Mechanics

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT for PS4 is a three-dimensional fighting game in which two teams consisting of three persons face each other. The battles take place on closed arenas and the action is presented from behind the back of the controlled character. The players can pick from more than twenty characters divided into four classes related to their skills and role in the battle (Vanguard, Assassin, Marksman, Specialist). Among the heroes there are protagonists and antagonists of main installments of Final Fantasy, including Noctis (Final Fantasy XV), Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII), Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII), Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI) and Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII).

The game utilizes a rebuilt and expanded combat system of its predecessors. Each character is described with a few statistics. The most important ones are health points and bravery. The objective is to eliminate opponents by reducing their health points to zero. The characters can use various attacks, each one assigned to one of two categories. Abilities and moves from the first category are reducing enemy bravery and the ones from the second category are using the bravery points to deal physical damage. The more bravery points the player has, the stronger the attacks are.

The Summons – i.e. powerful beasts called in by the players – are an additional help during the fight. They provide various bonuses. After winning the battle players receive experience points and money that enables them to unlock new weapons, skills and skins for the characters.
