BOOOOOOOO where's my FF6 character love Square!?!?!?!?!?

Seriously who do I have to KILL to have Sabin, Shadow, Locke, Cain & Edgar make an appearance??!

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

Don't worry, I'm sure each game will get a sub character. FFX's Auron, XII's Balthier and VIII's Quistis would be great!

Anyone know if FFX-2 eternity: memory of lightwaves, made the cut as far as music in the game goes?

Nothing confirmed so far. Only what's in the news post above mate. Here's hoping FFX-2 music will make the cut though!

I agree except for Quistis (though I do think she's hotter compaired to Rinoa) but I think Rinoa would be more likely...or Selphie given her inclusion in the KH series.

Rinoa, and Selphie, are more likely, but Quistis was a pretty unique character in design. I guess the three FF8 girls are tbh, so it's up for grabs.

It didn't click right away to me, but the sub characters revealed so far are from the odd-numbered games. The even numbered games are yet to be revealed - FF2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.

Would be great if we got more than 1 sub character per game though. Nomura wanted Sazh in Dissidia, yet they've revealed Snow here. It's possible he'll still be in it, and with any luck, some other characters from other FFs too.

Japanese release date also announced: Feb 16th 2012.

FF4's will probably be Rosa or Rydia, FF6 Locke or Celes, and FFXII could pretty much be anyone (Ashe, Balthier, Fran etc.).

In the PSP Dissidia games, there is a ton of script and a lot of voice work. In Theatrhythm, there is no voice work, and probably a small script if anything, so that leaves a lot of room to add plenty of characters that require minimal effort. Compare the 2D chibi sprites in this game to that of the models in Dissidia and I think you can guess which is easier to make characters for :]

But, with any luck, we'll have an even larger selection of characters in the next Dissidia game, which is said to be a change from the PSP formula.
