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.

Cait-Sith confirmed for Dissidia, pleaseeeeee
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39552.html
its a little long but worth it. They gave him a razor blade-ish smile.
I'm surprised there isn't a bunch of hate for Cecil, I thought people always preferred Kain.
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
Who is Cecil?
Wake me up if Rydia shows up.
Still, Garland like a mofo
But he's just a six foot tall rabbit!
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.
Is there anything else to say?
