New Final Fantasy Dissidia a BIG dissapointment!

So that new Developers Blog got my hopes up..

The new Final Fantasy Dissidia is becoming an arcade game and it's highly unlikely North America will see a localization of it in US Arcade hang outs unless they import it.

I was really hoping for another hand-held console/digital download Dissidia but nope. This is kind of a disappointment.

Can always hope it gets ported to a system. I certainly am.

With all of SE's past arcade games.. none have ever been ported to a console. :\

Traditionally, fighting games in japan come out on the arcade first, and later on get ported over to consoles. Which arcade games are you basing this on? It doesn't specifically say in the dev blog entry that they weren't going to import Dissidia via consoles overseas later on. Not making console ports would be a huge mistake as it is, because not only is Dissidia a hit with fans, but it would be bad business for SE.

Let's not jump to conclusions until more concrete info is released, yeah? I mean, the news was released just a few days ago.

Everybody had lost hope about a western release of Final Fantasy Type-0. And SE brings a HD remaster for PS4 and Xbox One next month.

It's is too early to jump to conclusions about a western release for consoles. FF is the strongest SE franchise.

errr... Ehzgeiz did have PS1 port. Plus, I think I read it somewhere that FFD arcade might have console port after arcade release.

I assume they're releasing it as an arcade game first to possibly work out balance issues first. And why wouldn't it turn up on home consoles like every other Arcade game?

from a marketing standpoint, if enough consumers voice their excitement and hopes for a regional/platform specific release they will do it. Rally a bunch of people in various community forums related to dissidia/genre and start a petition.

I bet all my gill this will come out on Console.

This is a bit different than other arcade games. This is a game that has prior titles that are in fact on the handheld. Plus I highly doubt they would take their most popular series (final fantasy) that has been on handheld and make brand new models updated graphics etc and only put it on a arcade machine.. I would truly hope SE wouldn't be so oblivious to its fans that they only make it for japan arcades..

As a member of the Fighting Game Community, I can easily say that, as others have posted above, that Japanese fighting games almost always come out in arcades first. As for a western localization, I've got my fingers crossed for both this game and Pokken Tournament to make the jump to NA at some point on consoles. Not to say it will happen anytime soon, some of these games can be out a year or more in overseas arcades before making the leap to NA consoles. But it's always fun to hope!

Oh yes! There will be much rejoicing! :D

I'm just going to wait and see on this news. As for everyone outraged by this news, instead of posting on the English language forum for FFXIV, how about going bringing your outrage to Square-Enix's Facebook and Twitter? You know, actually be proactive.

PS Vitia Version yes please :D
since the last 2 games where on the PSP

I think many Western players are tired of FF type games. The last few main FF games got mediocre to bad reviews, not because the games were bad, but because the formula were similar. Japanese players still love these games, so they will keep releasing in Japan.

just wait til 2020 when it comes out on ps5 and xbox none, and not pc ass disced HD: final fantasy


in seriousness though: i want it so bad to come to the uk on ps4 or vita
@radkat: ff13 although disliked was still the best selling games of final fantasy before that 12 before that 11 and before THAT 10 (seeing a pattern XD)

dissidia 1 and dissidia 012 both had extremely strong positive reviews, the third game would only receive stronger reviews in the western world as long as it feels the same to the first two with a large loveable cast to select, so far the only new face is Y'sthola, and if it is a arcade i am hoping for at least 8 more characters :c )
