Dissidia: Final Fantasy - fighting game?

[ShadowLaguna]

I guess I'll purchase Dissidia. I've wondered how a Final Fantasy fighting game would turn out.

[calintz]

not sure if they have been already announced, but here are 2 new characters:

The latest issue of Shonen Jump shows Final Fantasy IV hero Cecil Harvey in its latest update on PSP title Dissidia Final Fantasy. He's standing across from FFIV bad guy Golbez. The game launches this December with three more characters to still yet be revealed.

Three more characters left eh? If Cloud isn't one of those, I won't be buying this game :P

[calintz]

wow, i just realised how much Golbez looks Kingdom Hearts-ish in that pic...

don't like...

[Hidoshi]

That's because Tetsuya Nomura is a terrible artist. :P

[calintz]

yeah, i was hinting to that :p

Where the hell are the FFVI characters? Sure Kefka is nice, but they need a good guy. Throw Sabin or Celes in there already! >_<

I'm assuming it'll be Terra, despite the lack of a real main character for FFVI. Besides, I'm assuming they'll introduce one female good guy character, to keep that side from becoming a sausage fest.

None of them look manly enough to make it a sausage fest anyway! And yes, Terra's in there as that link will show.

Terra rules.  This is the best Square game since Final Fantasy VI.

Well, the game has been out in Japan for three days now, and has gotten tons of praise from importers and Japanese fan. Great thing about the game apparently is has quite alot depth while still being flashy thanks to the "Brave System".

FFXI's Shantotto and XII's Gabrath are confirmed as secret characters. There some onfo Shantotto, but not on Gabranth. He was introduced on Gaming show special in Japan however.

Shantotto=Cosmos side character.
Gabranth=Chaos side character.

The Dissidia feature RPGlike mechniacs, like a Leveling System that increases you characters stats, gaining new Attacks, and Support abilities like Air Dash. Stuff like Items, Weapons, Armor Summons etc have a part quite good role on how Characters do in a fight. Ad-hoc for PvP support is confirmed.

Good stuff.

[AJR]

Can't say I'm interested in this at all. I mean, the visuals look nice, but that's about it. I guess my PSP will continue to collect dust.

[Blace]

I think this game looks sweet. Can't wait for it.

[ShadowLaguna]

Looking good. I'm sure to get this. I hope the controls are decent.

[Jet16]

I'll be getting this but I won't get high hopes for it.
