Too bad I'll never be able to play this. Arcade is dead as fuck here where I live.

So has Square made any comments at all about a console port yet? Even a "we'll see"?

Yep.
Sadly no, but I find it interesting that the teaser Trailer is one of the few videos that SE doesn't have comments disabled.
And several of sites that reported on this have a lot of hype going on in the comments. Even mods had to come in. haha
lol
Is it weird that I thought the actual story was kinda cool?
And at times a little... emotional?
The music was brilliant at the least!
Seeing that there's gonna be actual summon boss fights in FFXV... I'm kinda curious what they'll do with Dissidia...
Probably just CG cutscenes
We ended the cycle!!
A New Cycle of Retcons
Feral Chaos...
ugh

Well I'm really late to this announcement, and just watched the trailer.
On one hand, hurray for a new Dissidia!
On the other hand, they actually made the characters look worse than the PSP versions. I really hate that when SE gets fancy with their graphics, all of the characters get this androgynous look. Like they're all the same frail feminine body with different wigs and outfits. Duodecim was, in my opinion, the best versions of each of the characters included. They kinda had that kingdom hearts stylish vibe. Still have yet to see my man Jecht though, so I"ll just keep watching.

Playing Duodecim for the first time ever on my PSTV right now. This game is... well, I kind of remember why the demo for the first put me off ever buying them. But I wanted to enjoy the fanservice so I'm trying to enjoy it, but I hope this new Arcade version isn't too similar to what we already had.
Based off the 2 dudes we've seen so far, I'd say they've made Cloud look (a bit) more masculine than his Dissidia CG iteration. WoL's just ridiculous in comparison though lol
Correction: 3 dudes
Soooooo gooooooood

Official screenshots
Better grass than FFXV confirmed!
Lol.
Amazing btw. I can't wait for the official PS4 announcement.
Btw a question about ARCADEs in Japan... are they all connected to the internet nowdays and matches happen from all around the country? Or is it like in 90s where you play just against people in the same arena?

looks greatOfficial screenshots
That was my impression from the start too but IIRC Kagari said its probably UE4. I dont think there is any confirmation though.

It could also be FFXIV assets imported into UE4.

Interestingly, Warrior of Light's helmet has a broken horn in one of the renders, but not in the screenshots above:
Barring the few legacy machines that may be hanging around, Japanese arcades are all networked, now. Taito (which Square Enix owns) even has their own NESiCA platform which makes it easier for digital distribution of the games.

the FFWIKI entry for this game has this so far for the staff:
Look who's back if true. haha
I only know that the composer is true. Can anyone verify?

Oh my god Cloud actually looks somewhat like a man this time.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
The character models look amazing, but is anyone else worried about the hyper realistic backgrounds shown so far? I was hoping for more trippy environments like in the previous Dissidias, or new stuff like fighting in Balamb Garden or Luxerion. This looks like they placed the characters in another unrelated game.

The PSP Dissidia games had arenas with destructible parts. The crystals in FF9's Crystal World, The Towers in FF3's World of Darkness, etc.
This is the places where the original DIssida ended and is from one of the original cutscenes in the original Final Fantasy. They're most likely saving all the crazy stages for more character reveals.

It would be cool if they make a PS4 version with a rpg lite overworld and gameplay like the second PSP Dissidia.
Yeah I'm really curious about that.
It looks like he's been through a hell of a battle (which is part of why I'm hoping against hope for a decent story and not just fighting). I actually really enjoyed WoL's characterization and story throughout Duodecim. His last stand with Cosmos for instance was a great character moment
though my favorite is still Cloud
Given that we've only seen one enviornment so far and it's from the ending of Dissidia as well as the beginning of FF I'd say there's not much to worry about yet in that regard.
Chaos Shrine's destructible ceiling was one of my favorites. Perfect for badass finishing moves or chases.
lol
Such an awesome moment

strange to make a reboot and again call it Dissidia, they really couldn't come up with another title?

Dissidia's plot is literally about reboots.

Looks lovely.
What are the odds for a PS4 release?

Inevitable.
This doesn't really look like it could be done on the Vita without major downgrades in visuals.
Is it me or the new Dissidia logo has the same font as the original FF?
