Fantasy Video Game Updates

‘Dissidia' Final Version Finally Released

85 million copies of the ‘Dissidia’ fantasy game have been shipped worldwide over the past 20 years. Now Dissidia Final Fantasy is ready for release—in Japan! I’m sure some ‘Dissidia’ fanatic is already planning a trip to be among the first to snag a copy and return to the U.S. ‘Dissidia’ players can choose to fight on the side of good or evil. The Final Fantasy version brings a whole new collection of characters to the standbys to give the Dissidia gamer the ultimate experience. Here’s the backstory:

“Cosmos, the goddess of harmony. Chaos, the god of discord. Reigning from distant realms, the two gods had gathered warriors from all lands to lead them in savage war.

Cosmos and Chaos were of equal strength. It was believed the conflict would last forever. However, the balance is now broken.

Those who answered Chaos’s call created an inexhaustible force. And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one. The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos’s favor.

The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder. As for the few surviving warriors ... their fates have yet to be determined.”
