I’m Sold on Dissidia
One issue about being a copy editor for a gaming site is that sometimes I gloss over articles instead of read them. I’m looking for spelling errors, punctuation errors, poor sentence structure, as well as coherence, cohesion and general sense of the article. Most of the time after I proofread and edit, I have no idea what the article was about. And then someone always asks me what new games are coming out, and I have to look it up on the site’s front page, because I have no idea what I just read. It’s sometimes a necessary quality to be a good copy editor, but it’s a bad one when it comes to being a gaming fan.
So I have known about Dissidia: Final Fantasy for some time, and at the same time, I hardly knew anything. I thought it was another branch game, like Crystal Chronicles or Tactics, but I was so, so incredibly wrong.
I visited the Square Enix blog today and they posted a new trailer for Square Enix members only. I’m sure it will be on YouTube eventually, but it’s not yet. When I saw Squall and Tidus amongst the mix, I was sold instantly. I’ve already visited Amazon and put in my preorder. Now I know what the conundrum has been about this game and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days releasing on the same day. I’ll definitely be torn between which game to play first.
Well I guess it’s official. I’m walking down the dark side.
