Characters that should be in Dissidia
Villain of FFXI[XI]
Vaan[XII]
Lightning[XIII]
Villain of FFXIII[XIII]
Am i right, there wont be other supporting cast in the sequel if its made. Dont hope for Setzer or Vincent in the game cause that takes the whole system of the game out of it. Its just main Heros and main Villains.

I think your numbers are off for some of them. Vaan is from XII and Lightning is from XIII. Also VI and VIII's villains are in the game so I'm assuming you mean final bosses from XI and XIII.Originally Posted by KHHacker6595
The Dissidia team decided not to put Lightning in the game cause they didn't want to give away elements from XIII and didn't want to let fans know what she was like before the game she stars in comes out.
XI and XII were thrown in as secret characters cause they wanted to have representations for these games as well but time restrictions prevented going all out. Besides, XI's nature makes it difficult to discern a true villain and hero... XII was too recent. Personally, since Gabranth was chosen for lead villain in XII I feel Basch is more fitting for hero.
As for side characters, a few villains make appearances as summons as I know Golbez's Four Elemental Fiends are summons. They did have a few planned, Kain for instance was planned as a secret character until the very end when they finally dropped him to make deadline. Nomura mentioned in an article how much he wanted Kain in the game.
Dissidia has done fairly well in Japan and may do very well in the US and PAL regions. There is a good chance it will get a sequel and we may get to see more characters.

damn i accidentely put V instead of X
maybe ur right about The Basch thing but i think the game should just stick to main heros and main villains. They dont need to add supporting casts, thats at least my opinion. Oh and if anyone finds a villain for XI tell me.
KHHacker, if your post is the last in a thread, don't make a new one. Use the edit/delete button to add to your last post if you have something new to add. Thank you!
If you think about it from a story perspective, Vaan isn't the lead character, its Lady Ashe. Vaan's story ends a few hours in pretty much when Lady Ashe joins the crew and you go on her quest for revenge and understanding. The staff itself has mentioned that XII has no lead character and unlike IX which boasted a similar ideal, Vaan never emerges as a main character like Zidane did.
Gabranth was probably chosen cause he's the iconic figure of XII that best represents the game. Besides, I can't see Vayne being good in a fighting game.

i still think that Basch now that you mentioned it is the real main character especially if your trying to have a match for Gabranth. As for XI, do you know any Villain they could use?
No, but then again Shantotto(sp?) really can double as both. She's pretty evil in her own way...Being an MMO sorta throws everything off for XI.

whoever the villain of XIII will be
All I know is that more female characters should have been in it. Seriously, Tifa would have been perfect for a fighting game. She was already in Ergheiz(sp?) with a bunch of other FFVII characters as well.
So, I think the following female characters should have been added:
Rydia
Celes (Perhaps too similar to Terra though?)
Tifa
Yuffie
Freya
Beatrix
Ashe/Fran (Either of these two really. Could be interesting to play as Fran, if only for the ranged weapon aspect.)
Considering there's only like 4(?) females in Dissidia, this isn't a great deal to ask, compared to there being 18(?) males.
You do know that Lightning was planned for Dissida, but removed because her inclusion would rush the development of her abilities,
I would add a few characters to Dissidia II.
Cosmos
FFI: Warrior of Light (Red Mage) Functions as a standard red mage. Average in all aspects, but versitile. Ex mode is Red Wizard
FFIII: Refia with the Scholar Job. Her fighting style is based on stong precise hits. Ex mode is class change to Warlock, giving her attacks a much wider range.
FFV: Faris. While Bartz is based on the mime job, Faris embodies the Freelancer, able to use several different fighting styles. Ex mode increases her stats. Ex burst is a tandem attack with Syldra.
FFVI: Setzer. Gambler as a fighter. FunEx burst is a fixed Slot machine.
FFVII: Tifa. She explains herself as well. Ex burst is Seventh Heaven
FFIX: Vivi. Little mage, big power. Double Black trance for Ex mode. Double Doomsday for Ex Burst
FFXII: Fran. Kinda like her RW abilities, inflicts status effects on her foes with her arrows. Ex burst is a quickening.
Secret! FFXIII: Lightning. She apparently has gravity manipulative abilities. That would be fun to use in a fight.
Secret! FFTA2: Adell: Standard job is lackluster thief. Ex mode is her Herator abilities. Her strengthis she is able to enter Ex mode more often than any other fighter.
Chaos
FFII: Leon/Black Knight. Melee with a touch of poision magic
FFIV: Zemus. He is a blank slate, and could be anything. Ex mode is Zeromus, ex burst is Big Bang.
FFVI: Shadow. Chaos hires him, and the sword for hire obliges. The ranged fighter of the Chaos team
FFVII: Hojo. The mad scientist uses his monster transformations.
FFVIII: Seifer. A mirror of Squall. Kinda boring but it fits the story very nicely.
FFIX: Beatrix. Bhrane follows Chaos as an NPC, and Beatrix is loyal to her queen, even though she questions why she fights.
FFX: Yunalesca. Medusa snakebite, go!
Secret! FFXII: Vayne: Hand to hand combat. Ex is the undying.
Secret! FFV/VIII/XII: Gilgamesh. If he needs explaining, you need to play FFV, or VIII, or XII.
They already said that the format of the game is main hero vs main villain. i dont think they will put supporting characters in it. sorry
Quina. Don Corneo. Tellah.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
YES.
Along with the "What's Mythril? Is it yummy?" kid from FFII, Palmer and his truck full of reinforcements, and the Commanders who lead the attack on Fabul in FFIV. It would make the game insanely amusing.
...on a more serious note though, I actually prefer the character cast the way it is (except maybe switch the Onion Knight with Luneth and Cloud of Darkness with Zande). Since it's all the main FF characters on the good guy side (except in FFXI's case since, well, you're fully customizing your character and it's hard to represent that in a fighting game) it helps prevent a lot of fanboyish character requests, which in turn prevents biasedness in the character choice as well as people's character requests being overshadowed by others. At least by having the main characters only, it's understandable that only they made it in, since it's only reasonable that the central character to that FF's story is represented. I've seen a lot of absolutely ridiculous and selfish requests for Dissidia which would probably kill the game for other people.
As for the villains, I think they made reasonable choices for which bad guy characters to use. Then again, the choices were kind of obvious.
all party members should be able to be unlocked, as well as importent bosses (equal amount of charecters of course)
Again it will only be Main Heros and Main Villains. So stop thinking they'll put supportng characters in it.
