Judge Set to Appear in Dissidia

A little while back, Square Enix hinted that Final Fantasy XII fans would have something big to look forward to with Final Fantasy: Dissidia. Today, the big surprise came to light: a Judge character -- possibly Gabranth -- will be appearing in the fighter!

This wasn't an official announcement by Square Enix. As promised in a recent developer interview, Dissidia saw its final trailer aired on Japanese television late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. While the trailer was mostly recycled footage, a five second clip at the end showed the Judge character in conversation with Cosmos and Shantotto.

Dissidia hits Japanese retail on the 18th.

I always did like the Judges from Final Fantasy XII, but I want to know if Zack is going to be in Dissidia, or some other hero from Final Fantasy VII besides Cloud. Oh well, I guess it's just a pipe dream since they'll probably only include one character per game.



This is the entire cast of Dissidia so for as confirmed by Final Fantasy Wikia excluding Judge Gabranth, who is confirmed and featured here.

Chances are since Gabranth is in it, Basch will be in it as the hero of Final Fantasy XII.

thanks for posting that Hasshoudou. anyways I think this game will be just a test, and if it is a success (which it will be) then I'm sure they will move it to PS2/3 and load it up with characters from each game.

Holy shit, nice list Hasshoudou.

I do tend to do things like this when I have a lot of free time on my hands.

Some of the links go to pictures for Warrior of Light, Garland and Onion Knight because the links to their articles didn't work properly with the [url] BB Code.

you must have a lot of free time then because it would take some time making up that list.

OH YEAH ZIDANE!!!!!! I love him can't wait to play this game but the dude next to Zidane on the chart looks alot like Sora

In all honesty, it took me maybe ten to fifteen minutes. It wasn't that much time spent on it when I do some really crazy and detailed shit.

I found some more info.

Square Enix's massive fighter pulls characters from across the long-standing franchise and pits them together in a world riddled with strife. As incredible as the game sounded, we previously had no word on whether the potential PSP hit would come stateside. All that changed today, however, as Square Enix has confirmed that Dissidia Final Fantasy will see a U.S. release mid next year.

The press release moves on to confirm a few facts Final Fantasy enthusiasts might be curious about. The story of Dissidia is a classic one. Cosmos, the goddess of harmony, is in an ageless struggle against Chaos, the god of discord. The two deities summon warriors from across time and space in order to engage in this conflict of light and dark. Surprisingly, the forces of Chaos are about to win, having gathered a virtually inexhaustible force. The game will be set against this unbalanced tide.

Square Enix also confirms several game modes that will be found in Dissidia, including Legacy mode (presumably the game's main story) and Fantasy match. There will also be similar community-oriented features in the U.S. release that can be found in the Japanese release. With all this and more, Dissidia looks to be one of the most promising titles for 2009.

see the list of characters here

I already have the entire list of characters up there, so yeah, that post was kind of irrelevant when including the list of characters.

YES! THE JUDGE IS IN! He's all I cared about. Nice list Hasshoudou.
