The way the battles were described reminds me of KH2. There you had a similar setup where contextual commands would pop up for you to use, often going into a longer stream of inputs. Sounds interesting and definitely lends itself to some frenetic combat.

I'm curious as to what heroes they'll choose to put in, aside from the expected ones (Cloud, Squall, Tidus, etc). And who would they pick from FFVI and FFXII?

If they HAVE to put people in 12, it better be Balthier, Ashe and Basch. Maybe Fran. But Vaan and Penelo.... Eh..

FF6, god, I want the whole gang. Though I would probably favor the girls like Celes and Terra.

I want to see Gogo, he's like Shang Tsung but better taste in pals. Anyway as long as you can play as Kefka, and he'd better be the creepiest fucking clown ever seen, I'll buy a PSP for it.

You play a lot of MUGEN, don't you? No wonder you have such low standards.

I'm kinda on the fence with this one. Squeenix's spin off's have been pretty hit or miss lately (mostly miss) so yeah, I'll just wait and see.

When it comes to Nomura's art though, I actually don't mind it at all. He's made the whole zipper/leather/spiky-hair thing all his own. (Which I think still looks great after all these years and numerous titles). It would be nice though to try out other art styles with different titles as opposed to turning to him for everything square.

koifox: I actually have no idead what MUGEN is. I've heard a lot of noise about it, but know nothing about it. So if someone could explain it to me sometime that would be cool.

Very quick explanation: It is a versatile customizable 2D Fighting Game which allows for many numerous characters, ranging from Chiyo from Azumanga Daiyo to Peter Griffin from Family Guy to compete in Marvel Vs. Capcom style arcade action.

As far as the artwork on the characters go and having Nomura 'design' the characters originally made by other artists. Its just fanwank/fanservice for Square Enix fans who give a shit about that sort of thing. In otherwords a nonissue.

Don't forget that MUGEN is broken as fuck and not worth the trouble.

MUGEN aside, this game will be worth a download, I'm still trying to figure out the fighting system. I really do like SE's fighting games, all 2 of them, so if this a real fighter, as opposed to an "action" X Button masher, then it'll be worth the trouble I'm sure. Now all you'd need to do is find people to play it ='D

If Kefka is playable. I'm soooo buying it. Hells. I take that back. If Kain is playable from FFIV. I'm game. Do it SE!

What's the other one aside from Ehergeiz?

Yeah I was kind of wondering about that one myself.

I'm assuming the other "fighting" game is The Bouncer. Am I right?

It's probably Bushido Blade. Which was awesome.

Bushido Blade 1/2 :D

I completely forget that Squaresoft made those. Just doesn't fit into their style.

then again, I guess the same could be said for the other Non-RPGs they've made, like Einhander.

Technically it was Light Weight that developed Bushido Blade (Square was the publisher). But I guess they do have experience with fighting games, even if they weren't the full developers of them (have they said if it's Square themselves that are making Dissidia or did they outsource the work?)

And why has everyone forgotten about Tobal No. 1 and 2? Those were also Square-published fighting games, you know...

I'll be over the moon if they throw in more characters from IV, V and VI. Exdeath, Golbez, Edgar, Kefka and Kain are my shortlist.

Downloadable content wouild also be a nice plus for this game.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing "Doomtrain" as a playable character.

How the hell would Doomtrain be a playable character? He's simply a train for christ's sake, lol.

Just a a quick point of note. Square also did Tobal no. 1 and 2. 1 wasn't terrible, but I hear 2 is fantastic.

The Tobal games should be "classics" for their uniqueness. Everyone go buy them now, and Squenix remake them for the DS with two-player Wi-Fi whatchamacallit.

If you can tell me where to find Tobal no. 2 I'm there. I scoured everywhere for it and couldn't find a copy (legit or otherwise).

If they can make the Daytona USA car a playable fighter in Fighter's Megamix, they can make a train a fighter too.

I made a request for it a while ago here and someone actually did post a link to it. Just try doing a search for it in the Other Requests forum, or make a new thread if nothing else. I'd upload my copy but I'm not sure where I put the ISO, and my connection kinda sucks for uploading right now.

Yes, but he was also a boss.

A very forgiving one, especially in FFVI if I may recall.

Here comes an internet link on the internet to a trailer on the internet! Sephiroth seems to have upgraded from fire to lava. Good to know!

The battles feel like the boss battles in KH2, chaotic, action heavy, and flashy, and various RC type moves going on.

Why the hell is Zidane's voice even more girlish than Ed's JP voice for FMA?! I thought this voice is supposed to be BROKEN!

Kuja sounds awesome.

Sephy's character model looks awesome in Dissidia. (No Marilyn Manson lips.)
