0

I remember when Dissidia: Final Fantasy first came out on PSP. I recall liking it, but I never thought it would still keep going till this very day with other iterations on Japanese arcades. Square Enix has announced that the Team Ninja Japanese arcade game Dissidia: Final Fantasy is now coming to home consoles as Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT on PS4 in early 2018. The game’s Amazon page has a ton of info in this new version of the arcade game:

Combining unparalleled visuals, seamless gameplay, and your favorite characters from the past 30 years of the franchise, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT welcomes all gamers with three-versus-three battles and the series renowned “bravery combat system”. While aiming for supremacy, call forth familiar summons like Ifrit, Shiva, and Odin to aid you and your party! Square Enix is collaborating with Team Ninja, one of the world’s leading developers in the fighting game genre, to bring Dissidia Final Fantasy NT to life.

More details from a Square Enix Live Stream

  • NT means multiple things, such as “New Trail,” “New Tale” and “New Tournament.”
  • The PS4 game will have a story mode that’s not in the arcade version.
  • You don’t need to fight against others. Multiplayer is not a thing that will be forced on you. You can play the game as a wholly single player experience.
  • The game has the same 3-on-3 battles as the arcade version, but there are also different settings original to the PS4 version. This includes additional battle rules, an offline single-player mode, and special friend-only rooms.
  • The arcade version will always receive updates first.
  • There won’t be any crossover between the arcade and PS4 versions.
  • The developer’s are thinking of maybe letting arcade players pass over some data to the PS4 version.
  • The game will be playable at E3 2017.

It’s been a long while since I first played a version of the game on PSP, so I guess now it’s the best to get back into it and experience all of the changes and improvement over years of this game existing. I will look forward to it! Feel free to check out the screenshots below!
