Dissidia Branches out to Arcades

Posted on Saturday 14th February 2015 at 19:45 by Rangers51
Dissida: Final Fantasy
The popular-for-a-Sony-handheld franchise Dissidia: Final Fantasy is now taking a new turn in Japan, the announcement of a new arcade game. As is customary for the company nowadays, the announcement came in the form of a video trailer debuting several characters and a battle scene set in what appears to be a backdrop emulating the Warriors of Light leaving Cornelia in Final Fantasy I. Siliconera reports that unlike prior games, battles in this game will be 3v3; whether that will take the form of a Marvel vs. Capcom-style tag-team setup, or player-plus-AI battles is yet unclear.

Characters revealed in the trailer include:
More information is expected April 10th, in a planned presentation. Naturally, there is no indication yet of a Western release, but given the state of arcades here, it would seem more prudent to hope for a console/Windows port worldwide.

One must admit, though, between this and the new Star Wars game... well, it would be pretty cool if arcades were still a real thing.

Death Penalty Is one to infer from this that Japanese people still go to arcades?

The graphics are of course a bit stepped up from the PSP, but it definitely looks like its predecessor, what with the physics and combat style. I know nothing of how arcade games work: can one port from that to PC/console? Perhaps it would be more fitting to say this is a potential trial run for a larger-scale Dissidia game.

If this is accurate, and at the very least it seems to jive with what little I know, most machines now are running on modified Windows or Linux underpinnings. If they're doing it on any sort of Windows OS, I would think the port to a PC or the XBO would be somewhat trivial. The Sony systems are also Linux-based, so that could also make a port easier going in that direction.

Glenn Magus Harvey While I misread that other thread's title as being related to Steam, this seems a little relevant here due to the mention of Linux-based development -- maybe it could be useful for Steam OS?
