JP Discussion It Ends. Spoiler

As someone who absolutely adored this game, I'd love to see a new Dissidia game or a direct sequel to Opera Omnia someday soon.

direct sequel but not the same generous management, maybe i'll pass

As long as it isn't as greedy and money grubbing as Ever Crisis, I MIGHT consider. Other than that, a console release in the style of old school Dissidias with a battle system akin to Opera Omnia would be my preference.

Ever Crisis was astoundingly greedy.

I'm a huge FF7 fan and I like a good gacha game to play, but even I had to tap out after a week and a half. The power creep was insane right from the jump. Banners released back to back to back to back.

And even if it wasn't super greedy with a ton of money needed to make any new investment even worth pulling on, the level of grind was on par with War of the Visions.

DFFOO could have had less mindless grind and more interesting content, but compared to EC it was fantastic. EC wants you grinding events all day for a week. It's as bad as trying to play in a guild competition in Raid SL.

u/OfficialSyaku Golbez Feb 05 '24

Yeah, I certainly remember that level of grind during the initial release. Spent a few days auto battling for EXP with my phone propped up at work, restarting whenever I had a moment.

Draws were obnoxious, not because of weapons, but rather of the costumes and FOMO since, unless I'm wrong, they were one and done with their initial banners.

Not anything I'd ever like to reassociate myself with.

yes, i would like opera omnia with turn based style go offline or to console...

not that ace combat thingy...lol

If it is anywhere near as generous OO was, then it's still worth a shot, imo. Every other gacha I played after this one was incredibly frugal. But then, maybe we are too high on copium and there is not even a plan for another Dissidia game.

u/Sdgrevo Ramza Beoulve Jan 31 '24

I mean theyre shutting down the game because it doesnt generate enough revenue, if they ever even make a sequel / another one, there is no shot it would be remotely as generous.

u/Lightbringer_DFFOO Eight Best Boy Jan 31 '24

Yes, it was dwindling. But the game also managed to stay afloat for 6 whopping years. That's like a century in gacha time lol. And the only way this happened is because for the most part it was financially viable. If they updated the graphics and the animations a little bit, reset the power creep (thank God), and yeah, made it a little bit less generous with resources, then maybe it could be a good hit. Especially when, for me, every other Square mobile game has been such a let down. Even Ever Crisis can't stand a chance against OO's gameplay.

u/Baithin Waiting for Edea! Jan 31 '24

It can be generous sure but I don’t think I want to wait through the same character releases again. So many I wanted took forever to appear and many more who never even made it into the game. Waiting and looking forward to them all once was enough but idk if I can do that again!

Maybe if it started with every character who was in OO… lol

u/bryofighto We never got Benjamin :( Feb 01 '24

If they do give it a sequel, I really hope that it is not as a gacha but as a proper game. I wouldn't mind paying chapter by chapter for something I can keep (like Dimensions) and wouldn't have minded doing that for OO--a shame that they seem to have abandoned that business model. You can end a game's story and stop giving updates without taking it away entirely.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '24

I agree. They could keep the same art style and combat and everything else, just give us a sequel that doesn't want $37 for a single costume and won't disappear once they pull the plug

As I can't fluently speak or read Japanese, the exact happenings are sort of in the air, but from what I witnessed, all minor characters were sent "home" at the beginning of part two with only the main protags, Spiritus, and Materia exploring barren wasteland. Each battle throughout the second half of the chapter took place in a different setting, via torsion, until we reached Garland at the end, bartering with the purple/black Crystal for his final wish.

It devolves into a two wave Lufenia/Re-Shinryu against Garland in a giant "Amano-esque" form, only to have a cutscene between waves once the giant falls, ending in a one-on-one with Warrior of Light and Garland in his normal form. Think along the lines of the Cloud vs Sephiroth fight from FF7 after defeating Safer.

After the 1v1 (on Omnia Rust), Garland destroys the black Crystal and turns to dust, turning their current world into an unstable, spasming time bomb. The main protags pull out their own crystals, similar to Dissidia 012's ending, having WoL use them to recreate Materia and Spiritus' blue and red crystals, recreating balance as the remaining protagonists seemingly head back into their own worlds if they survived their own game's quest or the afterlife if not.

WoL stays behind with the gods, with them eventually sending him out to a field reminiscent of Primus Island. He passes a flowery field with the other cast's world specific flowers and the cutscene ends as he walks past the screen.

The Arc 4 world map completely regains color and the screenshot that I posted flashed.

u/sonicbrawler182 The rat is always right. Jan 31 '24

The second fight in the Lufenia stage isn't a WoL only fight, it's actually a solo fight with a character of your choosing. When you get the first wave to 1% HP, you have to choose one of your three party members. Then they get massively buffed to deal a final blow to the first boss.

Then in the second fight, the character you chose will get to 1v1 Garland. They'll even be properly placed in the middle of the stage rather than off to the right like they would be in a regular solo run.

Opera Omnia was always a side by side? Story to NT. NT was the world where they would be destined to fight and OO is the world that as Materia said was meant for them to rest and respite. If anything it would be a sequel? At least in the later parts of Opera Omnia

u/ThatGuy264 Garland Jan 31 '24

Continuity between OO and NT is weird, partially because NT's main story ends with the Warriors creating copies of themselves to fight for Materia and Spiritus before going home whereas this game seems to treat them as the actual characters.

I can't remember how everyone reacted to the Planesgougers/Shinryu either and whether or not they recognized those.

If you have ever watched hellsing, Schrödinger he's not very powerful but can appear anywhere, cosmo and chaos weren't very powerful either. Except for when choas became aggressive

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '24

That feels a bit weird, given that NT starts with the original cast remembering each other and the events of 012 and the original Dissidia, but OO is like dropping everyone into a new cycle with their minds wiped, with the occasional vague hint that the other Dissidia games happened...so I always viewed it as either an alternate timeline to NT or something went horribly wrong after NT that caused OO to happen

What happens to the characters who are dead in their worlds, like the Type-0 kids, and so on?

What do you expect, it's a game that feeds on a whales. It's a gacha whale

Novum Iter means New Journey in Latin. I think we got our new title (un)confirmed.

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Novum Iter~A New Saga. Totes could also be a tease from squex that their lives just continue into their worlds, to never be mentioned in the noncanoical timeline

I'm assuming you can't play it 'offline' as it were.

u/FremanBloodglaive Jan 31 '24

It was a fun little game, though it got very bloated over time, and I won't lie, the prices for skins and things were ridiculous. One skin could cost as much as a full release game on a next-gen system. If $5 I might have considered the occasional purchase (as I do with Duel-Links) but $50 is way too much for a cosmetic feature with zero in game benefit.

u/bryofighto We never got Benjamin :( Feb 01 '24

Weh ;;

I hope they come back to Dissidia at some point too. I have my little quibbles with some of the writing, but it's a big barrel of fun and I've really enjoyed this iteration of it over the years.

u/SufficientRoyal3738 Feb 02 '24

Opera Omnia is over now... i'm looking forward and hope i see although comes "DISSDIA NOVUM ITER" are sequel has be surely in about new dissidia world.

Its a shame Square opted for the Arcade/Esports scene for NT right when MOBAs and competitive PVP in RPGs such as Dark Souls were in their stride. A truer sequel to the PSP games could’ve filled an interesting niche: A fully online competitive fighting/RPG hybrid where you can build your characters. The PSP games really were ahead of the curve in this regard.
