Dissidia Final Fantasy To Feature 4 Different Character Types, Summons To Come With Bonus Effects
Earlier this week Japanese magazine Famitsu has confirmed on its official website that Dissidia Final Fantasy, the new entry of the series featuring characters from all Final Fantasy games, was going to receive additional details on the next issue of the magazine. Famitsu has been leaked online a few hours ago and a translation of the game’s coverage has been made available, revealing some interesting new gameplay details.
Dissidia Final Fantasy is going to feature 4 different character types, Heavy, Shoot, Speed and Unique, each one with his or her own unique abilities. Among the Unique type characters will be Bartz from Final Fantasy V, with each move representing a Job like in previous games. Other returning characters will also play somewhat different from the previous entries of the series, with tweaks to existing special moves and EX Skills.
Here a summary of what Famitsu revealed on Dissidia Final Fantasy in this week’s issue.
-There are 4 types Heavy, Shoot, Speed and Unique.
-Each character has 1 HP attack at first but learns more as you level up.
-Heavy’s main characteristic is a wide attack radius. Speed is high mobility. Shoot is having long range attacks. Unique is somebody that doesn’t belong to the above.
-Firion is a heavy-type who specializes in ground attacks. His combo system from 012 is expanded and now has a 3rd attack with 3 variations. Only has one air attack which is Sword Blow. HP Attack is Lord of Arms and EX skill is Blood Weapon.
-Cecil is a Heavy-type who can switch between Paladin and Dark Knight. Paladin is a Heavy-Speed hybrid and DK is a Heavy-Shoot hybrid. His EX is Job change, when it’s used he gains extra stats for brief period of time. Paladin has 3 air braves and one ground. DK has 3 ground and 1 air.
-Bartz is a Unique-type Job Master, each move represents a job. He is late-game type character comparable to late-game carries from MOBA and RTS games. His early game is weak but as he masters his jobs (by using a move repetitively) the move is upgraded and he gains a special buff(i.e Dragoon’s buff is Defence Up), HP attack doesn’t give a buff. His Jobs are Monk, Dragoon, Black Mage, Mystic Knight, Blue Mage, Hunter, Ninja and Samurai. EX Skill is Lucky Charm(?) and gives his buffs to his allies.
-All summons have a bonus effect. Ifrit is Attack up, Shiva is Base Brave Up and Ramuh is EX Skill Recharge up.
Previously announced character’s balance changes and director comments:
-WoL’s EX Skill is no longer global, has a limited range. Shield of Light stuns opponent when guarding a brave attack.
-OK’s type change to Unique instead of Speed. The closer he is to the enemy when using a physical attack the more his EX gauge fills. Vice-versa for magic. This concept was planned for the first Dissidia but wasn’t implemented apparently.
-Terra voice is based on her personality after fighting Phunbaba.
-Cloud is strong in separating an enemy from his group and fighting them 1v1. His charge can be dodge cancelled now.
-As opposed to OK, Lightning is still a speed type.
-Y’shtola’s specialises in supporting her allies and her spells have a bonus effects other than damage as in FFXIV. Aero applies a DoT, Stone applies a slow and Blizzara binds the enemy. She can heal her allies too apparently.
Dissidia Final Fantasy is currently set for a Fall 2015 release in Japanese arcades. While a console version hasn’t been confirmed, chances are high for a Dissidia Final Fantasy PlayStation 4 version as the arcade version uses the console’s hardware. A home console release, however, will only come some time after the arcade version launches

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
