Square Enix has announced that Dissidia Final Fantasy is returning, but not under the circumstances that many fans hoped for.

Dissidia Final Fantasy started as a series of fighting games on the PSP that saw FF characters from every era battle it out, but publisher Square Enix has since used the Dissidia subtitle under almost any game that has its JRPG icons collide, most recently with Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia in 2017, also on mobile.
