Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

The main reason to buy this Legacy Edition remains the included copy of Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy. The bonus content does not replace that game; it accompanies it with downloadable costumes for Squall and Tifa, giving returning fans a small cosmetic reason to choose this version.

That makes the decision fairly straightforward. If you want the game itself and care about alternate character looks, the costume downloads are a welcome extra. If your priority is simply getting a PSP copy as cheaply as possible, the special packaging and collectibles may not matter enough to justify seeking out this edition.

For a closer look at the game included here, see the Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy entry. The Legacy Edition is best understood as a collector-focused route into that release, with a few bonuses that reward enthusiasm rather than changing the core purchase.

Graphics

The six character lithograph art prints are the visual centerpiece of the package. Unlike a downloadable extra that can disappear into a menu, these give you actual Final Fantasy artwork to keep, while the special package makes the edition look more distinctive on a shelf.

Squall and Tifa also receive downloadable costumes, adding another visual touch for fans who have favorites among the cast.

Story

The Legacy Edition’s story is really the story of collecting: a European release assembled for fans who wanted more than the disc alone. The special package turns a familiar game purchase into a small Final Fantasy keepsake.

The lithographs carry most of that collector appeal. Six separate character prints give the box a more personal, fan-oriented flavor than a bundle made up entirely of digital codes.

The voucher for 50% off the original Final Fantasy on PlayStation Store adds a nice archival angle. It connects this PSP package to an earlier entry in the series and gives you a discounted excuse to revisit one of Final Fantasy’s foundational releases.

Overall Experience

This is a good collector’s edition because its extras are easy to value. You get the game, two costume downloads, six physical prints, and a worthwhile discount voucher; none of it feels wildly unrelated to the Final Fantasy audience it is courting.

The lithographs are the deciding factor. Digital costumes are pleasant bonuses, but the prints and special package are what make this feel like an edition you would deliberately keep rather than simply a code bundle with a fancier name.

Pick it up if you are a Dissidia or Final Fantasy collector who enjoys display pieces and wants a more complete-feeling PSP release. For everyone else, the standard game is the more direct purchase; Legacy earns its name through the physical extras, not through a different game.
