Naturally, Dissidia is made for FF fans young and old; those of us who have our favorite games in the series and main characters within them. But the crossing over extends beyond the playable roster. Dissidia is positively blanketed with references to all 12 Final Fantasy games, from the background music, to retro iconography (i.e., 8-bit sprites), Moogles, and cameos from supporting characters who present the game's tutorial texts, even if they are just in the form of their old portraits. Certain matchups even have characters comment on one another before the fight (says Onion Knight to Tidus: "Don't you ever get tired of laughing?") -- hell, even the ending cinema closes on an iconic reference. There isn't one part of this game that doesn't go for your fanboy/fangirl jugular.
There's plenty more to Dissidia than just button-mashing, but if that's all you expect from it, then it's not going to be as satisfying to mow down the same characters over and over. Most of the game's enjoyment comes from building up characters over time through battling and buying, a practice that should be right up the average RPG player's alley. "Is it a fighter? Is it an RPG?" Well, it can be both, and still be fun.
