Name: Tidus
Game: Final Fantasy X
Japanese Voice Actor: Masakazu Morita
Biography:
Tidus is the son of Jecht and the star Blitzball player of the Zanarkand Abes. He witnessed his home city of Zanarkand be destroyed by Sin. Sin was able to transport Tidus 1000 years into the future where he meets Yuna, a summoner on a quest to destroy Sin with help of the Final Aeon and her guardians. Tidus then learns that Sin is Jecht and tries to find a way to free his father and save Yuna's life from summoning the Final Aeon and end a never-ending cycle.
He is carefree and sometimes does not think before he takes actions. He can sometimes act like a child and become too emotional in wanting things to go his way. Because of this, he often tries to find alternative ways to problems and scenarios; A predominant one being the conflict between himself and his father. Tidus only has one thing he wishes to do once he finds his father, and that is to tell him how much he hates him for how he was treated in his childhood and putting his mother through after Jecht disappeared.
Due to Tidus's love for Blitzball, he uses similar abilities he uses in Blitzball in battle. His Overdrive, 'Blitz Ace', is accessed as an Ex-Mode attack. He wields a broadsword, and can be quick on his feet, flexible and acrobatic.

Name: Jecht
Game: Final Fantasy X
Japanese Voice Actor: Masuo Amada
Biography:
Jecht is Tidus’ father, and the current Sin of FFX. He came from Yu Yevon’s summoned Zanarkand, and, with Braska and Auron, helped defeat the Sin of the time by becoming Braska’s Final Aeon. Once becoming Sin, he traveled to Zanarkand to see bring his son to Spira, so that Tidus could one day defeat him and end the cycle of death.
A very egotistical man, Jecht is a star Blitzball player and a former alcoholic. He’s rarely ever home, and when he is, he’s either insulting Tidus or taking all of his mother’s attention, setting Tidus against him. Training at sea one day, he encounters Sin and is transported to Spira. Upon arriving, he’s immediately locked up as a heretic, until Braska sets him free to serve as a guardian. As he travels with Braska and Auron, he sees that his chances of getting home are slim, and gradually accepts his fate, becoming the Fayth for Braska’s Final Aeon.
Jecht is brash, tending only to insult Tidus when he’s around. In truth, he doesn’t know how to be gentle with his son, and he thinks his criticisms will toughen him up. He gave up drinking after an incident with a shoopuf. He’s very one-track-minded, wanting only to return to Zanarand, though his travels make him realize that it isn’t possible.
Not much is known about his fighting style, except that he carries a large sword. As Braska’s Final Aeon, he uses primarily beam attacks. As a last resort, he can pull a larger version of his sword from his chest.

Name: Zidane Tribal
Game: Final Fantasy IX
Japanese Voice Actor: Romi Paku
Biography:
The leading male of Final Fantasy IX. Part of the infamous band of thieves, Tantalus, Zidane helped kidnap Princess Garnet by Regent Cid and later at Garnet’s request. Together with Garnet and others, they journeyed all over to stop Queen Brahne and later Kuja from destroying the world.
Zidane is carefree and altruistic, despite being an orphan. He often annoys some of the serious characters by his playful disposition, but they eventually warm up to him. Zidane always puts others ahead of himself and is reflected in his quote, "You don’t need a reason to help people." Towards the end of the game, it is revealed that Zidane is a Genome from the planet Terra. He was created to destroy Gaia so that Terra would assimilate it and use the souls for the Genomes. Kuja, the first Genome created to be Gaia’s "Angel of Death," threw Zidane into Gaia before he could replace him.
A skirt chaser by nature, Zidane flirts with any pretty face that walks by, including Princess Garnet, who he repeatedly tries to get a kiss and/or a date from. However, later in the game this all changes when Zidane discovers that he truly loves Garnet.
Zidane wields two daggers, sometimes fused together as one, as his weapon. He uses a variety of techniques that involve thievery and hoodwinking the enemy. For every technique he masters, a new ability in his Trance, Dyne, is added, each being successively more powerful than the previous one.

Name: Kuja
Game: Final Fantasy IX
Japanese Voice Actor: Akira Ishida
Biography:
Kuja is the main antagonist of FFIX, first appearing as a weapon provider for Queen Brahne, namely her army of black mages. He later kills her and tries to overthrow Garland. He later tries to destroy all life by breaking the Crystal by absorbing all the souls he collected on Gaia.
Being the first of Garland's Genomes with a soul, Kuja was created to destabilize Gaia so that it could be assimilated into Terra. First acting through Brahne to incite war and collect as many souls as possible, he then kills her and openly turns against his own creator. Upon learning that he would only live until Zidane became more powerful than he, he killed Garland, destroyed Terra, and tried to destroy the crystal at the center of all existence.
Kuja prefers manipulation to outright fighting, having persuaded Brahne to war with the other countries on the Mist Continent. He operates under the belief that he is immortal; upon finding out that Zidane would be his successor in his death broke his illusions. He rejects his own identity, hiding his tail within his clothes, though it appears in his Trance form.
Kuja prefers to attack with magic rather than physically, wielding higher level spells. He also calls on his silver dragon to attack. In his Trance form, his appearance changes to a more feathery one, his tail no longer hidden. He also uses still yet more powerful magic, including Ultima.

