Review: Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (PS4)
There are few franchises in video gaming quite like Final Fantasy. After three decades, the series has spawned more iconic characters and cities than most other franchises could hope to achieve in twice as long. The appeal, therefore, of a game like Dissidia Final Fantasy NT should be self-explanatory: take a bunch of instantly recognisable heroes and villains and throw them all together into a fighting game so the fans can act out the battles they've been imagining for years. The original Dissidia games on PSP were popular, but now the series has arrived on home console, taking the one-on-one battles of previous games and upping the ante by making each fight a three versus three rumble. The idea is golden. The execution, unfortunately, leaves much to be desired.
The idea of this game really seemed appealing, I had some high hopes for it. But it sounds like they didn't really enjoy this game at all. There's a lot of problems, from controls, to camera, to network problems. The network problems seem to be the real deal breaker. It seems like it has network lag problems, and most of the game depends on being played online.
It sounds like they have a long way to go to fix this game, if they even will. If you're a long time Final Fantasy fan, you might get a lot out of the all the fan service, but that's really all this game seems to have going for it.
