1UP: "Despite a hidden ending that hints at a sequel and Japanese sales inching up on that magical million, perennial Square Enix It Boy Tetsuya Nomura has flatly denied that a second Dissidia is in development.

At the end of a lengthy interview in the 704-page Dissidia Ultimania strategy guide, released yesterday, Nomura states: "There are no current plans for a sequel. To be honest, I wanted to do one up until a few months ago. I even called [Mitsunori] Takahashi, the planning director, and [Ryuji] Ikeda, the lead programmer, to talk about sequel concepts -- I told them to think about what they were going to do and prepare themselves [to make a sequel]. However, circumstances inside the company wiped that idea out... to actually make [a sequel] happen would be very difficult given the situation."

Siliconera: "Later this month Dissidia: Final Fantasy comes out in Korea. It won't be fully localized like Persona 4, believe it or not there is a Korean text version of Persona 4 there. Anyway, Korea gets Dissidia: Final Fantasy before us. As a bonus anyone that reserves the Korean version gets a Dissidia: Final Fantasy desktop calendar with art that looks like its from the Dissidia: Final Fantasy soft drinks."

Much has been made of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. It was in theory every Final Fantasy fan's dream, and it has the potential to even bring in players who might normally be put off by the RPG nature of the series. Given this, it's hardly surprising that Dissidia beat Crisis Core's first week sales figures.

Since then it's gone from strength to strength.

PSP Hyper reports that videogame retailer blog Sinobi reports that 350,000 copies of Dissidia Final Fantasy were sold last Thursday, when the game went on sale in Japan. The number include the super nice 20th Anniversary Limited Pack that come with a special edition PSP, which is around 40,000 units according to Sinobi. It worth noting that Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII also did 350,000 copies on its first day and went on to sell almost 490,000 copies in its first week. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G still has the best first day for a PSP game when it sold 670,000 copies earlier this year (MHP 2nd is second with 512,000).

Siliconera: "Square Enix wants to make sure Japan, well at least Tokyo, is aware of Dissidia: Final Fantasy's release. For a limited time daily commuters passing through Shinjuku Station get a tour through the history of Final Fantasy. These posters are a part of a massive ad campaign where all the heroes/villain combinations span the walls of the Keio underground walkway."

www.pushingplay.com writes "One more reason to hang on to your PSP! Dissidia is an upcoming action RPG/fighting hybrid game from Square Enix, featuring every Final Fantasy main protagonist and antagonist from FF1 to 10. Square saved the most beloved characters to reveal last. The gameplay looks abundantly fun. It seems that the numbers at the sides don't represent the characters' HP, but something called "brave points", which determines attack power. There are two kinds of attacks in the game, assist and HP. Assist attacks will reduce your opponents brave points and add to your own, while HP attacks do the damage."

Initially the roster was announced at 20 characters, and this made sense; two from ever title up to Final Fantasy X. However, the announcement of Shantotto completely threw this out of whack and people thought that at least one other character would be joining her, on the Side of Evil. Well, it turns out that those people thought correctly.

A new scan has been unveiled in the latest edition of Shonen Jump Magazine which shows off some new information about Shantotto's appearance in Dissidia: Final Fantasy.

Not only will she be on the Side of Light, the team lead by Cosmos, she will also be using some staples of Final Fantasy XI's Black Mage class. Not only will she use Artifact Armour, she will also be using Ancient Magic.

Dissidia Final Fantasy is featured once again in the latest Famitsu. This time, the magazine has a look at probably the two biggest characters in the game, along with a recap of the game's board-based story mode and multiplayer options.

Those two biggest characters are, of course, Final Fantasy VII's Cloud and Sephiroth. The two were previously confirmed for inclusion and have been featured in past trailers.

Last week the first in-game images were released of Cloud and Sephiroth together, but they were quite small and didn't really show much. Now the images are much better and showcase a lot of different things, including where they drew their influences from.
