Final Fantasy fans will have to make up their minds and say goodbye to this much-loved game. The end is near and a page will be definitively turned. But there is still hope.
As we learned last November, the game Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia will soon say goodbye. But there’s no question of leaving without giving some information, which is why Tetsuya Nomura, emblematic figure of Square Enix and the franchise, wanted to speak out and give some juicy information to sink your teeth into. Just so that this end of career for this episode is not (too) sad.
The end of an era for this Final Fantasy
A few months ago, Square Enix announced that Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia would close its doors on February 29, 2024 at 5:00 a.m. here. Now, the fateful moment is fast approaching and the players will have to make up their minds. As a final gift, Tetsuya Nomura gave some anecdotes and information about the game. Thus, as reported by Twitter user @aibo_ac7 (FF specialist), a Japanese video on the Square Enix YouTube account allows us to learn some information.
In particular, we can discover that Nomura aspires for the team to work hard to offer a new title in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series in the future. So we can expect a new episode to arrive one day. It’s pretty self-explanatory and Nomura says he remains open to exploring new possibilities for the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, hoping to offer a new title in the future. Without further details.
Obviously, the man also takes the opportunity to congratulate the script team for their work on the story of the game, emphasizing the very positive reception of it and the impressive management of a large number of characters. He also says he is surprised and touched by the lasting attachment of fans to the game, aware of the sadness of many players at its conclusion. For the record, the game mobilized 179 different voices for the characters, reflecting the extent and diversity of its universe.
Any hope for an offline version?
However, even in the face of requests for an offline version of the game, he mentions the challenges associated with the manpower required for such a project. He explains, however, that he will say more in an upcoming video about what that would entail. Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia therefore seems to be dead, for the moment.
Finally, an anecdote for fans: he considers himself the father of the Ultima weapon in the series, having wanted to introduce it despite the historical predominance of the Ragnarok weapon.
