if I will be able to use the prince to kick the goddess ass I am in!

 

[Perfo]

Any clue on who might be developing this and on what engine it seems to be running? Also Ishimoto linked this on his fb profile so I guess he being the composer is a given.

 

[Kyoufu]

looks fun... but honestly... what the hell is going on with the final fantasy franchise? there's so many offshoots being made i don't know what's what.

It seems square-enix is hell bent on milking the franchise dry before FF XV is released.

They've been making spin-offs for a long time now, it's nothing new. FF Tactics, Crystal Chronicles and so on. Not a fan of it myself as it only dilutes the brand but I won't lie, fanservice titles like Dissidia and DQ Heroes do make a lot of sense for them and they do interest me.

 

[JehutyGR]

Maybe this is the FF spin off Verendus mentioned. Just waiting to be announced after type 0 releases.

 

[mclem]

Only thing we know so far is the inclusion of a FF14 character, Y'shtola.

Gesundheit.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

My guess? Same team and engine as Gunslinger Stratos 2.

Yea I think the only thing we know is ishimoto is doing the music.


I thought it would be Unreal Engine 4 but the trailer didn't have UE logo so I don't know. Maybe it's because it was teaser trailer.

 

[Carlius]

that looks like the final fantasy XIV engine, maybe a glympse at what dx11 could look like?

 

[The End]

That looks rad as hell, but the chances of actually seeing that in an arcade in the US are slim to none


I'm all over the PS4 port though

 

[KAL2006]

I expect a Arcade only release with no proper story mode. Followed by a PS4/Xbox One port with a ton of features as well as a story mode.

 

[Royale68]

Sold.
Where can I buy the arcade?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Is it me or do the animations look a lot stiffer and slower than before? Holy takes a fuckton of time to come out.

 

[AZUMIKE]

So...2017 PS4 release?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I expect a Arcade only release with no proper story mode. Followed by a PS4/Xbox One port with a ton of features as well as a story mode.

That's what I'm thinking too. No Cosmos or Chaos in the game's logo is strange :s

But then again they did say "reboot" so maybe there will be a story even if it's just in the form of very short dialogues as in Street Fighter.

 

[Seven Force]

I expect a Arcade only release with no proper story mode. Followed by a PS4/Xbox One port with a ton of features as well as a story mode.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll probably be like this (Whatever plot the game has will likely be reduced to Arcade Mode intros endings in the Arcade release). GGXrd more or less did the same thing so far this gen.

 

[dramatis]

I haven't played Dissidia much, but the animations do feel kind of stiff. Probably just needs some more polish?

 

[Lifejumper]

2016 release ps4 I believe.

 

[Forkball]

Honestly, I wish more companies did fanservice games like this. Nintendo has Smash, Square has Dissidia and Theatrhythm, Sony has... Playstation All-Stars. Not many companies have franchises rich enough to pull from though.

But seriously though, Final Fantasy Smash. The game practically makes itself. The stages, music, items... it's all so obvious. The Smash balls are limit breaks. SEE HOW EASY THAT IS?

 

[Lady Siara]

So how many games are Square currently working on right now? FFXV, KH3, this, Gunslinger Stratos and Mevius? Don't they still have to localize Explorers too?

Either way, this is great and I'm glad to see the series return. I just hope I can play it in the next five years.

 

[Raynes]

And I'm IN... soooo IN !

Any chance for a characters customization if this ever was ported to consoles?

FFXIV ARR's characters customization was fantastic and I want to create my own in this game.

Edit:

This new version of Cloud is very beautiful... if FFVII ever got remade they need to use this style for it's characters, better than the realistic ones in the PS3 Tech Demo.

( ;_; I know it won't happen but just let me dream a little please ;_; ).

That doesn't suit FFVII's feel at all. Cloud does not need to look more pretty.

 

[dramatis]

Everyone seems to be clamoring for their favorite characters. I rather hope they would choose characters that might lend to interesting playstyles instead.

Some of the magic Y'shtola looks like:

Blizzard II
Aero II
Fluid Aura
Holy

What the hell is Blizzard II doing in that WHM dps rotation? Boot it.

 

[Rising_Hei]

that looks like the final fantasy XIV engine, maybe a glympse at what dx11 could look like?

It looks more like luminious engine to me (the version FFXV is using)

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Either way, this is great and I'm glad to see the series return. I just hope I can play it in the next five years.

Gunslinger Stratos is developed by Byking and I don't think Explorers is localized inhouse.

Looks fine to me. I don't think he looks particularly more "pretty", and I like that his eyes are really bright. On the left image there isn't anything special about his eyes despite the story making a big deal out of "Mako eyes".

 

[orioto]

Oh my i wake up and see that..

Super hyped, all those models.. I'm just a little skeptical with art direction for now. It's kinda harsh (the light, the background), and doesn't have the soft/artwork look of the psp versions.
I get that they're probably using modern engine and want something not too far from FFXV now. But still i don't like when i get a background that looks like something from a us pc rpg in my FF.

 

[ArchedThunder]

That doesn't suit FFVII's feel at all. Cloud does not need to look more pretty.

