Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia

Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia was a free-to-play game in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series for the iOS and Android platforms, co-developed by Square Enix and Team Ninja of Koei Tecmo, and published by Square Enix. The game was released in Japan on February 1, 2017 and worldwide at the end of January 2018. While the battle system was more similar to a traditional JRPG than to a brawler, it featured mechanics from previous Dissidia titles, such as BP and HP being separate forms of damage, Wall Crushes, and special team attacks delivered in the style of EX Bursts.
After a seven-year run in Japan and a six-year international run, service concluded February 29, 2024. 
==Gameplay==
Opera Omnia followed with the mission-based gameplay of contemporary Square Enix mobile games. The player traversed a series of fixed maps in story mode, following the game's narrative while fighting baddies and collecting materials for the various cast members and their equipment. The player could also undertake series of rotating mission campaigns to collect new characters and other rare items, either solo or with the aid of their fellow players.
Battles for each mission occurred in waves, which required the player to plan in advance based upon the types of enemies to be encountered. From this, the player assembled a party of three units, each possessing different attacks and skills, to complete each mission as efficiently as possible.
==Characters==
The following characters were available as of the Japanese release. Characters were recruited either through story chapters, time-limited events, Lost Chapters which allowed past event characters to be available permanently, or by getting their weapons.

==Story==
The events that took place were complementary to those that transpire in the world of the Dissidia Final Fantasy NT since they share the same gods and the same crystals.
The world was created by Spiritus and Materia as a paradise where their champions could rest from the battles they clashed in the other world. However, one day time and space started to crumble as dimensional distortions, called Torsions, began to appear and several armies of monsters came out of them.
With the equilibrium endangered, the crystals summoned an ancient moogle, named Mog, from the past to help them recover the stability that was about to be lost for good. By gathering "light" with the help of the champions from varied worlds, Mog began an adventure to finish with the end of the world before it is too late.
==Development==
The game's official unveiling was on August 27, 2016, with the initial trailer being shown during the game’s special livestream event. It was revealed that the game would incorporate a turn-based combat system using the Bravery and Break system from the original fighting games. The game's announcement also mentioned that it would feature iconic characters from various games in the Final Fantasy franchise for the player to choose from, including those who never appeared in the original titles, such as Vivi from Final Fantasy IX.
For the first time in the series, character designer Tetsuya Nomura would not handle the character designs for the game. The character designer was announced to be freelance artist Fubuki, who would draw chibi-variants of classic characters. https://twitter.com/fubuki_works
The game was originally set to release in Japanese during the late quarter of 2016, however it was eventually delayed to be released on February 1st, 2017 instead.http://novacrystallis.com/2016/11/dissidia-final-fantasy-opera-omnia-delayed-early-2017/
The release of the global version was announced on January 16, 2018. Players whom pre-followed Opera Omnia social media accounts received a gift at launch. The game was released globally on January 30, 2018.
===Withdrawal from Belgium===
On November 6, 2018, Opera Omnia announced its intent to withdraw from Belgium, citing a lack of clarity in the country's gaming laws, which currently forbid gambling without a license and do not provide guidance regarding loot crates or gacha as used in-game. This voluntary withdrawal occurred with the release of client 1.6.0 on December 19, 2018. 
===Game ratings revision===
At launch, Opera Omnia was published with ratings suitable for preteen audiences (e.g. ESRB E10+, Apple 9+). Following content updates in 2023, however, some agencies have issued stricter ratings; the game is currently rated for ages 13 and up by these agencies. Considering that most games in the main series are also rated for the same audience, it remains unknown whether the revision was prompted by changes in ratings standards, is a correction of a previous assessment, or was the result of an overall darker and more mature tone given to the story.
===Worldwide closure===
On November 29, 2023, developers announced a pending end-of-service effective February 29, 2024, citing quality-of-service issues as well as the conclusion of the story. Numerous campaigns were charted out for the sunset period. According to a letter from the producer leaked to X (formerly Twitter), the remaining six main story segments and all final gaiden content would not be playable in Global, but their cutscenes will be published in video format to help bring closure to the story.End of Service letter from Producer Fujiwara (Credit: @DissidiaDB on X) In line with this announcement, all sales of premium Gems were discontinued. All access to free Gems and Draw Tickets outside of principal quest objectives was also removed. In their place, the universal exchange systems were overhauled to allow all players access to previously premium content, albeit limited to items available per region as of the date indicated. Service concluded as scheduled on February 29, 2024.
