does this game ever get good

>>> I agree with this, Im from the old school so I used to fight a lot at the arcades with other people (side to side and face to face battles). Now with the whole online gaming stuff we cant even see our opponent`s face, not to mention that you need Wi-Fi and crap like that to get online..

I think that any current generation fighting game needs to have easily accessible multiplayer functions. Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 are set up so that you can find competition without actively having to gather players from your area or from an online community. It looks to me like Dissidia Final Fantasy lacks this, but this might be the fault of the Playstation Portable rather than Square Enix.

>>> Competing against the computer is not that bad you know, the main point of videogames since their beginnings is play against the computer (the man vs the manchine).
And if someone need to socialize that much that person can always form a nerd group, cosplay as FF characters, and start to punch each other in the face ..

I agree that competing against the computer is alright, but, when it comes to fighting games, I feel differently because these games really shine when you are playing with another human rather than an artificial intelligence with poor strategies or design.

I know of no one else in Concord or Vacaville who owns Dissidia. The game's AD Hoc Friend Card system makes me feel suddenly lonely.

I agree that the game really should have had online play and its the games biggest weakness but I do feel one smart move on SE's part is that ability to customize the enemy A.I. so it does a have a bit of more life than other fighting games I've played.

Dissidia starts off with a bang. The introduction FMV is great and has a lot of nostalgic value. And it makes you say stuff like "wow, Squall vs. Sephiroth!" But after completing story mode, it got a bit old hat for me. I couldn't help but think it'd be better if the game let me use more than just the moves I equipped to that character.

You can still spend hours upon hours mastering all of the characters, because [in my opinion] they all have extremely distinct fighting styles and an interesting array of unique attack moves specific to each character [not counting Bartz, since his fighting style is specifically mimicking the moves of his companions].

Actually, Bartz's moves are fairly unique as well since he combos attacks from one character's skill set into another's. One of my personal favorites is Climbarrel.

In the sequel, there must be a party mode that let's you brawl with up to four fighters and possibly team up two-two so we can use partner moves like when Tidus hurls Zidan at Exdeath in the opener.

Naturally, Genesis will appear alongside Zack in the sequel. Here's his initial outfit based on Gackt's representation of Genesis in concert and next is the alternate based on GR's appearance in CC.

One of my personal favorites is Climbarrel.

This is late, but may I ask why? Just like Cloud's Climhazzard, it's so easy to block and see coming that I no longer even bother equipping it.

Well, I may've gotten the name wrong, but it's usefulness is not my point anyway. I just think it looks cool.
