Dissidia 2: Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy Dissidia 2 not happening, says Tetsuya Nomura, unless a lot of fans ask for it

Final Fantasy Dissidia Japanese boxartFinal Fantasy Dissidia hasn�t even been released anywhere outside of Japan, where it sold over 801,000 copies on PSP within one month, yet a sequel to the action-RPG was already considered but put aside according to Square Enix character designer Tetsuya Nomura.

At the end of an interview in the 704-page Japanese Dissidia Ultimania strategy guide, Mr. Nomura said: �There are no current plans for a sequel. To be honest, I wanted to do one up until a few months ago. I even called [Mitsunori] Takahashi, the planning director, and [Ryuji] Ikeda, the lead programmer, to talk about sequel concepts � I told them to do what they had to do, but also prepare themselves [to make a sequel]. However, circumstances inside the company wiped that idea out� to actually make [a sequel] happen would be very difficult given the situation.�

It�s suggested that these �circumstances� are simply Square Enix Production Team 1 being in a rush finish Final Fantasy XIII. 1UP further translates that Mr. Nomura does close off the interview by saying that a sequel isn�t entirely out of the question: �If a lot of fans ask for a Dissidia II, circumstances might change. I�d like to think about the matter again if that happens.�

Considering a hidden ending hints at a sequel, let�s hope a second Dissidia might go in development in the future. Although that�ll be hard to say for the English-speaking audience, since the U.S. release isn�t until mid-2009. Still, what do you say, should Dissidia be a series?

Um, I don’t know exactly where you live, but Dissidia has been out for months in the US and Europe/PAL territories (Europe even got a fancy limited edition set with bonus stuff bundled in). Seems to me that information you’ve quoted is long out of date.

As for future Dissidia games, to be honest, considering how the story mode for Dissidia ends where it’s revealed that the game is essentially a tie-in/psuedo sequel to FFI, it could possibly be given a sequel, although I’d much rather a proper FF-themed fighting game with most of the cast from every FF game, rather than just the protagonist and antagonist from each (yes I know how incredibly lame and fanatical that sounds). But, it probably won’t happen, so ah well.

I’m with Enkidoh here – it probably won’t happen, but if it did I’d want more characters on the roster (FFXII deserved proper representation, dammit!).

Lol… i got it… and that text is found from old source…

I’m not sure about a sequel, because I don’t think they could add much more to what the have already, besides characters
