Square Enix have been hosting location tests for Dissidia Final Fantasy at arcade centers in Japan, and several key developers in Square Enix producer Ichiro Hazama, Koei Tecmo director Takeo Kujiraoka, and head of Team Ninja Yosuke Hayashi answered a few questions in an interview with Dengeki.

 

So far, it’s been announced that Dissidia Final Fantasy on arcade will feature characters from the first Final Fantasy up until Final Fantasy XIV. Dengeki asks if there’s a chance we’ll see Noctis from Final Fantasy XV as one of the characters that eventually makes it into the game.

 

“We’re thinking about it, of course. He would likely use something like his ‘Phantom Swords’,” Kujiraoka says with a laugh.

 

“There are even some among us that have been thinking about it, saying ‘if Noctis will be in it, how will he perform those warps?’” adds Hayashi.

 

“However, this will have to be after Final Fantasy XV releases,” Hazama says. “It would be a bit too much to play as a Final Fantasy XV character in arcades right after the demo.”

yes please

YEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!

You know, I always thought that Noctis would end up being the poster child for the next Dissidia game, since Warrior Of Light and Lightning had already been the leads in Dissida and Duodecim, respectively.  Since XV hasn't come out yet, I'm pretty sure Noctis won't be the new Dissidia's poster child, but I'm sure he'll make it into the game as a DLC character, and I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the roster!

was there really ever any doubt he'd be in it

I thought everyone knew he'd end up in the game. With how much XV is being marketed, this was pretty obvious. Heck, the original Theatrhythm had a DLC track from XV. Adding Noctis into Dissidia is an obvious move for Square.

it doesn't have to be marketed. Every numbered Final Fantasy has been represented in previous games, why would that change now?

So it all depends on when FFXV releases.....this has actually made me less hopeful for Noctis in Dissidia o_o
