For those who didn’t hear a new Dissidia game is in development for the arcades. Today it was announced in a closed press conference that Team Ninja will be developing the game. Team Ninja known for Dead Or Alive has experience with arcade games but Dissidia is a little different then what they or any fighting game developer is used to so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. So far we now the play style is three on three instead of the one on one from the last game. The new trailers shown today shows Lightning, Cloud, Ramza Beoulve and Terra Branford as well as a new scene with Final Fantasy VII classic midgar making an appearance as well as a summons that fans may be familiar with as Ifirt the fire summons seen in most Final Fantasy games makes an appearance. If you are fan take a look at the new trailer below to see what the next installment has in store as well as playstyle which you can also check out.
Battles are three-versus-three. Here’s the screen layout:
•1. Playtime
•2. Battle Log
•3. Teammate Status
•4. Player Status
•5. HP
•6. Target Line
•7. Break Bonus
•8. Mini-Map
•9. Enemy Team Information
•10. Chat Icon
Controls are the same across characters
HP & Brave
There are two types of attacks:
•HP Attack – When a player attacks with an HP Attack, the amount of HP they can take off the enemy is displayed as the Break Bonus stat in the upper-right corner of the screen.
•Brave Attack – When a Brave Attack hits, it can sap away at the enemy’s own Break Bonus.
EX Skills
A class of iconic support skills players can use during battle, such as “Protect” for raising allies’ defense, Slow to make enemies move slower, provoking enemies to lock their targets elsewhere. Also includes character specific skills like Tina’s “Trance” and Cloud’s “Limit Break.”
Summon Beast
All members of a team share a Summon Gauge that can be built up. When it’s full, if all players join in the invocation, they can have a Summons Beast enter the fray as a temporary fourth teammate. Summons Beasts also have auto-abilities that will be continuously in effect while they’re out on the field, providing an added boon to team members.
Summons Beasts are selectable.
Braves
Enemy Braves can also be stolen with a Brave Attack. Braves can be accumulated en masse with a Brave Break. If you manage to accrue all of an enemy’s Braves, you’ll get a bonus. That said, there’s a greater incentive to prioritize enemies with bigger Brave reserves.
Brave Breaks ideal to use after taking HP Attacks and can help stage big comebacks.
Character Customization
Character customization (status, abilities, etc.) can be done with a dedicated smartphone app, meaning you can make character changes without going to the arcade.
Updates
Regular updates are planned for release after the arcade version is out. Updates include additional characters, stages, summons, battle music, custom parts, balance refinements, and additional gameplay systems
