Several new details have emerged regarding Square Enix's upcoming Dissidia: Final Fantasy title for the Sony PSP, by way of three new scans from Famitsu magazine. The publication's coverage for this week also included in-battle screenshots, which should give us a clue of how Dissidia's all-star cast can be expected to duke it out in the field of combat.

One of the scans also contained an interview with Square's Tetsuya Nomura, who provided the fans with some extra details regarding the game. Here are some of the interview's highlights (translation via Forever Fantasy):
  • Max character level is 100.
  • Each character has a unique skill.
  • During the battle you'll be able to pick up treasure chests.
  • Nomura said there won't be more than 20 characters, but stated there might be surprises. We are guessing there will be secret unlockable characters.
  • The game will have Gil and AP, however their use is a secret for now.
  • Game is 50% complete, they are done with the characters.
Well, here's to hoping that the dev team won't run into any more complications that might delay Dissidia's progress (like last year). We've posted copies of the Famitsu coverage below. Drop by again in case we receive any further details regarding this matter.

» Alright!!!

I can't wait for it to come out!

Is there a confirmed list of characters for the game yet?

» not yet

list is complete, doesn't seem like the full roster is listed though, there is 10 in the screen (6 i can make out), and sephiroth is not there, we probably have to add cloud, maybe ultimecia, kefka, and a few others. i wonder who the secret characters will be, can't wait

"Nomura said there won't be more than 20 characters, but stated there might be surprises. We are guessing there will be secret unlockable characters."



Wish we could get more clarification on this. When Nomura said no more than 20 characters.. does that mean in total? or does that mean no more than 20 characters to begin with as default?



I'm also wondering about that whole "there might be surprises" in the interview. Quite possibly, we'll be seeing more than just 20 familiar characters, with the others being non-playable. Or cameos. Or... maybe like assist trophies in Brawl?



But from what it seems like... There are two characters taken from each game: a hero and a villain (squall-ultimecia, zidane-kuja, tidus-jecht, etc). So.. doing the math, if there are "20 characters", then that means they'll be taking from 10 games.



The five games that are already accounted for in the scans are FF, FFII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX. What about the rest? More importantly... where's FF6 and FF7? Will they include FF12? o_0

» ZACK FAIR!!!!

omg lol the only way i'm gettin this game is if Zack Fair is in it. He was the overall best FF character.

» maybe unlockable...

if there are unlockables. since Sephiroth is in the game, they'll probably add Cloud. i don't know the story yet but i hope it's not emo "i can't save anyone" cloud.
