Schalla Kitty, in her Dissidia-related blog, FFchaoticcosmos, has posted some translations from the recent Famitsu scans, including some info about Cloud and Sephiroth. Here you go:
As for the rest:
Cloud Strife
"With this blue-eyed SOLDIER, our concept was 'Smash and Blow.' Many of his attacks are designed to knock the opponent back, gaining additional damage from slamming them into walls, however this makes him a little quirky in aerial combat."
Cloud's attacks include standards such as Cross-Slash and Meteorain in addition to his EX-Burst of Omnislash. His EX-Mode is switching from the Buster Sword to the Ultima Weapon.
Sephiroth
"A SOLDIER possessing overwhelming power, who planned to absorb the Planet's Energy. His concept is that of a 'Blade Master.' He cuts with a 'sword that can't be seen.' This high speed sword technique is his key feature. Many portions of the fighting arenas will show damage after his attacks, making this 'sword that can't be seen' really interesting."
Sephiroth's attacks include Octaslash from Crisis Core (here with it's much better Japanese name of Eight Flashing Blades), and his iconic downward stabbing attack that took the life of Aeirth is now referred to as "The Prison Gate." His EX-Mode will be his One-Winged Angel from from Advent Children, and his EX-Burst is Super Nova.
As for the rest:
Game Boards
Not too much to mention about the game boards that we don't already know. The official name for the character on the board is a "Player Piece." Dialogue will occur on the boards as we have seen - I couldn't come up with exact translations but the conversation between Tidus and Firion is about fighting against Jecht, Firion saying that he is only concerned with fighting against Chaos and for Tidus not to take offense if that includes Jecht. The one between Tidus and Cloud is about swords. Of particular note is the appearance of what can only be a Cosmos Boss Piece on Cloud's board. This further supports that there will be some level of same-side infighting, though how malicious it will be remains to be seen.
Story Scenes
Two scenes include our newest characters and here at the lines shown -
With Golbez and Sephiroth - Golbez: I need someone who will not be burned when approaching the light. (This seems to be building upon the scene between them in the trailer.)
With Tidus, Firion, Cecil and Cloud - Cloud: Fighting recklessly would be dangerous when we don't even know what's going on.
Another Costume
Just the very clear note that Terra's alternate version will be "Green-haired Terra."
Online Features
So our first taste of what some of the online features will be. You will be able to enter the Online Lobby and customize a Friend Card to go with your profile. You can exchange "Ghosts" with your friends - these will be AI files programed to mimic your fighting style. It seems that you can unlock certain items by defeating these Ghosts, but it wasn't 100% clear to me. You can also fight against your friends, setting up the characters you will play, the rules of the match, and the fighting arena - with 25 to choose from. We've only seen 12 arenas thus far, so it will be interesting to see the other 13.
