What I mean is that I won’t mind if there are a ton of FF7,8,9,10,12 characters (that’s an inevitability). I just don’t want that to mean there won’t be many characters from the early games because of that.
I second that. Cecil (either Dark Knight and Pally as separate, or switchable a la Shiek/Zelda in SSBM), a smattering of FF1 classes, half the cast of FF6 … [STRIKE]Cid, Cid, Cid, and Cid …[/STRIKE]
EDIT: Shit. I just realized … ironically, this is probably the closest thing Quina will get to that monstrosity of an idea he had (at least during the first part before he started changing his ideas to less and less sensible things) …
Chupon and Ultros are must-haves. Chupon is required to scream “Fungaaaahhhh!” when executing at least one of his moves.
This probably would have been better off being formed under the Favorite FF Character thread. But since I’m here anyway…

I couldn’t settle on 20 so I went to 40. 
Although it does seem a little foolhardy to start speculating on SSBM like appearances for a game you know almost nothing about.
The difference is that Quina isn’t making it, Squeenix is. 8p It’s a BIG difference. Nintendo started the idea with Smash Brothers, and really, the idea makes a ton of sense. This is the REAL way you should reward fans, not with half-baked remakes and ports.
Terra and Cecil for sure. A Setzer cameo. FF1 ‘characters’ and chupon/ultros seconded.
Too bad there probably won’t be Romancing Saga chars. I call for a minigame where you can beat “the Boy”.
Kefka!:mwahaha: There’ll probably be some CT characters and Aya Bree.
If we add Enix three names: The fish from EVO, Ark, Marina Liteyears . And Atrus from Myst/Riven (riiight).
I want the entire cast of FF6. Yes, even the Yeti! Plus FF4’s. Especially Palom and Porom. Wonder Twin Powers- ACTIVATE!! 
If they use FFI characters, the fighter better be rockin the sword-chucks, and the Black Mage better be evil as fuck. \m/
A hahaha, that’s so true! \m/
But anyway, I’d definitely like to see some FF9 characters, ooh and some FF6 would be great too. Double ooh, wouldn’t that be cazy if they had FF11 characters in it… like an Elvaan Dragoon or Galka Paladin, for example? I dunno, I’ve just been in an FF11 phase lately.
How could I (or anyone else for that matter) forget about the one character that should, nay, must make an appearance…Gilgamesh.
This game just wouldn’t be worth it without him.
I don’t know why it took me so long to remember. I feel so much shame right now. ;_;
Editor’s Edit: Now that I’ve actually seen what this game looks like all I can say is WHOA!!
Anyway from what I saw it didn’t look like the frenzy that is Smash Bros what with only two characters at a time, but it looks like it can still win in its own way if done right. And having FF1’s Fighter verses Lich looks to be the start of something epic. In fact if the main concept of the game is one-on-one duels with characters from the FF series, perhaps, to reenact certant battles once fought in a more conventional turn based affair into a less predictable, off the wall, melee, then, I really could see the awesome potential of this game. If indeed this is the case then the fight I would consider the most FTW would be…
Bartz vs. Gilgamesh
Other fights I would consider being full of either Win and/or Own would be…
Galuf vs. Exdeath
Terra vs. Ultros, Chupon, (or anyone else)
Leo vs. Kefka
Cecil vs. Cecil
Cecil vs. Kain
Edge vs. Rubicant
Ramza vs. Wiegraf
and maybe Ashe vs. one of the Judges (or Vossler)
Btw, I figured out that the two characters in the title banner are Princess Sara and Chaos from FF1.
Aeris vs Sephiroth II: Aeris’ Revenge.
Aeris vs Sephiroth II: Second Time Down The Drain.
edit:Light warriors, great! I don’t think Fighter will have swordchucks but each must have an ORB.
But what if the Orbs get stolen by The Gullwings?
Ooh, I love crossovers. What system is this coming out for, again?
PSP, bah. Y’know, between this and some other things, I might try getting a PSP as well …
From what I heard,the Knight in the previews of Dissidia is Garland.The other people that I heard that were comfirmed were:Cecil,Kain,Zidane,Sephiroth,and maybe Lenneth from VP.
Well Sephiroth is a given, Since He’s practically their fucking mascot. You got fat pimply 14 year old girls to thank for that one.
I doubt Lenneth would get in there… it does say “Final Fantasy” on it, so not sure other Squeenix characters would be in it.
But we’re forgetting all the Summons! Seriously, who wouldn’t want to kick ass with Shiva or Ifrit or Bahamut?

Along with any boy who’s a) too old for Teletubbies, b) too young for any FPS that isn’t Halo, c) doomed to spend the rest of his life suffering from Low-IQ-Scoreidis and will remain locked away in his parents’ basement until society finds and takes him in, or d) some kind combination of the above.

Gilgamesh is a summon, and if the makers of those FF summons figurines are to be believed then there’s Kefka as well. Also thanks to FFXII Chaos and Exdeath can be considered Summons too. But yes they really should have more summons (Unless they’re being saved as special attacks for certain characters. Which would suck because I want to fight as Gilgamesh against Bartz, Galuf, and Exdeath not have him summoned by Squall. >_<)
What I Expect.
- General FF
- Gilgamesh (FFXII style)
- Chocobos (FFU style)
- Moogles (Revenant Wings Style)
- FF6
- Setzer
- FF7 series
- Vincent
- Tifa
- Yuffie
- Zack
- Genesis
- FF8
- Squall
- Seifer
- FFX/FFX2
- Tidus
- Auron
- Yuna
- Rikku
- Paine
- Ivalice series
- Balthier
- Fran
- Luso
- Marche
- Ramza
- Judges
- Final Fantasy Unlimited
- Kaze
- Makenshi
- Lisa
- Cid
I expect the Summons to be like the Pokemon from the Super Smash Bros. games.
I expect that half of those won’t happen. FFU in particular has never really been popular in the FF fanbase. Also, just because Setzer is the only FF6 character to appear in a Nomura game doesn’t mean he’s the only one Nomura will ever deal with.
I expect there’ll be more of a range of main characters and villains from the various numbered FFs with possibly one or two thrown in from Tactics. FF1’s Fighter and FF9’s Zidane and Kuja have already been confirmed.
