No better way to start the day than with some news item on Dissidia! If yesterday, we had scans, today, we get a video!

Square Enix's official website for the game was updated with a walkthrough video of how Story Mode works. It's mostly in Japanese, but we already know what's going on here: the video demonstrates how the chessboard (aka Dissidia's own reincarnation of the Sphere Grid or License Board) works - something we've already covered here.

If you're too busy to read that previous article, the basics are these:

• each character gets his/her own chessboard field
  
• your goal: get to the other end and fight the boss
• Destiny Points (DPs) are your standard mode of travel around the board (just like AP or LP in FFX and FFXII)
• enemies and items are found randomly on the grid - accessing these need only that you're adjacent to their square
• the big red X mark on the grid means you have a requirement to fulfill (say, clear all enemies or something) before it gets unblocked
  

You can check out the video via the source link, or if you don't mind a video with slightly less quality, this YouTube embed would do:
