Apparently we are going to get an update for Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade, so it supposedly include new character as well.

Thanks, PushDustin!

I think they did say the next character will be from Chaos side... so first villain.
 
Hopefully an old villain and they start releasing them in order. All new characters are cool and all but I think the focus should be to get at least all the characters that were in the first Dissidia out.

My bet is on Garland.
 
I'd rather them announce a PS4 port. It would be cool if we got a barebones version as it is now and received updates as the arcades get them. Would love to see the game grow while still having a chance to play it.
 
Probably Garland. I wish they'd just throw out all the Chaos characters for us to see, then get to showing off new characters like Sabin or Noel...or Umaro.

They are sure taking their time updating the game. I thought we would have all the villains playable by the end of the year but we will be lucky if we even get more than 4.

I understand the development of a character takes a while, but if it's only one villain how long is it gonna take to get to 50 characters like they've proposed? It's already been out about 5 months and we've had one extra character.

Why yes, that DOES sound like a lovely birthday present!

I'm expecting Garland or something disappointing like that though

But thats the thing, you see.

Noctis is the villain.

Now this is fanfiction Mediking needs to write.

Wouldn't Noctis now be a bit weird? We don't know his full moveset in FFXV yet and wouldn't that spoil it?

He won't be in till after, it's been said.

“We’re thinking about it, of course. He would likely use something like his ‘Phantom Swords’,” Kujiraoka says with a laugh.

"There are even some among us that have been thinking about it, saying ‘if Noctis will be in it, how will he perform those warps?’” adds Hayashi.

“However, this will have to be after Final Fantasy XV releases,” Hazama says. “It would be a bit too much to play as a Final Fantasy XV character in arcades right after the demo.”

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on that. Thought it would keep the momentum going for Square.

In that case, maybe a villain? Sephiroth/Kefka would be a good start, imo, in terms of branding/recognition.
 
Can't wait to see the villains.


That said, I really hope Sabin, Tifa, Zell, and Amarant make it into the game at some point. Those characters are tailor-made for a fighting game. ;)
 
If they're going for characters new to the series, Caius would be a good choice for the moveset, but at the same time he's a character from a sequel rather than a main game.

I'm going with Garland.

If it's Chaos side, it has to be Garland or Sephiroth. First villain or most popular villain.

When they have a pre-existing roster for every game I kind of doubt we'll see new faces from the main series anytime soon.

Not sure why they are not doing all the villains at once...one villain at a time means we will not be seeing a new character again for a long time...

Need Vivi and Balthier or Fran personally...! And then more XIV representation!
 
Garland or bust.

Just like how Warrior of Light was the first character revealed for this game, so must Garland be the first villain character shown.

The port will probably release next year. Seems like the perfect 30th anniversary game.