Name: Squall Leonhart
Game: Final Fantasy VIII
Japanese Voice Actor: Hideo Ishikawa
http://gaia.dissidia.googlepages.com/th-ultimecia.pnghttp://gaia.dissidia.googlepages.com/sq-ultimecia.png
Name: Ultimecia
Game: Final Fantasy VIII
Japanese Voice Actor: Atsuko Tanaka
Biography:
Ultimecia is the main antagonist of VIII, although her existence is not revealed until later in the game. A sorceress from the future, she sought to achieve Time Compression, in which only she would exist in a single point of time. Using a machine based on Ellone’s powers, she projected her consciousness into Edea, using her to get to Ellone so she could project herself further into the past.
Using Edea, Ultimecia sets herself up as first as Ambassador of Galbadia, then dictator after killing the current president. Using her position, she tries to destroy Balamb Garden and SeeD, but fails and is forced to possess Rinoa until she can get to Ellone. While she attempts to use Adell, a sorceress entombed in space, Squall plots to use Ellone to send her and Rinoa into the past just enough to start Time Compression. The plan works, and Ultimecia’s castle is revealed in the future.
Being from Squall’s future, little is known about her. Through Time Compression, she passes her powers onto Edea, thus setting the stage for SeeD’s creation and possibly fueling her hatred of it. She is very convincing (maybe even magically enhanced), using only her words to persuade Seifer into becoming her Knight.
Ultimecia is a sorceress, specializing in spatial magics. Since she is the last sorceress, she has all the powers of every sorceress ever alive. She also has the power to create and destroy magic. Griever is her Guardian Force, derived from Squall's Ring. She can junction herself to her GF, making it and herself more powerful.

http://gaia.dissidia.googlepages.com/th-warrioroflight.pnghttp://gaia.dissidia.googlepages.com/sq-warrioroflight.png
Name: Warrior of Light
Game: Final Fantasy I
Japanese Voice Actor: Seki Toshihiko
Biography:
Warrior of Light was the first ever hero in the series' history. Chosen by the player to be in one of six classes, the four Warriors of Light, after appearing on an island somehow and meeting with the king, ventured forth into the wide world to defeat Garland in hopes of rescuing Princess Sara. The king recognized them by the crystals that hung around their necks - crystals that symbolized balance and peace - the sign that the great sage Lukahn said to watch for.
The story didn't end with the heroes rescuing the princess. After crossing the newly built bridge onto the main continent, the warriors found out that there were all sorts of problems from pirates pillaging a coastal town, to the dark elves trying to overthrow the prince of the Elf Village, and those crystals which held were supposed balance seemed rather dim. Committed to restoring the light, by the end of this adventure these four brave souls ended up defeating Garland's true self in the past, known as Chaos, and his four elemental fiends.
The player named these would-be heroes, assigned them classes, and it was in the imagination of the player to create personalities for their in game persona. These Warriors range from a black mage, white mage, warrior, thief, black belt, and red mage; adding few customizing features as well as re-playability.
The Warrior of Light's role in Dissidia is currently unknown. Many speculate that this character is a combination of all the warriors of light from Final Fantasy I, providing a wide array of spells, abilities, and weaponry.
http://gaia.dissidia.googlepages.com/th-garland.pnghttp://gaia.dissidia.googlepages.com/sq-garland.png
Name: Garland
Game: Final Fantasy I
Japanese Voice Actor: Kenji Utsumi
Biography:
Garland was very unique in his ability to create a time loop. A fragile version of his true self, Chaos, made his way into the court of the king and slowly gained trust. Eventually, Garland kidnapped Princess Sara and took her lute, an item that was passed down through the line of Cornerian Princesses. This lute is also what unlocks the passage in the past version of Garland's palace, and to seal the time loop. It had to remain in Garland's hands for his own protection.
Garland was known to be extremely crafty, but that's really what he had become 2000 years after his debut as Chaos. Easily, this fragile version of himself was defeated by the great Warriors of Light, and Sara returned to her castle at the beginning of the adventure, gaining the prized lute in the process. But he knew that to do things right, he had to have subordinates, the four fiends of the elements: Kary (Marilith), Lich, Kraken, and Tiamat. They blocked off the power of their corresponding crystals, which eventually netted them a tour through the afterlife, as the Warriors proceeded to restore the crystals to create the balance is obtained.
Regardless of being one of the brighter villains in Final Fantasy, he could have ironed out his plan before kidnapping Princess Sara. Many of the troubles the warriors encounter through the story had nothing to do with Garland's plight at all. He did not steal the fairy from the lake, he did not have the pirates working for him, and the dark elf Astos really did not care about the balance of light and dark. His infamous line, "I, Garland, shall knock you all down!", could be a descriptor in this new role in Dissidia.
Not much is known about how Garland is involved in Dissidia at this time.
