Last time, we brought you the trivia about Dissidia originally being made for the PlayStation 2. Today, we have another delightful small-talk piece concerning the game that every PSP owner's got to be waiting for, Dissidia: Final Fantasy. This time, it's about DFF originating from Kingdom Hearts.

Just like Chaos and Cosmos fighting over control of the balance, Amazon and GameStop will be fighting over control of the Dissidia: Final Fantasy sales.

We're going arcade in Dissidia: Final Fantasy, or at least we'll have the option to. Thanks to Square Enix, the US version of the highly-anticipated RPG-fighting title is getting an Arcade Mode, designed for that quick play.

Apart from the sheer fangasmic thrill of Dissidia: Final Fantasy coming to the West, Square Enix also provides not one, but two faces for the game's boxart. On one hand, we have the evil warlords of Chaos, then we have the good guys of Cosmos on the other. Take your pick.

Everybody's got something to say about PSP piracy. Understandably enough, developers and publishers see the issue as a huge detriment.

Back in January, Square Enix's very own Tetsuya Nomura revealed that plans for a sequel to Dissidia: Final Fantasy were actually already in place, but eventually fell through the cracks. However, to spark a bit of hope, he also mentioned that if fans demanded it enough, Dissidia II might really happen in the future. Back then, I suggested we do a petition for it, now though, it looks like Square Enix will be listening to fans in terms of actual software sales.
