In the arcade version of Dissidia Final Fantasy, right after entering the multiplayer mode, a screen allows players to choose the summon they prefer, and then the summon with more votes is the chosen.

Like the previous Dissidia Final Fantasy games, each player can summon once in battle; however, the summon mechanics are different this time, because the player is invoking the actual summon into the battlefield rather than an artwork. This summon will act like a party member during a few seconds, and will support the party with "summon effect". Each of the summons attacks depletes the bravery gauge to zero, so it's easy to afflict the Break status to the enemy team.

To invoke a summon, each party must fill the summon gauge by attacking the enemies (which fills the gauge slowly) or by destroying one Summon Core (which fills half of the gauge) and then at least one party member has to charge the gauge manually. This process lasts 8 seconds if only one player is doing it, 4 seconds if two party members are doing it, or is automatic if all the party members charge the gauge at the same time.
