New Dissidia Arcade Game (NT)

[Theozilla]

They've pretty much just confirmed that he's coming, and fully confirmed that the 012 cast take priority over new ones. So they must be the season pass 6 -Gilgamesh, Tifa, Laguna, Yuna, Prishe - but who is the last one? If Gabranth and Feral Chaos aren't coming back, who will it be?

Here's an image of Edea too:

Perhaps Gabranth will still be part of the initial 6 DLC characters and Nomura’s comment just means Gabranth will be one of the last of the 6 to be added? (since IIRC the 6 characters aren’t being released all at once but are being staggered out once every two months?)

I'm really hoping Gilgamesh and Gabranth return. Those guys helped define this series.

I refuse to believe other FF Villains aren't being considered, XIII and XV included.

Siefer, Caius, and Ardyn should definitely not be ignored, Ajora (Tactics) as well.

They more than likely will add more villains somewhere, if there's going to be over 60, and we have 28 at launch +6, that's 34. At least 26 left, and I can't imagine them all being heroes.

My concern with them adding characters is them adding in characters that are too similar to ones already established. It'll be so boring if they all end up being more or less clones of each other.

 

[JechtShotMK9]

I like Gabranth, but how exactly did he define the series?

 

[ultima espio]

Apparently the Japanese ultimate version comes with a calendar:

You could argue that Bartz, Ramza, and Vaan are clones already, but that's splitting hairs.

I think there's plenty to consider with every character to make them unique.

Figure, if Terra, Kefka, and Kuja each can cast "Ultima" as a spell, they were at least "very creative" in the way the spell was used. It may be the same spell, but only Kuja uses it the way that we normally expect it to be used.

Even comparing Noctis with Firion or Gilgamesh isn't entirely like comparing Apples to Apples here.

Oh lets be honest, we care more about fan service than we do about balance.

There’s going to be a 2nd anniversary livestream on the 26th at 8.00pm JST. They promised ‘new information’.

Hopefully we’ll see the remaining VIII,XV,0 and Tactics stages before release.

Here's all the villains in a similar artwork to the one we saw of the others:

 

[Blade]

These CG posters will never beat Amano's older illustrations though.

Larger ver of the villains poster:

I'm sure even higher resolutions will be online eventually.

 

[Tetsujin]

That's the highest resolution, same as the one from the press site: https://press.na.square-enix.com/products/p363/dissidia-final-fantasy-nt

The one there is PNG at lower compression though.

Hm, weird I had looked, I didn't see it.

 

[Still Unnamed]

^It’s there. On the page Tetsujin linked to, click on the "ARTWORK" tab and select the "Villains Key Art" picture. Here it is directly: https://press.na.square-enix.com/fn/All_Villains_Normal.png?shared/showfile.asp?r=2017&pk=0&a=full&i=2308&f=All_Villains_Normal%2Epng

Yeah I saw it. I just didn't see it when I did a quick check initially, before I posted the Twitter hosted image.

 

[Cloud_S]

Yes, I know. I saw it. I had missed it when I did an initial quick check of the Press site (before posting the twitter hosted image).

 

[ultima espio]

I completely forgot about the livestream today. Here's what I've found:

The FFVIII stage is Edea's Orphanage flower field:

Includes the present flowery version and the future ruined version

A lot of alternate costumes, including Noctis. The alts have their own colour variations too:

[Blade]

Heh, I KNEW Nomura was holding out on us! So what are those? IME cards? Will full body PNGs appear again?

 

[ultima espio]

Yeah, it's on the wiki
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Noctis_Lucis_Caelum/Dissidia

Music from Final Fantasy XV was also chosen and arranged as well for dissidia.

• Stand Your Ground (Arrange)
• Veiled in Black (Arrange)
• The Fight is On! (Arrange)
• Careening into Danger (Arrange)
• APOCALYPSIS NOCTIS (Arrange)

 

[Blade]

Do they have Ramza and the other newcomers in fullsize Nomura-style too?

 

[ultima espio]

Yeah all of them, but for some reason there's only chest upwards for Y'shtola.

Aerith never got any full body art in 012 either, just her face.

 

[Lulcielid]

Opening movie.

 

[Ryuman]

Bahhhhh, it looks so goood! As expected, I suppose.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Pretty cool!

Doesn't quite measure up to the original Dissidia's opening, but still pretty awesome.
