Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade Adds Rabanastre Stage from Final Fantasy XII in Its December Content Update
Continuing to develop the three versus three arcade fighter, Square Enix and Koei Tecmo have revealed the new stage coming to Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade in its December content update. Coming from Final Fantasy XII and the hometown of protagonist Vaan, Rabanastre has players fighting within the castle grounds of this capital city.
As the fight rages on, the skybox of Rabanastre lights up as airships do battle with the Sky Fortress Bahamut, replicating one of the key story moments from Final Fantasy XII. Big story moments happening in the background of stages seems to be a recurring theme in Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade, with the Midgar stage showing the Meteor plummeting towards Earth, or the summoning of Alexander happening on the Alexandria stage.
If you want to see what a typical battle on Rabanastre looks like, check out the trailer below. It also acts as a mini-showcase for Vaan, as he beats up Final Fantasy villains like Garland and Kefka while he defends his home.
