Dissidia Final Fantasy ARCADE ANNOUNCED! [Update: Trailer + Info]

All main characters will get in by default. Same with all villains (hopefully). Dissidia had 28 characters, but you'd think that they would need a lot more considering it's 3v3. Get ready for Cloud, Advent Children Cloud, and Kingdom Hearts Cloud as separate characters.

Wait, what? This is going to be 3v3????

What other info am I missing? There's nothing in the OP.
 
Warrior of Light is too played out imo, especially after it's usage in FF14.

I think he's a good representative,neutral character.

And the implementation of his design is damn good. So why not! :)

here is comparison with PS3 tech demo. Wish the Dissidia trailer quality was higher.

Goes to show how that 2005 Tech demo was such bogus.

We're barely reaching this quality in real time about ten years later and on significantly better hardware!

Also I like the Tech Demo version a lot more.
 
Nice looking.

Looks safe to presume that the "3D Arena Fighter" is going to (continue to) be the go-to genre for arcade games. This is actually going to be SE's 3rd game in this vein, if we include "School of Ragnarok".
 
Eh, I feel like it's best to have him be the center.

Dissidia needs a "leader" of sorts out of all the heroes to represent pure light. Yeah he's pretty much a 2D character but he's not badly designed. Having another FF character as that lead would seem to biased a choice.

It felt like they were trying to push Lightning for a while there as the leader of light (in Dissidia 012). Was definitely a big negative for me in that game.
 
The 3x3 thing and clear AoE attacks give me hope that this will abandon the interesting-in-concept-but-not-actually-good Brave stat thingy in favor of just having all attacks do HP damage.

I heard somewhere Cloud's model from the Tech Demo was pulled out of the CG Movie (Advent Children).

So yeah, it's harder for games to compete against assets that were originally built at higher resolution of detail.
 
Maybe I'm not looking at the same thing everyone else is but that Cloud doesn't look better to my eyes than the AC one or the tech demo. It seems kinda plastic although that could be due to the quality of the trailer.

Oh, yeah. That kind of system would just not work in a game like this.

More than likely, they'll just have another type of system in place, though. Probably closer to Gundam Vs./Gunslinger Stratos' "Team Life Gauges".

He's basically necessary in the role he plays in Dissidia because at this point FF1 is really the only FF game in which the protagonists have basically no characterization OR context. Gotta give him something.
 
I still wish they would make a straight up Final Fantasy Smash clone. I want to see Terra, Golbez, Yuna, and Vivi fight in Midgar and throw Cactaurs at each other.
 
Why would they just remove her? She was a character in duodecim, it would be stupid if they got rid of her.

The Lightning hate on the internet is so damn stupid.

Point out where I said remove her. I'll wait.

They don't need to stick her in every trailer there is, they can use other characters. Hell, I'm surprised Terra even got into that teaser over someone like say Squall who is a more popular mainstay.

As for the hate, yeah I don't like her character at all, and it's not because the internet told me to. Sue me.
 
It's kind of shocking to see no Yuna and Squall since they're extremely popular. I really want to see the designs.

Agreed. Count me in as thinking that making it 2D is inherently better for making a game balanced (and wishing they had the freedom to go totally gonzo with it).

The whole point of that is so they can have future trailers that trickle out the super-popular and/or surprising characters.

To be fair, there's no need for them to blow their load on the first teaser. Depending on when the arcade game launches, they've got plenty to showcase other trailers to keep the hype train going.
 
By the Knights of the Round I can not wait to see Omnislash V5 in this!

Cloud main all day erry day
Bartz and Cecil are tied for second though

I wonder if it will have a solid story mode. Or of there's a port, is it possible they might do what they did with Duodecim and attach the previous stories? So much potential here. Come on SONY!!
 
Agreed. Count me in as thinking that making it 2D is inherently better for making a game balanced (and wishing they had the freedom to go totally gonzo with it).

If it's truly somebody like ByKing (Gundam Vs.) attached to this game, I'd be trusting it to be pretty balanced, anyway. They're a team of ex-Capcom guys who know their shit.
 
Holy Fucking Shit, didn't expected that, and it looks glorious!
If it ever comes out on consoles, i'd play the shit out of it.

Also, if Noctis gets playable, man OH MAN i'm going to rape everyone with my bazillion blades.
 
Seems cool, but as someone who plays alot of fighters i dont think im too interested.... it seems so much like the BZ/Naruto arcade fighters.... not my taste
I'm on the same boat. However, I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan so I'd like to see how this game pans out. Hopefully better than the huge disappointment (mechanics wise) that is Pokken.
 
I want to be incredibly excited for this, but it's hard to be knowing it will never come out here without some sort of port. Which is certainly possible, but yeah.

If it helps, Dissidia plays very differently to the Naruto and DBZ games with many different play styles depending on the character, combos to learn, counters, etc. It's not exactly competitive fighting tournament material (yet), but it's got a lot going for it. Hopefully this game is even more competitive.

There have been online tournaments going on for years.
