The officialDissidia Final Fantasy NTTwitter accountrevealed that two more costumes will be coming to the massive Final Fantasy crossover fighting game, starting on January 9th of next year. The first costume is of Safer Sephiroth, the iconic “One-Winged Angel” final form of the mainFinal Fantasy VIIantagonist. And the second is Rinoa fromFinal Fantasy VIII, or specifically based on early character designs from famed artist Yoshitaka Amano:
If you’re wondering why Rinoa is a blonde here, Amano is well known for favoring blonde haired characters in general and plenty of his designs feature them in some shape or form (see the original design forFFVI’s Terra Branford). It’s pretty nice regardless to see these designs transformed into actual outfits for the title.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has been regularly getting new characters such asÂTifa fromÂFinal Fantasy VII,ÂGabranth fromÂFinal Fantasy XII,and the most recently announcedArdynfromFinal Fantasy XV. New costumes were also added, such as bothCloud andÂSquallâs Kingdom Hearts looks as well as a free trial version of the game launched by the company.
Itâs possible that we could eventually beÂseeing Zack fromÂFFVII appear in the future. According to Game Director Takeo Kujiraoka during aÂTGS interview last year, he stated in his own words: âThe Japanese voice actor who plays Zack even came up to me and said he wants to appear in the game, so I think weâll have to get around to him eventually.â
DualShockers also spoke with the game director about theÂfuture of theÂDissidia franchise. For fans of the olderÂtitles, Kujiraoka stated heâd be interested in trying a moreÂtraditional one-on-one game but said it wouldnât really be possible to implement anything like that in the latest title.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NTÂis available now onÂPS4Â and PC. You can also try the free-to-play version of the game on all of the previously mentioned platforms.
