Square Enix representative Mat Kishimoto got to have a nice long sit-down with the developers of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT at this year’s E3. Takeo Kujiraoka — the game’s director — and Ichiro Hazama — the producer — gave the lucky audience a fun and interactive look into their new fighter coming to PlayStation 4 in 2018.
With the translation aid of Aileen Matsuoka, the director-producer duo explained the inspiration behind the new 3v3 battle format, why teaming up with Team Ninja for their latest project was a great idea, and the reason behind why Dissidia Final Fantasy NT‘s UI/HUD is so bedazzling. Perhaps just as valuable as the updates on the franchise’s future is the breakdown of Dissidia’s core mechanics, since many fans have never had a chance to play the older portable-exclusive PSP titles that precede the arcade game.
The mechanic breakdown starts at 12:05, but if you’re seeking a thorough look into the perplexing world of Dissidia Final Fantasy, the full panel is well worth the watch.
