Dissidia Final Fantasy is an action RPG where heroes and rivals from across the Final Fantasy series come together for a dream crossover.
The biggest appeal of the game is undoubtedly the ability to control popular characters from throughout Final Fantasy history. Iconic figures like Cloud and Sephiroth appear, each with their signature moves and fighting styles faithfully reproduced. You’ll constantly find yourself thinking, “This is exactly the move I wanted to see!”—a true delight for fans.

Unlike the traditional turn‑based battle system, the game features real‑time action, letting you roam freely across wide 3D fields as you fight. Another major draw is the original story, where characters from different worlds meet and interact. You’ll encounter plenty of moments where you think, “I’ve always wanted to see these two talk!”—whether it’s rivalries or unexpected new bonds.
There’s also plenty of RPG depth, from character growth to equipment upgrades, giving the game great replay value through missions and customization.

“Is this the ultimate dream match-up?”
“I want to see characters from different games battle it out!”
“What kind of story will it have?”
Since then, the series has evolved with sequels, an arcade edition, and even a PS4 version. Today, years later, the Dissidia series is still loved by countless fans.
