I remember seeing Sephiroth in the very first trailer for Dissidia, about a year and a half before the Japanese release, but then I never saw Cloud (Strife) in the game until the final month before the release; he was among the last few characters confirmed for the cast. Why was that?
Probably to create drama I would gather. Sephiroth was only confirmed first cause he appeared first in the trailers with Squall, Zidane, and Kuja. Most people guessed it was going to be Cloud anyway so I don't really feel announcing him last was a big deal.
Maybe they wanted to secrete the outfit he was wearing? lol. Secrete.
>>> Thats right, I guess it created some drama..:luca:Quote:

I don't care that Sephiroth's got new accessories. The difference is minuscule and is identical to the level of difference between Genesis and his Gackt representation. By the way, I know a lot of people don't care for Genesis as a character (the same for the Tsviets and the "original" AVALANCHE), but I'd still like to see him in the very unlikely next game.
Have I mentioned my idea to have a Final Fantasy Battlefront? (ripping the system directly off of Star Wars Battlefront 2 with the ability to play as factions like AVALANCHE versus Shin-Ra and play as heroes like Cloud or villains like... Genesis). This unholy union would be greatly praised... by myself. Some hacker could smelt this easily, yeah?
I don't even see how this matters
It was to create drama and hype for the release.
That's about you, but what about Cloud? Why wasn't your enemy confirmed until the last minute?Quote:

^ This. I don't think amongst me and my friends, that there was ever even a question about whether or not both Cloud and Sephiroth would be in it. Especially in the case of Americans, these two attract fans.Quote:

There is no reason.Quote:

There is no necessity in showing the obvious. So even Sephiroth's early appearance was not necessary.Quote:

True, but I still think that if you were featured in the very first trailer, Cloud should have been too.
It's simply Nomura loves to watch his fans scratch their head at what he's really thinking. Almost as much as he loves belts.
He's so vain; he probably thinks we're thinking about him...
