It's a fully fledged JRPG, albeit in a mobile free to play shell.ĭissidia Final Fantasy NT is, well, not an RPG. In fact, Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia feels like a more traditional experience in a number of ways.Ī party of recognisable characters, weapon and equipment upgrades (which fit neatly into the free to play gacha mechanic that distributes equipment), the turn based battles, even the enemies you fight are familiar. While Dissidia Final Fantasy NT on consoles continues the spin off's team arena battles, Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia actually goes for the more traditional turn based battle system. Well despite both being Dissidia games, and bringing Final Fantasy characters from across the series together, they play very differently indeed. Understandable, really - you'd feel lost if you were instantly warped to a world possibly even more fantastical than the one you're used to. Safety in numbers, and all that.Ĭharacters that have appeared in previous Dissidia games are knowledgeable about the world around them, while those new to the franchise act very lost. You'll run into characters literally just wandering the world, lost in a cave or strolling through a desert, and another Final Fantasy protagonist will just walk up and they'll decide to hang out. Outside of battles, the way you assemble your team of ragtag protagonists and the fun character interactions are pretty similar across the two titles. You can kill enemies simply by unloading HP Attacks, but knocking down their Brave meter in order to delay their moves and damage enemy morale is a key mechanic. In Dissidia for consoles, this mechanic is of course here, allowing you do combos and move enemies away from zones with your Brave attacks, hacking away at the enemy's meter and interrupting any of their moves with well timed counters. Instead, doing battle against enemies is much easier when you chip away at their Brave meter, before moving in for a big attack. In the Dissidia games, smashing away at your enemy's HP isn't always the best way to win the war. We'll help you narrow down your options right here. It's already going to be tough to pick between the two, and if you're going to pick only one, then it's got to be the right game for you. In the blue corner, we have Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, the mobile game that you can play while sitting on the toilet. In the red corner we've got Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, the big budget console release that fans have been waiting for.

After a long wait, Final Fantasy fans are utterly spoiled for choice today, since they can pick between two brand new Dissidia games to sink their teeth in to.
