A new Dissidia Final Fantasy game is on the way.
Dissidia Final Fantasy brings together the largest collection of Final Fantasy characters ever in a fighting game where players can choose their allegiance between good and evil. The first such game was released in 2008, and it returned a Great 8.9/10. From what we can tell from the new teaser site set up by publisher Square Enix, though, this is a “Team Boss Battle Arena” that will only be coming to iOS and Android mobile devices.
While Square Enix plans to tell us more on October 14, fans have already been scouring the mini-site, which one suggesting the silhouetted roster teaser image could include key Final Fantasy characters like Edward or Kain, Terra, Warrior of Light, Lightning, Tinoa, Cloud, and more, all “redesigned characters with modern outfits.”
We also can see five images of the game’s gorgeous environment art on the website, which we’ve embedded below for you:
Reaction is mixed. For instance, in a Reddit thread dedicated to the new game, one unimpressed player advised: “no one join. Let this game burn in the hell of EoS after one month.” Another thread called “Excited about new Dissidia news just to see it’s more mobile game nonsense” says: “Please Square even just a modern port of Duodecim so that I don’t have to see another live service slop you keep insisting just so you can shut down its servers again for the nth time.”
Not everyone’s so pessimistic, though — “if it is half as good as Dissidia Opera Omnia, I’m ready to open the wallet,” wrote this fan.
Whatever it is, we don’t have to wait long to hear more: Square Enix said we’ll find out more at 3am PT/6am ET on October 14 — you’ll be able to watch the reveal on YouTube.
