    Sephiroth's costume is decidedly fanboyish >_>

    And not enough Shantotto for my liking in these scans...

    It took me until this year to finally beat that fucker. Fuck you, Culex.

    Was it really that hard? I don't recall having any trouble with it. Of course, I had Peach equipped with the lazy shell and that star egg thingy, so I was kinda cheating...

    The lazy shell is ridiculous. I didn't even realize Peach could wear it- thought it was Mario only.

    Too bad this game can't get released on the DS so we can get some Mario cameos. Which would be insanely ridiculous.

    Well, he doesn't necessarily have to use a gun. He's Balthier, he can kill you with whatever the hell he wants. Maybe He could use one of those ruler things, just for kicks.

    Everyone does have Alternate Costumes, yes. Obviously in multiplayer the same character can face off against each other in a mirror match. Cloud's is his Advent Children costume (with a wing), Seph's is topless, Squall's is his SeeD uniform, and so on and so forth.

    All of this makes me wonder what Tidus will wear... maybe he'll be forced to wear the Gullwings' prized dressphere? :D

    ...OK, he'll probably be Shuyin, but I'd personally prefer to see him stuck in a Moogle costume just for the laughs.

    See, I'd have expected Shuyin too, but the fact that Cloud is the Advent Children costume and not Zack makes me slightly discouraged from betting on that.

    I think we should just get a Moogle character thrown in. Montblanc would be incredibly kick ass to have. And who the hell would do his voice acting?

    Nomura has confirmed in this week's Famitsu that the last character is from FF12, and also hinted that they'll be on the Chaos side, making for 11 good guys and 11 bad guys. So Balthier is probably out. Gonna be Gabranth.

    It could end up being Vayne. Not that I'd prefer him over Gabranth, but he'd fit the 'final boss' theme better. Gabranth could totally kick his ass though.

    I second the moogle. Montblanc or Stiltskin would be an epic win. A chaotic moogle would be even more entertaining. However, I'm curious if they'll go with another human as the "secret" chaos character. With the addition of Shannatoto i think her chaos counterpoint would need to be a nonhuman as well.

    If they only get one alternate outfit, it should have been Zack. Crisis Core is way better than Advent Children. I almost fell asleep watching that.

    ...Wait... here's a thought... we know they're from 12. We know they'll be on the side of Chaos. We're also missing the obligatory Cid.

    All signs point to Doctor Cidolfus Demen Bunansa, with maybe a few attacks by Venat thrown in for good measure.

    Well, once again my laziness comes back to haunt me. I was going to make a big Dissidia thread, having never come across one here in PA, but I'm beaten to the punch yet again. Guess I'll save that for a future blog post.

    Anyway, are scans or links to scans allowed here? There's a Japanese blog that posts Famitsu scans, and some of the latest Dissidia pics are worth a look.

    Also, as I might have mentioned before, the sausage fest really pisses me off. No Tifa, Celes, Rikku, Rydia, or any other more popular characters have been shown, and I wonder if they ever will.

    Does anyone really care about Firion, Bartz, or their respective enemies being included? Seriously?

    Yep. Wipeout has some DLC tracks, and Monster Hunter Freedom 2 has like 20 downloadable quests and other costumes and goodies, all free.

    They could definitely do DLC.

    Popular where? What country, and what dimension? Personally speaking, I think he's the worst FF villain. Stupid name, no real story other than he's some alien from space who wants to become an immortal tree.

    This. Also, they were considering using Yuna instead of Tidus at one point, with Seymor as the nemesis. That's a bit of a trade off though; get a potentially more popular main FFX character, but get saddled with a lamer FFX villain.

    Also I don't really forsee them adding extra DLC characters. UMD space might be a factor (unless they just don't give them a story mode), and SE is well aware people would pay up the nose for a sequel with a larger cast list. It's the same reason Nintendo won't add DLC characters for Brawl. Well that and the fact that they probably have no idea what DLC is.

    This came from a 1up interview.
    Ikeda: The Chaos story events are great, too. Basically, one side wants to destroy the world and the other wants to rule over it, and they have conferences and things.

    I was seriously hoping for this. No FF villain has the same goals for conquering the world. Guys like Kefka want to just erase all life while dudes like Sephiroth want to rule over the lives.

    In-fighting among the villains sounds awesome.

    It's more than obvious his latest redesign is influenced by Heath Joker. Unfortunately, Square and Nomura will never admit it and insist Kefka is their own creation and The Joker was never an influence.

    I'm hoping Square NA will be more sensible and add a "Why So Serious" line during the english localization.
