Square Enix have had a long history in the mobile gaming space, with the publisher porting many of its popular titles to the likes of Android and iOS. Following the launch of their most recent release – the mobile exclusive DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY – Square Enix have confirmed that they are “exploring the possibility of a PC version” though nothing is confirmed as of yet.
Taking part in an interview conducted by the publication Siliconera, DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY producer Naoya Matsumoto was asked about the possibility of bringing the mobile-exclusive title to the likes of the PC platform in future, “considering it must be played in Portrait Mode.”
According to Matsumoto, “We opted for the vertical screen because the game's concept is to be a ‘casual competitive game that anyone can easily play.' We determined that portrait mode was the most suitable choice because we prioritized controls that allow for casual, one-handed play on smartphones.”
Despite this, the producer did suggest that a wider release across more platforms is not out of the question, adding that “this constraint does not make a PC version impossible. While we cannot provide specific details at this time, we are currently exploring the possibility of a PC version.”
While far from official confirmation, the fact that Square Enix is ‘exploring’ the possibility means that it will quite likely find its way onto additional platforms eventually. Whether DISSIDIA DUELLUM would resonate with a wider audience remains to be seen, but given that the last major entry from a decade ago (Dissidia Final Fantasy NT) did eventually arrive on both PC and consoles, it is entirely possible.
We will have to wait and see, but in the meantime, DISSIDIA DUELLUM FINAL FANTASY is available to download now on iOS and Android.
KitGuru says: What do you think of the Dissidia sub-series? Is it more suited to mobile platforms? Would you want its console / PC release to be 1:1 with the mobile version, or should they turn it into a premium paid product? Let us know your thoughts down below.
