The character countdown is almost over now, people. With the confirmation of Cecil and Golbez as Final Fantasy IV's respective light and darkness ambassadors, we now know the identities of most Dissidia alumni. Final Fantasies I through IV and VIII through X are now complete, while villains for VI and VII have also been revealed.
All that's really left is to figure out who the heroes of VII (no-brainer really ... unless a Caith Sith surprise is in store) and VI (more difficult to gauge considering characters shared the spotlight equally) are. That, and what's the fate of V -- in or not? Lots of conflicting reports on that one so we'll wait and see. Maybe TGS is the time to get those last inkling details before the big release this December.

Oh! It's warrior of light without his helmet! And Garland with -another- helmet!
Is it just me or the designs look way to similar? :S

Have you seen Amano's artwork? They all looked the same in the early days.

Not so, with Crisis Core and Before Crisis, we might get any of the followings as light representants
1.- Tseng (Head of the turks)
2.- Angeal
3.- Aeris (Yeah, i can see her fighting Killik (from Soul Calibur) style)
4.- Zack
5.- Tifa
6.- Vincent
They all have a strong relationship with Sephirot, specially Aeris and Angeal. Not as strong as Cloud, but please, leave the man whip on a corner alone already!!!!

1.- Tseng - I doubt this. Tseng is more important than Cloud now?
2.- Angeal - He wasn't even playable.
3.- Aeris - Aside form the SoulCalibur comment... Really? They'd pick Aerith over Cloud?
4.- Zack - Already had a PSP game, and Sephiroth wasn't even the main villain.
5.- Tifa - She has little to nothing to do with Sephiroth.
6.- Vincent - His enemy was Hojo mostly. Also why represent an almost universally hated game?
7. Genesis - He was the bad guy. And, well... Even though he became good, I seriously doubt they would completely ignore the original Final Fantasy VII and just concentrate on the little moments Sephiroth and Genesis were together.
Mark my words, it's Cloud. If it's not, I sacrifice my internet account on every website I've ever been on.

Final Fantasy 3 was more likely what Final Fantasy 1 and 3 were, not a very centric story besides the crystals.
Still, I can only hope we get Lenna or Faris appears, but i'm pretty sure will be Bartz doing the appearance. Now that I think about it, man, Bartz was lucky, he was the only male on his party at the end of the game, xD

Unless they pick Gilgamesh as the hero.
There is a good reason for him being the hero (besides revenge against Exdeath)

Heck even Genesis might be as a hero (since he's now the protector of the earth), Angeal had connections to sephiroth too, but they Zack has more chance than they both. Who knows maybe there's going to be some secret characters, hmm ;D? Vincent might be a candidate too, he share something with Sephiroth, though not intact, but there's something they share, can't just put fingers on it.

I chuckled at the Cait Sith comment. I am replaying FFVII right now and I absolutely hated the first part where they made me use him in my party. My least favorite FF Character ever. So useless.

Glad to see that Cecil still has his Dark Knight form. Without it he's just another warrior of light. I hope they pick Terra for 6 I want play as a girl in a fighting game, I'm pro Chun-li. Even though I know that Cloud will be for 7, I still wish it was Zack. Zack actually knew Sephiroth appose to Cloud who only though he knew him. And people need to stop knocking Bartz! He was in a party with all girls. All they have to do for Bartz is put him in a purple suit and he's ready for Dissidia!

I think it's cloud mainly because of what sephiroth says in the new trailer.
here is what he says:
"The despair you desire, shall i give it to you?"
Then he says - "After all, you're just a puppet"
obvious references to FFVII and AC
Maybe he's talking to someone else maybe not, and besides he has a lot more history with Cloud than the others, at least in terms of hating each other..

1UP stating that one FF was out of Dissidia was a lie - which they admitted, and V hasn't got the boot, check out the 3rd trailer when the villains come out of the lava wall - there are 10 of them, which Golbez and Exdeath are standing side-by-side with each other.
Cloud will be in Dissidia, no doubt - though I wish Zack was in... it's always been Cloud and Sephiroth, and i've gotten sick of all that crap...
Terra or Celes is in Dissidia, since in the 3rd trailer shows a white-cloaked Female on the far left with red dots on the bottom of her cape - like Terra's Amano artwork.
And Bartz is in - his hand was in the scene where a close-up of the heroes during the end accured.

I'm pretty sure they showed the shadow of Exdeath in the last trailer Square Enix released towards the end.

Assuming that this game does get released in North America, which we're still waiting for unfortunately, I hope there's an option to download characters as additional game-add ons. I think that would be a neat idea, i.e., the game has a set amount of characters and then as the months progress, special characters from FF series get released to download through the PSN.
Now to sit back and wait to see if North America (you know, those people who dont seem to matter lately in the PSP game side when compared to Japan) will get this release.
PS - Yes I know you can import it which I will be doing if it doesnt get a release, but I'd suspect that the vast majority of people out there dont/cant import for whatever reason.

I think it would be interesting that if you have a Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions or Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII save file you could be able to unlock characters like Ramza, Delita, and Zack.
