New Final Fantasy Dissidia game announced

[Black-Ice]

IT MUST BE PORTED

IT WILL BE PORTED

 

[sarkwalvein]

is this for 3ds???

Yes, they are putting a 3DS inside the arcade cabinet. But it is modified for HD graphics, and uses a different CPU, GPU, RAM and general architecture. Also it is not portable.

but what about the New 3DS? It should be capable right? right?!

Perhaps they could make a New 3DS version if they wanted, but I think a port to PS Vita, PS3 or PS4 is more likely, if they ever make a port.

I was sarcasting but what ever.
No there won't be a PS Vita port. Square enix hates that console.
The game will be probably PS4/Xbone only. If we get a port that is.

Its gonna come to consoles guys, relax I'm sure of it

I wonder why arcades died out in the west then if playing arcades isn't the same as on regular computer.
Maybe it has to do with the marketing in the 90's "take the arcade experience to your home!"

Probably because it's just much more convenient and people are lazy. Can end up cheaper in the long run too. Arcades are still nice things though, especially if you have some friends to go together. It's a shame there's like none left. The main difference is that an arcade cab can have controls that are tailored for the specific game it's running, which enables things like the steering wheel racing games, lightgun shooting games, or just things with controls like this:

Yeah I know. This was also kinda brought up by SuperBunnyhop in his video where he complained that more games nowadays use almost identical control schemes and features. Games are less distinguishable because of that.
But I agree Arcade cabins are pretty cool and a nice place for youths to hang around. I remember loving lightgun cabins as a child.
The game you've looks kinda hard to get in to. I can imagine people being like "that's bs" because they lost their money before the could master the contols

Don't worry, that's the second hardest chart in the game. I just linked that because it was the first thing I could think of, and it shows the difference to normal controls a bit more

Of course. Given that the New 3DS is at least 20 times more powerful than the original 3DS, i can imagine being an "Exclusive to New 3DS" version....

 

[pdensco]

i think new 3ds can support this game

 

[Blaze163]

Ugh. Been waiting for years for a new Dissidia, and what do I get? An arcade only one. There's an arcade about half an hour away from my flat but the chances of it getting a new machine before the Rapture are about as likely as the chances of my ex girlfriend developing a conscience. Put this on PS3 and its a day one purchase. Put it on PS4 and I might finally consider buying the damn thing.

 

[Gahars]

No, guys, you don't get it, this is meta. Before you got to pit Final Fantasy characters against each other. Now, Square Enix is pitting itself against their fans!

It's brilliant if you're Andy Kaufman.

 

[Clydefrosch]

whats the problem? arcades are still big moneymakers in japan. and they've been testing grounds for pretty much 99% of beat em up games coming out of that country.
who knows if it'll be ported later.

what I'm really concerned over is how confusing this 3v3 game is going to be. though its partly due to the cramped controls, targeting and fighting was already a bit messy on a one on one scale.

 

[nryn99]

I had fun with Dissidia on my PSP. I would love if they port it to Vita, if not, I'll probably be willing to buy a ps4 just for this.

 

[BORTZ]

I hate everyone and everything, fuck this cruel world.

Spoiler

I am right there with you. Dissidia was dope as hell. I cant believe we havent heard more about this till now.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Why can't SQEX just be cool and release this for Vita? Next thing you know we'll be getting a FF VI web browser game.

because Squenix hates the Vita.

I had an idea recently, for SE to put Dissidia on mobile platforms but make it so you can play using command battle only. (unless you have a gamepad hooked up in which case why not unlock regular controls this way) See it's on touchscreen right so it makes sense that the traditional gameplay wouldn't work, BUT, seeing as the game was designed to fully support command battle to begin with there should no reason why it wouldn't translate well to touch-only devices.

Also, even people who played Dissidia before would be interested in it, since presumably many of them didn't play the game using command battle, thereby making this a new experience. The game could even have online play now, since lag isn't as much of an issue when battles are "turn based".

EDIT: I only just realized something. This game is going to use command battle isn't it?! For some reason I assumed it would use regular controls, but it's an arcade game. Arcade cabinets don't use controllers and they don't have shoulder buttons, and it will be 3v3 which complicates the controls a bit. It seems entirely likely that this game will use command battle.

The cabinet for this game might end up having the same controls!
Just four big buttons laid out in a row.
Button 1 = bravery attack
Button 2 = HP attack
etc

Sooo let me get this straight, instead of making this on console or/and handheld and make shit tons of money, they made it for arcade only and Japan exclusive?
wow.. <>
