Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has long been enjoyed at Japanese arcades since its original launch way back in 2015. Western audiences had to wait three years until a PlayStation 4 version was finally released in 2018. Publisher Square Enix wasn’t finished there however and late last year a free version dubbed Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Free Edition appeared on Japanese PS4 systems. The circle is finally closing with that Free Edition now being at the doorsteps of gamers outside Japan.
While a PS4 release was to be expected, it’s the announcement that PC users will for the first time get their hand on the action spin-off. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Free Edition will come out on Steam alongside the PS4 day and date.
Over twenty-four of FINAL FANTASY’s most recognisable faces have assembled to take part in interdimensional fisticuffs. Face off against other teams in action-packed, three-on-three melees that require sense as well as strength to win. Each combatant can be one of four types: vanguard, assassin, marksman, or specialist; play off your allies’ fighting styles, master the bravery system, and emerge triumphant from the clash of steel and sorcery!
So, what is the deal with this Free Edition then? Players will get the chance to try out a limited set of characters from the full game’s roster of iconic Final Fantasy characters in online tag-team battles. Of special note is that free players will be able to play against owners of the full game. If they enjoy certain characters, they can either purchase those specifically or get all content permanently by upgrading to the Standard Edition. This won’t just give buyers access to all 28 characters but the Story Mode, too.
Square Enix also plans to support Dissidia Final Fantasy NT post-launch with even more characters, weapons and skins. These will be part of a Season Pass. You can also just buy the Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Deluxe Edition which includes both the Standard Edition and the Season Pass.
