I hope they add stages that aren't just the final dungeon areas. I would like to see areas such as Balamb Garden or Alexandria but I'm expecting more areas based on dungeons.

I'm hoping they at least address a lot of the issues I had with the first game and fix the problems with the basic formula. This is probably going to end up being a new story with the same old gameplay, which is kinda too bad since the idea certainly has potential.
Ah well, it makes sense that they might be releasing it this way; the PSP is nearing the end of its lifetime. As I've said elsewhere, every single remaining high-profile PSP release except for FF Agito 13 will be released in at least one territory by the end of 2010 (IIRC) - now you can add Dissidia Duodecim to the list of 2011 releases, but it strikes me as something probably getting developed and pushed out in a much much shorter period of time than its predecessor so they can hit the platform while it's still alive and kicking.

And Nomura said it'd be out before Agito. Who knows, maybe it'll even make it out in December in Japan. I'm doubtful, but it's possible.Kagari said:

The original didn't have any characters from XIII and (the already released for years) XI and XII were only represented by 1 'secret' character, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything Versus XIII related. Besides how can you know if you'd actually want any Versus characters without playing the game?

Vayne is perfect for a game like Dissidia imo.
He has cool special attacks/abilities:

Thanks!duckroll said:
I'm buying T3B and Agito for sure, but Dissidia 012 needs to do a good bit more to win me over. I'll be curious to see what gets shown at TGS.

:/ I liked the campaign in the first Dissidia, bite-sized battles that I could rip through on my commute to work.

Well I guess they were pursuing a formula with stage choices. Saying that I thought for the most part they were interesting and decently varied.

Yeah, I was just hoping that the amount of quality games would accelerate....like what gaming companies normally do during the ending cycle of a generation.
The PSP is clearly at the end of its lifecycle.

Dramatic?
Look, I love stories in my videogames. I like good stories, hell, I even like shitty stories - why not? Different world, different rules, blah blah however I rationalize it. But there was nothing dramatic about Dissida. It literally was the worst piece of translated crap I've played in a game. It murdered all the characters. It's like they took 40+ hours of characterization, boiled them down to one line or theme (friends, roses, I fight for my friends!, dreams, whatever) and each "character" was nothing but an extension of this one line. In. Every. Scene.
It saddened me, the potential for fan service it could have been was wasted other than 'iz cool to see.'
Aw well. Though I agree, let's make everything more dramatic by even adding some real drama, eh? Will buy if the fix the 1-dimension of it all (not to mention, the actual writing was bad), cause the game was kinda fun, but if not I'm not sure I want to destroy my nostalgia any more.

Yeah, I didn't mind it much, just hoping for less story, more content (characters/stages/music) and hopefully some improvements to the batt-jaundicejuice said:

I do see what you're saying, but honestly I'm not too bothered about the engine not improving much. IMO Dissidia even by todays standards, pushes the PSP to it's limit. I still think it's the finest looking game on the system and I don't expect much more from the sequel graphically. :/
What I'm interested in is content and variety, even if this game amounts to being not much more than an expansion pack. I think you're being a bit harsh on a game that only has two released screenshots to it's name. When they turn out four identical sequels I'll start worrying, but as it stands now, this is just more Dissidia - one of my favourite games ever - and that's definitely a good thing.
Fimbulvetr said:
No, that was Universal Tuning. It was released last year. This is clearly a sequel in terms of release. It's not the same game + more content. But it's a sequel which uses a lot of the same content as the original game, instead of being something totally different. Super Street Fighter is a very apt comparison.

Ah, I was thinking more negatively because I really didn't know SSFIV was that substantial. If that is what this is, that wouldn't be too bad. Of course, I doubt they sell it for 2/3 the price of the original.duckroll said:

While the initial announcement excited me, I'm not going to be fooled again.
Dissidia was one of the most disappointing games I've ever played. The premise is the stuff fan dreams are made of and yet almost every aspect of the game had me feeling like wasted potential.
The remixed music was lackluster. The Amano influenced character designs reminded me nothing of the games I love. Most stages didn't remind me at all of their respective worlds. The story/dialog as most here have mentioned was so lifeless and lame (roses,friendship,light/dark,believeinyourself). The AI was one of the most frustrating things ever, whether they were dodging your attacks at near cheating levels or playing run-away for 5 minutes straight on stages where it's almost impossible to catch them. The equipment system was not fun and made things very unbalanced. The brave system didn't make for close exciting battles, almost every round resulted in one player getting enough brave to one-shot the other.
I can't get excited for this. I can't even get excited just to see my beloved characters in 3D. I would love to see Celes in 3D, but odds are it would be ugly Amano banana suit Celes instead of the Shoulder guard, White cape, Green leotard Celes of my memories.
The game would have to be reworked from scratch to get me excited again. Dissidia is the single most worst case of wasted opportunity I can think of in the history of video games.

Unlike the first game, which I bought almost full price (collector's edition) - and it was worth it -, I'll surely get this game for more or less 20 thanks to online UK retailers.
It will be more or less half the price I paid for the original !
No complaining at that price, for me.
Can't wait till the TGS reveal !

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I hope they add more odd characters like Gabranth. I loved the fact that all of his special moves charged his EX bar, and he was only REALLY useful in EX mode. More strange characters like that would be a huge plus.

I hope Balthier isn't in it because that'll have an undue influence on my ability to make rational decisions about what I should and shouldn't spend money on.duckroll said:

Sexy sequel to one of my most played games.
Please Square-Enix, add another hero and villian for each entry. I'd love to see Sabin and General Leo, maybe even the beast himself, Ultros.

You're right, the emperor could be pretty badass, but that would mean three "long range" magic users from the FF6 universe and I'd like to see some more close quarters melee based combatants.
Would be great if it had a full fledged ARPG mode where you could cruise around a dungeon clobbering weaker baddies, collecting treasure, and gaining level. Then you could battle a boss in an arena like area, similar to the ones from the first title.
