This game seems absolutely amazing. I can't wait for it. For those of you who don't know, Final Fantasy Dissidia is a fighting game based off the first 10 games in the Final Fantasy series.
So here's the breakdown, Chaos (the main antagonist from Final Fantasy I, who is later expanded in Dawn of Souls to be the soul from which other Final Fantasy enemies were created like Cerberus from FF3, Scarmiglione from FF4, Gilgamesh from FF5 and Ultros from FF6, among many others), assembles a group of the greatest villains together for an ultimate showdown against his rival, Cosmos. In retaliation, Cosmos brings together the greatest heroes together to defend her and fight against Cosmos. That's all we really know right now. But who needs to know more?
The character roster for this game reads like the MVP of the greatest RPGS of the past twenty years. For each Final Fantasy, there is a protagonist and an antagonist. Each character has their own individual EX Form or Mode, where they can gain increased stats along with changes in form. Here is each of the characters by Final Fantasy title:
Cosmos (Pic) - Leader of the Heroes.
Chaos (Pic) - Leader of the Villains. Alluded to being the spawn of great evils in Dawn of Souls.
Final Fantasy I:
Hero - Warrior of Light (Pic) (Full) (Knight Form) Knows more about the crystals than the other heroes. Has a special antagonistic relationship with Squall. Is an all-around fighter who uses both magic and weapons.
Villain - Garland (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Weapon can change shapes, split into two swords. Has four magic attacks, based on Lich, Kary, Kraken and Tiamat. Armor turns white, is covered with runes and sword splits into four swords in EX Mode.
Final Fantasy II:
Hero - Firion (Pic) (Full) Uses seven different weapons, each being one used original by other characters in Final Fantasy 2.
Villain - The Emperor Mateus (Pic) (Full) Heavy magic user. EX Form based off of his demon form.
Final Fantasy III:
Hero - Onion Knight (Pic) (Full) (Sage Form) (Ninja Form) Can turn into both Ninja and Sage EX forms to increase speed/damage or magic.
Villain - Cloud of Darkness (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Uses tentacles to attack.
Final Fantasy IV:
Hero - Cecil (Pic) (Full Paladin Form) (Dark Knight Form) (EX Mode) Can switch forms at will from Paladin, which uses magic and aerial attacks, to Dark Knight, which has brute strength and uses ground attacks.
Villain - Golbez (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Summons Shadow Dragon in EX Form, powerful from long ranges.
Final Fantasy V:
Hero - Bartz (Pic) (Full) Can use any hero's weapons or spells, similar to the Mime job class.
Villain - Exdeath (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Can use the powers of the Void, becomes his Tree form in EX Form.
Final Fantasy VI:
Hero - Terra (Pic) Edit: (EX Mode) (Old info: Can become her Esper Form (Art) (2) in EX Mode.)
Villain - Kefka (Pic)
Final Fantasy VII:
Hero - Cloud (Pic) Uses his Buster Sword.
Villain - Sephiroth (Pic) May have special motives against the Warrior of Light and Squall.
Final Fantasy VIII:
Hero - Squall (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) His EX Mode transforms his sword into the Lionheart.
Villain - Ultimecia (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) (2) Is a "magic-shooter" character. Her EX Mode is a combination with Griever.
Final Fantasy IX:
Hero - Zidane (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Uses Mage Mashers. EX Mode is his Trance Form, Dyne (Pic).
Villain - Kuja (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) EX Mode is his Trance Form, Trance Kuja (Pic).
Final Fantasy X:
Hero - Tidus (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Uses his Brotherhood sword and a Blitzball to attack. His Brotherhood sword turns into the Ultima Weapon in EX Mode.
Villain - Jecht (Pic) (Full) (EX Mode) Based off his Braska Final Aeon Form (Pic).
Man, I can't wait to see some of these characters EX Forms in action. A few I can't wait for are Terra's Esper EX Form and Kefka's Fallen Angel form (Pic), along with Sephiroth's Fallen Angel form (Art), also! Hopefully, we'll see some other Final Fantasy characters sneak up in the game as secret characters. I'd love to see Astos from Final Fantasy I, Kain Highwind and Edge from Final Fantasy IV, Faris and Gilgamesh from Final Fantasy V, Locke, Shadow and/or Setzer from Final Fantasy VI, Vincent from Final Fantasy VII, and Auron from Final Fantasy X. It'd also be amazing to Chrono or Magus from Chrono Trigger and either Sora, Riku, or Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. This is all just dreams/speculation of course, but I imagine there will be some fun surprises in store for Dissidia.
I mean, could you imagine Edge and Shadow fighting each other? Or Kuja fighting Magus? Chrono and Cloud or Riku and Cecil? The possibilities would be endless if they were to expand the horizons. Supposedly, there are definitely going to be characters that are not on the sides of Cosmos or Chaos. So we'll have to wait and see...
Anyway, here are some of the subtitled trailers for Dissidia.
And the official site is here.
