Details on FF Dissidia Battle System
Okay, here’s the deal with Final Fantasy Dissidia. This week’s Famitsu report on the game reveals that the short of the long story is that the gods of light, Cosmos, is locked in eternal battle with the god of disorder, aptly named Chaos. All hope for all us normal folks likes in the hands of ten warriors summoned by Cosmos.
So, as suggested by the storyline – which really isn’t important since this is a fighting game at heart – there are 10 heroes in the game. Still no word on how many villains there will be, but Tetsuya Nomura has noted that the development team is currently working on getting as many characters into the game as they can.
As for the gameplay, which Gamespot likened to Super Smash Bros, IGN reports that the fights revolve around the use of individual set skills to do damage to opponents. The skills are displayed using a command list at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
The skills available for use changes depending on your distance to your enemy and other factors. For example, destroying the environments build up your character’s Brave meter which allows you to access stronger attacks. Pounding (we assume combos and such) on your opponents on the other hand builds up a special move gauge, which, of course, should lead to more punishment.
The battle system also includes evasion and jumping (which should be standard given that this IS a fighting game), but it is said that the controls can be simple enough for those not into action games to fare decently. As you progress through the storyline, you’ll be able to build up your character and make him stronger via levels; you can also customize your characters with equipment – Ultima Weapon come to mind?
We hope, though, that a VS mode, where the levels of the characters are standard so that even balanced fights can be easily enjoyed between friends. Wouldn’t be fair if you’re powered up and he’s not right?
There is still no release date for the game in Japan. Since this is a 20th anniversary game made for the fans though, it’s likely that Square Enix will manage to release Final Fantasy Dissidia within the year.
