DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY immediately immerses players in a 3v3 Team Boss Battle Arena. It combines competitive online multiplayer with action RPG mechanics. In the PvPvE setup, teamwork is vital to defeat the big bosses.
In effect, two teams compete to be the first to defeat a giant boss, so you will need a smart strategy and quick movement. It’s a little like teaming up on a boss while also competing with other players which feels very new for mobile. The game was developed by Square Enix and NHN PlayArt, which is also its publisher.
DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY uses a PvPvE ‘Team Boss Battle Arena’ format, which immediately makes it different from most competitive games. Instead of fighting each other head-on, two teams of three players are actually racing to take down one huge monster first. It’s a pretty clever blend of working together on a boss and still having that competitive team pressure.
When you’re on the map, don’t run straight into a boss. You’ll need to ice smaller monsters to purify crystals and supplement your team’s Bravery gauge. You might take some games to get accustomed to a match-up like this, but it is guaranteed to change the way you think about team battles and the environment.
You can build your ultimate team from tons of classic FINAL FANTASY characters, each bringing their own distinct abilities and roles like Melee, Ranged, Agile, or Support. DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY then throws all these familiar faces into modern-day Tokyo, which is a big change from the usual fantasy worlds. It’s a cool visual change when you see Cloud or Lightning navigating a busy city street instead of a fantasy plain.
The game uses cel-shaded graphics that make the characters and their new city surroundings really pop. While the cel-shaded graphics look great, the shift from classic fantasy settings to modern Tokyo might not be for every long-time fan. Still, there’s a fully voice-acted story in Japanese that lets you dive into how these legendary warriors are adapting to a world they never expected.
The whole game in DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY pretty much comes down to building up and then letting loose those huge ‘Bravery Burst’ attacks to take down the main boss. You actually can’t hurt the boss directly until you’ve done this crucial step. That means while one teammate might be distracting the boss, another could be scrambling to clear out smaller enemies and purify crystals to fill up your shared ‘Bravery’ gauge.
Once that Bravery gauge is full, one player can trigger a ‘Bravery Burst,’ letting your whole team dish out serious damage to the boss for a short time. Getting these bursts to sync up with your teammates is super important if you want to maximize damage and be the first team to drain the boss’s health.
DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY uses a gacha system where you can get new characters and powerful abilities. This system lets you customize your characters quite a bit, so you can really tailor their loadouts to how you like to play and what your team needs. Imagine pulling a super rare ability right at the start.
Rerolling your first ability summon is a trick that new players should know, and you can do it multiple times. With this, it will be much easier to get at least two or more Ultra Rare abilities. Naturally, using a gacha system involves a bit of luck, and forming your dream team can take a while.
DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY tells its story through a fully voice-acted narrative, all in Japanese. Hearing the characters’ familiar voices in Japanese as they react to their new surroundings really adds to the experience, pulling you further into the lives of these FINAL FANTASY warriors in their modern world.
Along with that great audio, the game also has some visually striking cel-shaded graphics. Even though the visuals are distinct, this particular art style might not appeal to everyone looking for a hyper-realistic FINAL FANTASY look.
DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY looks like it’s going to bring something genuinely new for both FINAL FANTASY fans and mobile players. It’s got that interesting PvPvE ‘Team Boss Battle Arena’ setup, which mixes cooperative and competitive action nicely, all happening in a cool modern-day Tokyo.
