With FFI, II, III, VIII, IX, and X's rosters fully confirmed, there's only room for three more games. FFVII's Sephiroth has been teased in trailers for the longest time, and 1UP's preview also mentions that FFVI's Kefka had been spotted in a new trailer at the recent Square Enix party. This basically points to both VI and VII being confirmed for two of the final three slots. That leaves either IV or V to be cut from the game. Seeing as V is the worst title in the series (feel free to send us your hate mail), most likely it'll be the one to be cut.

Wasn't Golbez seen in one of the promotional posters for the game? The big one with all the villians? Yeah, he was right there next to Jecht.
IV, VI, and VII just plain makes sense.

I played part of V, but I though II was the worst.
But that won't stop me from playing Firion!

I'd say no V because the characters are so dumb.
Bartz and Ex-Death? No..

I doubt thats correct... SE treat all the FFs the same and I'd highly doubt they'd leave out one FF game in an FF all star beat em up >_>
Sure FFV is considered a bad on but so is II as well as XII theres some who consider IX seriously bad while others think VIII is weak and even some who dislike VII... no matter what theres always gonne be a person who hates one and loves another.

Since V is cut out of any chance of being in the game, I'm hoping at least Gilgamesh shows up in one of his incarnations. He's been in enough games in the FF multiverse that he needs to be at least a cameo or an unlockable.

I think they will leave out IV or V for XII. I think they will include an Archadian Judge from XII. Why? I'm a physic =D
Seriously though, remember my name (strike), because when they announce an Archadian Judge, you will all worship me! HAHAHAhAhaHAHA!?

I agree with you, not everyone has the same opinion.

Square Enix also said there are gonna be 20 characters, so the other two have to come from somewhere. At the same time, they said there was a little surprise in store. Any guess's? I hope it's a character creator, that would be oresome, with a capital A :)

Ex-Death, Golbez, and Kefka were seen in art for it during this weekend, the 9 FF's only thing was a load of crap. Regardless of how you personally feel about as good a game as FFV, it IS included, deal with it.

a character creator would just be horrible because you'll have all these great characters and one/two generic characters

ExDeath, Golbez, and Kefka were all confirmed at the event. Final Fantasy I-X ARE included. Check around, there are many reports of this. qj.net and www.ffworld.com to name a few.

Neither site you've posted as sources are in Japan for the event. However, 1UP is:
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=8828512&publicUserId=5379721#comments
I'd take the source that is actually there to be the more credible one.

A better source is Neogaf, who have confirmed about the other characters in the game that Lance just mention about. Yes there will be 10 characters and once that comes truth, you'll have to change your article. I'll keep tabs for reference!

FFV would make enough sense. FFIV's Cecil may be in the running against the Warrior of Light and the younger Onion Knight (Ceodore, anyone? I wouldn't be surprised if some allusions to FFIVTA were/are made between Cec and OK), but he's rather iconic and, at least in my eyes, FFIV is THE vision of FINAL FANTASY (not to say it's better than other titles, but it's up there for me and iconic for the series).
Golbeza is also much cooler and prolly more well-known and/or liked compared to Exdeath. Not sure how magically inclined Exdeath was (I understand he was magically powerful, though), but Golbeza was never seen to use a weapon. An armored wizard is an etherecal tank (as opposed to the more real-word "ethereal", which just made me think of Darth Vader).
While Butz seems like a good-ol'-boy, "Freelancer" doesn't seem like the best choice for a fighter, and expemplifying all of his possible (or even suitable) classes might be a bit much. This, though, is just a guess on my part.
*forgets what was going to type* Something... hm...
Also: LOL at Kefka inspirational.

And here's the link:

Dissidia: Onion Knight is voiced by Jun Fukuyama, Cloud of Darkness is Masako Ikeda and Kefka is Shigeru Chiba. There appears to be a chessboard looking system, in the new trailer but it is unclear if this is an intermission mechanic between stages or if it is something similar to the Sphere and Licence grid systems. Might be more of the latter. Sephiroth is also seen in the realtime ingame engine for the first time. Golbez and Exdeath show up at the end and don't have any game or story scenes in the trailer. The demo on the show floor has Warrior of Light, Garland, Onion Knight, Tidus, Squall and Zidane as playable characters. When playing as Tidus, the Otherworld BGM is used. When you win a battle in Dissidia, you appear to gain equipment items, so although there is no equipment menu in the demo it's probably a part of the game.
