Quick update here for you on Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Square Enix’s intriguing pseudo-compilation project in development for the PSP to celebrate the Final Fantasy series’ illustrious 20-year anniversary, including a peek at four screenshots and the game’s fact sheet. I don’t know how the mishmash of FF characters will turn out, but it sure does sound like a cool concept.
Dissidia: Final Fantasy:
A new PSP game celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the FINAL FANTASY series!
