Final Trailer, Characters, Message, and DLC, have been updated on the official Japanese site.

The Final Trailer can be viewed both on the official site and on Square-Enix’s official Youtube channel:

We have Firion and The Emperor as new additions to the Character section, Warrior of Light, Garland, and Kain all receive their 3rd outfits.

Message translation is pending.

DLC section has a full render of Aerith.

Content ripped after the jump. (more…)

According to this week’s issue Famitsu, initial rumors of Yuna’s appearance in Dissidia Duodecim are indeed true. Presumably it will be her Final Fantasy X appearance, since the trailer reports indicated her walking barefoot on water as if preforming a sending.

Also confirmed my Tetsuya Nomura and director Mitsunori Takehashi:

*More characters post-SNES Final Fantasy series.
*Returning characters will have a lot of changes, such as Kefka and Shantotto.
*The Story Mode will have 15+ hours game play.
*The original Dissidia story will be included and enhanced, making total play time over 60 hours.
*Besides the new 3D World Map System, the Board based System from the first game will remain be in the game.
*More summons will be available.
*Laguna from FFVIII was left out in Kingdom Hearts BBS so he can debut in this game.
*Dissidia Duodecim 012: Final Fantasy is set for a release on March 3, 2011 in Japan.

Tonight’s been a big night regarding news with Dissidia Final Fantasy Duodecim 012. Jump Festa has announced the Japanese release date of the game as March 3, 2011, and even a limited edition Chaos and Cosmos PSP as well.

…But what’s more shocking is the update to the North American site. The North American Dissidia site updated their character section to include all the newly revealed characters but…there seems to have been a glitch with Cloud of Darkness’s profile and alternate outfit.

Unless Cloud of Darkness is into cosplay for another FF, I think we’re looking at the new character alternate look for Ultimecia.

A big thanks to DrakeClawfang for the heads up.

Over the years, it’s become hard work for FFVII fans to keep up with what’s supposed to be canon and what isn’t. Amidst all the games, movies, novellas, guide books, and alternate universe titles, what’s a FFVII fan to do?

Read this article, that’s what!

I’m going to take all the work out of it on your end and lay everything out for you, the fans, to digest in a simple, easy-to-follow manner. So, the next time you’re in a debate about FFVII with HeartlessAngel527 or FlowerGoddess777 and they begin to reference Cloud’s wing, Aerith waiting around for a certain spikey-haired emo kid, or other stuff you know doesn’t belong, you can go all Phoenix Wright on them.

So, click “Read the rest of this entry” and let’s get started.

That’s right, folks, we finally have confirmation on those pesky rumors that have been flying around.

It appears that Vaan will added to the roster of characters in Dissidia Duodecim 012.  Don’t act so surprised.

It is our first glimpse at a new costume for Terra, in the screen-shot on the very bottom of the scan.

A big thanks goes out to forum member DrakeClawfang as well as front page commenter Phi for finding this for us.

The official Dissidia 012 [Duodecim] website has been updated with more content.

Currently the only area updated is the character section. It now features Cecil Harvey, Golbez, Cloud Strife, Sephiroth, and Tifa Lockhart (in addition to Kain Highwind, Lightning, Warrior of Light, and Garland).

(10/27/10) The “Final Fantasy A Historical Compendium” has been updated with Final Fantasy II.

Profiles for the FFVII Characters are included bellow.
(more…)

Several new screenshots of various Dissidia Final Fantasy Duodecim characters have been added to the official Famitsu site. Included are looks at Golbez and Cecil’s new look, along with their new HP attacks Sector Ray and Shadow Bringer. Also, images of Tifa’s new fighting style and the Assist System are included.

Famitsu this week featured a look at Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart in Dissidia Dudoecim 012, with glimpses of Tifa in the opening CGI cutscene of the game, various other in game cutscenes (including her healing a wounded Kain), and of course scenes featuring the two along with their enemy Sephiroth. As expected, their FFVII conflict is alive and strong as always, even in another world where their memories are fried. Furthermore, we see all the current alternate costumes for Cloud.

Also, Weekly Jump featured a look at Tifa in her alternate Advent Children outfit, apparently…beating the snot out of Cloud, in true Cloti tradition. As they say, ‘Love Hurts. A lot.’

EDIT: Bellow is some translated info the scans regarding Tifa, her play style, and new attacks for Golbez and Cecil, thanks to Hitoshura.

(more…)

It seems there were more scans on Dissidia Final Fantasy Dudoecim, in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Along with the scan featuring Tifa Lockhart, new renders of Cloud, Sephirtoh, Cecil, and Golbez are featured, including the alternate outfit for Golbez. Unsuprisingly, it’s his armorless look from Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Cloud’s outfit is from his Amano artwork. Sephiroth and Cecil’s look however, are outfits closer to the original looks from their respective games.

The other page features a glimpse into certain abilities tied to the Assist System. There’s:

- Assist Change
The Assist Character taking the damage of an attack for you

- Assist Charge
Charges the Assist gauge when your HP is low or if you dodge and counterattack when you’re just about to go into Break

- Assist Lock
Locks out the other person’s Assist usage

A big thanks to Phi for giving us a heads up on these scans! And hitoshura for the translations!

A new scan from Weekly Jump has revealed Tifa Lockhart’s Dissidia Duodecim artwork, along with a glimpse of her EX-Mode and Ex-Burst.

Expectedly, her EX-Burst relies on her slot limit breaks from FFVII, and includes her equipping her ultimate weapon from FFVII. The Premium Heart.

A big thanks to Phi and DrakeClawfang for the find on our forums!

For your viewing pleasure, here is the extended Tokyo Game Show Trailer for Dissidia Duodecim, subtitled. A big thanks to DrakeClawfang and hitoshura for this. Enjoy!

The official Dissidia 012 [Duodecim] website has been updated with more content.

New links on the main page lead to “Final Fantasy A Historical Compendium” (presently only has Final Fantasy I viewable), and both websites for Dissidia and Dissidia Universal Tuning, it also features a “What’s New” window. There is also a small icon to the left side of the site, which is features a beginners tutorial.

Site now features Story, Characters, System (disabled for now), Movie, Message (currently disabled) DLC, and Information sections.

The Character section features Kain Highwind, Lightning, Warrior of Light, and Garland. Interestingly 2D artwork is used for each character as per the original Dissidia website, instead of 3D renders which were used for the Universal Tuning site.

The movie section now features the longer trailer, which was previously shown in the closed private area at TGS 2010.

The DLC (Downloadable Content) section shows both Lightning’s Aya costume along with Cloud’s Kingdom Hearts I outfit (both 3D renders).

Below are translations for the two character profiles for Kain, and Lightning.
