? About
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a three-versus-three party battle game where you can enjoy exhilarating, action-based battles while controlling characters from the Final Fantasy series.
The characters, battle arenas, and background music all come from previous Final Fantasy titles, and you’ll battle using the abilities and magic that take advantage of each game’s features.
In addition to a character leveling and ability acquisition growth element, you can also customize each character’s costume and weapons.
Control characters from the Final Fantasy series and fight together in a party-based battle. If called upon, summons appear for a fixed amount of time and can turn the tides of battle.
Characters
Warrior of Light (voiced by Toshihiko Seki)
- Class: Vanguard
- Type: Heavy
An all-rounder balanced in both offense and defense, who has many techniques effective at close- and mid-ranges. In Final Fantasy, he is the “Warrior of Light” chosen by the crystal. He sets off on a journey in order to bring back the crystal’s shine and save the world.
Garland (voiced by Koji Ishii)
- Class: Vanguard
- Type: Heavy
An armored fighter whose power increases by landing attacks. In Final Fantasy, he was known as a famous knight in the kingdom of Cornelia, but abducted the princess and fled to the Chaos Shrine.
Zidane Tribal (voiced by Romi Park)
- Class: Assassin
- Type: Speed
A character who specializes in stealing stats and Bravery Points using “Steal” while causing a disturbance on the battlefield. In Final Fantasy IX, he is a member of the theater troupe / group of thieves known as Tantalus. They abduct Princess Garnet and, backing her, get tangled up in what’s going on behind the scenes between countries.
Kuja (voiced by Akira Ishida)
- Class: Assassin
- Type: Speed
A character that fights using magic, but has high movement speed and specializes in close-range attacks. In Final Fantasy IX, he is a young man of many mysteries who creates a diversion during the Mist Continent war. He tries to bring about chaos throughout the continent.
Y’shtola (voiced by Ai Kayano)
- Class: Marksman
- Type: Shoot
A character whose magic is almost all equipped with weakening effects, and who specializes in obstructing enemies with a barrage of attacks. In Final Fantasy XIV, she is a woman of the Miqo’te who players meet in La Noscea, where the breeze of the sea rustles. In addition to using advanced magic, she’s versed in magic studies. There are too many mysteries about her for her to be a mere traveler.
? Battle Types
Each character has a type—Heavy, Speed, Shoot, or Unique—which you should consider when forming your team:
- Heavy – Slow movement speed, vast attack range.
- Speed – Low attack power, high movement speed, and can perform triple jumps.
- Shoot – Specializes in long-distance attacks. Caution is necessary when enemies approach.
- Unique – A type that has unique special abilities, such as strengthening and growth.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is due out for PlayStation 4 worldwide in early 2018.
