Whoa. Easy there, Tidus. Have a cookie. No one's getting confirmed just yet, but as Dissidia: Final Fantasy senior director Ken Arakawa reveals, we'll finally learn who gets to fill in the missing items in Dissidia's roster - namely, the good guys from FFV, FFVI, and FFVII - during the Tokyo Game Show this weekend.

In an interview with Japanese publication Nikkei, Square Enix's Arakawa summed up pretty much everything we already know about the game: its battle system, character customizations, gameplay, the works. But what's new today is that he said Dissidia will be heading to the TGS with a demo that includes six playable characters.

When asked about the characters in the game, Arakawa explained that the full roster was already decided right from the start. And yes, they took characters from FFI to FFX only, and nothing after.

As a recap (I've lost count of how many times I've done this already...), here are the list of characters which have already been confirmed:

• FF: Warrior of Light - Garland
• FFII: Firion - Emperor Palamecia
• FFIII: Onion Knight - Cloud of Darkness
  
• FFIV: Cecil Harvey - Golbez
  
• FFV: ??? - Exdeath
  
• FFVI: ??? - Kefka
  
• FFVII: ??? - Sephiroth
  
• FFVIII: Squall Leonheart - Ultimecia
• FFIX: Zidane Tribal - Kuja
• FFX: Tidus - Jecht

Chances are, the heroes for FFV to FFVII would be Bartz, Terra, and Cloud, however, it's possible we could also see the likes of Celes (FF6) or Zack (FF7, Crisis Core) in the final roster. If any of you wanna do some speculating, this is you last chance before we get confirmation! (I know I'm still holding out for my 100% bunk wishlist: Ultros, Lenneth, Aya Brea, Chu-chu... etc. What about you?)

I want Zack instead because I dont want another blond character in the game other than Tidus and Zidane...though it will most likely be Cloud because many people think hes cool(I dont; Squall and Zack are better because they have dark hair and not blond)

if the FF VII spot isnt for cloud, that wouldnt make sense. theyre only including the main characters right? i would be so sad if it wasnt cloud =.= who cares if hes blonde.

All the characters in FFVI are great!! I am personally hoping for Celes or Locke. (or "Lock" if you wanna be technical)

As for VII, I think Cloud or Zack would be fine, as long as we get the Buster Sword :)
