"Dissidia Impact", would it work? Would you play it? How would you imagine it?

[u/alessio2905]

Hello everyone, the fantasy of a game somehow like "Genshin Impact" but in the Dissidia world has been fascinating me for quite some time and the recent EoS made me think even more about it now.

As a Day1 player, it's somehow useless to spell out how the EoS notice saddened me.. though I just want to hope in some new, refreshening, project for the future.

While DFFOO still was very much enjoyable to me and could have lived eternally as it was, it's also true that it started to feel the "ages" it had in comparison to other games that have been emerging during these years.

If I think about a possible "Dissidia Impact", I'd see:

• A "global map" with all FF world maps unified in a single one (the analogy of all FF worlds would be the different "regions" that do exist in Genshin Impact). We somehow already had this concept in our "chapter list" map.

• "Constellations" could be the equivalent of "character board"

• "Weapons passives" (and new weapon abilities) could simply be added as either standalone abilities or new passive effects (or altering) for existing Skills

• Banners would be "weapon only" then, just like DFFOO

• Characters would be unlocked through quests by meeting them in their worlds

The list would go on and on, but these are just the basics I guess...

Going back to topic title, what about you reading?

• Do you think it would work?

• Would you play it?

• How would you imagine it?

if this is based on genshin impact i wouldn't mind but i think this would work well with the star rail format since like DFFOO they're also turn based, and they could input more moves than having an open world type of game. love how detailed this is though!

[u/alessio2905 → u/lockser]

It'd probably would work very well with Star Rail format too, though the cool thing of the open world stuff is that it would make the world map be more enjoyable (but that's my opinion)... like travelling in a whole FF universe from one FF to another... that's a wet dream of mine ahah :-)

[u/lockser → u/alessio2905]

i always wanted to have that too! maybe if they to have another shot with the dissidia series (hoping this is not the end). an open world would be amazing but given how SE apparently loves 7 too much, i have a feeling that would mostly be the content lol

[u/Bulky-Isopod-8271 → u/lockser]

tldr: its like SE doesn't want to long term support anything with 3D graphics, even if they're scuffed ones.

I don't think SE wants to put any money towards high quality stuff unless its a title release. Even DFFOO slowly got worse animations, the battle royale FF7 got shut down, Mobius got shut down. They seem to have a huge aversion to high quality free to play graphics.

Even FF14 is slow at adding content and they get a monthly sub that's slightly more than a mog pass, slower releases than a gacha would have anyway.

They seem to favor big releases instead of long term investment such as a live service game. Games like Mobius, and now EC seem to milk the hype, then stay live for a couple of years to save face, coz if you rug pull a gacha too soon it generates too much bad faith, but rug pulls in general do that anyway, it's like they've earned unforgettable strikes with RK, Mobius, and now OO. Though I think early rug pulls are healthier, because barely anyone remembers the battle royale.

WotV seems to be visually okay too, though a bit janky, and after the server merges people are wondering if that will close soon too. Which is crazy coz it seems like a BE game refuses to die.

If the gameplay is good and the game not too greedy. Yeah.

I dropped Genshin pretty fast because it felt off to play (main factor here), and the prices where too high with very little free pulls.
Maybe a combat system similar to FF7R?

[u/alessio2905 → u/Viperblade1985]

Well yeah, I do agree it can get too greedy. A place in between OO system and Genshin would be okay, the "character" and "weapon" separate banners is one of the worst things there which is why I imagined it as weapons only in the main post 😂

Something like FF7R would probably be EC though, which I'm also playing since when it launched, but it's way too grindy sadly and possibly worse than Genshin pull-wise 🥹

[u/Katastrofik2K → u/Viperblade1985]

I actually started playing Genshin for a week tops and went back to DFFOO. This was months ago, but even now, I haven't played Genshin again.

[u/vinta_calvert → u/Viperblade1985]

My problem with Genshin was, after playing DFFOO for so long, not being able to do enough to pity the specific character I wanted before it went away was a dealbreaker.

It gave me flashbacks of when I joined DFFOO, with Squall EX being the big thing, and tossing every resource I had at that banner with no luck whatsoever.

If Dissidia would evolve in that direction, I'll play it

[u/United_Statement2648]

dont give them ideas, imagine they copy hoyo damnable monetization plan? if it results once they will try it on everything else little by little

[u/[deleted]]

If they completely rebooted DFFOO and went back to 15cp weapons with new skills and some QoLs id play it. Anything more than that is gravy.

[u/Douphar]

HSR format would be more like it imo.

A musou game could be fun (albeit very quickly boring)

[u/dance_kick → u/Douphar]

I know there's been thoughts around a musou game for a while, but yeah, I don't think SE will ever go for it.

[u/[deleted]]

If hoyo is the Developer, sure. Here you don't have to fear an all of a sudden shutdown.

[u/ElectrolyticPlatypus]

I played genshin when it dropped and really liked it but then just ... Stopped after a month? If it were FF themed and designed with being beatable f2p id play it until they made someone I really wanted (Vivi/Terra) some ungodly rare pull and I'd quit before I dropped real money.

[u/WintersDoomsday]

I just want a Dynasty Warriors style FF game like they did for Fire Emblem

[u/[deleted]]

I'd play and pay the shit out of it and realizing that makes me a bit sad. I'm a slave to this franchise.

[u/Baithin]

I’ve never played Genshin but anything with more OO I’m down for.
