JUSTICE CREW - "QUE SERA"
10 years ago
|
Square Enix made formal announcement today of something we reported on last week courtesy of Jump. Dissidia Final Fantasy is getting a sequel, and it's going playable at the Tokyo Game Show later this week.
As reported last week, the new game is titled Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy. The "Duodecim" can be written as a 012, it seems.
Incidentally, in our headline, we wrote the name as Dissidia Final Fantasy 2 in order to avoid confusion. But you're probably already confused beyond repair. Blame Tetsuya Nomura for that!
Duodecim will add new characters, new maps, new BGM, and new battle system elements to the Final Fantasy crossover fight. A whole lot of new features, to be sure, but we only know of two specifics: playable Lightning (from FFXIII) and playable Kain (from FFIV). Square Enix assures that there will be more new characters than just these two.

The developer of the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona JRPG series is now set to start work on... Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 5, says the man behind Persona 3 and Persona 4.
It's been a long time since we last heard anything about the followup to PS2 swan song Persona 4 - the last we heard, longtime Atlus composer Shoji Meguro had been credited with doing the soundtrack to Persona 5, but nothing concrete materialized from those rumors.
Now, however, we may have something definite, reports Kotaku. Katsura Hashino, who previously worked as producer and director on both Persona 3 and Persona 4, told Japanese game mag Dengeki PlayStation that work was beginning on the next Persona - but that things might be changing up a bit.
"We are preparing to start work on the next Persona," said Hashino. "I want to add things that are being expected of the series," he elaborated, but added that he also wanted "to change things that can be changed within those boundaries."
Smart money says the next game will likely be about Japanese teenagers who have the ability to summon powerful alter egos based on their innermost selves, and who each fall into a different category of the tarot arcana. The power of said alter egos will depend as much on how much time the teenagers spend hanging out after school together as it does on how much time they spend level grinding in dungeons recreated out of the human psyche.
But that's just a guess. He did say that he wanted to change it up, though. So maybe they'll be... Japanese college students this time around? What would you like to see in a new Persona?
In other news, Kotaku's Brian Ashcraft has excellent taste in pairing preferences.
now there are 3 games that i cannot play. first Final Fantasy XIII, God of War and Persona 5. i just hope persona 5 will be in ps2 or psp console...
