All of the rewards can be used by delving into "Customize" mode. In this mode, players can adjust skins and EX skills for their characters.
The open beta will be available for Japan. However, there are rumors that an international play test may be coming as well.
"Dissidia Final Fantasy NT" is the third title in the Final Fantasy-inspired fighting game. It is expected to be fully released in January of 2018.
