Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy

Dissidia 012, the prequel to Square Enix’s 2009 title Dissidia: Final Fantasy, also includes the original’s story remade to fit the new mechanics. Dissidia 012 depicts the twelfth cycle of the ongoing War of the Gods, and the heroes summoned to the realm for that cycle. In story mode, the goal is to defeat a specific opponent or a gauntlet of opponents. Although the gameplay is essentially the same as its predecessor, it does include changes such as the Assist system, which allows you to summon another character to execute attacks on your opponent or take a hit for you. The story mode also includes a free-roaming game world, with the tile-based system of its predecessor retained only for dungeons entered from the gameworld via “gateways.” It has the character leveling and equipment/skill customization elements from before. Characters from Final Fantasy I to Final Fantasy XIII and every game in between have been added to the roster.
