Characters that should be in Dissidia

[Masamunemaster]

haha XI could deffinatly be absolute virtue...or pandy warden...imagine how much fun those would be

[NeoCracker]

Again it will only be Main Heros and Main Villains. So stop thinking they'll put supportng characters in it.

You made this topic and named it characters that SHOULD be in it, not characters that ARE going to be in it, so thats exactly what we're doing.

Besides, we already know all the characters that are going to be in it.

Anyway, Sabin would totally be awesome. All those fun Blitz moves, and then you could make his EX Burst or whatever Tiger Break. ^_^

[Masamunemaster]

yea but his cannon would be soooo slow...

[The Crystal]

Whoever said that FFXI have no main villain, doesn't know what he/she is talking about.
FFXI have many expansions/parts, each one with a main villain.

From the top of my head:
FFXI - Ring of Fire: Shadow Lord
FFXI - Rise of the Zilarth: Eald'narche
FFXI - Chains of Promathia: Promathia

And there still is two expansions(ToAU and WotG), with two different main villains.

>>> Silly square, they forgot to put Vaan.

[KHHacker6595]

Vaan in my opinion wasnt much of a hero, he reminded me of aladdin. if they make a dissidia 2 it will either be Vaan or Basch to play the hero. Id rather have Basch because his brother is Gabranth. It would work better.

I'd really love to see Dagger, Vivi, and Quina in this game.

This has not been confirmed at all. A sequel may well contain supporting characters, as Nomura even stated that in an interview for the Ultimania that "Kain is definitely in".

Auron.

[Wolf Kanno]

Its true that Nomura mentioned in an interview that Kain was a hidden character for Dissidia until the very last minute when he got cut. He was really wanting him to be in the game cause Kain's his favorite FF character that he didn't create. I would bet damn good money we will see way more support characters in a Dissidia 2.

[Skyblade]

What I said was a direct quote from his Ultimania interview. Taken a little out of context, perhaps, but still...

Nomura: If we stick exactly to final bosses, we’d get characters such as FFX’s Yu Yevon. Characters who it would be difficult to give much personality to, or whose design doesn’t fit in with a fighting game. So I thought that it would be better to take characters with a rivalry, or with strong connections. Also, I personally really wanted to have Kain in the game. Originally we planned to have about 5 hidden characters, and even as that number started to shrink, Kain remained a candidate right to the end. When it was finally decided to cut him I said, “for FFIV’s Chaos character wouldn’t Kain and not Golbez be fine?” But we had to think of the balance with the other titles, and he was cut.

And from later in the interview...

Nomura: Well, if we did a sequel I think Kain is definitely in (laughs). I’ve got a lot of interesting ideas, but as far as the situation goes actually going ahead with the project would be tricky… If there were enough demand for a Dissidia II, the situation might change, so I think I’d like to rethink it at that time.

So, yeah. Maybe the first one was all main characters, but I highly doubt a sequel would be. For one thing, there are tons of supporting characters who have massive fanbases to capitalize on. For another, how else would you justify a sequel? I mean, you would be adding, what, four new characters? Six at a maximum (and that would be if they wanted to release character info of FFXIV, which is unlikely). Sorry, but no. To do a sequel, they would have to add in more characters, and that pretty much guarantees delving into the support characters. Ideally, we'd be looking at one support hero/villain per game, which would give us...

-Red Mage / Astos or Bikke
-Minwu ('cause he rocks, even though it would probably go to Maria) / Um, yeah, can't think of any real good option here.
-Summoner (or any other job change, I picked this one because it should have fairly unique gameplay) / Xande
-Rosa (sorry, Tellah, but she'd be the obvious one, due to relationship with Kain) / Kain
-Faris (don't want too many healer/cleric sidekicks, which is why no Lenna) / Gilgamesh (win)
-Locke or Setzer, would be my guess (thief or chance based gameplay) / Gesthal
-Tifa (fun combo-based brawler) / Rufus (perhaps you only fight him once, but he is the other recurring villain here, especially since there's no way you could separate Reno and Rude)
-Rinoa / Seifer
-Garnet (summoner gameplay again) / Haven't played enough to choose a good secondary villain. I know, shame on me.
-Auron / Seymour (hate his guts, but, again, limited options)
-Pick a few, I'm probably never going to play this
-Balthier and Fran (no hero from XII in Dissidia, so two for the sequel) / Vayne
-Lightning / Villain


Although I suppose we could cheat a little...

Ramza / Delita (I always think of that psycho as the villain, but you can pick another)
Marche / Llednar (or Remedi, if she was done well enough)
Luso / Illua
Sora / Ansem
Chrono / Magus

[Masamunemaster]

hmmm FF9 could be that garland?? or find some kind of lame battle set for brahne lol

[Skyblade]

Ah, Garland would work. Forgot about him and really didn't want to do Brahne.

Oh, duh. Beatrix. Problem solved.

[NeoCracker]

I think Edger/Ghestal or Celes/Ghestal makes more sense then Locke or Setzer as far as rivals go, and Frog/Magus more so then Crono and Magus.

Though I'd like to see Magus/Ozzie, Magus for the good guys.

[Skyblade]

Yeah, you're probably right, I'm just curious as to how they'd be implemented in gameplay. Setzer especially. The gambler spirit would be interesting to see in-game.

Magus would definitely be a warrior of Chaos in the beginning, even if he doesn't stay that way (like Jecht is now).

I didn't choose Frog because of the focus of main heroes/enemies. If we add a new game, that's probably who we would get. Otherwise I would so put Ritz from FFTA in there because she's also one of my favorites.

[NeoCracker]

I'd imagine Setzer would be ranged for the most part. For a straight line attack, he'd toss his cards in a fast line, doing minor damage, but the attack itself would hit hard.

Then theres darts, which would be a bit slower, but either do more damage or inflict some sort of impedement on the enemy for a brief period.

When throwing a dice, the damage will vary, however the dice will, essentially, explode to cover an area, and also be his slowes.

Finally, he could have a short range spray like attack with his coins.

For short range he could have some form of knife.



Not sure how the EX would work.

Also, I'd be fore doing random guys without any specific pairings in mind. For example, toss in Setzer and Black Waltz #3 or something.

You know, they NEED to add Black Waltz #3, while he was short lived, he ranks near the top FF Villians to me. ^_^
