Neither of them were playable. The chaos that was playable was this broken thing no one wanted to use:

Oh yeah that Chaos. Feral Chaos!
Taught me never to say that I'm a Dissidia Expert.
Regular Chaos was at least a boss that could function as a regular playable character if hacked to be selectable. Cosmos had no gameplay role at all.

Not for now at least. I hope we get an announcement soon to coincide with the VII remake.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Why? The arcade itself uses PS4 style controllers and engine architecture.

And almost everything bar Type-0, FF15 and KH3 have been PS4 exclusives from Square's japanese wing... if it's console games at least.
He did all the Vanitas themes. Best boss music in the game lol.

This is will probably be my first beat up type game since I bought the original on PSP...
do we know if the story mode is strictly round-based battles?
I mean, there's no world to traverse around, enemies on a field, villages or stuff like that right?
I played dissidia PSP so long ago I can't remember how the progress was, I remember moving from one piece to the next and at the end fighting a boss, which was one of the main baddies.

Why Dissidia NT won't be as good as Dissidia 012:
- 3v3 design at the base makes it much more competitive focused and less fun focused for individual players
- Having to support 6 players causes the majority of maps to be big wide flat areas. Gone is the classic design of stages in Dissidia with lots of random obstacles and verticality.
- Doesn't look like they're going to bother with the Labyrinth Mode from Dissidia 012 which was like a 100 hour timesink for me. That was sooooooooooo fun.

am i the only one who thinks that the characters movements looks very stiff compared to previous games? like completely weightless even when on ground.
edit: yeah after watching gameplay footage of 012, it looks and feels way better.

less floaty, less messey, attacks feels more satisfying.

Are you kidding? To hell with that Clock Tower stage, I'm glad its gone lol
What mods?
Yeah, it just feels so bare bones compared to the first two games as well.
Looking back on it, props to Tetsuya Nomura. He really did make a great game with Dissidia.
Not that it will make the story good/much better but they will have worked on it for a lot longer than 6 months considering in early February of this year they said they had already been working on it.
Dissidia had fantastic mods.
I had some others too like one that turned Squall into Balthier and one that turned Lightning into Aqua from Kingdom Hearts as well as Type-0 school uniforms for every character like the Tifa one above
Didn't they say that they were sorry that they hadn't got started on it yet but they were going to get cracking on it soon?
Lets be generous and say 8-10 mobths. That's still not long. Especially as we know team ninja has been stretched, and thats why their arcade updates have been so slow.
I don't think they said that, if they did it was probably last year (though I might have missed something) so a while ago. They said they were already working on it as of early February this year so they will have at the very least a year.

In a long line of absolutely ridiculous square enix titles/subtitles, this might be one of the most normal ones ever. Lol
Is there any word on them including the characters have already been added to the Arcade version on launch?
The character screen in the OP only seems to have the Arcade launch characters...

Honestly it just seems to be a reused trailer lol. Some tossed in english names and what not but very sure weve seen all that footage before.
This is what FFXI looks like during battle by default:
Outside battle it has even fewer elements. If you need to see more info, you open menus for that separately.
Still retains the general Shantotto-ness, and Shantotto prime herself is tempted for a while to follow the same route.
Thing is, XI's Vana'diel is pretty the Latveria to Shantotto's Dr Doom - there's only so much she'll inflict on her own backyard. Speaking of which...
She put a mortal curse on guy who just wanted an interview with her because she assumed he was a peeping tom, and she's all too willing to pin the blame on someone else - this is pretty much the in the immediate vicinity of her house, and as one of the earlier quests in the game ("Curses, Foiled Again!") and associated with her - pretty much a character establishing moment.
It was a seasonal cross-promotional event, not intended to have major consequences - I can't help but wonder how things might play out if her stay wasn't meant to be temporary... Can't help but think of the concept of Dr Doom outside Latveria...
I liked how the original Dissidia's story referenced story beats and tone from each character's game, despite a different environment and cast - I hope they retain that in the very least.
Some videos showing off character moves usually only show 2 characters... not sure if that's a special mode, or if they're just not filming everyone else...

Still not a fan of 3v3.
Apart from all the usual complaints, it also lead to the loss of Ex-bursts. I find it very wrong that game about celebrating all these characters clashing together, does not have their signature ultimate attacks, cuz "you can't force other 5 players to watch your cutscene attack"

the UI is still godawful, not sure I like the 3v3 either. Looks very busy and cluttered and it takes away from what I liked about the previous games.
Even then, I'm still very hyped as I loved the PSP games, although I am a bit concerned about how the final product will end up like.

Haha. I remember that. It's always left ambiguous as to whether she would really have let any of the people she curses die though. She's certainly a bully but I always get the impression that she's not a murderer.

We've not seen the ffviii stage yet, have we? Can't wait to see that one, everything VIII makes me all kinds of nostalgic.

Well, if 3v3 wasn't working, I don't think the arcade version would have seen the day. I think they knew about a possible console release from the get go and took advantage of that to refine and polish the game in arcade based on players feedback. I think 3v3 is refreshing and could bring a lot of new team strategies that wasn't possible in the previous games.

FFIV, FFVIII and FFXI haven't got their stages yet but we should have a stage announcement next month as well so I predict that it might be FFVIII stage this time.

I don't find the sacrifice of all the things I like (speed, cinematic super attacks, focused 1v1 combat, bigger movesets) for the sake of a game structure I heavily dislike. I am one of those who, even during few moments I actually bothered to play Smash Brothers, played it 1v1 no items, final destination.
One's mileage will, without a doubt, vary. But to me, it's a loss/loss situation. A game I enjoyed migrated to a subgenre I hate and removed a bunch of features I liked to accomodate for the shift to something I fundamentally dislike.
