On this day 2011: Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy was released

Crazy, I was just thinking about this game randomly. Probably the most amount of hours I've ever put into any non-MMO. Gilgamesh was a great addition to the sequel and my favorite in the series.
This game was so damn great. I was pleasantly surprised by the original Dissidia, and then they released such an incredible update for it. Really lovely game, it deserved better than what we got with Dissidia NT. It's such a shame they took that route when they could have just built on what 012 did. Hell, I woudn't mind if they just release an updated version of 012 for consoles and Switch. I feel like that would be an easy win. The good still looks pretty nice, so it might not be too much of an effort to get it ported.
EDIT: Also, I had this song (along with Chaos' theme) stuck in my head for the longest time when clearing through the story. lol

I would've loved a port to consoles or PC with online play added.
One of the best feelings in gaming is when you're are just so hyped for a game and it just delivers when it finally arrives. I don't think I ever watched a game so closely than the first Dissidia. It truly felt like a celebration of the series and I was eating up every piece of information and was loving all the Amano designs they were giving the characters. It was the first and only game I ever imported I think. 012 was such a great expansion to the original.
It is such a fun game.
They should have remastered this game instead while adding new characters. That would have been way better than whatever NT was.

I was absolutely addicted to playing this game on my Vita and oh boy did that PS4 release depress me
Christ. Can't believe it's been a decade. I loved 012, the story mode was really extensive and the combat was great. Adding assist characters was a good idea. I wish they'd backed off on the retailer-exclusive preorder DLC, but eh, I got my KH Cloud at least.
I brought my PSP to school often and tried to beat a friend who mained Gabranth. I don't think I ever beat him lol.
I really hope they remake it eventually. The direction they went with NT was really unfortunate. I liked its combat, but the rest of the game was just so barebones, and the removal of pretty much all the RPG aspects was such a bummer.

As someone who wasn't very fond of Lightning even in FF13. The way Square was pushing the character a bunch during the years after FF13 kinda annoyed me haha. But like you say still a fantastic product.
Fuck NT for killing Dissidia.
FF is my favorite franchise and Dissidia 012 is my favorite game in the franchise. So much fanservice, references, content

I looove the FF fan service aspect of Dissidia, never could get into the actual gameplay though.
This was the problem.
Dissidia didn't let Cloud, Squall, or Tidus be the lead despite being far more popular than WoL.
FF XI didn't have a lead character because it was one of the newest games in the series. Hell XII only had a secret unlockable side character that was neither the lead nor the big bad.
It was a legacy celebration and it felt like that because they had the Future FF leads support WoL and the Villians Garland/Chaos. Combine that with the music and art style being based on Amano's art and it truly felt like a celebration.
O12 Has Lightning suddenly thrust in the lead fighting both Garland/Sephiroth in the opening and even the story felt like she took the lead from WoL. Ive never felt like a character suddenly felt forced in a game like I did with Lighting in 012.
Again I say this as someone who loved her (and Fang) in XIII.
