Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy continues Squeenix's tradition of stupid titles

[Kim]

Tifa's probably going to make it in. Vincent seems an obvious secondary choice, too, though that honestly depends on how many characters per game they're adding.

EDIT: I want Cid to be in the game, and his special ability is changing what Cid he is.

A Decent FFVIII chaarcter could be Laguna because of his Machine Gun.

I would enjoy seeing Seymour in battle because he could represent a different fighting style.

Oh also, I want the ability to put in my own music without Homebrewing my console please and thankyou.

Kiros = Voldo from soul caliber. Meaning that would be totally awesome.

On the other hand, no one likes Rinoa.

You're such a hater!

This. Like, so much this. Thread over.

But really my point was that if Blues is going to make an argument about Seifer not being put in because he's too similar to Squall, he'd be better served by making that argument and leaving it open who might go in instead, as opposed to choosing one of the least popular characters in the game.

To answer your question, Krylo, the debate was between Seifer and Rinoa because they're two of the three main characters. Zell would work just fine on a technical level, but he doesn't carry the same importance as those two. Neither does, well, anyone else, minus Edea, but I doubt they'd choose her.

Really, pretty much anyone BUT Seifer would work well from that game just because they all worked differently. Seifer's really the only one nothing's to be gained from on a diversity level.

Seriously, take your pick. They all have a mechanic that would probably be workable. Some better than others (Quistis obviously has less to offer, but her Blue Magic would definitely be factored in [EDIT:] actually, on second thought, her whip is an asset all on its own), but any of them could work.

Also, just as a side note, but Rinoa was written very differently in the Japanese version. Our benchmark over here doesn't really apply over there. I have no idea how popular she is in Japan.

I'd say Vincent before Tifa because of DoC. Even in Advent Children/AC Complete, they made sure he had Cerberus, even when the rest of the cast had their default weapons in the flashback and it should have been Quicksilver. Not that there's anything wrong with that. They obviously want him defined by that gun the same way Cloud is defined by the Buster Sword. That's "his" gun. I can't say I'd disagree with his inclusion, either, since, again, he offers a unique play style with not only gun combat, but his various transformations. He seems to have gotten a better handle on them by the time DoC rolls around, so it's not like they'd even have to take control away from the player. Galian Beast could have its fire element and be the speedy one, Death Gigas could keep it's thunder affinity and be a tank, and Hellmasker could be sheer, unbridled melee attack power. Chaos, of course, would be his EX.

The only thing that really stands a chance of putting Vincent in the game is Nomura's hard on for belts and zippers, since that's what got him his own game in the first place. Unfortunately, it was a terrible game that everyone hated. Tifa brings more to the table insofar as unique playstyle and fanbase, seeing as she's the franchise's most popular monk and most popular pair of tits, and between Squall, Lightning, the high probability of a FFX-2 styled Yuna, potentially Seifer, and maybe (hopefully) Sazh, we're pretty good for gun users.

And the reason Zack wouldn't get in isn't because his fighting style is exactly like Cloud's. It's because he's dead.

I always figured that Vincent was just one of those Squeenix characters who is inexplicably vastly more popular than he deserves. Sorta like... well... Everyone in Kingdom Hearts... It's like, Vincent isn't a very good character, and he's a pedophile, but high schoolers can't get enough of mopey vampires with guns so he's in.

Honestly, this is all the more reason for him to show up. Cloud's going along being mopey and shit, and then Zach is there for no reason and we get the most awkward reunion ever.

Though since Lightning is already covering the FF13 hero side... it'd be some long odds you're betting on there.

And I can't beleve no one's suggested EDGAR from FF6.... he's got the verity of machines at his disposal... He could be the hero's regal counter to the Emperor too.

But you know what high schoolers like even more? Short skirts and bigass titties!

Anyway, the main reason in favor of Seifer is that he's a popular antagonist that wasn't already in Dissidia, and they're going to want to keep the Chaos and Cosmos rosters even.

Oh, totally. Though I'm guessing that 13 will have the same amount of characters as the other games, which means at least three. One of them will be a villain, and the third could be just about anyone, but it'll probably be Snow. I want Sazh because just look at this magnificent son of a bitch.

I've been at work all day, so I haven't gotten a chance to run through the likely FF6 candidates. Edgar would be my first choice for playstyle, but the reality is that Nomura's likely to choose one of the two characters from it he originally designed: Shadow and Setzer, and we already know he loves him some Setzer.

I know. That's why I said he was a likely secondary choice depending on the number of characters per game. Like, they'll put in Tifa, but if they add another FF7 character besides her, it will probably be Vincent.

Yeah, I agree with that. I'm just concerned as to how many more characters from each game they can feasibly add to a PSP UMD.
