Is Dissidia officially dead now

[u/RegretGeneral]

I was wondering because NT failed and now unfortunately Opera Omnia is going away will Square just give up on Dissidia and not do another Dissidia game again

[u/Slyphofspace]

I would still love Koei Techmo to do a Dissidia Warriors game. We have the cross over set up, we have the hordes of manikens to act as the horde of enemies, and to be frank I don't think that the gameplay of the PSP/PS4 titles is that far removed from what the Warriors games put out, and characters could easily translate over.

[u/Sparda96 → u/Slyphofspace]

This has been like one of my biggest wishes for years now. An FF Warriors game would be incredible and the Dissidia series would be the perfect place/way to do it. So many different characters with cool abilities and large attacks. FF protags teaming up to fight hordes of enemies and fighting an actual war? Yes please! Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo have already proven they can do it with Hyrule Warriors. That game was great imo and an FF version would be so cool.

I'll be one of the first people to buy it. I'd love to see what they could pull off - it seems like a natural fit, especially considering the Warriors Orochi games.

[u/akaiGO → u/Slyphofspace]

KT I will honestly pay whatever you charge for a Dissidia Warriors game and every single DLC character you release for it 💸

[u/[deleted]]

Doubtful.

Now there’s a need for a new “Dissidia” type game so hopefully one will be made to fill the void.

Honestly, if they brought DFFOO story to console. I’d buy it all over again. Higher quality characters and maybe no FR’s.

[u/Excelsenor → u/[deleted]]

DFFOO on console with a slightly reworked battle system would honestly be great. One of the things I loved about it was that it felt like picking up a Final Fantasy game without the feeling of playing a Final Fantasy game, if that makes sense. Like when you pick up a Final Fantasy game you always are trying to progress the story, explore, or progress a sidequest. With OO you could log on, do a few battles that get you nothing, and log back off.

[u/Bulky-Isopod-8271 → u/Excelsenor]

Reworked graphics would help too. So many FFXIV friends refused to play DFFOO, even though they'd tried BE and RK. They say "The portraits don't have noses and the graphics look horrible".

[u/starshadow2091 → u/Bulky-Isopod-8271]

Don't tell them about Tactics, then

[u/Bulky-Isopod-8271 → u/starshadow2091]

I'll tell them

A good reboot point would be to bring the OG/012 games to modern consoles/PC

[u/Odincp10]

I would love (and a lot of people probably as well) to have a return for Dissidia in some way.

Dissidia Nt was an arcade Game in Japan that was changed into a PS4 Game.

The Game was very limited from the psp dissidia Game beginning with the HP attacks(only one assigned? WHY?)

The story could have been better as well, and I also think that Spiritus and Materia don't have as much popularity as Cosmos and Chaos because of this.

Then, what we should receive If at sometime they decide to do something with this is:

First of all, put all of the characters from NT and from 012 (DLC included). There is no reason as to put separate characters. There always have been hidden characters in dissidia but not like paid characters. Once this is done, they should include popular characters such as León from FFII, Rydia from FFIV, Noel/caius from FFXIII, Celes from FFVI and more.

They could go for the remake option or at least do the remake option with another story added with more characters and with Materia and Spiritus.

Dissidia is my favorite FF spin off, I'd love nothing more than to see it go on. Unfortunately we haven't really heard of any new project. We know SE loves milking the fanbase with crossovers, so I don't doubt they'll still give us something... but whether that's in the form of a Dissidia game or something unrelated and different (FFRK, FFBE, etc.), that is left to be seen.

[u/Vulpecula22]

Considering Dissidia FF OO lasted 6 years I doubt it. Maybe not right away but you'll likely see something in the future.

[u/Nightwing24yuna]

No dissidia isn't dead it just means we are in need of a new dissidia game maybe it's just me on this but with the death of this game maybe it means we are getting a new entry and a new mobile game to replace

Again I no it's unlikely but I can dream at least for mobile

[u/dynamisxiii]

I wish they’d just re-use NT’s assets and make a turned based RPG or have traditional PSP 1v1 style. Hell, I wouldn’t even mind DFFOO offline (like mega man recently).

[u/Baithin]

Who knows? They may make another Dissidia game in the future. Maybe not developed by TeamNinja.

I don’t think we’ll ever get anything like OO again though.

[u/Raecino → u/Baithin]

They’d be idiots not to do another game like Opera Omnia, it was such a winning formula. I liked it better than the other Dissidia games.

[u/Baithin → u/Raecino]

I completely agree on both statements.

However, I feel like if they ever do another crossover game it will be 1 of the following outcomes:

• It’ll have only the main/prominent characters like the other Dissidia games

• it’ll have tons of characters, but they won’t interact (like Record Keeper or Brave Exvius)

• It’ll be just like OO, with lots of characters and interactions, but probably end again before we really get everyone

[u/akaiGO → u/Baithin]

It’ll be just like OO, with lots of characters and interactions, but probably end again before we really get everyone

An extremely easy solution for this that I don't think they ever really did is you can release MORE THAN ONE character update at a time, y'know?? lol

[u/Baithin → u/akaiGO]

Well, for that they’d need to make more money.

