Luke Groundwalker, thank you for this! I've been a dedicated follower of Dissidia myself, and it's great to see a thread that's actually up to date [especially with that Onion Knight video].

I am personally waiting for news on Cecil and Terra from IV and VI respectively. An Esper form and Paladin transformation would be stunning, perhaps with some holy magic to boot. I'm loving the redesigns thus far, so it'll be great to see what Nomura comes up with here.

What's also interesting is that Nomura isn't denying characters from XI at this point. I understand that XI isn't so popular but some of the designs such as the Shadow Lord would make an excellent side boss. It's a pity that Final Fantasy XII's artist didn't want to hand over his characters either =/ I would have loved to have fought as Lady Ashe and Vayne Solidor. Occuria Venat would be an especially awesome touch, perhaps with an EX-Burst like The Undying.

Overall, I'm certainly hyped for this game! Bring on the other characters!

Lol, Luke, I was just watcing the trailer AGAIN when I saw this thread!

The game had me sold with Zidane and Kuja, then Onion Knight sealed the deal.

I'm still expecting Cecil to be in his Paladin form as his default, his Dark Knight form would end up looking like Garland or Golbez! Besides, Paladin Cecil is more iconic, I think.

And Luke pretty much swayed me to Terra for VI. I was orginaly betting on Celes, though.


I would have loved to have fought as Lady Ashe and Vayne Solidor.
I'd prefer to play as Vaan, just because the games lacking a true blue Theif character (Unless Locke is the VI Rep, whicth I doubt).

I place my remaining bets on Cloud and Bartz, who are pretty much the givens for V and VII.

And Luke might say it later, but I'd like to see Lightning from XIII in it as a bonus charater!
 
This game had me sold when the second trailer was released, when I realized that I could beat up my most disliked Final Fantasy characters with my favorites. Or just beating up Sephiroth in general with suffice as a great game concept for me.

Oh and yeah if there is FF12 rep I do hope to see Vaan and Vayne for consistency's sake. Ashe would be a good substitute but Vaan is basically the main character of FF12 even though he's the dullest character in the game. Vayne would be really cool to see though, he has some of the coolest special attacks ever.

The real question is, if FF11 is being represented, who would rep that?

I'm glad someone else made this thread. I've wanted to for a while but I felt too nerdy. I don't own a PSP and this game doesn't look good enough to buy one for, but I'm going to make my step-brother get it so I can play as Squall.

I place my remaining bets on Cloud and Bartz, who are pretty much the givens for V and VII.
The thought of Bartz being in the game makes me feel a little sexy. As for Cloud, I thought they were including Aerith instead.

By the way, anyone else think there might be elements of Ehrgeiz, Square's other fighting game with Final Fantasy characters?

Hmm, I always thought Zidane was a bit of a thief myself, but I see what you mean =). I just find that Ashe was the character who held the most significance, being it her duty as Princess to fight against the Empire. I always saw her as the main character. Then again, I guess it's just the part of me wanting more female positions in the character roster! All we have are Cloud of Darkness and Ultimecia. Terra is a must have, but Ashe would have balanced out the sides a bit more.

For a representative of XI, I think they should just have all the races with their most popular class and allow them to make several cameos. For example, a Taru Taru Summoner. I'm not quite sure how that would be incorporated though =/.

I'm such a Square Enix suckup haha. I bought a PSP just for Crisis Core, Dissidia and Birth By Sleep. Then again, I did pick up the Crisis Core bundle, and I now have a very lovely silver Nomura emblazoned console =D. Also, Final Fantasy Agito XIII sounds most promising, and I'm quite interested in seeing how The 3rd Birthday turns out. A worthy purchase if you consider it in the long run, but of course, it's not exactly cheap =/.

Oh, right! I keep forgetting Zidane's a theif because, after a certian point in the game, I just thought of him as a noble rouge.


I so need to make it further in XII, just so I can meet Ashe out side of her Alias, right now I'd like to see Vaan though.

And realy, do we need any more female repersentation outside of the /pure sex/ offered to us by Cloud of Darkness, Ultimecia and Kuja*?

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's new designs because I like seeing Nomura's art on these, scince they stay so close to Amano's look.

O_O Well all of those are villains, and second.. poor Kuja haha XD. Kuja's male! Either you were joking [everybody calls him female anyway =P] or another person has fallen victim to his feminine looks!

Nonetheless, I do love Nomura's style, and even if there are no FFXI/XII characters represented, I adore the designs we have now. All these EX-Bursts rule too! Trance forms, transformations, summons, class changes, etc. Gotta love it =).

I was sold on this game till I saw the gameplay trailer.

A Full 3d fighter has Never worked, and I honestly don't expect Squeenix to do any better =P Eirgheiz anyone? >.>

Not to mention that the only exceptional games theyve came out with since the merger are KH 1&2, And TWEWY, Besides that, most of the games have been total crap (Not counting remakes)

And not trying to flame war but...

Nonetheless, I do love Nomura's style,

Did you seriously just say that? Nomura is a Horrible character designer. He reuses old faces/styles to a fault. All his main characters he personally designed always look the same (or really similiar). Not to mention his bizarre obsession with zippers/belts and effeminate looking males -_-

Hey, I love his style with the villains for Dissidia. I'm free to have an opinion =). Plus I adore KH, and his large art spreads have been most appealing.

Anyway I am looking forward to this. The gameplay sounds fun, and Terra vs Cecil? Count me in.

Actually, Anything Pre-7 is *supposed* to be based on Amano's artwork, and it atleast seems like it is from what I've seen (Cloud of Darkness for example.) Bit of a mix of the two styles, which I agree does look pretty good.

And Nomura is a great conceptual/story designer as is evident from KH and TWEWY, I just don't like that when it comes to his art, he's the akira toriyama of video games =P

I'm not sold on the gameplay for the sole reason of it being full range 3d, if it was a more traditional Tekken or Soul Caliber style, I wouldn't be as worried.
 

Nintandy

The Lost Mareep
I agree with you there, Nomura does recycle a lot of his own material, and everything does have to be covered in belts and zips XD. I just like how he's stuck to Amano's designs, but added a more graphical touch.

As for gameplay, I understand, but it seems from the bravery system, the variety of moves, and the ability to attack from such long ranges, there's much to do. I don't think there's a need to worry. The combat works like it does in KH from what I've seen and read, but with a lot more variety. I'm happier with being able to move around, personally.

My apologies for double posting, but since this hasn't been put up already:

New Gameplay Video: Tidus vs Jecht

I find this a lot more promising than the onion knight video. Such a huge arena! I can't wait to play with my favourite characters =).

-- Andy ;449;
 
Luke and I were talking about that video. Apperantly, all the battle grounds are areas that the Final Battles took place in, which makes scence, when you think about it. Cloud of darkness and Onion Knight fought in the Dark World, and now Tidus and Jecht in Zanarkad.
/Hopefuly/, we won't get "Crappy swirrling vortex of colors" to fight Sephiroth in. Shinra HQ would be alot cooler.

Oh, and I ment Kuja's just /hot/ I didn't mean to imply he was a woman.
