›Story

A giant crystal appears in the city of Tokyo. The blue-glowing crystal blended into daily life and became a familiar presence. However, those peaceful times came to a sudden end. Strange monsters appear from a mysterious, menacing energy polluting the crystal, driving humanity to despair.

As terror dominates the city, armed warriors emerge, as if they were answering to a cry for help. As they conceal their identities and quickly disappear after battle, people began to call them 'ghosts'...

Gameplay

Similar to Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy revolves around two teams of three characters. The game is described as a "3vs3 Team Boss Battle Arena", where each team fights to see who can defeat the arena boss first through tasks such as purifying crystals for Bravery points, which are used to break through the arena boss's barrier and deal damage. Once the player has accumulated 9999 bravery points, their character can enter Bravery Burst. Players can only deal damage to the arena boss while their character's Bravery Burst is active.

At launch, Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy initially featured a total of 10 playable characters upon launch, consisting of both new and returning heroes in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series. More characters continue to be added through constant patch updates. Each character is assigned one of four roles (Melee, Ranged, Agile, Support), and each character has their own special abilities obtainable through the draw system.
