Dissidia Final Fantasy will feature a three-versus-three combat compared to the previous one-versus-one format from its PSP predecessors. It will also run at 60 frames per second and will be developing using PlayStation core system. This means there’s a possibility that a PlayStation 4 version will be available, but don’t expect an early release as Dissidia will be expected to be an arcade exclusive for a year.
