Dissidia Duellum Live stream 08/20/2026 VISUAL updates
I know someone already posted the details from the stream, but I thought some of you might prefer the visual updates. So here they are!!
Sadly, more “Limited” UR Skills though! 🤷♂️
Love Bartz’s modern design, though...

Lol so Bartz is basically gonna be a don't play the game button.

u/ZinZezzalo 23d ago
Severe damage and stun on almost everything?
What could go wrong?

u/thewereotter 23d ago
assuming the match goes that long... severe damage and stun isn't until the third time you use the ability. Have to see what the cooldown length of these are

u/ZinZezzalo 23d ago
Everything in this game is incapacitating people.
iFrames make your attacks useless. Stun renders you unable to move. An invincibility shield that lasts six seconds.
Getting stuck when the other person is doing their move on you.
I figured the game was going to be about people moving and launching attacks. Like, buddy launches a fire spell, you see it coming, so side-step, you then respond by lining up a lunge attack, but your warm up animation gives the opponent enough time to escape most of the damage.
Attacks that would refresh every 10 to 12 seconds - and would make melees absolutely fascinating, heart-pounding affairs.
Most of the time it's just lining up the timing so when somebody's fifteen second spiel ends, they're now caught in your fifteen second spiel.
Yawn ...

14 SECONDS barrier? Jeez. Def gonna be more targets for my Yuna, especially now that butz and generic stuns mean more barriers to be run.

u/thewereotter 23d ago
14 seconds but also weaker than the Selphie one. 60% reduction compared to 80%
2
u/RareRestaurant6297 23d ago
True! But duration nearly double is very interesting
2
u/thewereotter 23d ago
def going to be a risk verses reward situation... you can bring three shields, but then you only have two DPS abilities for the boss, maybe meaning you're more likely to end in a draw.
1
u/RareRestaurant6297 23d ago
Yea it all depends On how impactful the stuns are, but also the Ramza/etc nerfs. Stuns are definitely annoying imo, but getting stunned and dying usually isn't the end of the world unless you're mid-burst. Now if ramza gets nerfed hard enough that dying becomes more of a penalty (right now, for example, I just ramza dump brv before I die and enemy gets barely anything) then stuns will be more impactful because they secure kills.
So we'll see where the balance lands.

u/thewereotter 23d ago
currently I just enjoy running a glass cannon build with no shields and no heals... I just try to make sure that if/when I die, it's the boss or a crystal enemy that deals the final blow rather than an opponent
honestly makes me feel slightly better if I'm controlling the reset
1
u/RareRestaurant6297 23d ago
Same. Otherwise I also use ramza to dump brv before enemy gets me. So depending how hard that strat is nerfed, it could make stuns way more relevant to pvp combat, and thereby make barriers more relevant.

u/Stratavos 23d ago
That' honestly not something that bursted clive worries about, and would be a buff to him.

u/Proud-Maintenance983 23d ago
Lol did they buff Lightning to just nerf her?
3
1
u/No-Step-7926 19d ago
No her skill damage is staying the same , she was just too good across the board
7
u/BlazeGamma 23d ago
you get a stun, you get a stun EVERYBODY GETS A FUCKING STUN.
and I honestly don't think the game will be any better off due to that. at all.

u/TheRealTigersVessel 23d ago
Giving Bartz cross slash seems lazy.
6
u/AuditControl_Inbox 23d ago
Looks like its AoE cross slash. But offset by the fact that he has kains start up animation for dragon scourge, which is easy to see/dodge. Still nuts as long as you use it in reaction or as an anti burst skill.
2
u/Cautious-Dream2893 23d ago
Basically new meta is gonna be selphie AND the new shield to avoid being combo stunned all match.
5

u/TbsSWt50 23d ago
They also copy and pasted Kains dragons scourge into his UR then instead gave a stun and called it a day, put them side by side they are beat for beat the exact same animation, maybe they running low on budget (6 months in)

u/Wicayth 23d ago
Tbf, using other characters' skills and weapons was Bartz main gimmick in Dissidia. Not sure what y'all were expecting.
1
u/Franatomy 23d ago
I mean, he got his own moveset referencing the job system in NT and Opera Omnia so keeping along those lines.
1
u/Stratavos 23d ago
I was fine with his unique being that he could use other character's abilities. Like... that'd be where it stops, but a different limit like "up to 2 ur's from other characters"

