>Make each character have special powers that require different playstyles to use effectively

>Only allow the player to use a few of them, on rotation, at any given time

>Even if they buy the game to get the full roster, make them first come first serve - restricting players from using more than one of them in a game so it's a race to pick the character you know how to use

This kills any motivation I'd ever have to play games that implement such systems. Either make all of the characters have equal access to all abilities and governed by the same rulesets - or allow players to pick whoever the fuck they want and then just pallet swap to differentiate between them. But beyond that annoyance, it's a huge red-flag that the game is hyper casual and it doesn't really matter who you pick or how you play - because the entire thing is geared towards people who just picked up the controller for the first time or simply don't give a fuck.

Damn i never heard of this game, and is just my type of game it reminds me of Rise of Incarnates that got shutdown really quickly

>not providing a 1v1 option

You can do that in lobbies. But 1v1 doesn't make sense in NT.

>MUH 3v3 ESPORT BALANCE

Instead of AI Assists you have 2 other live players with all of their moves at their disposal + 2 extra abilities of your choosing. It's balanced very well in that regard.

>restricting players from using more than one of them in a game

What are you talking about? You can use the same characters in a team, there's no restriction. It's not really effective, but you can do it.

I'm probably going to buy it on PC too. Help me, I just really fucking love Dissidia since the original one.

Does it need PS Plus?

>>16225411

Having to manage 3 enemies on screen, their attack patterns, and the stage layout would have probably been too chaotic for most people so they made the stages simpler. My main problem in the game isn't the simplified moveset but the lack of movement options. It's so floaty like later Kingdom Hearts games. No fast dropping, attacks that double as movement options, teleports, and similar things.

That's more like a clone of Gundam Extreme Vs. Gundam Versus is stuck on the PS4 sadly and Gundam Extreme VS Full Boost is on the PS3.

It's pretty crazy what kind of retarded near communist level behavior control methods people are willing to put up with just to not have to spend money upfront for a game. Makes you wonder what the fuck these people were ever doing back when games used to be just "buy it and play it" with no strings attached.

I'm going to guess the original game didn't sell too well that they had to go the free-to-play route.

Imagine my shock.

does versus still have an active playerbase?

>the nips hated it so much they're making another exvs expansion

What was wrong with the original Dissidia gameplay?

>>16225757

The gameplay can work. I think if they changed the movement system to something that's more engaging like all the wall running and rails of the first game combined with character specific options. Give everyone a second HP attack and make it less about teamwork to do any sort of damage. You can expand upon certain characters to make them more team friendly and some characters who are good at soloing. That's just a start but I didn't play enough to really dig into the problems of the game.

>does versus still have an active playerbase?

I'll go online and check. I played a few months ago and it was still the same 30 or so people that kick everyone's asses.

>the nips hated it so much they're making another exvs expansion

Universal assists were a mistake. When every character can get out of any situation with an assist it gets annoying. Also boost dive can be considered excessive when it comes to movement. It's another movement option that they made while increasing the vertical homing of projectiles and increased boost recovery upon overheating. It's kind of not necessary for a game with tight movement that's already fast.

Also EXVS2 looks fun.

They have like 5 gachas out at the moment that are all in the top 10 lists in various countries. That alone funds pretty much everything else they do and then some.

>>16225757

Each character has several HPs, but only one active in a fight at a time. (Except Vaan whose gimmick is 2 HPs.) You pick an HP attack best suited for your current team, e.g. if you get two ranged teammates with ranged HP attacks you'll use a close range HP attack to maximise efficiency. EX abilities are standard for everyone and also should be changed according to team comp, they're nothing like abilities in the previous ones. That's why you're not automatically ready before each fight - to see what everyone else has and change accordingly.

Moves aren't simplified, they're balanced for arcade competitive play. The previous games were action RPGs full of fanservice posing as a fighting game, this is an arcade fighting game first, fanservice second. Yes, this is a problem because the fanbase is fucking retarded, but the game on its own has merit.

>no Laguna

>no Gilgamesh

>no TIfa

>no Gabranth

>Yuna cut as DLC

>couldn't even bother to get an actual FF13 villain to represent it on the villain side, got depressed Snow instead

I'm baffled by some of these roster removals. Wouldn't ideally you take the base cast from Duodecim (save Feral Chaos I guess) and then add more? What on earth would make them think removing popular characters like Tifa and Gilgamesh from the FF equivalent of smash was a good idea. Save for trying to get DLC shekels, the fucking kikes.

>World Of Final Fantasy.

Still makes me fucking mad that people bought FFXV over WOFF.

There have been more FF mobile games in the last 5 years alone than there have been main line entries in a decade.
