Since our resident Dissidia expert Gino D. decided to stay home and have a few Piña Coladas, I get to write this week's Dissidia: Final Fantasy update from Famitsu
today! And boy, what an update.Reviewers rated the game 10, 9, 9, and 8, giving a grand total of 36/40, a point higher than what Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII got. They also revealed new details about the game in their reviews.
The game will take a solid 100 hours of gameplay to unlock everything. It takes 40 hours alone to complete the Story Mode. If you take your time with it, you'll probably make it last a lifetime.
Speaking of the story, reviewers praise it for being more than just a gathering of Final Fantasy characters. They don't elaborate much on that of course. We don't want them to spoil it for the rest of us silly saps who have to wait for the English translation.
The positive things reviewers had to say about the game is that controls are easy, and customization options are rich. Battle actions were also given praise. One reviewer loved how pursuit battles requires you to attack and defend at the same time, while another compared them to scenes from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.
Some reviewers had complaints though (awww). One of them said that it's hard to keep track of everything that's going on, and another says that there are too many special terms being used. Well, if you're familiar with the various universes of Final Fantasy, I don't think that'll be a problem at all.

My PSP has been collecting dust lately ever since I finished Crisis Core while my DS has gotten more attention from games like Tactics Advanced 2. Though both have been pretty much ignored because of Resistance 2 and Fallout 3, which I've been playing religoiusly (along with some MGO thrown in once in a while) and RE:Chain of Memories which I bought last Thursday (Thank god I kept my PS2, not backwards compatable with PS3 T.T).
Still anxoiusly waiting news on a release date for 358(whatever the number)/2 Days and Birth by Sleep release dates.
Hopefully everything will be good. I'm still a little sore with Squeenix over the whole FFXIII ordeal.

You should also take note that whenever legitimate reviewers say 40 hours or 80 hours, they usually mean half that. It's common knowledge that legitimate news sources suck balls at video games, though not really sure about Famitsu since I really don't look to them much.
Famitsu does take payoffs I'm sure though, so I wouldn't go through them for anything but information regardless and then buy the game on how good I think it is.

I figured it just wouldn't work because once it got to the tutorial it wouldn't proceed past the movement section. I'll need to get PS2 to PS3 memory card adapter, but the game seemed to look much smoother and run quicker on the PS3.

On Gundam Battle Universe. Depending on whether you want to play through all of the Federation, Zeon, Axis, Titans, and Neo Zeon campaigns, get all the mobile suits, and S ranks on all the missions, it's got around 30-50 hours to complete everything.
Those games are amazing, too.
