They did a good job balancing the characters imo. Especially the NES characters. You'd think they would suck seeing as they don't have as much a defined role as the characters in later FF. I trust that SE can make him equal.Quote:

But Firion can only uses 1 at a time not 13 at a time
Also like is the first Dissidia they will prolly have heros teaming up, so i dont think they will adding anymore chars from 5
LOL, calm down. It'll be awesome, you don't necesarily need to have people from the same world fighting each other. Thats why they have characters from all the worlds. If you want FFV characters taking Exdeath down, then I suggest you play FFV.Quote:

Gilgamesh is hardly a real threat... he's more of a handicap for whichever side he's trapped on so no worries. Besides, its not like it's fair most of the villains have to face two heroes instead of one. Hell, XI and XIII still don't have Chaos counterparts.
Being the pessimist that I am, I have lost hoped that IX and VI will get new characters and that has really made this game have a bit of a sour taste for me. :(
Not to mention that I now have to deal with Yuna being in the game (guess who I'm going to kill over and over) and the prospect of Lightning stealing most of the spotlight in the plot, seeing how she's usually front and center in every new trailer and the game is treating her like the main character. :roll2 I get Kain, Laguna, and Gilgamesh but overall I haven't been impressed with the choices for new characters. Made worse by two of my top fave FFs being possibly passed over.
We still have a month left but SE hasn't even officially confirmed Gilgamesh and Prishe in publication not to mention most of the new characters were revealed alongside their numbered counterparts(II, V, and XI haven't been featured yet, whereas VI and IX have been featured recently). It's looking a bit glum for VI and IX fans.
I can only hope for a last minute reveal or a later DLC but from some of the staff interviews, it sounds like Dissidia Duodecim has reached the PSPs limits. The director commented that in order to add any more characters and content they would have to move to more powerful hardware. (PSP2/3DS or possibly console). So the possibility of cramming a new character in by DLC doesn't sound hopeful especially since the team has only mentioned Original Missions, and alternate costumes as DLC.
Even if it is true, at least FFVI and FFIX will get an extra stage to make up for it. I'm starting to think I was right about my "New Character or Stage, But Not Both" rule that Square is following for Dissidia Duodecim (with FFs past ten being exempted due to not having enough representation in the original Dissidia).
Also, do you guys think that Prishe and Gilgamesh will be the Shantotto and Gabranth of Duodecim? I mean, neither of them showed up in the group shots of the teams in the opening CG.
Um, it's GILGAMESH, Wolf. Anything his side loses in raw strength, it makes up for in awesomeness.Quote:

Too pessimistic. If it was just IX, I could believe it, though I would be saddened by it, but I cannot believe that they would leave a character out from VI, which still has one of the most beloved casts in the FF series. I think not having them be hackable from the demo would be more a case of baiting followers to try to guess which character from VI is going to make the cut right up until the end.Quote:

Um, yeah, and the original trailer all showcased Warrior of Light as the star of his game, and we all know how that turned out. You played him for two storyline chapters, then forgot him as much as possible.Quote:

It always looks glum for VI and IX fans. But look at hell well Terra came out in Dissidia. And, while Zidane may be...Zidane, at least the ratio of characters left in IX leaves them with a better chance of picking one of the many awesome ones.Quote:

Horsefeathers. A new character would only require more storage space, not more powerful hardwear, unless they were actually changing game mechanics.Quote:

Gilgamesh has a history of tripping over his own awesomeness :pQuote:

It's not for certain, but at this point I feel SE has cut it so close that the possibility these two titles might have been skipped altogether this round. Maybe they'll show up as Assist characters like Aerith, but it is looking like the lack of a fully playable character could be a possibility.Quote:

Until you see the ending and read all the Reports and learn this whole game is basically a convulated mess to explain Garland and Chaos from FFI. WoL also had the best scenes imo considering he's a nameless no one.Quote:

I'm sure Lightning won't be prominent but they also said thy would be making this game more story focus for the people who wined about a fighting game having a terrible plot (Dear lord people, have you never played the genre, this is normal) and seeing how we are going to see a bunch of new character get killed off from death by canon, I can see the writers trying to put her as the leader of this suicide brigade, seeing how that was pretty much the same scenario of XIII. Duodecim is going to play in some ways very differently so I wouldn't make this judgment cause of the way Dissidia 1 played out.
I'd say the FFI-III fans have it worse. I'm still annoyed about a lack of Leon or Maria tbh. I just don't like the prospect of having to wait a few more years to get some new characters I like from the games I like. I honestly don't care for Tifa, Yuna, Vaan, or Prishe, I outright hate two of them. I guess I should be happy I got half of Aerith...Quote:

Except when the hardware needed is storage space. As I said the director himself talked about Dissidia 2 maxing out what a UMD could hold. We are talking about a game that is completely new and has the first game as an unlockable extra. The whole first Dissidia 1 with a completely revamped story mode closer to Duodecim's. It is very possible that the game can't hold anymore content. We may still see DLC characters but they wouldn't really be attached to the story unless SE knew ahead of time this would happen.Quote:

As long as you are not changing the fundamentals of the gameplay, there should be no trouble introducing new playable characters via DLC. They would be saved to either the PSP Go's hard drive (ha, as though anyone actually got one of those), or the SD card in your PSP. True, they may have reached the limits of what you can cram on a UMD, but they could easily fit more on an SD card.
I strongly feel like Vaan could have been declined due to fans having little to no nostalgia for a blank protagonist. I am glad that Aerith made it as an assist character. I think that Square Enix will begin to add fan favorites to the game as assist characters in this iteration or in the next iteration of the game as they take much less work to create and develop than the fully fledged playable characters.Quote:

Yeah but it will be annoying having to lug that SD card everywhere if you want to use the extra characters. Especially since they are easier to lose than normal memory cards are. It's bad enough I have to switch between multiple cards as it is now. It works, nut its not really practical for a handheld but that is more of the PSPs personal issue than Dissidia.Quote:
