Rinoa Heartilly/Dissidia NT

Rinoa Heartilly is a playable character in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and its arcade version. She represents Final Fantasy VIII.

Appearance

 * Default
 * Timber Resistance I - Default coloration. Rinoa's default attire and her original in Final Fantasy VIII. She wears a light blue, sleeveless duster sweater with white angel wings on the back, and matching arm warmers. She wears a black tank top under the duster, cycling shorts with white zippers, laced boots, and a ribbon on her left arm. She wears a denim blue buttoned miniskirt over her black shorts, and her signature necklace with two rings.
 * Timber Resistance II - 1st alternate coloration. Recolors her sweater and the zipper on her shorts black, her arm warmers gray, and her tank top white. Her miniskirt is a tartan-patterned with red and black. Likely alludes to the school theme of Final Fantasy VIII even though Rinoa is not a Garden student.
 * Timber Resistance III - 2nd alternate coloration. Retains the black zippers, and recolors her miniskirt gray, and her sweater, arm warmers, and boots are colored white.


 * 1st Alternate Costume
 * Tight Party Dress I - Default coloration. Rinoa dons the dress she wears in her first in-game appearance and cutscenes during the SeeD inauguration ball in Final Fantasy VIII. She wears an off-white halter dress with her signature necklace, along with matching heeled dancing shoes, and a bracelet on her right wrist.
 * Tight Party Dress II - 1st alternate coloration. Both of her dress and heeled shoes are black.
 * Tight Party Dress III - 2nd alternate coloration. Her dress is a cream yellow and her heeled shoes are champagne with added luster.

Rinoa equips long-ranged projectiles named Blaster Edges:
 * Weapons
 * Pinwheel - Default weapon. Her original weapon from Final Fantasy VIII that is mounted and shot from her left wrist, and one of her Limit Breaks involve her pet Angelo being used as a projectile. During her EX Skill, she gains an alternate moveset involving sorceress magic, and her Blaster Edge disappears until after she uses an HP Attack or when the EX Skill ends. The Pinwheel now has more defined depth and detailed luster added to its model.
 * Valkyrie - 1st alternate weapon. As with the Pinwheel, the Valkyrie has a higher, more protruded depth to the large base, with its markings more clearly defined.
 * Rising Sun - 2nd alternate weapon. In addition to added depth and details, the large ring of the base is more circular as opposed to octagonal.
 * Cardinal - 3rd alternate weapon. As with her other blaster edges, the Cardinal gains added depth and additional detailing, more prominently on the main wing design, resembling the GF Diablos.

The Blaster Edges are featured in the Weapons Monthly magazines as customizable models, and can be used by Rinoa in Final Fantasy VIII.
