Earlier in the month, Tidus and Jecht were revealed via Famitsu to be part of the roster of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. PSPHyper now has more details from that same issue of Famitsu. A battle system with HP and Brave points, which is the determinant of your character's power, is elaborated upon. Brave points are used to make HP Attacks, depleting your opponent's HP. Special moves can also be used this way and are earned by leveling up and they are unique to each character. An indicator that helps the player time each press of the button will appear during these special moves.
When your EX gauge becomes full, you enter EX mode, which is a Limit Break-esque state that will power up your character and perform up to four types of transformations. Gil, the currency of the Final Fantasy world, has also been revealed as part of the game but what it does is currently unknown. Gliding has also been shown as a means of movement. Despite its RPG roots, Dissdia's RPG elements are limited to leveling up and choices regarding treasure chests and enemies.
Nomura also assures us the reason the game is taking so long simply because each character has many moves and transformations, and their team wants to make them look perfect. As reported before, there will be 20 characters in the final cast and currently 50% of the game is done. To learn more, the entire article is available here.

Must buy this game and rub box all over my body (just like I did with MGS4). I can't wait for this, it looks epic. I hope the best character ever is in this. . . that long tongued chef from FFIX(I think) who's name I don't remember . . . yeah . . . he was great.

Quina? x_o

yeah, that was it. Quina. I was joking. . . as far as 'comic relief' characters go Quina was one of the worst by far, only second to Wakka who should have never existed. Personally I could have done without Cait Sith too but whatever. . . Fujin and Raijin FTW.

If they can somehow show Zell struggling to obtain a hot dog, that would be all the comic relief I would need.

Eww, sticky box cover art...
Wakka wasn't bad. I'm playing X right now, and he's one of the better characters for regular battles. He's better than Tidus and Kimahri both, especially against enemies weak against status or elemental attacks.

Dont rub it all over your body, it's bad for your lungs, try something like smoking, that should help.

Ultimecia is female. And Cloud of Darkness too (I think)... That's it though? Maybe Terra for FFVI.
