quare Enix looks poised to offer Dissidia: Final Fantasy as both downloadable game and UMD title at launch on 18th December.If the listing on the Sony Japan website proves accurate (well spotted, Siliconera), then we should be able to grab the title directly from the Japanese PSP Store. This involves pretending to live there, remember.
And, what with Square Enix still fathoming out European launch plans, that would seem quite appealing. The arena combat spin-off will be in Japanese, of course, but with the emphasis on fighting that shouldn't matter too much.
This sort of behaviour was started by Sony during the Tokyo Game Show, after the platform holder promised all first-party PSP games would simultaneously appear on UMD and the PSP Store.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy represents and acknowledges the birth of the first Final Fantasy title and up to 20 years later (Final Fantasy X). This milestone of 20 years is monumental to Square Enix and the Final Fantasy series as FFI was originally planned to be the only FF title in which it was created to save Square from liquidation in which they are celebrating by the release of Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
As a title of the Final Fantasy series, the characters (from FFI-FFX)climb and run up walls in order to take full advantage of the exhilarating space combat. The character within Dissidia take full advantage of their personal characteristics in which they use the full potential of the system’s ability of growth and innovation.
