Final Fantasy is a lot like Mario in that it’s one of the only series out there with so many iconic characters that you can basically fill an entire crossover game with Final Fantasy characters alone. That’s the entire thesis of the Dissidia games, bringing the cast from across three decades of history together, to often hilarious results. Seeing the stoic and subdued Noctis talk to the devilish Shantotto is objectively hilarious — and the new Dissidia has a setting absolutely ripe for those kinds of moments. That’s because Square Enix’s new mobile game, Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy, quite literally drops everyone into modern-day Japan. It’s already sounding like the most unique Dissidia game to date — but that might be a good thing.
Dissidia Duellum is coming to iOS and Android devices in 2026, and it’s genuinely kind of a bizarre little thing already. In the reveal trailer and loads of details already on the website, we can see characters like Lightning and Cloud transported to modern-day Japan, and given streetwear fits to match it. This has already led to hilarious results, like Kain Highwind in a fedora and knit coat, or Zidane rocking the t-shirt and dress vest combo that looks suspiciously like Android 18 from Dragon Ball.
