Bartz is a Unique type fighter and is the first character to really change his playstyle. Bartz has different attacks that cover a whole range of moves like punching, swords, magic, spears and so forth. Every time he attacks with a certain move his damage and speed increase until he masters it. So Bartz is a bit of a slow burner who becomes more deadly as the fight drags on. If he masters all of his different move sets he gains the three stars overhead (sign of a Mastered job in V) and gets a tone of buffs that make him a force to be reckoned with.
EX Skill: Good Luck Charm - Any Buffs Bartz has obtained are shared with the whole party making him an excellent team player and most likely a high priority target in battles.

Terra is a Shooter specialist with a new playstyle as well. Terra's magic can be charged which affects their power, range and property. If she fires her spells with little charge time, they are weak but incredible fast with good combos, if she charges them they can be powerful attacks that will rip through the battle field and hit multiple opponents. Her style is about balancing quick attacks with charged powerful attacks.
EX Skill: Trance - Terra transforms into her Esper form and gains large boosts to her stats making her more dangerous.

Strange hearing Dancing Mad to her. I don't mind it, but it's still strange as I associate that with Kefka. Only thing that would've made it perfect would've been adding Terra Theme somewhere in there.
I don't feel like I need to really introduce this one.
Cloud plays like a melee version of Terra where he can charge his attacks to increase their damage and give them special properties like Guard Break. He's a heavy type fighter with good range and a great choice for frontline fighters.
EX-Skill: Limit Break - The description is vague but it looks like it augments his abilities, possible making all his attacks their fully charges variation.

Love him or hate him, Square's most infamous moody hero is here.
Squall actually plays a bit like Kain from the original, his power increases by timing his attacks together and making long strings of combos which seeing how Squall is still a speed type character means this will be easy.
EX-Skill: Draw and Junction - Squall draws energy from his opponents which boost his moves giving them similar effects to his Lionheart EX mode from the original.

Four more videos released giving a teaser for Zidane and Shanttato but more importantly, we get our first view of how the summons will work. Specifically Leviathan, Shiva, Ramuh, and Odin.
Can I hear a Whoot-Whoot from all the forums IX fans?
Zidane is still a speed character with good aerial ability. He now has a new ability called Steal which does no damage but steals enemy stats which Zidnae uses to boost his own.
EX-Skill: Trance - Zidnae transforms into his Trance mode and gets some nice boosts to his stats, in addition, Steal becomes Mug and now does damage in addition to stealing enemy stats.

Tidus is a Speed type who is built around cancelling moves to execute new moves, making him highly unpredictable and a great pressure character.
EX Skill: Quick Trick - Increases his Dash Gauge and recovers it quickly when not in use allowing him to cancel out of moves even better and keep better pressure on opponents.
If ye be a little thick in the head, then allow her to make you quite dead.
Everyone's favorite sociopathic Black Mage, Shantotto has arrived.
Shantotto is a shooter type player who loves to cast powerful forbidden magics. She has the ability to sacrifice her own HP to multi-cast stronger versions of her spells as well making her quite formidable at the cost of being one wrong move from a knock out.
EX- Skill: Colossal Shantotto - Makes her much larger increasing her range and blast radius for her spells.

The Air Pirate in training, Street Rat of Rabanastre.
Vaan is here in his abiliscious glory.
Vaan has a completely new move set and is a Unique Type character much like Bartz. Vaan has an extra HP attack compared to other characters and his battle style (modeled after the Quickening system) involves generating long combos in order to power up his HP attacks. The longer his combos go, the more likely he'll activate a Concurrence to multiply the damage of the attack.
EX-Skill: Dread Note - It works similar to Shantotto's Mana Font EX-Skill from the original. As long as Vaan is dong combos or at least the player is button mashing, Vaan's Brave score never decreases even after using an HP attack making his moves more powerful.
