Did you know: Dissidia: Final Fantasy was originally for the PS2

This is definitely interesting. Did you know that Dissidia: Final Fantasy was originally intended to be developed for the PlayStation 2 and not the PSP? Why the change in platforms?

According to Gamekyo, Tetsuya Nomura has revealed that the PSP simply offered more options in order for them to integrate more into the game. For example, if it weren't done on the PSP, the trading system or the duels via wi-fi wouldn't have been possible in-game.

Another interesting trivia: Dissidia was originally supposed to be named as "Shade Theory: Fina Fantasy."

"Dissidia was originally supposed to be named as 'Shade Theory: Fina Fantasy.'

Or did they plan on droping the letter L in final

# it shouldve been — StingBlah 2009-06-27 01:58

with its graphical power and online capabilities this game would've been perfect for the ps3! and i want epic battles in HD on my LCD big screen!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

# hmm — hush404 2009-06-27 02:34

I've purposely not been following dissida for a while, whens it come out again?

# ???? — zackfair_13 2009-06-27 02:35

who cares about what you want. its square's decision. they have also already thought of that probability. and guess what? they still wanted it for the PSP.

I think you also should note that Dissida was originally a Kingdom Hearts fighting game. But having Aladdin vs Hercules would've been a problem.

Nomura explains this in the lastest Ultimania for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days:

Tomorrow is your lucky day... except for the fact that it's being released on August 25th.

"But having Aladdin vs Hercules would've been a problem."

And pitting Liu kang against Superman is just as logical...

# who cares?!?! — squall_83 2009-06-27 21:12

Who cares what they want?!?! Are you f*cking kidding me?!?! We are the consumers here. If it weren't for us SquareEnix wouldn't even exist. It's ALL about what WE want!!! Or at least it should be.
