The new game is titled Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy. In develpoment for PSP, the game will see release in 2011.

The magazine confirms Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning and Final Fantasy IV's Kain as playable characters. Aside from that, nothing is known at present.

This is very likely the mystery game Tetsuya Nomura said earlier today would be playable at the Tokyo Game Show, so we should be hearing a whole lot more shortly.

In other Jump reveal news, the magazine also mentions that Lighting will be appearing in The 3rd Birthday in some capacity. We'll have to wait for further details on this little bit.

Will post scans as soon as I find some.

Dissidia Final Fantasy is getting a followup

I sincerely hope they try to mix up the cast some. Or at least add more from every game. Yuna was going to be the FFX representative if Seymore had been the villain, but they went with Jecht, instead. I think playable Yuna would be awesome.

Also, maybe they'll include Celes in this one. Every time I think about it, I think of CJ's edit to the Terra art and how awesome it was.

Goddammt I want Sabin in the game.

Blues.
Blues.
Blues.

Erase everything you just typed and replace it with the following:

"If there's a playable Red XIII, I am totally buying a PSP and Dissidia 2, and I will PWN ALL those humanoid losers while mocking their lack of etiquette or their ludicrous hairdos."

Being realistic. If they add anyone, it's probably going to be Vincent because of DoC. As much as I like Red (one of the most powerful characters in his game, takes the cake outright for a while after Cosmo Canyon, and I felt much more strongly for his story than anyone else's), the honest truth is that his fan base, while dedicated, is small. Vincent is almost as popular as Sephy, which is why he got his own game in the first place. I see him going in first to avoid the complications Zack poses (although I love Zack to death and it would be great if they found a way to make him workable), and if not Vincent then probably Barret or Tifa (although as I said the last time around, I'd also love to have the chance to make Aerith beat the stupid out of Sephy with her staff). Red ranks rock bottom of people liable to make it in from that game.



Edit: Actually, my burning question is who will make it in from FF9 aside from Zidane. Vivi is the most popular character from that game, in fact one of the most popular of all of FF, but the problem is he doesn't really have anyone to oppose him. Minus maybe Kuja. Aside from that, he doesn't really have a unique skill set. But then neither does anyone but Zidane. Garnet seems like an obvious choice because of Brahne except that she's a Summoner/White Mage. My shot in the dark would be Steiner and Beatrix, if it weren't for the fact that half of Steiner's skills depend on Vivi. Maybe they could just cheat, but it doesn't seem right.

I doubt they are going to go with the "opposing rivals" idea once again, now that the premise has turned out to be successful. If anything, this is the perfect chance to go all Marvel vs. Capcom on it and choose a wider range of characters regardless of their animosity with each other.

Solid, is that you?

I want FFXII's Cid, but we'll most likely be getting Balthier instead. Oh well. Here's hoping Vivi makes it in.

Well they do tend to put in the leading man.
