It's a no from me dawg

They don't have the super moves from the original two games and no 1 v1. I always loved how people made their online fights in the original games look cinematic and ended their matches with the super move.

You won't get none of that with Dissidia NT. It's literally 3 v 3, three characters fighting at the same time instead of 1 character fighting another one and being able to swap out.

Jump Force does it better, Dissidia NT's only advantage is that it has the characters i care about and left no one out, unlike Jump Force.

I already have Jump Force, but I'm not about to make another mistake and buy the standard or deluxe for Dissidia NT. I'll try the free 2 play version for sure if I can play as Sephiroth, Ramza, Locke, Ace, Terra, Kain, Exdeath, etc. If not, oh well

You can play as all characters in the free edition but they are on a weekly rotation.
As for super moves every character still has them just in real time.

Garland has a Grab for example that does tons of damage and near a wall is a gauranteed wallrush and free HP hit if uninterupted.

It doesn't look cinematic at all, it looks like a regular move

How is that an excuse when the original two games did exactly what I'm talking about?

[Zappieroth]

It is an excuse, The only thing that pauses the match is the announcement of a summon entering the battle... It would be way too long a match and be way to annoying to have the match pause just so everyone can pull out some fancy looking final move.

Why play the game at all then? What's the rush?

[Nalverus]

This just sounds like you want a single player experience, which this is not. This isn't the game for you.

They aren't there because it would constantly get in the way of every other player the cinematic is not affecting. I don't think you want to watch cutscene after cutscene of everyone elses battle and not yours because it would put your fight on hold just to watch other people have fun.

If that sounds fun to you, then you absolutely are just a single player person :P

This line particularly killed me. You aren't playing if you're watching. The only time you're actually playing is when you're in control and inputting commands.

[Zappieroth]

What kind of strange answer is that dude? Start making some sense...

[xRainZx]

Uhhhhh..........no one would watch the cinematic. People will just skips them as soon as it starts. Look at extella link multiplayer.

There's no point putting cinematic that pause the gameplay so 5 other people have to watch it when it'll probably shows for less than 2 second before it get *skipped* back to real time gameplay by players.

Also, having super moves goes in real time emables other players to intervene or even maybe have unexpected result.

[Vashwave]

Summon animation that happens at max twice a match is seen as annoying by some people already.

Personally I don't mind these things though I feel you have to be somewhat of a patient person to have played NT on PS4 considering matchmaking and I do actually want to bring about a counter point.

SD Gundam Online a game that is essentially Dissidia/Gundam VS games but with free aim did have "press x to be cool" special moves with everyone else not being stuck watching the cutscene, it just made both players untouchable. Besides just being cinematic it did also add another layer as a desperation mechanic that could let you stall for time if you were surrounded for your buddies to come around.
(Think Cloud Omnislash with Limit in this game for both players for the whole duration.)

@0:40 You can see what I mean. @1:49 for outsider perspective.

It's obviously not happening for NT but just wanted to throw that out there, as it's been done by other games before but of course opinions will vary on it.

If it was a proper 1v1 the cinematic moves would be fine. However it's a 3v3 so you'd be interrupted by your team mate's special moves, possibly a lot of the time and it would just be annoying.

And people keep forgetting that this game is a port of an arcade game...where high speed action is key. Having cinematics or whatever just takes away from the game. In arcades anyways.

Judging from everything you have written so far, it's quite obvious you are going in with the mindset of "this isn't Duodecim/012, it sucks" so I don't really see the point of this post.

The point is the original games are better
