Overview
Square Enix developed and published Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, an action fighting game for the PlayStation Portable. Released in 2011, the game serves as a direct prequel to the original Dissidia Final Fantasy, expanding the story and roster with new playable heroes and villains drawn from across the long-running Final Fantasy series. The game blends fast-paced aerial combat with deep RPG mechanics, setting battles across large floating arenas where players pick their favorite characters and clash in one-on-one duels. What makes it stand out is how it combines traditional fighting game action with rich character progression, customizable equipment systems, and strategic ability selection before each match. Players build up Bravery points during combat and convert them into powerful HP attacks to knock out their opponent. This dual-resource system rewards careful timing and sharp decision-making over simple button mashing, giving every fight a layer of tactical depth that appeals to both newcomers and long-time fans of the Final Fantasy series.
The game offers several ways to play. Story Mode follows a new narrative called Light to All, placing players in the 012th cycle of the eternal conflict between Cosmos and Chaos. Players guide multiple characters across a board-like world map, fighting enemies to earn CP and open new paths forward. Arcade Mode lets players chain together a quick series of battles for fast rewards, while a deep character customization system allows equipping weapons, armor, and accessories to shape how each fighter performs. Ad-hoc multiplayer supports two players competing head-to-head over a local wireless connection, adding a competitive edge to the overall package. The game ships with over thirty playable fighters spanning many Final Fantasy titles, and each character brings a distinct moveset that captures the spirit of their original game. A new Assist mechanic lets players call in a second character mid-fight for a brief follow-up strike. Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy stands as a strong celebration of the franchise, offering impressive depth and variety that makes it one of the finest fighting titles on the PSP.
