Jinra321

@Elrinth:
Kefka's in. he looks like a clown...thing. reminds me of what the Joker would be like if he was Japanese

Badassiousness

yeah me too would want Locke as playable char. Locke and Cefca ;)

Elrinth

is Quina Quen from 9 in there?? or Cait Sith? god i want to beat the hell outta Cait sith.

Badassiousness

@WittyUserName: There's no way I can un-fanboy that post. Oh, the shame...

WittyUserName

Cecil! Awesome! Final Fantasy IV was one of the more awesome games on the SNES. I played it a bunch of times.

WittyUserName

Give us LOCKE! Please!

I know he's not the typical armor-clad hero, but he's my favorite character from any Final Fantasy.

phinehas

It's nice to see some FFIV representation. After having just recently played the DS remake it rekindled my love of that Final Fantasy and reminded me even more so why it's my favorite of the SNES generation.

Zyzex_Remix

As much as I'd like Locke/Lock, it's definitely going to be Tina/Terra. Females are already under represented and there's no denying she was the main character for most of the game. The other logical choice would be Celes. I'm okay with either one, really. Actually, I'd prefer Celes, she was more of a fighter than Terra was.

Also, Aerith instead of Cloud. Please, please please. I don't want any more Cloud fanboys.

Revenge_of_Nekojin

They should have Cid... but as a giant anamorphic blob.

Thief

@phinehas: YES. Locke needs to be in this game. Done. End of story.

@Revenge_of_Nekojin: and I believe that's the top half of a really really big sword.

Superlocke

@Revenge_of_Nekojin: Because once he turns paladin, you can equip him with one. I'm not saying it makes sense (Kain is FFIV's dragoon, not Cecil), but it's a possibility.
I was hoping for Rydia - nothing personal against Cecil, but Dissidia lacks ladies.

Now chant with me: Te-rra! Ce-les! Te-rra! Ce-les!

Antiterra

@Jinra321:
Because the real Final Fantasy 3 didn't have named characters. They aren't trying to claim that the DS one is canon apparently.

DimensionWarped

Oh, and...why does Cecil have a spear?

Revenge_of_Nekojin

For people who don't know, the game is featuring one hero and one villain from FF1-10, with a possibility of secret characters. No secret characters have been confirmed, as in they might not even exist. The heroes for FF5, FF6, and FF7 have not been revealed yet. I BELIEVE that there are two villains left to be revealed as well.

Revenge_of_Nekojin

@Antiterra: Huh, forget what I said, I got confused... It's the other way round - Kain can equip some swords and axes, but yeah, paladin Cecil can only use swords, so you're right: strange picture makes no sense.

Antiterra

The scan is pretty blurry, so it's hard to read but it's pretty neat that you can have Cecil change into either of his jobs (Paladin or Dark Knight). Can't tell how you change though. A transform button maybe?

angelus-errare

Hopefully Gilgamesh will make a cameo at very least (maybe a hidden character). As for FFV, none of the characters seemed to leave a lasting impression, making it a relatively "meh" title between IV and VI... Who knows, Galuf and X-Death anyone????

jmsalal

This was already revealed in trailers guys. I wonder why they even bothered announcing.

surft

Oh please,like that would be a big suprise.
Give us some of the questionable title characters already.
Boils all down to FF6 anyway heh.

Chibirazi

I was expecting that it would be Cecil and Golbez, so I'm definitely happy with this news. Now, I just wish they would announce FFVI's hero (why does it have to be just *one*? Tina/Terra, Celes, or Locke would all be beautiful choices, but the best would be all of them :D)

Kenjiblade

ok now where the hell is KAIN FTW!!!!

thabookiemonster

Dark Knight version for the WIN.

EvilMetsFan

Cecil's last name was Harvey? I loved FFIV but don't remember hearing that...

FightingChance

I second all the people who say that Celes should be the FFVI hero! XD She didn't have the clinginess that Terra had. (Something that Square loves...)

armless-phelan

you could put half of the ff6/7 lineup in this game and still not make the fanboys happy.

With that said.. knock on wood

huginn

Gah, I already knew about this...Golbez was on the poster, who else were they gonna pick? Now tell us who's wailing on Kefka, Square!

@WittyUserName: Don't feel bad, FFIV rocks. It's hard not to turn on the fanboy.

Rebochan

No, it's always been Cecil Harvey.

Revenge_of_Nekojin

Yeah... Cecil Harvey? They must have retroactively assigned him a last name.

cheez

I think Cloud's a lock. If you've got Sephiroth, then you've got to have his angsty, Buster-Sworded foil.

