Garbage split and deleted. You may proceed.

I might be really optimisitic, but I'm hoping this game is good. Then again, I thought that Dirge of Cerberus MIGHT have been good, because they might do something original by not doing an RPG.

Square: please go back to RPGs. You suck at everything else.

Still, it's a good start to include characters like Cain and Zidane. We'll all ignore the idiot Sephiroth inclusion. I mean, how many times does Sephiroth have to look up at us from fucking fire? I'm so sick and tired of that bitch. They should make a seperate game for FF7 characters and let the idiots who OMG <3 SEPHIROTH go and play that, instead.

One last thing: it seems cheap and campy to include the "Warrior of Light" from FF1. FF1 is outdated and blows. The "Warrior of Light" has no personality. Garland, however, is permissible, if only because, like, his helmet, you know, has HORNS.

And THAT is fucking awesome.

This sound somewhat interesting. The odds would definitely be in favour of it not being great, but could turn out alright. Aside from those in the preview video that Infernal linked to have any other characters been confirmed? I can't see mention of anyone else and can't believe a fighting game would have just five or so characters.

Just dropping in with the latest characters revealed to be in Dissidia, Tidus and Jecht (YOU BEEN EATIN' RIGHT BOY!?):



Now, I know some people are getting nervous about folks from FFIV-VI being conspicuously absent but we'll just have to wait and see.

O.O at Tidus' outfit. Well that's different. Jecht looks pretty much the same. Still hoping for Locke (hope his hair's gray though) but chances are slim at this point.

This will be the 4th game I'll be importing for the PSP.

Tidus and Jecht? Well I guess that makes sense... Father vs Son good ol' fashion brawl...

Don't quite get Tidus's modified outfit though. Whats with that red jewel hanging on his white shirt?

And I want Terra from FF6. I really really do. This game is getting too much pretty boys to my liking.

No, you can leave the good games out of this abortion. Really. We'll be cool with it.

You take that back about Final Fantasy 9.

I'm pretty sure that they'll be including a Final Fantasy IV character (Cecil-Kain or something) because of the upcoming release of the DS game.

This 'abortion' is probably going to sell out the first day in Japan. I wonder which bad pop star is going to do the main theme. =/

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I thought Kain and Cecil from IV along with Sephiroth from VII were already confirmed a few pages back...unless that was a hoax.

Edit: Okay, I'm not finding any evidence that Kain and Cecil were confirmed but it seems Golbez might have been.

Oh, you're right. Guess I forgot.

Is Square-Enix going to give us any actual gameplay ideas, or are they just going to keep releasing what old characters are going to appear? Christ, this game has been announced for a year now. We should be nearing release, shouldn't we?

Why would they be worried about talking up the gameplay. Huh. I wonder what possible outcome we can expect from this?

:(

Almost looks like a drop of blood in the scan. I can't really see it in the screenshot.

Oh wait, Final Fantasy? That's not blood.

You know I have love for FF IX. But it's been tainted by this, now. I don't need it ruining other games that don't suck.

Alright, here's the current known roster of characters that have been announced for this game:

Final Fantasy I: Warrior of Light, Garland
Final Fantasy II: Firion, Emperor Palamecia
Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth (we know Cloud is sure to follow)
Final Fantasy VIII: Squall Leonhart, Ultimecia
Final Fantasy IX: Zidane Tribal, Kuja
Final Fantasy X: Tidus, Jecht

So currently there are no characters from III-VI.

Konami is gonna collaborate with Square on the sequel. And I'll be laughing at you... from HELL.

More like R-Type: Ehrgeiz.

I'd love to hear the logic behind that statement. How can the inclusion of a character from a game you like in a different game you've decided you won't like ruin the original game you do like? That's the sort of 'tard logic I'd expect from Zeal or Megalith.

you know its like when you play kingdom hearts and see your favorite square characters and decide that they were completely ruined and made you hate the games they were on . . . . no wait this falls under the same category which doesn't make any more sense ~_~

Anyways, I love clash up games, for like a week then I'll just leave it be. But what a week it'll be.

It doesn't ruin the game, that was just me and Rotor fucking around. But these sorts of games certainly cheapen the memory of characters you enjoy. Oh hey, you like Setzer? Well now he's a little kid in chibi disney world. LULZ.

No, Square needs to stop that shit. This game is shaping up to be Ehrgeiz II.

His life is a chip in Square's pile, Deni. They're just anteing up.

Nomura needs to be shot in the head is the point of all this, I think.

Hate. Hate. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE-- *headshot*

That's about the gayest thing I've read here all week. And anyway, if you want to preserve your special memories, don't buy the new game. You don't even own a PSP do you?

Not that I'm defending the game, I have no intention of buying it whatsoever. I just think it's a big wanky to talk about your memory of special characters being raped by seeing them re-designed with bigger boots and more zips.
