Today, Square Enix announced that it has delayed Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia -- the upcoming smartphone game -- which was previously planned to release in 2016 in Japan. So, what's the new release? Well, a specific date wasn't provided, but Square has said it will arrive sometime in early 2017.
Bug issues/time needed to remedy them was cited as the issue. Additionally, Square also confirmed a cast of characters are set to appear in the game when it launches.
- Squall (Final Fantasy VIII)
- Eiko (Final Fantasy IX)
- Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
- Vanille (Final Fantasy XIII)
- Ace (Final Fantasy Type-0)
- Galuf Halm Baldesion (Final Fantasy V)
- Shantotto (Final Fantasy XI)
As you can see from the picture, there are still a whole set of characters who haven't been revealed yet (and based off their silhouettes I'm sure you know who they are), which likely means they will be revealed soon. When they do, you'll be able to read it here on DualShockers.
