Even though Dissidia Final Fantasy, the new entry of the series launching this year in Japanese arcades, has yet to be confirmed for home consoles, fans of the Square Enix series have been eagerly anticipating every bit of news on the playable characters that the new fighting game will include.
Yesterday it’s been confirmed that two characters who have been playable in the previous PSP games will also be available in the new Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade game – Bartz from Final Fantasy V and Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. Gameplay footage of both characters has been made available online a few hours ago in a new video which also details the most recent location test for the game which has been held in Japan not too long ago. You can find the Bartz and Squall footage from the 46:35 mark of the video at the end of this post.
Another Dissidia Final Fantasy gameplay video has been made available online around a week ago. The video showcases several of the confirmed playable characters – Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy I, Onion Knight from Final Fantasy III, Terra from Final Fantasy VI, Cloud from Final Fantasy VII and Y’shtola from Final Fantasy XIV.
Even though the full initial roster has yet to be confirmed in full, we already know Dissidia Final Fantasy is going to feature 14 characters at launch, with more characters getting added with future updates. Among the characters that will be made available after launch is Ramza Beoulve, main characters of the tactical role playing game Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions.
Dissidia Final Fantasy is currently set for a Fall 2015 release in Japanese arcades. While a console version has been confirmed, chances are high for a 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.
