The Love/Hate Relationship With Dissidia: Final Fantasy

One game comes to mind when I think of the 2010s, and the one game I’m thinking about is an unlikely title for some, which was however released in 2008, and in the 3rd Quarter of 2009 outside of Japan.

Author’s Thoughts: Considering the nature of Final Fantasy XV, I thought the game would have something similar, which it does, in a way: when Prompto asks Noctis who does he (the player) want to see more photos of: Ignis, Gladiolus, Prompto, or Noctis himself. If Final Fantasy X was remastered for a second time, I wished they added photo mode. There is one character who does not get enough photo opportunities! ^_^
