Dissidia 012 : Final Fantasy 1st Production Department Premiere Trailer

Sorry for the long title but it is for us to differentiate it with the other trailers that surfaced earlier. Anyways, this is the latest trailer that was released yesterday on Square-Enix's 1st Production Department Conference in which we are revealed of a Final Fantasy XIII-2, XIII Agito renamed as Type-0, and more stuff regarding Dissidia 012!

In this trailer, alternate costumes of Jecht and Tidus where shown, Yuna is not anymore a feet, I mean, she is officially revealed. Prishe trolls some guy and yes, Gilgamesh is trolling Bartz at the Rift. So for ladies who are still dressing up as men, it's morphin' time! Also, at the near end of the trailer, a scene of Aerith assisting Cloud in Dissidia 012 Prologus: Final Fantasy was shown.

Gilgamesh (FFV) & Prishe (FFXI) Confirmed on Dissidia 012!

The wandering swordsman from FFV known for his Genji Equipment and his constant search of the sword called, Excalibur (which he end up getting an Excalipur), Gilgamesh is confirmed to be part of Chaos' side in Dissidia 012 [duodecim]: Final Fantasy and also, FFXI's Prishe will part of the roster!

His appearance was confirmed on the the trailer first seen on the first production press conference in which he popped out at the end of the trailer saying, "It's been a long time, Bartz." To those who don't know, in FFV (which I just observed my younger brother playing with), he had a heated rivalry with Bartz Klauser. The picture that is found on top of this page is his official artwork in which hackers discovered while hacking Dissidia 012 Prologus.

Aside from that, Prishe from FFXI is part of the roster as seen in the trailer. It is not sure which side she will be part off.

Dissidia 012 Prologus is a Paid Demo

Dissidia Duodecim [012] Prologus is a trademark that suddenly appeared. Many fans speculated that this might be a prologue to the events that will happen in Dissidia 012 while some speculate it as a paid demo of the game to get them hype with the finish product... and they are right. Yep, this game is a paid demo.

Square Enix formally announced it at their press event (which also confirms a FFXIII-2). It’s coming to PlayStation Network now and it exclusively adds Final Fantasy VII character Aerith/Aeris as an assist character! This demo will have an original short scenario and an arcade mode. You can get it for 300 yen or about $3.75. Take note, you must buy the game for you to play Aerith!

Special thanks to Siliconera!

Yuna Confirmed on Dissidia 012!

Her feet was hinted on the Jump Fiesta Trailer, and now, on the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, it is confirmed that Yuna will appear on Dissidia 012, and yup, she will summon monsters!

In the scan, she has the ability to control two Aeons (the name of the summoned monsters on FFX) at the same time. The magazine has a screenshot that shows Yuna controlling Shiva and Ixion for simultaneous attacks. She is also said to summon King Bahamut in the game.

Her EX Burst is somewhat translated to as, Sending Off to the Spirit World, this attack makes Yuna call all of her Aeons for a consecutive set of attacks!

Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy Jump Fiesta Trailer!

Here is the latest trailer coming from the Jump Fiesta of the upcoming sequel of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Dissidia Duodecim [012]: Final Fantasy!

In this latest trailer, we have seen the new Assist feature in which we saw Tifa and Cloud beat Sephy and Squall and his dad, Laguna fighting Ultimencia. Also, we have the glimpse of the classic world wandering that Final Fantasy is known for with Vaan (which is not voiced by Otoya *sad*) and Terra in one party. For FFX fans out there, there is a major surprise for you guys in the trailer!

Laguna Loire on Dissidia 012!

This is one surprising addition for Final Fantasy VIII fans. Most fans of the series expect either Rinoa or Seifer but we have Squall's bumbling yet lovable father, Laguna Loire as revealed in the latest scan of Jump!

He still carries his signature outfit from FFVIII and his signature weapon, a machine gun. According to the said scan, he will act as the big brother to the Warriors of Cosmos... not sure if he will act like a father to Squall! Anyways, this is the second time we have a father and son in Dissidia. The first was with FFX with Tidus and Jecht.

His EX Burst is called Full Salvo in which in this scan, he used it to fight against Ultimencia (pictured on the left). On your right, you see him use his machine gun to fight Ultimencia!

Now I am starting to wonder, when will Square-Enix add an additional character for Chaos' side? I demand Gilgamesh from FFV! One thing I noticed about Laguna, he kinda looks like a gender bend version of Tifa. Just remove the jacket, and give him gloves, he kinda looks like her. Now I understand Squall...

FFVI and FFXII Dissidia 012 Alternate Costume Galore!

On the first Alternate Costume Galore entry, we have FFIV and FFVII on the spotlight! On the latest scan, we have more costumes for FFVI and FFXII!

For FFVI, we have a better looking Amano Terra and Kefka! It seems that Terra wears a costume similar to Celes Chere from FFVI, which cause me to mistaken her as Celes in an earlier scan (Which all fans agree the contrast to Terra's element) and Kefka's costume is quite similar to his Amano alternate costume.

For FFXII, Gabranth wears Basch's first outfit in FFXII as well as a close look at Vaan's Amano. What's also cool is that if you look at the gameplay, you can see Vaan using a gun!

Kouhei Takeda - Not Vaan in Dissidia 012

Kouhei Takeda, aside from portraying Otoya Kurenai from Kamen Rider Kiva, he also lend his voice in Final Fantasy XII for the character, Vaan. With Vaan being announced to be part of the Dissidia 012 roster, most fans assume that Takeda will return to voice the said character, but we are dead wrong.

Accordingly, because of of conflicts with his agency, it prevented Takeda to record lines for Vaan. But because of high demand coming from fans to want him back to Dissidia 012, Nomura decided to include him and his voice actor was replaced by Kensha Ono (Toy Story 3, Harry Potter, Tsubasa Chronicle, Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces). 

Notably, Takeda mentioned in one of his older blog post something like this:

Hey, Square Enix-san. Is that work with Vaan going to appear? I’m waiting (lol)

Vaan Confirmed on Dissidia 012

After much speculation after Bobby Edner, Vaan's English voice actor in Final Fantasy XII that he recorded some lines for a new Final Fantasy game, it is confirmed, Vaan will indeed appear in Duodecim according to the latest issue of Shonen Jump.

Vaan would be the second character coming from FFXII to be included in the game. The first was Gabranth who was a secret character in the previous game along with Shantotto of FFXI. Based on the list of new characters, is it me, or Chaos' side lacks manpower? Come on, Squenix, add Gilgalmesh from FFV already!

 A blurred shot of him fighting.

Vaan performing his EX Burst!

Vaan meeting a girl... based on the color of the outfit, not sure if this is Terra. Since this is yellow, maybe this is... CELES! (Hyperventilates and later, calms down slowly till he waits for the actual confirmation)
