New Dissidia Arcade Game (NT)

[ultima espio]

New link to famitsu tweeted by DFFOO's twitter earlier today:
https://app.famitsu.com/20170101_927633/

• 99% complete
• New characters to be added after launch
• More than 20 characters on launch
• All characters shown are added straight away, and "become companions" that are in the story mode.
• Characters have unique abilities, with a set number of uses
• Release date to be revealed in January
• Release in early 2017

I got most of that info from google translate, so it might not be completely accurate.

So if there's more than 20 on launch I'd say that we'll get the 26 featured on the website. There are 49 characters revealed in total:

• Warrior of Light
• Garland
• Firion
• Onion Knight
• Cloud of darkness
• Cecil
• Edge
• Kain
• Yang
• Bartz
• Galuf
• Faris
• Terra
• Shadow
• Setzer
• Kefka
• Cloud
• Tifa
• Yuffie
• Sephiroth
• Squall
• Laguna
• Zidane
• Seifer
• Fujin
• Raijin
• Vivi
• Eiko
• Steiner
• Kuja
• Tidus
• Yuna
• Seymour

• Prishe
• Vaan
• Penelo
• Balthier
• Lightning
• Hope
• Sazh
• Vanille
• Snow
• Y'shtola
• Yda
• Ramza
• Ace

Do we have any idea yet if these new games tie into the existing games, or if they contradict the story? Is there any story yet? I don't expect so, just curious.

 

[Blade]

Again. No one answered my question. Since when has this become an Opera Omnia topic???

I hope they'll add more FFVII characters into this new game at least. I'm dying to see Reno in this mode before they redesign him for the FFVII-Remake. I wanna see Rinoa too.

Well, this game is probably a spin-off story game to make up for the lack of a story-mode in the higher CG game on the Arcade. Maybe they'll give us details for a PS4 version of the arcade game this year too.

Again. No one answered my question. Since when has this become an Opera Omnia topic???

Since it was announced last year and that it's a Dissida game, I guess?

 

[Strangelove]

some other little bits from that article:

- shares the same worldview/setup as the arcade version
- also developed by koei tecmo
- characters aren't obtained through a random draw system, but join as you progress through the story or in events (i read this as meaning they will run limited time events where you can get certain characters)
- most of the characters from the numbered games will appear
- uses dissidia's brave/hp attack system, but the max brave points for each attack are preset
- will include an auto mode (doesn't specify if that's auto mode like record keeper which just does 'attack' every turn, or like mobius ff's full auto mode which will use abilities and such as well)

Dissidia Opera Omnia is an RPG-setting game.

Dissidia FF is a (tentative) fighting-action RPG Arcade game.

It should be obvious, but the cast, story, and release schedule for both is different. Even the expected platform they're on is different.

I said it before, but Opera Omnia should get its own Topic Thread.

Especially since it has separate news updates. Posting Omnia news in the Dissidia thread just gives people false hopes.

New character revealed on January 10.

There's nothing stopping you from making the thread if it's a big deal to you. No one else has cared enough because there's little news for either game, there aren't a lot of details out there for Opera Omnia yet at all, and because none of us are playing the fighting game at the moment since it's only available in Japan.

 

[Blade]

Done and Done.

 

[ultima espio]

This month's character is Kuja, just revealed today.

 

[Dark and Divine]

 

[ForceStealer]

Love the music.

Where did Dissidia get the whole magic orbs thing around Kuja, anyway? Is it...just the magic blasts he used to destroy Terra?

No physical weapon so the orbs were needed I guess.

 

[Lulcielid]

I think they added them to differentiate him from other full-mage characters like Tina to not come as copy paste character since in the original FFIX Kuja only used Ga-Tier Spells and other high tiers like Ultima and Flare.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

At least so far as the PSP games go, I know they said that his Ultima spell was reworked into orbs because they couldn't get it to look right when they tried to make it look like it had in FFIX. Whether this is related to that (e.g. for the sake of consistency across the Dissidia titles), I couldn't say.

Square Enix in-store promo DVD Dissidia/Final Fantasy IV/Dragon Quest Monsters 2

Spamming the thread with this eBay item because I really want somebody here to buy it and rip the Dissidia trailer. It would be cool to have one of the trailers for the original Dissidia in DVD quality, but my wallet doesn't allow that I spend money on a game series that I only have a passing interest in. The sale ends in two days.

 

[Blade]

The recent attack demonstration vid of Kuja suggests 1v1 battles are still possible, even if only as a Training Mode.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Don't know if this had been confirmed previously, but the Dissidia arcade game will have a story mode added to the console port:

[Sprites]

This is amazing!! I hope they do a good job of the story!

Also I was reading that article...that bit about enhancing Kuja's buttocks As if that man really needs it!

 

[Lulcielid]

I wonder if the story will be on the same continuity as the PSP Dissidias or in another one.

 

[Tashasaurous]

No, it's already confirmed that the current Dissidia is a reboot to the previous two games as it was stated already two years ago. So the story for the PS4 version will most likely be completely different compared to the PSP version and it's prequel/remake.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Can you link me somewhere about it being a reboot? I don't remember hearing that.

Or this right here.

The game is based on Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, released for PlayStation Portable, but instead is a reboot, rather than a continuation of the previous Dissidia games' storyline.[2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissidia_Final_Fantasy_(2015_video_game)#cite_note-2

Plus, with the lack of Cosmos and no mention of this game being connected with the previous games would've been obvious, not to mention the change of the logo's style. Series' in anything don't change their logo style unless they're reboots or redubbed(in English at least).

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Thanks. You very well may be right. Still, that article didn't really name a specific source or provide a direct quote, so it's unclear whether that conclusion about it being a reboot was something said at the announcement or just an impression they had felt. It hasn't been mentioned in any interviews in the couple of years since the announcement.

Most articles aren't really that specific these days, and plus, the word "Statement" could mean anything or just putting people into endless loops for a decade. But your welcome.

Plus, I'm not even sure if a PS4 port will ever happen.

At least I was right about the upcoming Pokemon film being a reboot as well, especially since the redesign of Ash's hat giving away that evidence, it was plainly obvious about that.
