History Trivia / DissidiaFinalFantasy

** Gabranth is now voiced by Keith Ferguson instead of Creator/MichaelERodgers. Why exactly is unknown but according to some rumors, Square Enix could not get in contact with Creator/MichaelERodgers after ''XII'' so so went with Keith Ferguson instead.

* IKnewIt: Though the rest of the series including the original ''Dissidia'' merely hinted or implied it, ''Dissidia 012'' confirms 100% that all ''Final Fantasy'' worlds are connected through the Interdimensional Rift and are part of the same multiverse.
** In the same way, Gilgamesh, Shinryu and possibly Omega (Weapon) are the same entities whenever they appear, just taking on different forms as they travel between worlds.

* CastingGag:
** This universe's incarnation of Chaos is voiced by the ever-talented Keith David - and this isn't the first time he's played a [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} surly winged monster]] before.
** As they couldn't get his normal English actor, Gabranth is voiced by Keith Ferguson, whom voiced his own brother Basch. Adding to how appropriate it is, Gabranth swipes Basch's Quickenings for his [=EX=] Burst.

* AllStarCast: This game pulls off the nearly-unique feat of being filled with NamesToKnowInAnime actors from California, Texas, ''and'' New York. Beyond those, you've got big-name voice actors reprising their roles from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', TV stars reprising their roles from ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'', and to top it all off, Creator/KeithDavid as the BigBad.

* FanNickname:
** The Warriors of Cosmos and Chaos are sometimes simply called Team Cosmos and Team Chaos. [[http://www.gamespot.com/psp/action/dissidia012duodecimfinalfantasy/video/6297966/dissidia-012-duodecim-final-fantasy-interview-with-mitsunori-takahashi Director Mitsunori Takahashi]] [[AscendedFanon has also used the terminology]].
** Warrior of Light, Onion Knight, and Cloud of Darkness are often just called "Wol", "OK", and "Cod". The first one [[VideoGame/MobiusFinalFantasy later got official usage]] for another character. Emperor is sometimes shortened to "Empy", though not as frequently since his name/title isn't as long.
** Some fans call Onion Knight Luneth, for the first main character of the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' remake. Onion Knight's alternate outfit even makes him look like Luneth. Fans who don't try to insist he's Luneth generally call him OK or Onion. And since his hair and armor looks like Onion Knight Ingus, some fans call him that instead of Luneth.

** Creator/KazuyaNakai voices Gilgamesh, in lieu of [[AuthorExistenceFailure the late]] Creator/DaisukeGori.

** There was also some backstage talks about the consideration of Lightning making it to the roster, but was shot down because ''Dissidia'' was released before ''XIII'' and Lightning's inclusion would spoil the skills that she'd use in the game. There's also the fact that they considered Seymour, but opted with Jecht instead since Seymour has more emotional links with Yuna instead of Tidus. Or also how Nomura seems to really wish [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Kain Highwind]] to be in as Cecil's rival, but thought otherwise at the last seconds and put Golbez instead.
** And now with the prequel, the developers considered Eald'narche or Kam'lanaut to represent ''Final Fantasy XI'' on the Chaos side, but decided to go with Prishe as another warrior of Cosmos, who was originally considered for the first game but was left out in favor of Shantotto.
