By Bradamantium The story is the biggest incentive to buying the game but it might only be for fans of both the Crystal Chronicles universe and cutesy girly humor. I honestly found myself laughing at it more frequently than I laughed during Bowser's Inside Story. It's definitely cute and funny but it requir...

By Jon(noreply@blogger.com) Ridiculous as it sounds, Dissidia: Final Fantasy contains an actual story.
