This is, genuinely, the first time I’ve ever been hooked on an online-orientated competitive game.

Full of fan service, but struggles to welcome anyone who isn't already invested in Final Fantasy. [Apr 2018, p.74]

While the battle mechanics of this team brawler are pleasantly “different” and there is an abundance of cosmetic fan service items, the actual gaming content is quite shallow. Here you feel the most that the journey of the almost 30 beloved characters started in the arcades.

The Final Fantasy crossover gimmick almost feels like a distraction in what remains a uniquely innovative, but also frustratingly flawed, fighting game.

There's still a lot of growth potential in the Dissidia franchise, with its unique 'Bravery' system and strategic qualities. However, Square Enix doesn't exactly pull out all the stops with this iteration.

Dissidia itself is worth the trouble, for the hardest of the hardcore Final Fantasy fans. For everything it does wrong, it includes plenty of fan service.

In Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, the characters of Final Fantasy are once again brought together in the ultimate fight between good and evil, but an overly complicated play scheme and other decisions make for a game that you fight against, not a fighting game.
