So far, Dissidia: Final Fantasy can't be seen as anything other than a huge success. It outsold Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII in a very small period of time and it continues to sell reasonably well on the PSP almost 2 months after its initial release. It's inevitable that Square Enix are already planning a full-blown sequel to capitalise on their new found riches, right? Wrong.

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).
