just read the blog
if this is what you are basing its canonicity on then i would look elsewhere
“Gaiden”(side story or spin-off) made the game feel too distant, and we wanted to set the right tone for DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY; it isn’t a numbered title, but has just as much spirit as a main story.
this is the only reference he made
Even if that were the only reference it would prove it canon. Seeing as how Gaiden are spin off stories that may or may not be canon, this statement means the game is definitely canon because making it a spin off with ambiguous canon status would make the game too distant. They wanted to make a game that was part of the main series.
However, Takeshi Arakawa, the game's director, also said this on the blog:
"As a rule we were extremely careful to treat DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY as a genuine entry in the FINAL FANTASY series."
So the producer says it isn't a non canon spin off and the director says it's a genuine entry in the main series. Even without these there's still the fact that Dissidia is to FF I as Crisis Core is to FF VII, and the Ultimania speaks of it as canon, going so far as to say how it ties in to the other plots.
"As a rule we were extremely careful to treat DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY as a genuine entry in the FINAL FANTASY series."Thanks for this.
This actually implies it's not canon. You never say this about your own child:
"I treat my child like my own child", for instance. This implies, they're treating it as a geniune entry for quality purposes, not for canon.
Awww, little Scream is trying to talk with the big kids again. Sorry champ, but all the creators and all the king's men have said it's canon.
Your little opinion means as much to this discussion as a bacon cheeseburger means to Hasidic Jew. You don't even think the Ultimania's are right when it comes to FF VII, you can't be expected to handle even more advanced concepts. 🙂
Besides, silly goose, when people make a sequel to a movie they say they're careful to treat it as a real addition to the franchise. When the producers of Freddy vs Jason say they're careful to treat it as both a genuine Nightmare and Friday film, they're saying it's canon and they want it to be faithful to earlier standards.

But it needs to be canon in a game.You know what we call feats that exist in stories but not in games? Fanfiction.
All I need to know is this: Is Supernova a canon move in the game or not?
In Crisis Core, you can participate in a mini-game where you are asked questions to gauge your knowledge of Sephiroth.
"What is Sephiroths most powerful spell?"
If you answer Supernova, you are correct. (NOTE: This is talking about Pre-Nib Sephiroth)
'Couple this with the fact that Supernova has been explained and said to be a spell of his in several Ultimanias means that yes he does indeed have this spell and it does indeed hit the target\s with the power of a super nova.

Actually Sephiroth's fan club in Crisis Core says that Sephiroth uses a full bottle of shampoo and conditioner on his hair daily. I think Link is referencing that.
Also, Supernova is clearly not all it is cracked up to be. Cloud can tank it, and if he can tank it, so can pretty much everyone else.
