Like seriously? "Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy". That string of words makes no sense!
Can anyone explain it?

The worst videogame name?
The reasoning behind the '012' (which isn't pronounced when you say it, so it's just 'Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy'... or just 'Dissidia Duodecim') is that this game follows the Twelfth cycle of war between the gods, Chaos and Cosmos (the ones responsible for being all like 'hey Final Fantasy characters, come beat the crap out of each other!') - whereas the original game was based on the Thirteenth cycle of war. So Dissidia Duodecim is a prequel to the first game.
It's a bit silly for a title, but hey, Final Fantasy games like their silly titles. At least there is some sort of reasoning behind it.

I'm not saying that it's a good title at all, in fact I think it would've been easier just to stick 'Dissida Duodecim' on the box, rather than 'Dissidia 012 [Duodecim] Final Fantasy' nonsense that's on the box, but at least there is some sort of reason to the madness.
It's right up there with "Dirge of Cerberus" in terms of saying absolutley nothing about the game itself.
It says 12 in the name even though it's the second game in that series, it frustrates me. It's like it is trying to be needlessly fancy in the same way most Kingdom Hearts titles do.
Two Words: Infinite Undiscovery.
@Fallen189: You need to look up names for more Japanese games. I'm confident in saying that this name wouldn't make the top 50.
My vote is Divine Divinity; I just can't help but laugh at how redundant it is.

Dissidia sounds like an STD... sorry, but I just had to say it. It really does.
