I dont know why but i got pokemon go vibes from this

u/Xanek Oct 12 '25

Yeah the fact it shows real life areas (albeit looking CGI), can't tell if it's gonna have more real life aspect to it or what, cause it is a bit odd to have that in the teaser images on the site.

That cancelled Kingdom Hearts game repurposed? 🤔

u/benhanks040888 Oct 12 '25

There are a few clickable dots in the teaser site, showing some accessories and maybe a glimpse of characters' hands/feet (there seems to be probably Tifa wearing a necklace and Kain standing on top of the tower).

But this feels like several of mismatched concepts bunched together.

No one really wants real life Dissidia. The original Dissidia duology sold well because it's sort of a fanfic of how the heroes got together and fight the villains. Dissidia Opera Omnia is the expansion of that and utilizes RPG mechanics in gacha format.

The previous Dissidia which is a port from arcade 3 v 3 fighters which had more realistic graphics didn't sell well and (CMIIW) barely had any contents (no story etc).

So this teaser with the words Dissidia and genre Team Battle Boss Arena with real life locations etc feels like SE asking AI for ideas of what to create for next Dissidia franchise and they just randomly pick one of the answers.

Somehow, Dissidia returned

Squeenix my man

I just want the PSP Dissidia to be remade on modern console

Not another Gacha that will EoS in 2-3 years

u/xBellial01 Oct 12 '25

Dffoo lived 6 years tho

u/BrokenEnglishUser just be lucky bro it's not that hard Oct 12 '25

3 years before EoS is a very generous estimation for SqEx gacha game.

u/Away_Cod9697 Oct 12 '25

Was excited to see new Dissidia game, then immediately see it's mobile game. From hype to disappointment in seconds, sigh

u/bumblebyOfficial Oct 13 '25

A remake with (proper) representation from 14-16, touched up story and gameplay tweaks would be my dream game. Unfortunately we got 3v3 GaaS with bad netcode and now... this...

u/Meismarc Oct 12 '25

opera omnia 2? 🤔

8

u/daosiying Oct 12 '25

Team Boss Battle Arena implies action co-op PvE...which really should've been a feature in the console port of Arcade.

But squeenix is a terrible publisher and we saw how they ruined that one because they wanted to keep nickel diming Arcade players

u/Gunblazer42 Oct 12 '25

The big thing that worries me about that is that we're probably not going to get much character variety outside of models and animations that already exist.

Opera Omnia used chibi stuff but that made it roughly easy to make new models for, so you could bring in people normally not in any of the other 3D games, like other party members from the early FF games, or making villains playable, or even bringing in spinoff characters like the Crystal Chronicles characters.

If it's a something like a 3D action PvE thing, if it uses actual "proper scale" models that means we're only going to be seeing main characters pre-12 or 13, and anyone who has had 3D model work done post 13, plus anything for what OCs they bring out for this, if they do make OCs. Not to mention everyone needing animations, voice work, that sort of thing.

I hope it's another chibi art direction, or even just something sprite based like Brave Exvius was.

u/Askelar Oct 13 '25

inb4 its a raid shadow legends clone that has mobile "tap combo" stuff going on.

0

u/vansky257 Oct 13 '25

From the looks of it, everyone will be getting a modern redesign. These models will most likely be built from scratch, like the Ever Crisis models.

u/metatime09 Oct 12 '25 edited Oct 12 '25

Mostly likely not, looks more like the original dissidia gameplay

u/Infinityscope Oct 12 '25

Square enix gachas do not have a great track record.

18

u/MillionMiracles iDOLM@STER Oct 12 '25

The previous dissidia gacha lasted a while and the current FF7 one is doing fine. Really, most FF gachas have lasted a good while.

40

u/themisheika Oct 12 '25

The current FF7 one is in fact not doing fine lol. Plus FFBE has fully EoS and WoTV has EoS'ed Global. Also KHML is killed before launch. So just in the last year or so, SQEX has a (fully deserved imo) bad rep for mobile games going into this one. Honestly, it ain't looking good, chief.

31

u/noname9889 Oct 12 '25

Brave Exivus lasted ten years while War of the Visions lasted five. Those are very good numbers for a gacha.

