Any concerns that the pacey battling of Dissidia: Final Fantasy would lead to a game that is as short as it is sweet can be safely dropped. In a laudatory review, Famitsu Weekly has revealed that the single player story mode is a whopping 40 hours in length, and if you want to unlock everything you’ll need to set aside a hundred. Most content-heavy fighting game ever?
Famitsu scored the game 36/40, a shade higher than the equally polished Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Elsewhere in the article, the writers say the game’s customisation options are rich, but the controls are easy to master. Apparently the story is worth reading, too, despite the somewhat dubious premise of having characters from all twelve Final Fantasy RPGs throw punches at one another.
No European or North American release dates have been announced. Oh Square Enix, how you tease.
