The Unfortunate (But Inevitable) Death of Final Fantasy Dissidia

On March 5th, we got word of the last update that would come to the Dissidia NT game. This final update marks the end of the game as a whole, while the online servers would continue for a little while longer. Hazama stated in an interview, "The online service will still continue running so it won't be a case where you cannot play the game anymore.” However, the online servers will eventually end and we are supposedly supposed to hear more about that when the time is near. As for the character DLC and new outfits, locations, music tracks, etc , all of this comes to an end. 

Many of us can most likely easily determine why this happened, it comes down to one word: SALES. The sales for Dissidia NT despite their weak and scheming efforts to make $16 off of a skin were terrible and the game got some backlash for its 3 vs 3 mechanics that would drive even a totally sane person to insanity. (Not to mention the lack of core mechanics that made the game so lovable to begin with.) The story was flawed, boring, and unorganized. I could go on. Even though I had fun with the game at times, for the most part I played the game just to show appreciation for the characters that managed to make the limited roster. Which brings me to another issue the game has: the character roster. Upon release, Dissidia NT had a very limited character roster and took forever to release new characters. Tifa who was a part of the Duodecim package to begin with was only released several months after NT came out. Why wasn’t she a base game character? When it comes down to it, Dissidia NT was a slopfest. It looked good, there were characters I was overjoyed to see make it, and the battling in rare situations could be considered fun, but it overall just fell apart. In early trailers, I was EXCITED to see NT come together. I imagined how cool it would be to have an extensive storyline involving all the new characters and seeing all kinds of awesome character interactions and gameplay, but when reality set in, I realized the Dissidia NT I imagined and the one we deserved was all but a dream. 

It’s upsetting to come to the conclusion that Dissidia NT has quite frankly ruined the legacy of what was once a successful and grand mini franchise. Final Fantasy Dissidia Duodecim was a great example of what a Dissidia game could be if enough effort, time, and care was put into the product. But we must face reality: Dissidia for the time being despite its past success, is dead. No more characters. No more updates. Nothing. It’s all due to the failure of a game we all wanted so badly to succeed.

Maybe we are all born knowing everything, but are only allowed to live once that knowledge is sealed away...

Sephiroth Dissidia Duodecim 012

This gives us a close look at the inner desires and workings of Sephiroth’s psyche. He wanted so bad to know the truth. The truth of his origins and the truth of what Shinra was hiding from him....but when he learned....he crumbled. His life was taken away from him as he knew it and that is where this line comes from, I think.

Today I decided to play Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy again, starting from scratch, and to my surprise, when I was navigating the menus, I noticed...

... that you can actually CREATE QUESTS.

And when I say “create quests” I don’t mean just “x fights y” and little more, no... I mean that you can MAKE YOUR OWN STORIES. 

You write dialogues, choose music and scenario, put effects, choose the battles settings... I didn’t remember that feature AT ALL, and it just sounds so RAD.

I’m too excited about this feature! 💛

I think I just didn’t understand back in the day what this feature was for exactly because my English level wasn’t even close to how it is now. Or maybe I didn’t even read all the instructions...?

As a curiosity, in Spain this game came out with everything in English except for cutscenes and dialogues, which is weird.

And well, I’ve already experimented a little bit with the Quest Creator (or, should I say, “Interactive Fic Creator”) today, and I’ve started to create a quest with Lightning and Kain because I love these 2 characters and I love them as a pairing~

It seems that one can share said quests in certain ways, and one of them allows to just upload the file of the quest to your own PC. I’m thinking that, if I do some quests and anyone’s still playing this and is interested (although the probabilities are very low, if not nonexistent), I could upload them to Dropbox.

Ah, man... This Quest Creator opens up so many possibilities.

For now, I’ll just satisfy the shipper in me that hurts at the lack of Lightning x Kain and try create a story involving them lol.

Another good thing is that this will probably make up for a decent solace if Dissidia NT Final Fantasy ends up having as less story as I fear. Hell, I could even try to recreate a story about an ealier cycle if I wanted to, given the tools the Quest Creator has.

The value of replaying a game...

So I have these moments when shopping for games that I tend to ‘rule out’ the ones that I have already played and most recently this came up with the Final Fantasy X and X-2 remaster for PS4. I had already played the game on the PS2 and then again on the PS3 so i figured, why bother...right? Well I got to talking about the game with my sister and we realized we didn’t really remember much about what happened (granted this could have been because it was literally our first Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts was our introduction to Final Fantasy) So i took a leap and I re-bought the game at our local GameStop. Let me tell you going into the game a 3rd time was like going into it a first time. Re-experiencing one of your favorite games is one of the best things you could ask for. As your life goes on you change and your feelings on certain things change and you may just come out of the game with a new favorite character or a new perspective on something. There may have been something that you didn’t notice before or you may find a moral to the story you weren’t looking for. It really is an incredible and invaluable experience for any gamer.

(p.s. I was reminded of why I loved Tidus so much~! He is an adorable, hyper, and somewhat strange lovable goofball lol)

I was trying to remember what was familiar about this voice and then I found out this was the same woman who did Poison Ivy’s voice in the Arkham games. Cool.
