Get ready, Dissidia fans! A new battle is about to begin on your phone! Square Enix is gearing up to unleash a brand-new Dissidia Final Fantasy title specifically designed for iOS and Android devices. Mark your calendars for October 14th, because that's when the curtain rises!
But what exactly is Dissidia, you might ask? For those unfamiliar, Dissidia is a crossover fighting game series featuring iconic heroes and villains from across the entire Final Fantasy universe. Imagine Cloud Strife battling Sephiroth, or Lightning taking on the Emperor – epic clashes between legendary characters! The previous Dissidia games have been available on Playstation consoles and arcade, but now Square Enix is bringing the action to your fingertips.
The official announcement will be made during a special "Team Boss Battle" trailer reveal. You can tune in on YouTube at 3:00 a.m. PT / 6:00 a.m. ET / 19:00 JST. Don't worry if you can't make it live; the trailers will be available to watch later in both English and Japanese. Here are the links to the Youtube trailers: English and Japanese.
While concrete details are currently under wraps, Square Enix has launched a teaser website to whet our appetites. You can find the English version here: English and the Japanese version here: Japanese. The site features intriguing background visuals, possibly hinting at the game's art style or storyline.
And this is the part most people miss: following the official social media accounts is crucial for staying up-to-date. The Twitter accounts (@DDFFEN (https://twitter.com/DDFFJP) / @DDFFJP (https://twitter.com/DDFFJP)) will likely be the first to share new information, gameplay footage, and behind-the-scenes glimpses.
But here's where it gets controversial... Will this new mobile Dissidia be a gacha game? Given the prevalence of gacha mechanics in mobile games, it's a legitimate concern for many fans. Will we be pulling for our favorite characters using in-game currency? Or will Square Enix take a different approach?
What are your hopes and expectations for this new Dissidia Final Fantasy mobile title? Which characters are you most excited to see included? Do you think it will be a gacha game, or will Square Enix surprise us with a different monetization model? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
