In November of last year, Japan saw the release of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT: Free Edition, which is, as the name implies, a free to play version of the 2018 fighting game. Square Enix has announced that this will also be headed west, for PlayStation 4 and PC. The game will allow players to choose from a scaled-down roster of characters which will change on a weekly basis. Both online and single player modes will be included in the free version as well, while a Standard and Deluxe version will allow usage of all characters, and all DLC additions respectively. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Free Edition will launch on March 12 for the two aforementioned platforms, with PC players also getting the paid version on the same date.

Who even wanted that crap on the PS4?

Square Enix Epic Fail.

That game was dead fron beginning.

 

[SkittleDash]

PC version? Hey, maybe the fans can make it better with mods. Like Dissidia on PSP.

The game is all eye candy - it's great presentation wrapped around a relatively shallow experience. You might as well pick it up if it's free, but don't expect your mind to be blown - it's not like its predecessors. You can read a full review of the game right here, on GBAtemp:

Dissidia NT Review

 

[Noctosphere]

Ive never really played FF
But i might try the 30th entry

 

[Fugelmir]

Can you have 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 battles yet? It's too hectic 3v3

Pros,

All the final fantasy characters you wanted in Kingdom Hearts 3 are in this game.

Cons,

It plays nothing like Kingdom Hearts.

.......

"Oh wait, there is more cons? Umm where do I start, or end? Can I do one more pro?"


Pro,

Is going to be free to play.

Cons,

Is not on Nintendo Switch. Which could seem like fun to have 6 people playing in the same room.

 

[Purple_Heart]

ahhh Disidia is a whole different genre than Kingdom Hearts of course it does not play like KH xD

 

[phillyrider807]

They need to just make a kingdom hearts fighter. And license it out to capcom.

 

[MasterJ360]

Gameplay feels so stiff compared to its glorified psp days ohwell atleast we can try out the deluxe edition free on PC erm.. and hopefully mods

 

[Vhestal]

Joining the "battle-royale" bandwagon eh?

 

[Hells Malice]

Joining the "battle-royale" bandwagon eh?

because joining the Battle-royale bandwagon only requires going free to play

which BR definitely invented

 

[KyleHyde]

Hooray, now I can avoid this game like the plague on another platform.

A friend brought over his PS4 to show it to me last year and it really was as bad as he had told me beforehand. The gameplay is really slow compared to the first two Dissidia games and the AI is just atrocious. I wonder if someone will be able to mod the game to make it better, seeing as SE probably won't do that themselves no matter how many complaints they keep getting about it.

con it technicaly isn't entirely free. with the power of shenanigans they managed to pull off a free game that needs psplus to play online.

Not to mention all those micro-transactions if you want to use/keep the characters you want in the "free" version, instead of only being able to use the ones available in the current rotation.

Well, see, from what I can tell....or not, I can't read many moon runes.....you can only play as 1 character offline so ya, without ps plus your super fucked.

I don't know how to read those either (besides "Yes" and "No" game prompts), but wow, that's terrible.
There's definitely going to be a wave of complaints if that's still the case on PC, seeing as a lot of people on Steam like to play offline and without DRM.

 

[warweeny]

"single player" - you mean lack thereof lol.

Even for free, i would not want to play this game again, the disappointment it gave was too much.

 

[haxan]

if they sticked to the old psp style of gameplay i would have bought it in a heartbeat but noooo they had to go and mess up and change everything, they turned away all their hardcore fans
