While most websites online will be focusing on the fact that Final Fantasy VIII's absent father, army man and kinda-sorta hero Laguna Loire will be joining the fight in Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy, a closer look at the scan from this week's Jump reveals something new and interesting: a world map.
Below the introduction to Laguna in the magazine there's a box which says "Some sort of world map has appeared?!" - it shows screenshots of a traditional FF-looking world map and of Lightning, Kain and Tifa walking around the map.
The text tells us that the game will have a PS1-era style world map in full 3D where players can run around with a party of three characters of their choice, old-school style. There's no word in the magazine on how the world map feature will factor into the story. Closer inspection reveals that it's the world map from Final Fantasy I in its entirety, though it's unlikely that it'll feature Final Fantasy I locations you can enter.
Nevada Dru takes a look at Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and why it is a classic case of less is more.
Hardcore Gamer: The fighting franchise starring the heroes and villains of Final Fantasy is back in action. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is the third main entry in the franchise and the first to be released on a home console. Dissidia Final Fantasy and its follow-up, 012, were both released on the PSP in 2008 and 2012 respectively. It’s been a long time since the series was last seen and game design has changed drastically since then.
Given that, what’s the difference? How have the Dissidia games changed since the franchise’s inception on the PSP to the recent release on PS4. Here are the major changes between Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.
How do the two new Dissidia games stack up to the previous ones?
Although it doesn’t have Dissidia in its title, the Theatrhythm games are part of the franchise since they are spinoffs and feature Cosmos and Chaos
So there’s more than 4 games in the Dissidia franchise
True, but I wouldn't really count them as part of the same spinoff series. Plus, if I added Curtain Call to the list, none of the Dissidia games would have a fighting chance XD
Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Friday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 5 weeks past. I began this 6-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $85 per hour.. Go this web and start your work.. Good luck.... http://www.fl-y.com/3r8h
Wonder if the fact it's the FF1 map means there'll be other maps from the other games...
Surprsing. More curious about exactly what purpose it has though.
cool
Ok, I wasn't interested in this game as I thought it would just be Dissidia with new characters. But this new element may bring a refreshing new take to the game!
