The upcoming Square Enix Final Fantasy fighting title Dissidia: Final Fantasy could have become the next Ergheiz, but Wired's Game|Life says it isn't. Thank Odin! Their hands-on with the PlayStation Portable title at Jump Festa 2008 gives us some new details on the title as well as a list of characters.
Confirmed characters:
- The Warrior of Light, Garland (FFI)
- Firion, Emperor Palamecia (FFII)
- Sephiroth (FFVII)
- Squall, Ultimecia (FFVIII)
- Zidane, Kuja (FFIX)
- Tidus (FFX)
Between this character list and Game|Life's impressions, my interest in this title has increased greatly. I've always wanted to kick Tidus' ass.
Siliconera links us to rumored artwork which suggests the addition of characters like Exdeath, Jecht, The Cloud of Darkness, and even Final Fantasy VI's Kefka. Who wouldn't want to play as Kefka? I hope he laughs in his SNES voice when he wins a bout.
Japanese PSP owners and importers will finally get their hands on Dissidia: Final Fantasy in early 2008.

Whats this I hear about Ehrgeiz?
I'm also KIND OF PROUD that Cloud isn't mentioned...AT ALL. It's kinda cool that they're not relying on their MAIN MAIN MAIN fanboy character to promote this game (even though Sephiroth kinda fills that spot)
I'm hoping for Sora, or even Marche.
In other news, if Sabin Figaro is not put in a FF fighter, I am going to be really pissed. I'm sure that Square-Enix would like to avoid that situation at all costs. If they really have to pick just two heroes from FF6 for this game, they can't do better than Sabin and Cyan, or maybe Gau. Both Sabin and Cyan already have a large pool of personalized moves available, and c'mon, Sabin's a grappler, for fuck's sake.
And yes to Kefka, since he is the most successful video game villain I have ever known. And the laugh.
FAIL, DO NOT WANT.
(Yes I realize it's still an early list, but until I get confirmation, I'm defaulting to fail for this one.)
NO WAI
jesus SE have you forgotten your roots.. Garland was the best old school you can do? PATHETIC
fuck a rumored KEFKA i want a CONFIRMED KEFKA
I want a COMFIRMED RYDIA and CONFIRMED TERRA IN MAGITECH ARMOR
i don't see any reason to buy this game yet...I don't. though it does look good on paper

and yeah...asking for Rydia is stretching it. she could lay waste to that entire roster. It wouldn't be fair.
And whoever said they were going obscure is wrong. Sephiroth? Zidane? Tidus? and Squall??? bleh
Please put Kefka, Terra and/or Celes, Rydia, Onion Knight, Vivi, at least one character from FF5, and Cloud. I only want Cloud in the game so I can beat the shit out of him over and over and over.
Hugs and Kisses ^_^

I really want to see all four of the main classes in FF I come in (Fighter, Black Mage, e.g), t'would be quite the FF-ellatio (C wut I did thar?)
Also, concurrence on the "needs moar Balthier".
ITS SO OBVIOUS
I'll play it... I do hope that there's some Spoony Bard action. And Palom and Porum.
I was just having an incredibly nerdy conversation with my boyfriend and his roommate yesterday about how there's no pre-final fantasy VII in Kingdom Hearts. And how Kingdom Hearts is terrible.
Also the reason for that is because Nomura doesn't want characters he didn't design in KH. He was really reluctant to put Setzer and Vivi in KH2.
To switch gears I have to agree with everyone that this list seems somewhat weak. Ultimecia? I'd rather have Seifer or even Edea. I also don't get why they just don't go ahead and put Cloud on the list. We all KNOW he's going to be there!
Also Kefka BETTER be in this game. It just wouldn't feel right to not put Sephiroth in his place if I'm not using Kefka to do it...
Yes, I agree. More Balthier. Vote for Balthier.
Hang on, vote for Fran too!!!
THEY BETTER PUT KEFKA ON THERE!!!!! Kefka is the SHIZ!! And his laugh!! And Celes, Terra, Edgar, and Sabin. Lol. Sephiroth is "OK", but Kefka beats Sephy by a landslide! And plus, who doesn't wanna kick Sephiroth's ass with Kefka? God know Kefka deserves more attention!