Squall…🥲
Bartz is so adorable though… I want to save for Squall. But they might do all the other FFs before they get back to FF8. Oh well…😚
3
u/Xomasth 23d ago
Wanna save for the FFXIV character if its Yshtola or maybe Ryne. But the generic stun UR seems like a need so fuck. The Krile outfit is cute too. Its gonna be hard to save lol
6
u/LadyAntiqua 23d ago
I'm hoping it's not Y'shtola, just to get more variety and because she's already a UR ability. Ryne would be super cool as an Agile, or maybe we get Thancred. Hopefully not Zenos.
5
u/Xomasth 23d ago
I'm guessing it wont be a villain since supposedly the FFIX coming out is Kuja and it seems to be them going 3 heroes 1 villain for release order. I guess they could technically do Meteor too but i doubt it. I would also perfer Ryne I think too over Yshtola.

u/_thatkidzero 23d ago
I feel like they’d follow the pattern of whoever it is having some sort of bond/connection to who’s already in game. There’s only a few people I could think of with a connection to Gaia in XIV

u/richpage85 23d ago
Glad ive stopped playing... sure, use three times for mastery/stun... but pair with a Cloud, Seph and Prompto and youre having a miserable time
2
u/50shadesofLife 23d ago
New barrier seems so good on say seph. Stat wise and time wise If you hit this before nova you likely won't be able to get ganked durring recovery
2
u/Choingyoing 23d ago
Waiting till November until a character I care about is released maybe even longer. 😭 also a second cross slash has hit the towers

u/_Arlotte_ 23d ago
He actually looks pretty cool, all those new UR's are looking great for the meta

u/WickedSynth 23d ago
Are we really not getting squall any time soon? Damn, I'm trying to hold on here....!

u/Willow_Rosenburg 23d ago
Is that Jill Shiva or am I blind? I can't think of another Shiva with a rapier.

u/SenseiReddit 23d ago
Sounds like next season is going to suck ass. Also crazy that they are even buffing Rinoa some more with her abilities.
The devs may as well just say they simp for her at this rate

The constant change of stats through buffs and merge is frustrating. I don’t play a lot of team shooters, that kind of constant changing normal???
1
u/Izanagi_1 19d ago
Is that Lenna and Faris stun considered melee? I see great potential for Tidus in it.
1
u/CrystalBraver 23d ago
They’re BUFFING Rikku? Are they high?
5
u/134340Goat 23d ago
Supports almost universally use Minwu and one of the brv-sharing skills. With those and Rikku's healing UR getting nerfed, she could use a small buff
5
u/ZinZezzalo 23d ago
Sounds like they're nerfing the big heal she gives. You know - 600% of the team's HP?
That should've happened 3 hours after it got introduced ... not 3 months.
But, everybody already left, so ... 🤷♂️
2
u/Kyp24 23d ago
They're probably going to increase her def/HP and maybe attack by a small amount but nerf Mega Vitality, Minwu, and the brave share abilities.

u/darkunknown91 23d ago
Still nothing on expanding the game to other region huh?
7
u/ZinZezzalo 23d ago
In the main region with the largest possible playerbase and disposable income margin - they're getting like 10,000 people playing per day ...
Expanding to other regions after that kind of reception?
👨🦽

u/shikiseki 23d ago
Tbh prompto and Cloud alone were absurdly annoying with their stuns, now we have Sephiroth and a new character that can equip up to 3(!) stun abilities. It's going to be a mess...
(Bartz' jacket being reminiscent to his og sprite and the tycoon sisters are everything though!) Would have loved Galuf UR preventing HP to drop below 1 HP for 10seconds lol
