They might be talking about the slight change in facial proportions.
Still, I don't think they should have been expected to be 1:1 with CGI from 1999; and the Dissidia model is a perfectly fine updated rendition of the design.

^ it's not just the facial design though it is a huge difference.
Not only that but it's also his awful clothing changes in dissidia I dislike. The extra hideous belts when he just had two originally crossing over each other, the pants suddenly becoming tight when they were baggy, the V neck design and useless feather belt cape they added in. They were supposed to use his Amano design yet blurred it together with his VIII and it just looks messy.
Yeah but Squall was 17 and trained at a military school. It's perfectly reasonable that he would be buff.

I think the WoL looks cool when he's not wearing a helmet.

Don't they do at least one villain from each game too?
Has a FFT villain showed up yet?
Or XI for the matter...
Wonder if they'll add you know who from 15.

I would laugh. My freaking head off. If they announce
as Noctis's villain in Dissidia.

The new UI is better, but it's still way too big and cluttered.

All of this! Really dislike Squall's Dissidia design and I hate that it seems to be the standard now in other games aswell. Gonna be SeeD uniform all day every day for me.
The king has arrived
That holy trinity of cloud Squall and Noctis whew.
I'm a Cloud, Tidus, Noctis girl myself, but yeah, it's so awesome to see him finally join the cast, hanging out with the greats.
I know, but he somehow can in Dissidia.

Yeah, lineup is looking pretty good. I want Tifa for release but she seems dlc bait.
What was the last mmo you played, 2005 WoW?
Also Hell Yes to the slight UI improvements.

Noct, Zidane, and Ysh for me. As long as my team ain't dumb, nobody will be able to tell me SHIT
The combat system has to account for a cast variety that goes from "guy that hits thing with sword" to "near-omnipotent demi-god" - part of the compromise is that everyone dashes to the point it's pretty much flight.
I like Y'shtola, and from what I've experienced of XIV's story, she's at least a consistent presence in the story even after you're done with the nation-specific parts - that's more than what can be said about Shantotto...
For what it's worth, IIRC both Yda and Thancred are in Dissidia Opera Omnia, so I guess they're part of the shortlist of potential candidates for the future.
Even in Dissidia Duodecim XI had two characters that were counted as heros, Shantotto and Prishe - but frankly, Shantotto can go either way. Tactics has only Ramza so far, and can count itself lucky for being featured, considered it's not one of the mainline games.
IIRC, NT stands for New Tale.
Speaking of story, the story in the trailer sounds a lot like the endgame of the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel story in XI - only conflict can keep the threat of the Void at bay, only in this iteration of Dissidia that involves kidnapping people to do the fighting, instead of relying on hypothetical natives.

Not even the overworld? That's...disappointing.
I'd buy a massive poster of this if Lightning was in her XIII outfit, Tidus was in his alternate, normal outfit, and Cloud was in his VII outfit.

No Ramza for TGS?
This looks like it's just showing the protags from the main numbered FFs (1-15). Ramza is seen in the actual TGS trailer.

Noctis looks great, waiting for a proper gameplay video.
HUD improved a bit.
Still waiting for Celes... sigh.

Why is Cloud in his Advent Children outfit when everybody else is in a outfit that is almost identical to the games they came from?
Squall's outfit has changed from his original FF8 costume. Lightning is wearing her latest canon costume. Makes sense Cloud would wear his most up to date canon outfit.
The reason some other chars have clothing that hasn't changed much is because it was deemed it wasn't in need of an update / canon outfit hasn't changed since original release.

Oh finally, a new actual character. We haven't had a new new character since, Ramza?

Only FFXV was missing from the Beta so that was very obvious.

Walks in the Light of the Crystal
Well, most of them aren't actually lol.
Warrior of Light, Firion, Cecil, Bartz, and Terra are all wearing Amano outfits that they don't use in their games. Well, Firion does in the remakes I guess.
Cloud is in his Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus outfit.
Squall and Tidus are wearing modified versions of their game outfits.
Lightning is in her Lightning Returns outfit.
Y'shtola is in her Heavensward outfit, not her original.
Really, just Onion Knight, Zidane, Shantotto, Vaan, and Noctis are wearing their OG game outfits as far as mainline heroes go.

My dude. *fistbump*
Dissidia outfit is straight trash. Unnecessary addons, worse necklace, crappy shirt. Original FFVIII outfit was perfectly fine and I don't know why they're pushing the POS Dissidia one as the standard nowadays. Even the Squall outfit in FFXIV as reward for longtime players is the Dissidia version, ugh.

At least do the KH Squall outfit with his normal hair if they're not gonna do the original VIII design, I was fine with that one.
Still super damn happy with Nomura's rendition of Terra though, she's perfect.

Also does this confirm that we might get a nice CG opening? Pls?

I would be surprised if the game doesn't have a CG opening to be honest.

Have to give Noctis more time to grow on me. Until then, the trifecta for me is still 4, 7 and 10: Cecil, Cloud and Tidus.

Cecil, Cloud, and Noctis for me.
IV began the stage of actual characterization and story (in my opinion) to the series, plus a graphics change; VII brought the series to 3D and was influencal in so many things for years to come; and XV (whether you like it or not) brought the series through a new change again with the closest that we've gotten to CGI and a drastic battle change (even more than XII).
Plus Noctis is a total dork and I love him for that.
