Cosmos and Chaos collide – Dissidia intro clip, screens

Fangasm at its finest, it’s the intro clip for Dissidia: Final Fantasy. The balance between Cosmos and Chaos is thrown asunder, and it’s up to the heroes to try and even things up. FF rivals mix matchups and square off in this clip, Squall and Sephiroth, Zidane and Kefka, Firion and Jecht, to name a few. Get 8 minutes and 45 seconds of the goods in the video.

Pick your favorites and watch them square off with a villain from another Final Fantasy title. Now that we know for sure that Dissidia: Final Fantasy is hitting North American shores, there is more reason for us to go nuts and want it even more. I watched this video over and over, not because I had to write about it, but because it’s just drop dead cool. Seriously.

Mixed matchups in glorious Square Enix CG: Squall goes head-to-head with Sephiroth; Kefka comes after Zidane; Kuja and Tidus; Zidane and Kefka; Firion and Jecht, Tina and Ultimecia. Cool teamwork by Tidus and Zidane, the Blitzball star puts his scoring skills to good use. Would’ve loved to see go Esper form on Ultimecia, though. Gabranth and Shantotto are no-shows here, but seeing our old FF favorites go at it is already cool enough as it is.

Just like in a Home TV Shopping ad…but wait, there’s more! Some new screens from 1UP as well, adding to the growing list of Dissidia stuff that you probably keep in a separate folder in your PC, or is that just me?