LinkedtothePast

SETZER! ALL OF YOU!!!! IT'S ABOUT SETZER! Why not? Dude had an airship, and he was one of the best character designs Amano ever did.

Human Bomb Committed Solaricide

Maybe Lightning and the Versus 13 protagonist will make it in. They should have at least one female protagonist in the game (squall, tidus, and cloud don't count).

Ryodestined

I always wondered why Cecil has a spear-pole-lance-thingy in concept art, yet uses a sword and shield in-game...

Two things I'm wondering:

1) FFVI needs Terra (Esper Terra Vs Angel Kefka fight) or Celes (Kinda your norm for a fighter) as the hero.

2) How is Cid going to be in this game? There's almost no point in playing a Final Fantasy game without a Cid X(

NeonLight

@phinehas: @Superlocke:
I'm with you guys on hoping Locke makes the cast. Best FF character ever made.

Eviscerate

@LinkedtothePast:
except we already have Squall. Tifa would make for a good brawler addition. Too many sword users. Also Cloud gets too much spotlight. :P Though seeing both is a possibility with 3 characters left to be revealed with two FF games lacking protagonist representation if I'm not mistaken.

for FF6, it'd be awesome if it was Mog. xD

zerosN1s

Its going to be Bartz from FF5, Terra from FF6, and Cloud from FF7, why are so many people denying this? Every game has picked the main character and Bartz and Cloud are def. the main characters in FF5 and FF7. You could argue that FF6 has no main character, but most of the first have of the game revolves around Terra and her conection to the Espers.

BassForever

@BassForever: Yes, you're correct. And Tina is the obvious choice anyway, because she can transform into her Esper form for her EX-Mode.

Suzaku

@Kenjiblade: It's his EX-Mode. All characters have them.

@cheez: If by "retroactively" you mean well before the game was even released, then yes. He's always been named Cecil Harvey.

@surft: Actually, no. Only their silhouettes were shown, and only briefly. Hence the official announcement with art, gameplay information, and in-game screenshots.

Tina's already basically confirmed, judging from the things Cefca says in the previous trailer.

Suzaku

if cloud doesn't make it in this game then it's because he's going to shine in the final fantasy 7 remake for ps3.

~wakes up~
huh? did i say something?

shichi

/fangirlsqueal

SabinDeus

I'm definitely for having Terra or Celes in this, but they need to have Ummaro as one of the hidden characters.

cholinms

@Badassiousness: Yes Im not the only one who wants Quina in there.

shrek187

Harvey is such an odd last name for an FF character...

em

@em: And Cecil is just as bad a first name.

Iarwain

@Iarwain: Don't tell the British.

WittyUserName

Terra. Terra. Terra. Terra. Terra. Terra. Terra. Terra. Please? There aren't any playable female good guys yet.

Placentasaurus

Also, Steiner, Vivi, Auron, freaking RAMZA and DELITA, General Beatrix, Zorn and Thorn, Locke, Tifa, MOG, and adult Rydia should all be in the game. Even if it just had Ramza and Delita out of those, I would have a massive nerdgasm. It would probably destroy the northern hemisphere.

Placentasaurus

@FightingChance: I was about to type the exact same thing.

Cecil Harvey. He seems less spectacular somehow.

Danarcho

I'm absolutely stoked for this game, but GOD there are a lot of villains in huge sets of armor now.

Garland, Golbez, X-Death....Okay, that is only three........but I'm trying to make a point here! Proportional to the list of characters, that is a lot.

Lord Thayer

@Placentasaurus: Gotta agree about Final Fantasy Tactics characters, although Delita really isn't a villain. It would have to be Ramza and St. Ajora or Dycedarg/Zodiac Brave/Gaffgarion/Wiegraf

FF6 has to be Terra, I am calling that right now. Since all of the characters have powered up modes, obviously this makes her the best choice as A) she is female, and they need more and B) she already has a powered up mode.

Also, while I'm remembering it, why no FF 12 love? Preferably Balthier vs. Vayne Solidor. Gotta have some ranged character love!

Lord Thayer

Because FFXII... kind of sucks?

Akisazame

Locke won't make it in because the game already has a thief.

The DK/Paladin switch sounds very cool. My personal feeling is that they should have had Kain instead. But oh well.

And the fanboy in me predicts Faris, Tina and Tifa to be revealed. :D

Furysetzer

They'll probably throw Terra/Tina in to compliment Kefka. She's as close to a main character as VI can get. Plus she does have the female representative thing on her side.

No complaints she's a beautiful character.
