The game does a good job of tying the two games together as well, with lots of hidden cutscenes and dialogue explaining or expanding on character relationships, and making reference to events of the previous cycle. Of note, Terra, Cloud and Tidus, Warriors of Cosmos (A.K.A, the good guys) in the original game, are on the side of Chaos this time around, while Jecht is a Warrior of Cosmos, with Kuja and Golbez betraying the other villains and setting up multiple plot points that are expanded on in the (sequel?) original game. There are a few surprise twists in this game, one of the biggest for example, is the amount of switching sides that goes on. The nature of the conflict is 'never ending' because the conflict repeats in cycles, with the original game, Dissidia, being the 13th cycle in the conflict, and Duodecim, being a prequel, being the 12th cycle, hence the 012 in the title.ĭuodecim focuses on 6 warriors of Cosmos, Kain, Tifa, Laguna, Yuna, Vaan and Lightning, who, for reasons revealed during the course of the game, were not present in the 13th cycle.

I had played the original of course, and loved it and ordinarily if you were playing the sequel, you would play the original game again first right?ĭuodecim is a rarity in the gaming world, not only is it a brilliant game in it's own right with a crap ton of new characters, systems and other additions, but it also includes a redone and improved version of the original game inside it.ĭuodecim is not a sequel, it is a prequel, and to properly explain why, and the title of the game, you have to go into spoiler territory:ĭissidia tells the story of a never ending conflict between the Goddess of Harmony, Cosmos and the God of Discord, Chaos. So, onto the main subject, the rather unfortunately titled Dissidia Duodecim 012: Final Fantasy. well, I've barely been doing anything else since, I've even put Type-0 on the backburner. I recently discovered that PSP emulators are a thing, so I decided to try it out.
