    Any games like Sparking - Raging Blast?

    Sorry if this is kind of offtopic but I was wondering if there are games that are like Sparking and Raging Blast?
    You know:

    Alternative fighting game in a 3D environment
    Being able to fly or at least go high in the sky
    Over-the-top fighting, preferably with combos

    So far I can only think of 2 franchises who are somewhat like that: Zone of The Enders and Dissidia but I already got those.

    Are there anymore games that meet these requirements?

    Yeah... I can't think of other games either.

    I'm pretty shocked this concept isn't used more. Surely I'm not the only one who likes it?
    Then again, the Raging Blast series didn't really sell well, neither did Zone of The Enders. Dissidia did, but that's most likely because of the Final Fantasy name.

    Dissidia is what got me into the FF series.
    I got it BECAUSE it had the same over-the-shoulder style as Tenkaichi.

    I see. I got into the games because I like Final Fantasy and it looked like Sparking - Raging Blast. Was pretty much my dream game.
    I just wish Duodecim had more Final Fantasy XIII characters, Sazh and Barthandelus would've been good.

    I guess another game that is a little like this, is Bayonetta. Lots of combos, 3D environment and there is some aerial combat here and there (not much at all though).

    One of the best games of 2010 but sadly the game doesn't really meet the requirements as much as I'd like.
    It's depressing... there won't be a new Zone of The Enders or Dissidia. The hypothetical Raging Blast 3 will be the last hurrah of this concept, with nothing to pass the torch to.

    Unless there are games I forget?

    Hm, which is a shame, I really wish there would be a third Dissidia but it would be impossible to add to the story because of what they did with the 12th cycle and 13th cycle.. though I suppose they could do the 1st cycle... I want to play as Vivi...or Freya... anyways. What about the upcoming Final Fantasy Versus XIII?

    I can already tell Versus won't have the frantic feel I'm looking for. Besides, I doubt you will be able to fly and there will be a lot of combos.
    I will get Versus though, but I consider it something entirely different than Sparking - Raging Blast/Zone of The Enders/Dissidia.

    Well, I know it is supposed to have gameplay liked kingdom hearts but is styled like Advent Children.

    That's true. When I first saw the combat of Versus it instantly reminded me of Kingdom Hearts, not surprising considering the creator of Kingdom Hearts is the director.
    It's also supposed to have sandbox elements, in the sense that there's a whole world for you to explore like the world map in the previous Final Fantasy games but more alive.

    Though it takes an extremely long time, I don't even think they will make 2012 at this rate.
