Let it be someone for the Chaos side. SERIOUSLY. With all these fighters in the Cosmos side, how on earth did they lose this battle? The Chaos side must be reinforced. They have close to the half members!

Gilgamesh and Beatrix are probably the two best examples of characters who can "go both ways" in terms of which side they fight on. (And the Turks, but I won't mention them to prevent Tres from freaking out.) Though I suppose you could make that argument with Celes too. Delita would be another one, though I know that they won't be dipping into Tactics.

Ooh! I got a good one. GENESIS
:duhard:

You think it'll be another hero?

There sure are a lot of heroes:villains considering they lose :P Beatrix is a nice in-betweener.

I really though Seifer would be in it for the villains, but when they chose Laguna, I don't think they are really going to bother with Chaos anymore. Yes, it would be nice, but tbh- they look like they are focusing on a new plot approach (Dissidia plot lol) that focuses on Cosmos side- so they're bringing as many good guys as they can. We'll be lucky if we see one new chaos member, and he better be pretty popular to trump the intro of a potential good guy.

Okay, revised Dissidia wishlist - Celes, Gilgamesh, Eald'narche, and THIS

Battle theme for the final boss of A Shantotto Ascension.

EDIT - minor update. http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/15/flying_get/

Famitsu's coverage this week of Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy is expectedly about the recent Laguna and world map reveals from Jump. Of course, Famitsu goes into more detail.


The world map is part of what's known as "RPG Mode." You'll be able to experience a story with scenarios and events as you travel around the world.


RPG mode uses a symbol encounter system, meaning you'll get into battle with enemies that you encounter on the map. You won't find any towns in the world, but you will find shops.


Screenshots hinted at some sort of party system for this mode. Depending on the scenario's chapter, your party members will be preset or you'll be able to form your own party.


Famitsu also reveals Final Fantasy III's Crystal Tower as a new battle stage.

Laguna:

Final Fantasy VIII's Laguna is described by battle director Takeo Kujiraoka as a "Tactical Gunner." Players must use of a variety of guns, making use of what Kujiraoka referred to as "tricky attacks." His style is to fight strategically, attempting to get behind his opponent for instance.

Laguna makes use of a variety of weapons for his Brave Attacks. By holding down the attack button, you can make these attacks change properties. For instance, hold down the attack button when using a machine gun and you'll get repeat fire. Hold down the button when using a shot gun, and your bullets will fire out as a bunch, leading to a more powerful attack.

Regarding the machine gun, Kujiraoka likens the control feel to a TPS (third person shooter). The gun fires automatically as you hold the attack button down, and you're free to run around with the analogue pad.

Laguna's sniper rifle looks like it will play into the tricky side of the character. Bullets from the rifle ricochet off walls. You can use this trait to aim down at the ground in order to take out enemies above you.

Both the rifle and rocket launcher allow you to freely aim with the analogue pad. The rocking launcher uses homing bullets.

When using grenades, the distance Laguna tosses the grenade is determined by the number of times you press the attack button before firing.

Laguna's HP attacks use a weapon themed around the Ragnarok ship that appeared in Final Fantasy VIII. His EX Burst move is called "Ultimate Ragnarok Canon and is based off his "Desperado" limit break from FFVIII.

New moves and Crystal Tower info:

These characters have new attacks. Squall has "Fire Ballet," a new Brave Attack which sends multiple fire blasts chasing after the enemy. Ultimecia has Knight's Sphere, a new Brave Attack that pierces an enemy in front for her with a giant sphere. Onion Knight has a new skill called "Power Up," which increases stats such as critical, physical attack and physical defense.

Joining the new character details, Famitsu introduces a new battle map, Final Fantasy III's Crystal Tower. According to Kujiraoka, the staff wanted to have a different type of background for this setting, so they decided to place the fight on the outside of the tower. The map is flat, but there's a giant tower in the middle. You can climb the tower to a certain extent, allowing you to see the background into the distance.

The World Map

Screenshots make this truly look like an RPG. You can see all three characters in your party on the field. You can actually talk to these characters, potentially gaining hints.

One screen shows Lightning, Tifa and Laguna engaged in conversation, presented with RPG-like dialogue boxes. Tifa says "Just like Vaan said, I get the feeling that they're increasing."

The "they" in Tifa's comment is in reference to the "Imitation," the name for the enemies you encounter roaming about the world map. When attacked by the enemy, or when you attack the enemy, you'll be transported to a battle map for combat.

Story mode planning director Shouta Shimoda shared a few additional details on the mode with Famitsu.

Shimoda describes the mode as being greatly advanced over the story mode found in the original Dissidia. Players will be able to experience a story while exploring the world, taking in new scenarios and events.

"The setting is 'a world that once had towns,' so there are no towns," explained Shimoda. However, there will be "special" shops. These are indicated by special markers on the map.

The story mode is party based. Your party will sometimes be set in advance as part of the scenario of the current chapter. Other chapters will allow you to freely set your party. Shimoda suggested picturing something like Final Fantasy VI.

More details on Duodecim will be coming shortly. Famitsu says that a new trailer to be shown at this weekend's Jump Festa will have new info. Additionally, Famitsu will have a big staff interview in next week's issue.

OTHER INFOThe KP listed on the new World Map screens stands for "Kupo Points" and it seems to be similiar to PP from the first game.

We know there will be treasures, but seems like they will include things like Accessories this time around.

Amusingly, Laguna is described as having a very sparkly EX-Mode, befitting the President. Additionally, the text will read "The Faeries Have Come!" (Faeries being Laguna's term for GF's.)

Also, Laguna will be played by Hiroaki Hirata... who is Balthier's seiyuu. Anime fans will most likely know him as either Sanji in One Piece or Sha Gojyo of Saiyuki. Game roles include Capt. Jack Sparrow in Kingdom Hearts II (he also often dubs Johnny Depp), and Allen Ridgely of Xenosaga

ETA: I can make out the dialogue in the scene with Laguna, Lightning, and Kain. Laguna is saying, "Ah, It's surprising to see you looking so unsure, Miss Lightning."

The scene with CoD floating away from Laguna is her basically threatening to kill all the Cosmos Warriors.

On the other scan (showing off his Alt Costume), I can't make out the full sentence, but in the screen of him and CoD, Laguna is noting that he can't seem to return to his original world. How much else he remembers from FFVIII is yet to be revealed....