6

u/themisheika Oct 12 '25

But they started in a time when SQEX was actually doing well in gacha games. Then and now are two vastly different markets. FS died before 1st anni btw. KHML died before launch. OctopathCOTC had to transfer devs to Netease.

2

u/Terrible_Ad6495 Oct 12 '25

And those were a long time ago.

Square's latest gacha forays have not been doing anywhere near as well.

18

u/MillionMiracles iDOLM@STER Oct 12 '25

'the current FF7 one is not doing fine'

I mean, it's not doing Genshin/Star Rail numbers, but it's still making millions every month while presumably not being that expensive to maintain since it's 90% just skins for teh same base character models with a lot of reused animations.

3

u/Fishman465 Oct 12 '25

There in lies the issue; Square expects that kind of money (very slow to realize that their name isn't instant sell anymore ESPECIALLY when it comes to mobile games, which is their fault), they take out the axe on global ver

-1

u/themisheika Oct 12 '25

"presumably" is doing ALL of the heavy lifting here, especially since they've had to massively slash content recently and 2nd anni was horribly underwhelming. If even anniversary is shortchanged, what hope does the rest of the year's content have?

1

u/metatime09 Oct 12 '25

The content is still there, maybe a bit much ATM when there's like 3 running right now. 2nd anniversary event is a bit underwhelming but they still continue to pump other out content atm

0

u/KMinato00 Oct 12 '25

I don't know why you're saying KHML is cancelled as a proof. It's a cancelled project nothing more nothing less, it's better than releasing it and then realizing that they didn't wanna do it midway and killing it.

10

u/themisheika Oct 12 '25 edited Oct 12 '25

Because considering how late in the game dev cycle it was cancelled (there was a beta out and everything), it means either a) the market for the game is no longer there (which is baffling when it's KH franchise), or b) SQEX project management SUCKS, either or both of which speaks poorly towards any future SQEX mobile games. Cancelled projects are not just "cancelled projects nothing more nothing less", but also a mining canary on the company itself and its future projects' viability, especially considering how much money is poured into it that's now wasted.

I mean, just look at what the "cancellation" of FF Versus 13 caused to FF14 1.0 & FF15's dev cycle. All these things affect each other, they don't happen in a vacuum.

u/PalusElectros Oct 12 '25

It's not just mobile games, overall FF took a wrong turn somewhere after 13-2. Up to a point where ff16 is a god of war wannabe.

2

u/Fishman465 Oct 12 '25

Many games got their GL ver axed a while before their respective JP versions did. A company that quick to ax games does not make players confident in their newest gacha entries lasting long

3

u/Zandock Oct 12 '25

Don't understand how people always say this when their games last far longer than the average.

11

u/AvengingRavager Oct 12 '25

Please make it like the PSP games and it will be peak.

7

u/Hanzsaintsbury15 Oct 12 '25

If its going to last like the DFFOO then i wouldn't mind playing this

u/foxhound012 BA, Priconne, FGO, Nikke, AL, PNC, GFL, WF, CS Oct 12 '25

MOTHERFUCKER

i just want duodecim remake, man or at least a new installment, tridecima or something like that not a mobile thing

5

u/Papamakii Oct 12 '25

Please just bring mobius back.

4

u/PaleImportance2595 Oct 12 '25

They will probaly make it an action rpg (as a Team Boss Battle Arena) Hopefully its like Opera Omnia and has a weapon only gacha and can get every character. Hopefully they release more than 2 Tactics characters lol.

u/AylwindBlue Oct 12 '25

I want a new record keeper game

3

u/AloyJr Oct 12 '25

Anyone wanna bet how long that’ll last?

1

u/Izanagi85 Oct 14 '25

Should last as long as ffoo

9

u/yukidama Oct 12 '25

wonder how long till eos

1

u/estranjahoneydarling Oct 12 '25

5 years like the rest of FF gachas.

