Mitsunori Takahashi, director of Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, spoke to VG247 recently regarding the upcoming title. Amidst a lot of interesting questions and responses, a few of them stand out - particularly the ones regarding PSP2 and home consoles.
When asked if they were excited in developing a future Dissidia game for NGP, Takahashi replied "We have no actual plans for the PSP2 console at the moment. We decided to create Dissidia 012 on the PSP because we wanted to create a high quality game in a short space of time. So considering that, we thought PSP, a console we are familiar with already, was the most appropriate console."
In response to the question as to why they didn't bring Dissidia to home consoles he said "There are no particular reasons as to why we shouldn’t make it available to home consoles."
"When we were developing the last Dissidia, we decided that the PSP would be the best platform for this particular type of game. As the developing environment has been set up, we wanted to make the most of it. There is no reason why we won’t do it in the future; we’re just waiting on the feedback from the players. If there is a voice for Dissidia on home consoles then we’ll consider it."
Also, regarding the game's roster, Takahashi was asked how many arguments they had in the board room about what characters to add, to which he responded with a laugh, and followed it by saying "Each member of staff has their own recommendations and the core gamers have been sending plenty of their demands too. This was what we were expecting, but we found that memory was getting quite tight near the end. We wanted to try incorporating as many playable characters as possible."
"Basically, we can’t avoid having arguments as we all have different opinions, voices and favourites, but in the end we had to choose the characters that were very popular and characters that add new dimensions to that action style of the game."
