In a recent Dissidia press tour helmed by Dissidia: Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Takeshi Arakawa, Final Fantasy Union had the opportunity to ask about a series of topics concerning the forth coming western release of Dissidia.
Furthermore, as Square Enix was happy to cover a wide range of Dissidia topics, we here at Final Fantasy Union are taking the opportunity to launch our 3-Part Dissidia Interview Series.
Dissidia was received extremely well in Japan, with it scoring well with critics and also posting very high sales figures. A few months ago we commented that Tetsuya Nomura said Dissidia II would happen if fans wanted it and at the time there was a lot of mystery shrouded around the comment as it was found in the Dissidia Ultimania guide.
It would make sense for them to make a sequel, if only so they could include more characters. So we took the opportunity to ask Mr. Arakawa his thoughts on the matter and he had the following to say:

His comments suggest that Dissidia II is very much on their minds, and if sales are expected in the West, they will strongly consider making a follow-up.
Come back tomorrow to see the next part of this interview series with Takeshi Arakawa where we talked about downloadable content for Dissidia.
