If they were going to create carbon copies of them, why didn't they just add Cosmos and Chaos?

Marteria and Spiritus aren't supposed to be good and evil I don't think.

read somewhere that they're the gods of creation and destruction

Because their story is over. Cosmos and Chaos were not gods originally and both have died/will die in Cosmos case since no Chaos = world ending regardless.

Expecting Shinryu will be the villain behind it all though.

Isn't this game supposed to be a reboot anyway?

They also announced a dissidia RPG for mobile, which includes a lot more characters than is currently in Dissidia Arcade

Includes several character that have never been voiced before getting voices (LIKE VIVI EEEEEEEE)

Vivi's been voiced by Ikue Ohtani since Kingdom Hearts 2.

ok

i'll admit

completely forgot that KH existed

but to be fair

vivi does jack shit after the prologue

Really comes off as they just didn't want Cosmos to be a fighter...I don't get it either

Spiritus looks okay... Materia looks like one of those costume porn call girls. It's the dinky hat. Look either give her the full armor Ala Minerva or do the Semi nude thing Shiva or Trance Terra has going on.

Its because they wanted it to be full on Continuity Reboot so they got rid of the Cosmos and Chaos angle for the more neutral Materia and Spiritus which are neither good or evil.

Materia still looks terrible though.

Wow...this thread quieted down a ton. Game releases this month, is anyone still here?

Maximillian got sponsored to do some breakdowns of the characters before release, might be a good idea to check out which characters you want to main

I personally would recommend Trueblade Seeker's breakdowns instead, more reading but more comprehensive.

First 6 Season pass characters teased

• Male, New (from newer half of numbered Final Fantasy titles)
• Male, New (from older half of numbered Final Fantasy titles)
• Female, New (from newer half of numbered Final Fantasy titles)
• Male, New (from newer half of numbered Final Fantasy titles)
• Female, Previously Appeared in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series (from newer half of numbered *Final Fantasy titles)
• Male, New (from newer half of numbered Final Fantasy titles)

Female returner is going to be Tifa, Yuna, or Prishe. Really hoping its Yuna because FFX is my first FF game and the more nostalgia the merrier.

If they're going for newer half for the returning character, then it's either Yuna or Prishe.

My guess is:

• Caius
• Locke
• Lyse
• Vivi
• Yuna
• Ardyn

They will likely try and even out the representation to have at least two per game.

Big details from a recent interview with the developers!

• The story draft was written by Kazushige Nojima (Scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, etc.), who also supervised the game as a whole.

• The basis of the draft was written by Saori Itamuro (Final Fantasy XV lead scenario designer, RPG planner for Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy).

• Setting work has been put into parts such as “why is there a war taking place in that world” and even “Why there are up to six characters fighting in a battlefield.”

• The main enemy you must fight in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has been shown several times in the final trailer. It should ring a bell to those who played the previous games.

• As for the chronological order, it goes PSP version → PS 4 version → arcade.

• The arcade version’s opening movie makes sense after playing it on PS 4.

• The PS 4 ending will also help in understanding why the warriors are fighting in the arcade version.

• Making character’s dialogue with each other more appealing was one of the proposals for the game. It would’ve felt like something was missing had they only stuck with self-introductions and lines from their respective titles.

• The developers feared that the story could get a bit complicated with too many characters including the likes of Ramza, Kain, Ace, and such, so there wasn’t much spotlight time for characters other than the main numbered ones. However, since they exist in the timeline, Square Enix would like to add event scenes for them sometime in the future.

• There are some characters that hardly have much of a role in the story, and this is due to adding even more with six characters in the Season Pass.

• Disconnecting during a battle will automatically count as a loss. Square Enix is thinking of a penalty for those who intentionally disconnect, but this has yet to be implemented.

• The PS 4 version will update after the arcade version does. After the release of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT the developers are hoping to go at a pace of one new additional character every two months, like the arcade version of the game.

• The Battle of Gods (an arcade version event) won’t be available on the PS 4 version, so Square Enix is thinking of holding a different kind of event for it instead.

The Orbonne Monastery from Final Fantasy Tactics will be in the game in all of it's giant-square-floating-in-the-middle-of-the-sky glory!

Vayne Carudas Solidor, one of the major antagonists of Final Fantasy XII, has been confirmed to be the first character of the DLC season pass.

holy shit hes a brawler

Wow. I forgot he existed. The story of FFXII was such a non-entity to me.

A new male character from the older half of the numbered Final Fantasy titles will be revealed on May 15th.
