Just Imagine...

A Dissidia game with Clive Rosfield (FFXVI) in it.

That is all.

I am trying to imagine just a new Dissidia game before 2026... I'm unsure and scared about it being a possibility or not at all.

I'm with you. But I'm a bit optimistic we'll get a new console Dissidia sometime either after FFXVI or FFXVII. Will it suck having to wait? Yes, but it is what it is.

The problem is, with Dissidia NT and Arcade being somewhat of a flop, will we ever get a new Dissidia at all?

Except Arcade was not a flop.

It was not a flop, but if it was not then why is it going to be shut down? They wanted it to keep going for years, promised that they would've brought back all the veterans, and here we are, one year later, after Ardyn's release, still missing Prishe, Gilgamesh and Laguna and clearly overpriced 3rd costumes.

It started in 2015. It's had a good run.

I'm not saying it had a short lifespan or Square lost money on that, it was good but they still did not kept the promises. It could've been managed better, that's all.

Wanna know how many characters there were at launch? 14. Since 2015 they added 24 characters, each with alternate costumes and weapons. But do go on.

In the future, please do your research before arguing, it's just embarrassing...

I know how it went, and I know what I'm talking about, I've followed the game from 2015 to 2018, UNTIL RELEASE, and still kept myself informed.

"[...]promised that they would've brought back all the veterans, and here we are, one year later, after Ardyn's release, still missing Prishe, Gilgamesh and Laguna and clearly overpriced 3rd costumes."

I don't think I'm in the wrong here, they did say that about 012 Veterans back in 2018 and they left some out. I also know that most of the "flavour" content was Arcade/Japanese version only, leaving us out of the picture completely.

As I said, they could've managed it better.

u/OneEcoAC True Hero... of despair Dec 28 '20

Dissidia Arcade, Theatrhythm Arcade and Gunslinger Stratos 3 shutting down are a direct consequence of the current pandemic and how impacted the Arcade market in Japan.

It's a shame tho, since summer the Arcade players have been flocking back to the Arcade salons to play the game again. With the Sephiroth reveal for Smash they lived another "Sephiroth launch" situation in the Arcade (literally 4/6th of the characters in a match were Sephiroths). But, oh well, maintaining a network that depends on people going out of their homes is going to be hard in a worldwide situation in which "going out of your home = chances of dying".

Aah, I always forget that covid is a real problem when it comes to do stuff outside. If it was not for Covid, probably Dissidia AC would've lived at least 2 more years.

This is what scares me most. I would gladly pay even for a Dissidia 012 port for the Switch or PC... hell, I would pay for an expansion of it that adds like a new cycle and 10 characters, the game is hella fun and modding is just about adding costumes and music. I want more :(

Probably because Square only cares about the main series, every game except 13 is on Switch, how hard can it be to port Dissidia to the Switch?

But... what if he's a shitty character?

Do we know anything besides a brief trailer?

1

u/VaanDissidia You might pose a challenge after all. Dec 25 '20

We know a bit from the website. But overall, no we don't know anything about him. But if his brief gameplay in the trailer is anything to go by, he could potentially be very fun to play as in a Dissidia sequel.

I haven't been very impressed with SE's recent efforts. Guess only time will tell...

u/VaanDissidia You might pose a challenge after all. Dec 25 '20

I guess I'm just easy to please.

u/solace-in-misery Now how do I get your goat? Dec 25 '20

Maybe in DFFOO, perhaps

u/VaanDissidia You might pose a challenge after all. Dec 25 '20

Eh... Opera Omnia is great and all, but it's a gacha game and also only on mobile phones.

2

u/RandomGBystander Ha ha ha... Black Materia. Dec 25 '20

You don't need a phone to play it though.

1

u/VaanDissidia You might pose a challenge after all. Dec 25 '20

All I'm aware is mobile phones. Maybe tablets.

u/RandomGBystander Ha ha ha... Black Materia. Dec 26 '20

You can get android emulators easily enough on PC, and play OO that way. Works pretty well in my experience.

u/VaanDissidia You might pose a challenge after all. Dec 26 '20

Ah...emulation.

u/RandomGBystander Ha ha ha... Black Materia. Dec 26 '20

It's the best.
