Preface: I've played the JPN version of Dissidia.

Incredibly, you combined not only a complete lack of knowledge about the Dissidia fighting system, but a complete ignorance of Final Fantasy in general (Onion Knight is not a girl) to give what was at best, a crappy showcase. Did you perhaps even consider doing some research before showing off the game? If you did, it sure didn't sound like it. Dammit, I mean, I've put in over 200 hours into my copy of JPN Dissidia and you even put me off getting the Dissidia. I had to watch some more youtube video's of Dissidia to restore my faith in it.

Man, they're really pulling out the stops on the fanservice here. I loved how the menus differed depending on which game each character came from.

No, 6 was 3 in North America. In the rest of the world it was just 6. It doesn't have anything to do with the SNES. "
6 actually was released on the SNES.  "
That is what I'm saying. Seedofpower asked whether or not 6 was 3 on the SNES, as if it was first released on another system as 6 and then released on the SNES as 3. What I'm saying is that the 6 = 3 mess is not due to something SNES related. Rather, it has to do with the territory it was released in. Final Fantasy VI was released as such in Japan but was released as 3 in North American territories. "
Ah, my bad. Thanks for clearing that up.

It looks boring.  This game would probably be more interesting if I had ever played an FF game before, so I would know who these characters are in the game.

The interface looks busy. Too many numbers & swirly arcarde symbols in the game. It worked for Crackdown, but some of these Japanese games clutter the screen. I'm not sure why they like that kind of look & feel so much.

I like to hear about what employees do for money at GB, such as going for bonus cash & shit.

... you had to watch Youtube videos of a game you've already played for 200 hours (and presumably like) to reaffirm your own faith in it?

@Twitchet: Good job bro, you made an account to talk about your opinions that nobody cares about and is actually quite sad. Either way Giant Bomb guys aren't much of huge JRPG fan so they are straight up about it and just say what they think and its for lulz. If you need to watch YT videos to restore faith...then dude you got some issues...

Looks like crap, play worse.  Castelvania: Judgement actually looked better, and that's saying something.

Why do companies make shitty fighting games using characters and themes that have no place in one?  I don't think there has been one yet that was even marginally good.  Didn't Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kassi teach us anything?

Please, go find a copy of Ergheiz.  It has FF7 people in it and it's actually a pretty good game.  Square should have put that on the PS store and called it a day.

I have the Japanese version of this game.

I'm a Final Fantasy fan, but I wasn't a fan of this game. It was disappointing to say the least.

Ok seriously, let someone who knows the damn game explain it, you guys did everything HORRIBLY!!! This game is amazing, screw you bashers, ONION KNIGHT IS A MALE!!!! The place you fought in is Pandemonium from FF2, and try pressing the triangle button when those arrows appear instead of falling into the bravepool like a dumbass, even a newbie could find that one out. Oh, and no depth? Are you guys retarded?! It has an entire storyline to it, Cosmos is losing the fight against Chaos, and Warrior of Light and the others must defeat their Nemesis from their corresponding games along with Chaos himself to save Cosmos and restore balance, yes I have played the JPN version, even though I couldn't read it, at least I understood what was going on, and if you guys would do a background check for once, you would know that FF2 has been out since the late 90's and 3 was released on the DS, my god is that so hard to understand? Try checking into a game before you go assuming you know how it works. I was never as pissed with a review as this, you guys ruined this game for many people who never knew about it. Also, those comments about Square milking a dead cow, try the game out so you realize that this is a masterpiece of a fighter.

And no I'm not some fanboy, don't even start with the get a life shit, and don't even think about posting your shit "review" of the game if you haven't even played it!

So when someone says your girlfriend is incredible ugly you also feel the need to watch pictures and video's of her to restore your faith even though you banged her about 200 times?

@Wyvernblade: Yay, more new users that love their FF series too much. Giantbomb aren't huge JRPGs, be a little less serious, they aren't going to know everything there is or they even care really. You just prove the point of diehard fanboys who defend their games to death. and I bet you aren't even going to log on to reply.

@DarkEnzanArikado: I'm saying that it takes very little knowledge to know Onion Knight is a boy, and who the hell said I'm a diehard fanboy, I'm saying that what they didn't know was common knowledge, they obviously knew who Cloud and Sephiroth were >_> and its hard to go somewhere without seeing something about Dissidia, and almost every preview or ad explains the story. I'm just not going to waste my time here anymore, you people jump to conclusions way too early, and you just HAVE to insult someone and saying they are some "fanboy" for knowing something simple about the game, so good day.

@Wyvernblade: While I do agree with your views, I still think you were a bit too hotheaded yourself when you made your first post. True, they didn't quite know everything about the game, but you made a pretty bad first impression by practically insulting the GB crew's intelligence. It almost reeked of fanboyism until you corrected yourself.
 
Perhaps if you were a bit more polite, and realized that not everyone is into FF as much as you, then you would have a slightly better opinion of this site.

@Wyvernblade: I doubt it is an insult and more a fact. Sure it is simple knowledge but the reason that they knew who Cloud and Sephiroth is because who doesn't, if you heard of FFVII, the first thing you hear is omg Cloud Sephiroth. It is also a good thing that you aren't on this site because you are just being an asshole everytime you post. It also shows how much of an asshole that you need to make an account to post your views when you can just walk away and be happy instead of making yourself a keyboard warrior and making yourself mad because people aren't all like you.
