Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy (PSP) announced

[Mercen-X]

I think the world's gonna bow before Monty Oum. Square Enix and Tecmo will likely grant license to produce full-blown Dead Fantasy films because, let's face it, there's appeal in crossing universes. Obviously, no one really wants to see a Final Fantasy fighting game or even Final Fantasy characters featured in Tekken, Dead or Alive, or Street Fighter. Maybe Smash Bros.

But I don't know of anyone who hates the Monty Oum series. Personally, I'm waiting to Killer Fantasy. It doesn't exist because I made it up, but I'm still waiting for it. For anyone not in the know, I'm deriving Killer from "Killer 7" and I think MO should do a clip of Final Fantasy gunners going to toe-to-toe (and teaming up) with the Killer 7 and the other assassins.

Personally, I think SE would make a great crossover with either Capcom or Arc System Works.

Going back on topic...

Here's a magazine article showing screenshots of Vaan in-game as well as a look at Terra's alternate outfit.

[qwertysaur]

Looks like Terra will be fighting for Chaos via slave crown, and after fighting Vaan she comes to her senses

[Mercen-X]

Well, at least Vaan's alt doesn't look like JUST a palette swap... I can't tell what Terra's wearing. If it's related to Final Fantasy VI, I wouldn't know, cause I never played past the Magitek suits.

[Wolf Kanno]

After looking at he outfit for a bit. She's wearing Kefka's armlets. So I'm guessing its a female version of one of Kefka's outfits.

Since this is a prequel to the original, we already know how Sephiroth's story is going to end. I hope they expand the villains more since they are getting their own story mode now.

Editga: Famitsu posted pictures of Vaan, Gabranth, Terra, and Kefka's new outfits.

Vaan is wearing his Amano outfit
Gabranth is wearing Captain Basch's uniform
Terra is in a White an Blue variation of her outfit with allusions to Kefka's clothing.
Kefka is in his third Amano outfit

Impostor Basch Gabranth? Awesome!

[espritduo]

Terra's alternate is an Amano piece that was made for the original FFVI and never used, as is Kefka's alternate. You can see the full artwork here:

And a couple other blue Terra's:

I'm so glad they didn't choose that... peacock?

The only bits that have changed on Vaan's outfit to make it "wild" are the gloves, the sword, the accessories on his vest, and the color of his waist cloth. I still think they should have just given him Reks's outfit.

Sweet, I've never seen these drawings of her before. Are they in any of Amano's works or just a rare book by Square?

For those wondering... This is the look Kefka is based off of.

And this is a link to the picture of Vaan's outfit that its based on.

EDITGA:

The english site has updated as well. Though I'm sure most people will ignore it, since its lagging behind on content and info from the Japanese site.

[espritduo]

They can be found in an artbook called The Sky, made by Square around 2001. It is extremely rare and extremely expensive, but you can find it on eBay if you are willing to pay around $400-$600 for it. It contains every single last piece of art Amano did for FFI-FFX, which is almost everything he's every done, since he hasn't done more than one or two pieces for each FF since then. I got it while it was still in print, and it was well worth the price. There's over a thousand images across three large books, with many of them never being published before or since.

[Evastio]

Out of curiousity, has anyone checked the English Official Dissidia Duodecim Site? Because the character screen layout is implying that Lightning, Kain, Tifa, and Vaan are the only newcomers based on the empty character cards and the FF numbers. You can even check it out yourself to see what I mean.

[Wolf Kanno]

Well, SE said the new cast could be anywhere from 4 to 10 characters, they never did specify. Still, the list is off, cause Vaan has already been confirmed in Japan, yet the U.S. site only has one slot for XII; so I feel its safe to say that most of the numbered slots are simply the returning cast, and the site hasn't accommodated the new characters, in order to keep them a surprise.

Though, I do find it interesting that there is a mystery slot behind Lightning. Perhaps FFXIV's token character or maybe a hint of a non-numbered FF character?

[Jessweeee♪]

I'm still hoping for Sazh, though they made it sound like they had to choose between him and Lightning

[Wolf Kanno]

Well it does look like SE is going to support DLC for the game; so perhaps he may become a DLC character down the road.
