Sony is going PSP bundle bananas this year, releasing “Entertainment Packs” packaged with Rock Band Unplugged, Hannah Montana: Rock Out the Show and Assassin’s Creed. Today we can add one more bundle to the pile.
Presumably, there’s no rush to get these PS Pictogram cases out in Japan, considering Sony and bag-making partner Porter have released approximately one billion of them so far. But not a Dissidia Final Fantasy one!
When we were children, we wanted two things: a Super Mario Bros. movie and a Final Fantasy fighting game; we got one of those things, and it made us wish we were dead.
The upcoming issue of Famitsu has some new scans of DISSIDIA: Final Fantasty character Shantotto.
The latest issue of Shonen Jump shows Final Fantasy IV hero Cecil Harvey in its latest update on PSP title DissidieFinal Fantasy. He’s standing across from FFIV bad guy Golbez. The game launches this December with three more characters to still yet be revealed. Ah yes, drip-fed PR.

DISSIDIA: Final Fantasy has been dated: the action RPG hits Japanese PSPs on December 18th. Tetsuya Nomura did the character designs, and while the game has a good buzz, it’ll be good to see Square Enix get the title out the doors. You know, so Nomura can focus on more important things. Final Fantasy Versus XIII, we’re looking right at you.
DISSIDIA is priced at ¥6,090 ($US 56).

Square Enix’s upcoming PSP “action RPG” Dissidia: Final Fantasy features heroes and villians from Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X. Epic stuff! The game does look and sound big for a PSP title. But just how big? Says the game’s senior director Takeshi Arakawa:
Mr. Nomura [the game's character designer, pictured]has been at all the voice recordings, and the script is double the length ofCrisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
Sure sounds like Square Enix is making a AAA PSP title. Good for Square Enix. Good for PSP owners.
