If the article proves to be accurate, then I'll consent to underestimating this project's ingenuity.

*fangirl squeals over artwork*

YAY! Woo! *grabs someone and dances around*

Terra is so.... pretty. I'm jealous. '>>

Ahem, excuse me. I have a liking for the character artwork in Dissidia. Now that Sephiroth FINALLY had his released and he's been running around since Day 1.

*sees Cloud* Massive Joygasm! burning_eyes

Aww...so much good news today!
Cloud is perfect!
As for Terra, I would have prefered green hair but this is fine. heart

FF Wikia just updated on it.

Woo!

Now people can stop asking me "Where's Cloud?!"

Some bad. Poking around the buzz, it seems that Terra ended up blonde.

But Cloud retains his "classic look" - did he get the hedgehog or the loon though?

http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/news/dissidia-cloud-terra-first-images--26.html

It would seem the original FF7 hedgehog. Cloud art, Terra art, and a game shot of Terra and Mateus.

Well considering Terra IS blonde. I think I'm happy with it. - nods-

Hey, I don't know if anyone found this, I found the 'Dissidia Heroes' Poster.

I have amazing prediction skills and apparently i can read fighting games well cuz they announced Bartz was a cross betweena Blue Mage and a Mime and could use all the characters moves. u dont believe me?

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Bartz_Klauser

read the section on dissidia at the bottom. *applauds my genius* lmao jk im not that concieted. But im really happy i was rite TAKE THAT TONBERRY

Actually, I would hope that you are wrong; because if you happen to be right, we might see a FF5 Blue Mage that has learned a canonically Black Magic spell - this flatly violates the definition of Blue Mage as laid out in FF5, as a caster that learns special enemy attacks rather than normal mages' magic. (If they wanted to show him as a blue mage, why not use Garland's Jishin instead?)

(The technique of learning blue magic is slightly variable - but the nature of blue magic is consistent. FFT is a partial exception, in that summoners can learn many spells through being affected by them, and must learn Zodiac this way; black mages can learn the -ja elementals in the blue magic style; and Ultima must also be experienced while in the proper class, to be learned at all.)

If I had a better scan, I could tell you what the text actually says. What I have so far is:

? o ?-tta ? ? ? wa mochiron
mahou datte ? te no mono! Onion
Knight no ? de aru "Flare" mo,
Bartz wa ? ? ni tsukai konaseru zo!!

In short, if Bartz DID learn Flare as a blue mage, bad form.

About the hero's poster, why is terra sitting on a cloud while the guys look like they're ready to fight?

[Clouds_Lover]

Holy crap, the artwork looks amazing!

Terra: she's beautiful! I was actually hoping to see some kind of green hair but either way she's amazing. I love the child-like features of her face!
Kefka: o_o okay that art scares me but its sooooo good! That crazy psycho grin, perfect.

Cloud/Sephi: *drools over Cloud* I'm not CL for nothin! lol Anyway, I love the fact that they went back to the more classic feel, it fits Cloud so well and his eyes, like Tonberry said, totally stand out. I was starting to miss those eyes and their glow, now its back! Hurray! And Sephiroth just looks bad a**, his cocky grin in that pic is just stunning.

I'm so psyched for Dissidia, can't wait to learn more about it. *squeals* Now to scrounge up money for a PSP!

[Minak0]

I hope Exdeath actually has a move involving the Void. That would rock. Man, I miss it. Be nice if they have everyone's themes too. Exdeath's was badass.

[G01]

I looked at PsPFanboy's review of Dissidia and I'm quite a bit surprised on the two characters. They say that Tidus was more comfortable to play with than Squall. Tidus was swift and his attacks were easy to chain. Squall on the other hand was awkward to play with since his swings were slow and his attacks were linked together awkwardly. Now don't get me wrong, but isn't squall suppose to be the combo master? I was kinda surprised that squall would get that sort of description, I personally thought Cloud would get that kind of description about him, but I guess not.

[Hypi]

i love that lonely, forlorn expression Terra has. beautiful. and a striking contrast to the overbearing ugliness of Kefka's clown smirk.

[Anorhc]

I won't be making any image updates for characters until they are released on the Dissidia website, because I could grab high-resolution images from the site itself than what these links have to offer. xP

[Anorhc]

Also, I'm offering 2k in gold for each character that gets a written summary by any of you guys. Please read the character summaries on the first page written by Lolita Doll and Ran-Chan to get an idea of what I am looking for.

I expect those who are writing about the character to be experts about researching, and not be bias. I will be making corrections when necessary, and if I think the summaries are no good, I will deny it all together. This is not a first come, first serve basis. Whoever writes the better summary will get 2k (maybe even more if you amaze me). Fair enough?


All of the characters are available except for:

Garland
Warrior of Light
Zidane


Deadline: October 16th, 2008.
