Square Enix just revealed the latest trailer for the new Dissidia Final Fantasy last night and it is great. The trailer opens with a sweeping view of glances of the cast with the first look and confirmation of Zidane, Tidus, Shantotto, and Vaan. The trailer proceeds with gameplay footage of each character that will be playable when the game launches in Japanese arcades next month.

Dissidia Final Fantasy looks to be shaping up nicely. What characters would you like to see in the game next?

Whoops, didn't see this thread. ^^;

[VeloZer0]

How does Vaan not have a last name? And god damn it SE for changing Terra to Tina. The hair was already bad enough. I don't care what the original plan was, you released the original game that way, live with it!

As for the game itself I will try to keep my enthusiasm down until it gets a console release date.

[Wolf Kanno]

Vaan never had a given last name, same as Tidus. Also it's the Japanese trailer so Terra is indeed Tina. :wcanoe:

[VeloZer0]

My bad, in that case Tina would be appropriate, my bad for not thinking of that.

That's super weird that protagonists from later games never got last names.

[Wolf Kanno]

In Tidus' case, I don't believe anyone has any last name except maybe Seymour. In XII's case, it's probably due to Vaan and Penelo being lower born orphans.

[Ayen]

13 doesn't come after 1, silly trailer.

I'd like to see Tifa, Aerith, Rinoa, Yuna, and Ashe in the game.

This reminds me I still have the first two Dissidia games I need to play more of.

[Wolf Kanno]

A new trailer was released today. Apparently they are going to release a trailer for each character in the game so we get to start of with the original Warrior of Light.

L4Bap-3w7fk

Playstyle: A very balanced fighter who is excellent at mid-to close range. His Shield of Light can nullify all Bravery attacks and he has the ability to temporarily boost his stats.

EX Skill: Holy Chain - Provokes enemy group and makes him their primary target.

[Wolf Kanno]

The lead Rebel with a penchant for roses is here.

Zx3taLwtYtQ

Ground and combo specialist. Firion has powerful attacks with excellent range like his original version. He can even switch up combos if they don't necessarily land since he seems to have a playstyle which involves mixing up his attacks.

Ex Skill: ??? From the video it looks like he still has access to Blood Weapon so I'm guessing it's the same.

[Ayen]

This game is going to have a whole lot of trailers.

[Wolf Kanno]

Third trailer out. Besaid Beach confirmed as new battle ground for FFX.

QSqj3Ebu7j4

Onion Knight largely plays like his EX Mode from the original, he has the ability to switch from Ninja (short range with good combos) to Sage (long range with strong attacks) at whim and he's considered one of the more versatile members of the game who can work in any party situation.

EX Skill: ???

[Depression Moon]

These new trailers actually made me less hype. Initially the game looked like it was going to be a bit less floaty than the last two games, but these definitely show it's going to be the same.

[Rin Heartilly]

I still want to play this on ps4 :/ It's not even out in arcades yet and I already want a port!

[Wolf Kanno]

It's Cecil Harvey's turn. Also looks like Narshe Snowfield is confirmed as VI's new arena.

TgB3S6GcLws

Cecil is considered a heavy type fighter who can manually switch from Dark Knight to Paladin. Dark Knight specializes in long range ground moves while Paladin is purely mid-air with good range. Unlike Onion Knight, Cecil gets a temporary boost every time he switches between his two forms, meaning his most damaging combos will involve chaining together his two very different move-sets.

EX Skill: ???

[Night Fury]

Y'shtola! <3

[Wolf Kanno]

Bartz Klauser is here today, fighting in Midgard.

-CR6FtrZvp8

Bartz is a Unique type fighter and is the first character to really change his playstyle. Bartz has different attacks that cover a whole range of moves like punching, swords, magic, spears and so forth. Every time he attacks with a certain move his damage and speed increase until he masters it. So Bartz is a bit of a slow burner who becomes more deadly as the fight drags on. If he masters all of his different move sets he gains the three stars overhead (sign of a Mastered job in V) and gets a tone of buffs that make him a force to be reckoned with.

EX Skill: Good Luck Charm - Any Buffs Bartz has obtained are shared with the whole party making him an excellent team player and most likely a high priority target in battles.

[Wolf Kanno]

Time for us to see Terra Branford in action.

V6fR77mqEXw

Terra is a Shooter specialist with a new playstyle as well. Terra's magic can be charged which affects their power, range and property. If she fires her spells with little charge time, they are weak but incredible fast with good combos, if she charges them they can be powerful attacks that will rip through the battle field and hit multiple opponents. Her style is about balancing quick attacks with charged powerful attacks.

EX Skill: Trance - Terra transforms into her Esper form and gains large boosts to her stats making her more dangerous.

[Ayen]

Strange hearing Dancing Mad to her. I don't mind it, but it's still strange as I associate that with Kefka. Only thing that would've made it perfect would've been adding Terra Theme somewhere in there.

[Wolf Kanno]

I don't feel like I need to really introduce this one.

