The exciting world of Dissidia Final Fantasy is about to expand with a brand new game on the horizon.
The original Dissidia Final Fantasy captivated players by uniting the largest assembly of Final Fantasy characters in a thrilling fighting game, where heroes and villains from across the franchise clashed. Released in 2008, it earned a commendable score of 8.9/10. However, this new installment, described as a “Team Boss Battle Arena,” is set to be exclusively available on iOS and Android mobile devices, a detail confirmed by the newly launched teaser site from publisher Square Enix.
Fans have already begun meticulously examining the mini-site. One keen observer suggested that the silhouetted character roster could feature iconic Final Fantasy figures such as Edward, Kain, Terra, Warrior of Light, Lightning, Tinoa, and Cloud, all reimagined with contemporary outfits. The website also showcases five stunning environmental art images from the game.
The announcement has triggered a range of reactions within the community. In one Reddit discussion, a disappointed player voiced, “no one join. Let this game burn in the hell of EoS after one month,” expressing frustration with Square Enix’s history of short-lived mobile titles. Another thread lamented, “Excited about new Dissidia news just to see it’s more mobile game nonsense,” pleading for a modern port of Duodecim instead of another live service game destined for server shutdown.
Yet, not all feedback is negative. One optimistic fan declared, “if it is half as good as Dissidia Opera Omnia, I’m ready to open the wallet,” indicating hope for a high-quality mobile experience.
Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait long for more details. Square Enix is scheduled to reveal further information on October 14 at 3 AM PT/6 AM ET. The reveal will be streamed live on YouTube.
