For those of you wondering, "dissidia" is technically not a word. However, some speculate that it could possibly be derived from the Latin word "dissidium," which roughly translates to "one that causes conflicts." The English word "dissident" is derived from it, too.

Graphics

Dissidia: Final Fantasy (D:FF) looks gorgeous on the PSP. All the characters are fully detailed from their clothes and weapons to their physical characteristics. The areas that you fight in are detailed just as nicely, too. And each character's attacks (physical or magical) are very flashy and vibrant. Additionally, the cutscenes, especially the Intro, are stunning.Read more