I'd rather they make him more pretty than more emo since he wasn't even emo in FFVII. Besides, he's always been pretty.

 

[Cynar]

I still play the original games. Please dear god release this on ps4 with online play.

 

[DarknessTear]

That trailer is so hype, as is the music.

AHHHHH I WANNA PLAY IT BUT NO ARCADES IN MURRICA

Spoiler

or at least Ohio...

 

[Kain]

OH MY FUCKING GOD SCREW XV I WANT THIS IN MY VEINS NOW

OK, now for the wishlist:

- Lots of stages. I want lots of stages with dynamic environment (let me dream, please)

- More than two characters for franchise.

- Zack. Zack. ZACK.

- Zidane with the double sword thing, not the daggers.

- Anyone from XII but Vaan. Asche, Balthier and Gabranth would be dope

- Freiya. Even if she is a palette swap of Kain, but we need Freiya.

 

[Kuraudo]

I'd rather they make him more pretty than more emo since he wasn't even emo in FFVII. Besides, he's always been pretty.

Yeah, it's canon that he's prettier than both Aeris and Tifa.

 

[Kyari]

Cloud looking decidedly less emo than usual in that trailer.

Y'shtola Final Fantasy XIV representing

 

[Sciortino]

NO FKN WAY. I did not expect to wake up to this kind of news... Must resist port pegging :O

 

[Seven Force]

Everyone seems to be clamoring for their favorite characters. I rather hope they would choose characters that might lend to interesting playstyles instead.

They did a really good job with that when choosing the Dissidia 012 newcomers. A lot of neat playstyles came out of that bunch.

As long as Cloud is in, you can say goodbye to Zack, at least as a separate character. He could be made an alternate skin though, like Edea was for Ultimecia iirc.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

They could maybe make him differ from Cloud based on Crisis Core gameplay elements.

 

[Yazuka]

You. I like you! More Zack is always good!

 

[Golnei]

Any clue on who might be developing this and on what engine it seems to be running? Also Ishimoto linked this on his fb profile so I guess he being the composer is a given.

Duodecim had multiple arrangers, so I don't think Ishimoto will be the sole contributor for this game either, even if he ends up being responsible for all the original themes.

Cloud never actually possessed Zack's body like Ultimecia did for Edea, so I don't think that's likely - incorporating him as a clone character could work, however. They could probably give Ultimecia a Rinoa costume using the same rationale; but the proportions could look a little off...

 

[Manu]

OH GOD
OH MAN
OH GOD OH MAN

We need this to come out on consoles too. Please bring it to PS4/XBO.

 

[Armigr]

Nope they ruined it with those idiotic bolts on his shoulder pad!

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but those bolts have been there since his first appearance!

 

[Eric the Red]

And here I didn't think I'd have to see Lightning again. It never ends. In 1000 years, although her origins will be lost to antiquity, everyone knows that on Dec 25th Lightning descends your chimney to give presents to all the little boys and girls. If however your parents name one of you Snow for some reason, she will punch you in the face.

 

[Son Of D]

As long as Cloud is in, you can say goodbye to Zack, at least as a separate character. He could be made an alternate skin though, like Edea was for Ultimecia iirc.

I think you could easily add Zack as a semi-clone. Like he can be the Ken to Cloud's Ryu. They have similarities but aren't exactly the same.

And here I didn't think I'd have to see Lightning again. It never ends.

Are people really surprised that Lightning is in this? I mean it's okay to dislike her but complaining that the lead character of a FF game is in a FF crossover is really strange.

 

[Forkball]

Imagine if Sakurai direct Dissidia.

Cloud
Advent Children Cloud
Zack
Toon Cloud
Female Cloud
Dark Cloud
Sephiroth as Cloud clone

 

[Jailer of Hope]

That doesn't suit FFVII's feel at all. Cloud does not need to look more pretty.

Eh, I like the new look. He looks more like a unique game character instead of a Japanese guy cosplaying as Cloud.

 

[Seven Force]

The only way I'd be okay with Zack being a separate character is if he got a moveset that drew almost exclusively from Crisis Core. If not that, a Cloud alt suits him just fine.

 

[LuuKyK]

So you didt expect a main character from a mainline game to be featured in a game that is known to be a fanservice one that features the main characters from all the main games of the series?

 

[Eric the Red]

No of course not. It's a general side thought of having to see her so many times after her expiration date. It's worth another dissidia of course

 

[Haeralis The BRave]

Imagine if Sakurai direct Dissidia.

Cloud
Advent Children Cloud
Zack
Toon Cloud
Female Cloud
Dark Cloud
Sephiroth as Cloud clone

*dead*

Do arcade games ever make the jump to home consoles?

 

[Kain]

Yep, Zack as a Cloud clone with different voice and a couple distinct moves is all we need.

 

[Armigr]

Do arcade games ever make the jump to home consoles?

Almost all major fighting games start off as arcade games, so yeah!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

*dead*

Do arcade games ever make the jump to home consoles?

Of course Fighting games usually debut on arcades. Tekken , Guilty Gear etc etc

 

[Kikujiro]

And design-wise Lighting is great.
