posted on by Kyle Hallmark
The official website of Square Enix's upcoming Dissidia Final Fantasy arcade game began streaming a battle video for Bartz Klauser on Friday. Bartz is the protagonist of Final Fantasy V.
Square Enix previously streamed battle videos of the characters Onion Knight, Cecil Harvey, Frioniel, and Warrior of Light. Additionally, Famitsu began streaming a video showcasing Cecil Harvey's command list on its official website for the game on Sunday.
Square Enix previously accepted applications to play trial sessions of the game ahead of its formal launch on November 26. Square Enix held the trial sessions on Saturday and Sunday with 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 events. The company hosted two sets of location tests across Japan in April.
The arcade game will feature a 3 vs. 3 battle system. The game will also include a summons gauge that players can use to summon Ifrit and other popular Final Fantasy summons when the gauge is full. Takeharu Ishimoto and his band The Death March will perform a new song for the game.
Koei Tecmo Games' Team Ninja (Dead or Alive series) is developing the game, which will use technology from a PlayStation 4 core system instead of a dedicated arcade circuit board.
Square Enix released Dissidia Final Fantasy, a PlayStation Portable fighting game featuring Final Fantasy heroes and villains, in 2008 in Japan, and in 2009 in other parts of the world. The company then released the Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy sequel in 2011 for the PSP with new characters, stages, and story.