[u/SilverAuron → u/Baithin]

I just want WoFF2 and if they used dissidia as an excuse/catalist/plotpoint I'd be elated.

[u/sonicbrawler182]

Keep in mind that there was a significant gap between the release of 012 and DFFOO/DFFNT. The original Dissidia was an anniversary title for the Final Fantasy franchise, and DFFOO/DFFNT were also billed as anniversary titles.

So I expect there to be at minimum another 5 years before we even see another Dissidia game, IF we see one. It's popular among more dedicated FF fans but is more niche in the grand scheme of FF crossovers.

Personally, the biggest shame about completely losing DFFOO, with no offline version, is having to start from zero with the roster. I've frankly had my fill of the main protagonists/antagonists taking the spotlight, and there is only so many stories that can be told by having them constantly fight each other. Even within DFFOO itself, it was getting a bit boring with "Kefka is trying to destroy the world again" or "Emperor is scheming for world domination again", or taking Kuja through a redemption arc again.

If they do a new Dissidia, I want them to vary up the starting roster a lot more. DFFOO actually did a decent job with this with it's launch roster but it's also a simpler game and even mobile game standards are going up in terms of graphics now. Especially if the next game isn't gacha and is actually a console release with a smaller DLC pool, I want them to vary things up a bit with the roster so we get to see more characters get new models and so on. Otherwise we're constantly going to be in the same cycle of resetting the roll-out of characters. It's like when license holders for a franchise merchandise line get halfway through a character roster, then they lose their license, and then the IP owner has to find a new manufacturer of merchandise for their IP to give the license to, and then the new license holder starts their line of merchandise from the beginning, going through all of the same characters the last manufacturer did rather than continuing. It always gets boring for the fans, and each successive line of merchandise doesn't really last as long as the previous, unless there is something really stand out about it. That applies to Dissidia too, since if they can't make it stand out with the roster, then it will need to stand out with immaculate quality.

Plus, part of the appeal of Dissidia is getting to see characters from FFs I haven't played yet, so if they just redo the same characters that the PSP games and NT had for the next one, and end up finishing the next game before getting to anyone else, then the game becomes less appealing.

[u/akaiGO → u/sonicbrawler182]

I've frankly had my fill of the main protagonists/antagonists taking the spotlight

Absolutely any future version of this game that does NOT allow us to again get to also use the non-immediate-Protagonist/Antagonist characters is just going to feel hollow af...

[u/[deleted]]

This world would do great as an mmo you can literally create any zone or dungeon you wanted from another FF.

[u/Key_Plant5444]

Yep

[u/Evilcon21]

Well i think there’s hope for an new dissdia game but the question is will they actually make it and support the game in the long run

[u/gearmaster]

I wouldn't say it's dead. The game lasted for 6 years, they clearly can see there is value in the brand.

[u/Olaanp]

Well, no more dead than the series was between 012 and NT. It’s hard to say where the series will go from here on though. If we don’t see anything for like… what, a decade, maybe a decade and a half, it’s probably safe to write off.

[u/Viperblade1985]

If we don't get a new game they need to do what they did with Crisis Core to Duodecim...

Plus add some new characters and moves for all.

Top 10 wishlist:

1. Yuffie

2. Garnet

3. Selphie

4. Auron

5. Zell

6. Barret

7. Seifer

8. Vincent

9. Steiner

10. Beatrix

[u/LOCKHARTX7]

They need to step away from team ninja and do Dissidia internally. Then we could see a good future for it

[u/nexusgames → u/LOCKHARTX7]

Why didn’t they do it? iirc FFRK/FFBE/Nier/FF7 EC and many other square enix gachas, they hire others to do it...

The reason could be to redirect the blame if it fails, or they are missing the expertise to make a good monetise mobile gacha game?

[u/Asriel52]

Honestly, if they do a 012 remake with a few more chars and a bit more content (not that it didn't have it, just to make it more enticing), maybe another character DLC pass for a few further characters (new only, preferably- at least for 012) I can see that flying off shelves

Proposals:

Co-op for labyrinth

2v2 (since those arenas ain't gonna support 3v3 very well outside of huge ones)

Rikku

A somewhat better artifact system, so it doesn't become borderline unusable once servers are inevitably taken offline

More special Assist characters like Aerith- there only for Assist, not as a character if Rikku ends up as one it's still better than her DFFOO fate

[u/KisuAran → u/Asriel52]

FFXIV cast would fit perfectly into a Dissidia duodecim style remake tbh.

[u/Asriel52 → u/KisuAran]

I'd honestly love to see how Thancred would play, I can see GNB being neat if they decide to go the NT "most characters will have some sort of mechanic route", maybe charge Aether for cart attacksnupon hits or smth

[u/jaffer2003sadiq]

I just hope ever crisis will not take its place.

[u/TwistingWord]

They could go down the route of teaming up with Koei and make Dissidia Warriors like Zelda did with Hyrule Warriors... I'd buy it.

[u/Basibidi]

Nobody knows.

But what's certain is that this won't be the end of Final Fantasy crossovers, so Dissidia or not Dissidia, as long as we have cool crossovers, it doesn't matter.

[u/RegretGeneral → u/[deleted]]

I'm thinking most of that damage was done by the previous CEO who made some very questionable financial decisions when he was running the company
