'Dissidia NT' tries to add MMORPG dynamics to a fighting game
Fighting in Dissidia NT, coming to the PlayStation 4, is mayhem. Six characters from the Final Fantasy universe, of varying levels of popularity, are rushing one another, launching giant magical projectiles, charging up summons attacks and watching their backs as they do it. While the first two Dissidia games on PSP were one-on-one affairs, this time you're part of a trio. And similar to Overwatch and other competitive team games, characters are meant to work together in unison. Each is assigned to one of four classes, and that decides their play style, weaknesses and strengths. You can also choose your attacks, buff skills and summons on top of that. In short, the demo I played was a complicated introduction -- even for someone who had played the last two Dissidia games to death. Director Takeo Kujiraoka told me that the UI has been simplified from the arcade version, with Koei's Team Ninja helping to ensure the battle system is a balanced one. But with three times as many players on screen, Dissidia NT is a now a competitive team fighter, and there's an awful lot to take in all at once.
The next 'Final Fantasy' brawler 'Dissidia NT' heads to PS4 in January
We knew that the next entry in Final Fantasy's all-star brawler Dissidia series would be coming to PS4, and a possible Amazon mishap clued us in to an end-of-2017 release. Square Enix has announced that Dissidia Final Fantasy NT will arrive a little later on January 30th, 2018 -- and there are a couple collector's editions to choose from, if that's your thing.
'Dissidia NT' brings ridiculous 'Final Fantasy' brawls to PS4
After making its transition from Sony's PSP to arcades, Square Enix's Dissidia series is coming back to PlayStation. While it's on the PS4 and not handheld this time around, it should ensure that that the battlers will look their best. Dissidia pits over 30 years of Final Fantasy heroes and villains against each other in a something more resembling a fighting title than an RPG. That said, you'll see all your damage shown in numbers, there are spells, summons, equipment, items and the rest. It's all still very Final Fantasy-esque.
