Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Roster: All Characters playable in the FF cross-over fighter, including DLC

by RPG Site Staff on 30 January, 2018

After a few years working up a strong reputation for healthy competition in Japanese arcades, Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade is finally coming to PS4 with a name change: Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. As you'd expect, it comes packing a roster filled with some of the most famous characters from Final Fantasy history.

The cross-over fighter features heroes and Villains from FF history - and they're then tasked with fighting it out in high-octane three-on-three combat. Each character has their own unique moves and approach to combat - if you want to know more on that, check out our Dissidia NT Move Lists guide. The game will also be expanded with DLC and season pass characters, and Square has begun hinting at who they might be. 

The cast of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT are split into four different basic character classes - Vanguard, Assassin, Marksman and Specialist - so let's talk a little about that.

These classes will give you a broad idea of how each character plays, so before we list the roster, let's explain those:

  • Vanguard class characters are your basic classic RPG tanks. They have strong bravery attacks that usually have good range. The trade off is that they're more limited. They tend to beat Assassins, but lose to Marksmen.

  • Assassin class characters are fast and speedy, though they do less damage as a result. They can triple jump and are all about getting in close for hit-and-run attacks. They'll tend to beat Marksmen, but Vanguards can knock them down easily if they can catch them.

  • Marksman class characters are all about ranged attacks using magic and other projectiles. They're weak at close range, but can defeat slower characters like Vangaurds from afar before they can even get close. Assassin's can chase them down easily, however.

  • Specialist class characters are unique, featuring a gameplay style with a special gimmick that means they don't fit into any specific class. Onion Knight is a specialist, for instance, and he can switch between different 'jobs' that change his skill set and stats.