FNbVim8AGZw

Cloud plays like a melee version of Terra where he can charge his attacks to increase their damage and give them special properties like Guard Break. He's a heavy type fighter with good range and a great choice for frontline fighters.

EX-Skill: Limit Break - The description is vague but it looks like it augments his abilities, possible making all his attacks their fully charges variation.

[Ayen]

Cloud beating up on VI and IX representatives. The internet is going to have a field day with that one.

[Wolf Kanno]

Love him or hate him, Square's most infamous moody hero is here.

N3z6ZvcB2Ao

Squall actually plays a bit like Kain from the original, his power increases by timing his attacks together and making long strings of combos which seeing how Squall is still a speed type character means this will be easy.

EX-Skill: Draw and Junction - Squall draws energy from his opponents which boost his moves giving them similar effects to his Lionheart EX mode from the original.

[Wolf Kanno]

Four more videos released giving a teaser for Zidane and Shanttato but more importantly, we get our first view of how the summons will work. Specifically Leviathan, Shiva, Ramuh, and Odin.

Leviathan

Shiva

Ramuh

Odin

[Ayen]

Squall teaching Lightning how to wield a gunblade, and I love the way Shiva looks!

[Wolf Kanno]

Can I hear a Whoot-Whoot from all the forums IX fans?

kqA80BMwj34

Zidane is still a speed character with good aerial ability. He now has a new ability called Steal which does no damage but steals enemy stats which Zidnae uses to boost his own.

EX-Skill: Trance - Zidnae transforms into his Trance mode and gets some nice boosts to his stats, in addition, Steal becomes Mug and now does damage in addition to stealing enemy stats.

[Fynn]

Zidane and Squall were my two mains in the original. Eeeee! :love:

[Ayen]

w00t! w00t!

[Wolf Kanno]

It's Tidus' turn in the spotlight.

VO76E4Qvi_8

Tidus is a Speed type who is built around cancelling moves to execute new moves, making him highly unpredictable and a great pressure character.

EX Skill: Quick Trick - Increases his Dash Gauge and recovers it quickly when not in use allowing him to cancel out of moves even better and keep better pressure on opponents.

[Wolf Kanno]

Everyone's favorite sociopathic Black Mage, Shantotto has arrived.

2oVAGsOpQKI

Shantotto is a shooter type player who loves to cast powerful forbidden magics. She has the ability to sacrifice her own HP to multi-cast stronger versions of her spells as well making her quite formidable at the cost of being one wrong move from a knock out.

EX- Skill: Colossal Shantotto - Makes her much larger increasing her range and blast radius for her spells.

[Wolf Kanno]

Vaan is here in his abiliscious glory.

WnxyvH2O_fk

Vaan has a completely new move set and is a Unique Type character much like Bartz. Vaan has an extra HP attack compared to other characters and his battle style (modeled after the Quickening system) involves generating long combos in order to power up his HP attacks. The longer his combos go, the more likely he'll activate a Concurrence to multiply the damage of the attack.

EX-Skill: Dread Note - It works similar to Shantotto's Mana Font EX-Skill from the original. As long as Vaan is dong combos or at least the player is button mashing, Vaan's Brave score never decreases even after using an HP attack making his moves more powerful.

[Wolf Kanno]

Squenix is giving you your monthly dose of Lightning.

LGanWbw4rno

[Fynn]

Jesus, Vaan sounds broken.

[Wolf Kanno]

Jesus, Vaan sounds broken.

His playstyle looks pretty simple in the video though. He doesn't have that unpredictable move-set of his original self so he may actually be easier to deal with. For me Bartz just sounds ridiculously awesome and he'll probably be in my team if it ever gets a console release.

[Fynn]

This better have a console release.

And local multiplayer.

And ONLINE multiplayer.

I will murder you so bad, Wolf.

[Rin Heartilly]

Squall ohh yeeeeah, him, Terra and Ultimecia were my mains. I really hope this gets a ps4 port and a Western release >.< Please make it happen FF gods!

[Ayen]

My team would probably be complied of Terra, Cloud, and Squall.

[Wolf Kanno]

Y'shtola should be tomorrow and then I'm curious to know if we'll see the villains or if they are even in the game at this point. I know Ramza has been confirmed, but he'll be an update character for later and won't be available with the initial release.

[maybee]

My team would probably be complied of Terra, Cloud, and Squall.

Would main Cecil, Zidane and Squall here !

[Fynn]

I'm really curious about Y'shtola and Ramza!

[Wolf Kanno]

T'shtola has arrived and we've now seen the all of the starters.

FqU5nS1OFn8

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm really curious about Y'shtola and Ramza!

Ask and you shall receive. While this is not an intro trailer like the others, SE has released a teaser video showcasing Ramza's character model.

8ELRWU1T700

Still waiting to get info on Lightning and Y'shtola's playstyles and more info on all EX-Skills. Ramza is apparently a support type character who can boost his party's abilities with skills like Shout and Yell.

[Wolf Kanno]

Guess who just got a real intro trailer?