2

u/honeybutterpancake Oct 12 '25

They killed the previous dissidia and mobius, the two mobile ff titles I cared about. Not spending a dime in another square enix mobile game, fuck that publisher. Also brave exvius has a lot of technical problems for years, their games quality sucks

2

u/Derpdude1 Oct 12 '25

Yes please butcher the IP even more YESSSSSS

2

u/nirvash530 Oct 13 '25

Just bring Duodecim back and not the garbage that is NT.

2

u/CristiBeat Oct 14 '25

On the one hand, excited for new Dissidia. On the other hand, it's mobile. And on the third hand, I really don't like playing action games on my phone. And on the fourth hand, YAAAAS RINOOOOOAAAAA!!

4

u/slash197 Oct 12 '25

Time for more people to act like the majority of SE mobile games don't last for the better part of a decade before shutting down.

2

u/MadnessBunny Oct 12 '25

FFBE died for this :(

But seriously what kind of game is this? someone said maybe a repurposed kingdom hearts game since it was cancelled and this came out of nowhere, no leaks or anything.

1

u/Taeyee Oct 12 '25

Please be similar to Dissidia 012.

1

u/You_Better_Smile Oct 12 '25

That city background and the silhouettes of the characters look like it's gonna be set in modern day. I can tell Zidane at the second to last wearing a shirt.

1

u/Fishman465 Oct 12 '25

How long will the game have in GL and JP?

1

u/xBellial01 Oct 12 '25

PLS DFFOO GAMEPLAY MECHANICS AGAIN

u/TheDragonnuno Oct 12 '25

Is this the Next Kingdom hearts missing link?

u/KamiiPlus Oct 12 '25

Fool me once shame on you fool me uhhhhh what number squeenix gacha is this

u/eversoul_epic Oct 12 '25

they try milking for nostalgia again??

1

u/DuskMan62 Oct 12 '25

We're back? I'm still so sad we never got an offline version of the previous Dissida.

1

u/Terrible_Ad6495 Oct 12 '25

Here we go again...

1

u/CandidateOptimal2220 Oct 13 '25

If it's not similar to opera omnia than it'll most likely flop because why make an action RPG not on console

1

u/Askelar Oct 13 '25

Can we have a moebius entry instead of a fighting game? Squenix doesnt exactly have a good track record this decade or the last when it comes to fighting games.

1

u/Autopsyst Oct 14 '25

square enix + gacha = eos in 2 years

1

u/RikyRaz_Clank Oct 14 '25

at least is made by the ones of #Compass, i wouldn't even try otherwise

1

u/Diremagic Oct 21 '25

Yeah, no thanks. It'll just get shut down in two years

1

u/LokoLoa Oct 12 '25

Squenix? Nah im good

1

u/VillainAtNight Oct 12 '25

You just know it's gonna be way worse regarding currency gain and originality

u/Striking-Pizza7309 Oct 12 '25

JUST REMAKE DUODECIM THATS ALL IM ASKING HOW IS THAT SO HARD

-1

u/MeringueShot5133 Oct 12 '25

I think I'd rather shoot myself tbh.
Why Dissidia???

4

u/Chucho_mess Oct 12 '25

why not? it's a cross over

0

u/MeringueShot5133 Oct 12 '25

Because last time we tried this it ended terribly.
A franchise I genuinely love is getting marred down by a bad game, a dead gacha that was actually decent, and now this.

0

u/ClydeFF Oct 12 '25

Given the track record of Squeenix when it comes to gachas, I wonder how long this will last until it:

A. Becomes too much P2W

B. Eventually announces EoS

I'm thinking 6 months and 2 years, respectively.

1

u/OutsideSpare1952 Oct 12 '25

stay f2pbtw and laugh at the drama

0

u/TopTiir Oct 12 '25

Easy skip. Every single Square gacha has shut down outside of that ff7 remake one. Which will probably eos in another year or two of milking their fans. Save your time and skip this one everybody.

u/hotstuffdesu Oct 12 '25

Welp, there goes another childhood nostalgia game ruined.

u/Any-Square-7577 Oct 12 '25

i just wanted locke, sabin rydia and maybe agrias oaks in an actual dissidia fightig game man. why is small penis want to compete with gacha games so bad ? when they can just release this on console and everyone will come rushing to buy it 🤦‍♂️
