Final Fantasy IV's Cecil confirmed for Dissidia photo

Development for the upcoming Dissidia: Final Fantasy seems to be moving right along. The game is due for a December release date (no word on a North American release) and is more than halfway finished. And if I'm not already guilty enough of stoking the fires of the Square Enix hype train, I'm glad to reveal that Final Fantasy IV's Cecil has been confirmed for Dissidia.

According to some scans from next week's issue of Shonen Jump, Cecil Harvey will be joining the already illustrious Dissidia cast. Given Golbez' inclusion and the hero/villain setup, I'm not particularly surprised. It is interesting, however, that we'll be able to play as Cecil as either a paladin or dark knight.

All of Dissidia's characters are taken from the heroes and villains of past Final Fantasy games and thrown into a fighting/action game. For anyone keeping count at home, we still need heroic counterparts to V's Exdeath, VI's Kefka, and VII's Sephiroth to round out the Dissidia cast. My guesses are Bartz, Terra, and (sigh) Cloud, respectively.

Any guesses on the remaining characters? If any of you bring back that stupid "confirmed for Brawl" un-meme, I will hunt you down and slaughter you like cattle.

Just keep that in mind.

this game won't be worth the asking price, but it will make a fine downloadable iso.

Why do they keep adding swordsmen? I'm starting to question how different all the heroes are going to be since nigh all of them use swords. Here's to hoping for vincent instead of cloud!

F Whipple, considering that Vincent's fangirl base is almost the same (if not larger) than Cloud's, there's a good chance he might be a bonus character or something.

I would rather see a specific fighting game for FF4/6 characters or something, but I guess I'll take what I can get. I can't wait to use Cecil or Kefka to lay the fucking smack down on Cloud and Tidus.

no love for the Locke? He's a stud. And I'm gonna laugh when I see Cloud because he's awesome and no one likes him hahahahahaha! It would be nice to see Shadow though, he's a badass Darth Maul style. I'm guessing it's a no on Vincent though, he's not really a melee fighter all he does is go pew pew. Don't get me wrong he was one of my favorite characters, but he doesn't fit in a fighting game so well.

I'm surprised there isn't a bunch of hate for Cecil, I thought people always preferred Kain.

@F Whipple
Well that's simple... they start with the main heroes and villians of the games which are mostly swordsman. You really need to wait until they get those out of the way before we start seeing other favorites... if i had to guess, i'd say we'd probably see a few like Tifa, Sabin, and Kain

Terra makes the most sense for Kefka, and for X-Death, any will do, but Bartz or Gulf would be best. Also, GILGAMESH!!!!!!!!

I'm feeling the same way about this lack of variety. It seems like they're putting in the protagonist and antagonist of each game. Kind of lame... not that I won't still get this game.

Wake me up if Rydia shows up.

I'd like to see less characters from shitty Final Fantasys (AKA post-7), and more of the older characters getting the next-gen treatment. I would definitely trade a fresh kidney to see Celes or Kain make it here.

Still, Garland like a mofo

I know one thing that's confirmed for brawl, SASUAGES!

But seriously, If I don't see images of Locke/Terra in the next few weeks I'm going to fly down to japan and create a black hole with my fist to someone.
