We have been covering our most wanted characters for Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade, a brand new entry in the Dissidia series featuring a 3 on 3 battle system currently on arcades and rumored for a PlayStation 4 announcement some time soon. Our first and second set of picks (which you can find here and here ) were evaluated by our staff using a variety of factors, including character popularity, title popularity, unique move sets, and roster diversity.
However, for the last part of this series, we decided to ask you, the Nova Crystallis reader what characters you would like to see in Dissidia. The top choices are presented below.
Vincent – Final Fantasy VII
Vincent from Final Fantasy VII won the top spot in our reader’s choice poll. The optional character in Final Fantasy VII grew in fame and prominence due to his relevance to the overall story’s lore, his vampire like character design, and serious personality. So popular was Vincent that he even got his own title in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, a hero in one of the few third person shooter’s that Square Enix has attempted (a game I’d personally like to see another attempt at, even as a port).
Like our pick of Balthier, the enigmatic Vincent would add an additional gun user to the Dissidia roster. However, unlike our choice, Vincent would bring an even more interesting battle element to the series, his limit break ability to transform into various powerful beasts. From the Galiant Beast to the Death Gigas, Chaos, and beyond, Vincent’s different transformations could add some much needed versatility and a frenzy based play-style to the character.
Celes – Final Fantasy VI
Celes would serve as an excellent compliment (and foil) to Final Fantasy VI’s Terra and would be a welcome additional female hero to the cast. Her independent personality could add some much needed humor and charm to cut scenes. As a Magitek, or Rune Knight, Celes would bring a new job not represented in Dissidia. A move such as Runic could add some interesting defensive mechanics to the game, allowing Celes to block or repel magical attacks, while her variety of weapons, including maces and daggers, could give her some versatile offensive abilities.
Caius – Final Fantasy XIII-2
A polarizing villain in the Final Fantasy series, Caius took the number three spot in our character poll. Caius, best known for his time traveling capabilities and foil to sisters Serah and later Lightning. His popularity likely stems from the character’s complexity as a tragic villain – forced to perform his duty as a Pulse fal’cie. More interesting than the character himself, would be his play-style, incorporating Caius’ ability to teleport with short range sword combos and long range magic.
Auron – Final Fantasy X
Auron has been a favorite in the Final Fantasy fandom since his introduction in 2001. The stern and experienced warrior who serves as a mentor to the protagonist Tidus, already a prominent character in the series, is known for being one of the more overpowered heroes in the Final Fantasy X universe. Interestingly, Auron has a lot of de-buffing moves, such as armor break, which decrease the defense of various types of enemies. This could prove to be an interesting mechanic to introduce within Dissidia, the ability to break an enemies defenses in order to deal a more substantial amount of damage. Furthermore, Auron’s limit breaks, which involve the combinations of button presses, can easily be incorporated into Dissidia.
Runner-Ups: Seifer (Final Fantasy VIII), Ardyn (Final Fantasy XV), Faris (Final Fantasy V).
With that, our Dissidia character series is complete. Square Enix has been announcing characters periodically through 2016 and plans to continue to do so through 2017 as well. The hope is that a mostly fully fleshed out roster is established before the eventual console versions arrive internationally.
Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade is currently available exclusively on Arcades in Japan with a rumored console release announcement some time in 2017.
Dissidia Final Fantasy‘s arcade version will feature a story mode along with other additions when it transitions to console in the future. Speaking with Weekly Famitsu, producer Ichirou Hazama and director Takeo Kujiraoka shared an update on the game’s progress and why it was absent from the recent Final Fantasy 30th anniversary celebrations.
“If we look at the most recent announcement opportunity, I was on stage at the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Opening Ceremony,” said Hazama to Famitsu (via Gematsu) “And it did not appear. In short, we are currently unable to ready anything that has enough value to meet everyone’s expectations. Many users are expecting a story for the console version, which we are of course preparing. However, the focus of the game is battles and that has not changed. We will further enhance other elements as well, which will take a little bit more time.”
Because they wouldn’t just be satisfied delivering the base arcade version alone, Kujiraoka noted they’re also looking at enthusiasm for e-Sports and the possibility of moving in that direction. “If we can export it to the world as a high-proficiency, competitive fighting tool, while also an enjoyable team battle Final Fantasy, it might even rise up as an e-Sports event,” Kujiraoka said. “If that happens, then next will be a global tournament, right? I can’t say too much, but I want to use these sorts of ambitions to make Dissidia Final Fantasy an even better game.”
At the end of the interview, Hazama stressed that development on the console release won’t have a negative impact on the arcade version – which sees updates on a regular basis in Japan.
“I want to spread the amount of enthusiasm for Dissidia Final Fantasy even more,” Hazama said. “In receiving the opinions of players, I get the feeling that people are becoming gradually more interested in the game, so I want to deliver it to even more people. While we’ll also be talking about the console version in the future, it won’t result in disappointing arcade users, as both can be sufficiently enjoyed. And there won’t be any delay in updates as a result the console version. We’re going to continue running at full speed and are taking on various challenges, so please support us this year as well!”
Square Enix is preparing to host another Japanese live stream focusing on Dissidia Final Fantasy for arcades next. Starting at 9PM JST (7AM EST) on February 14, fans can tune in via YouTube to catch information on the game’s latest update scheduled for February 16.
Producer Ichirou Hazama and director Takeo Kujiraoka will be on hand to share all the news.
Recently the pair sat down with Famitsu to speak at length about the console version of Dissidia Final Fantasy.
“I want to spread the amount of enthusiasm for Dissidia Final Fantasy even more,” Hazama said. “In receiving the opinions of players, I get the feeling that people are becoming gradually more interested in the game, so I want to deliver it to even more people. While we’ll also be talking about the console version in the future, it won’t result in disappointing arcade users, as both can be sufficiently enjoyed. And there won’t be any delay in updates as a result the console version.”
Epischer Trailer für ne scheisshässliche Höhle
Square Enix will be releasing another character for Dissidia Final Fantasy for arcades. They have shared the release date but no hints to who it may be.
According to Kotaku, Square Enix has shared the release date to when they will announce a new character for their arcade fighting game. The official announcement will take place during a Niconico live stream on March 7 at 21:00 in Japan. While it is still unsure who they plan to release, fans should expect some new gameplay as well as an introduction video for the upcoming fighter.
That aside, the studio has yet to reveal any new information Kotaku. However, Kotaku reports that they have some ideas they would like to implement for a possible future release. Game producer, Ichiro Hazama, and Director, Takeo Kujiraoka, revealed some of the things they would like to include.
In line with this, Hazama claimed that they are already working on a possible plot for a console version. On the other hand, they are also looking into the competitive e-Sports gaming scene for the title. Kujiraoka stated that if they can manage to deliver the title as a "high-proficiency competitive fighting tool," it might establish itself as a global tournament in the future.
Square Enix has actually been working on the idea of trying to establish a specific title in the e-Sports scene. Recently, they released Flame x Blaze which is an MOBA-esque game similar to that of League of Legends or Dota 2. However, it is worth noting that the said title is only limited to mobile devices until other proper e-Sports games.
Only time will tell if Square Enix will plan to pursue the competitive scene in gaming and if Dissidia Final Fantasy will be the official platform they plan to use. As of now, the company still seems to be busy trying to introduce the main cast of the game. Until then, fans will have to wait for further information regarding a possible console port.
