is too darn slow.

I'm honestly surprised the game lasted as long as it did overseas, because it's a broken mess that really destroys the foundations built by the PSP games.

What about Dissidia Opera Omina?

What about Dissidia Opera Omina?

I just started playing it, but I feel it's better than NT so far.

how did it come to this

This pretty much sums up why I despise this game so much

 

I was geniunely excited for it up until I tried the beta which was the very first sign that square would firetruck it up

 

Oh and to elaborate on the asinine story mode further.Even if you decide to look up the cutscenes on youtube the story is utter trash with no simplence of cohesive flow or even a solid narrative

 

There is this shit about a random dragon which at first I thought was Shinryu as the first two Dissidias were building up to his encounter which builds to a very anti-climactic fight that doesn't even come close to the battle with Chaos in the original or even the superboss battle with Feral Chaos in 012

 

Dissida was the one branch of final fantasy I hoped Square Enix could never tarnish....but they somehow found a way.

 

I'm so fed up with Square Enix at this point

I personally enjoy the game. I've played the previous titles and while I do miss some of the concepts and mechanics from previous titles, but I knew that NT was just a console port of the Arcade game that has been in Japanese Arcades for 3 years. I think that's the problem though. While Dissidia succeeded quite well in Japan in Arcades, its console port is has failed to impress the Western audience. I have a lot of fun with it, but I can see where people are having a hard time accepting it in the Dissidia franchise.

Yeah well, like everything, there's pros and cons to any given thing, and Dissidia NT seems to have a lot of these pros and cons going for it! I would personally love to have the game, since I am avid fan of Dissidia and played the previous two on PSP, but with what I've been told about the game having next to almost no content whatsoever, it really discourages me from shelling out 60 bucks for it, ya know? Now, if Square releases a complete version of the game with all the DLC that the game would have available, I'd then buy it, since it'd have everything, ya know?
