Whatever’s clever, as long as they make Tidus beat the crap out of people (and better than Sephiroth, Kefka and whoever else just to piss people off), I will be appeased.
Well, that and he can get Shuyin’s outfit from X-2. Then I’ll be appeased. 
Lots more info on the game now, here’s some I blatantly C/Ped from somewhere else.
-When you save replays of matches, there’re lots of options in the action replay for playing with the camera, zoom, and even removing displays and taking screenshots. =O
-There is equipment that works like artifact types in the game. They’ll be indicated with a hammer icon. With equipment that are artifact types, they can be transferred from player to player over the online lobby. Each transfer has a possibility of changing the equipment’s name/stats into something else. It’s kinda like a chain mail/virus item that evolves from going to player to player and even tracks ownership history.
-The Command Battle option in the game actually turns the game from an action title to a menu driven battle where you simply select the actions that you want the character to take. Like Attack/Defend/Run/etc. It’s not just a menu for different attacks.
-The three install types are Battle Data, Battle Data + Story Data, and Full Install.
-The FF Museum section has a Character Files section looks a lot like FFXII’s beastiary, except it seems to cover characters as well. Really nice.
-There’ll definitely be a FFXII character.
-Chaos side characters have no story mode, this is finally confirmed. Only Cosmos characters will, but you will see the story for both sides by playing through with all the Cosmos characters.
-There are no hidden game modes that have not been announced.
-There are only twelve stage maps in the game, one for each game, one for Cosmos and one for Chaos. There are twenty-four selectable options because you can select each stage with or without the stage gimmicks that might be present. The 25th stage selection is just the “random stage” option.
Butz’s EX mode is him with that red sword he uses in his limit break with 3 stars over his head. Cecil in EX mode can switch between Light and Dark freely with R+Square. There’s a “Calendar mode” which you use when for first start a save file. Select a day in the week when you have more time to play the game and special bonuses will be given when you play on that day.

Newest scans showing Cloud and Seph’s alt costumes and more Shantotto info:
Shantotto’s attacks change depending on her Brave. After a certain point she’ll start using Ancient Magic. The “Destiny Hero’s Guide” comes out Friday so perhaps the FFXII character will be shown in there.
Random, completely pointless observations:
-
Cloud and Terra appear to have some dialog. I always thought it’d be cool to see the two interact.
-
Golbez’s EX form looks pretty damn kickass.
-
Sephy always gets shirtless alternate outfits. Which is both hilarious and boring. How about putting him in some ridiculous getup, like a suite w/ top hat and monacle. I’d pay money for that ALONE.
-
This calendar mode sounds stupid. Leave that shit in Animal Crossing. Why wouldn’t I get those “bonuses” all the damn time?
-
Still wish this was a non-portable console title (preferably 360, but PS3 would suffice).
-
Boo @ no story for bad guys. Bad guys >>>>> good guys any day of the week. FOR THE HORDE!
comparing Squeenix’s development to Konami’s isn’t much of a contest really…No offense to Konami cause they make great awesome games but Squeenix’s development is ridiculous. How many games were they working on at one time? like 12? 15?
I still wish Sora and Riku would make it in, I know they aren’t technically FF but Kingdom Hearts team is involved in everything FF these days anyway. I mean look at the character art.
Vaan!
Penelo!
Ashe!
Oh, who am I kidding? It’s probably Balthier.
Cloud/Terra interaction in the story? Sweet.
And Advent Children Cloud as the alt?? FUCK YES. 
Their story mode would be shared by the two of them and it would consist of them making out for two hours, followed by credits.
They weren’t gay, just really, really close. They both wanted Kairi, after all. Possibly bisexual? 50% no homo.
Balthier is the best thing to come out of 12, so that’d make me happy.
Ashe > Balthier.
The truth.
But it’ll probably be Balthier, well, him or Vaan (since Japan actually likes him and SE gave him roles in several recent games).
And yes, Sora in Dissidia would be beast. Cloud in AC gear = how it fucking should be.
Let’s have that Shuyin outfit alt for Tidus now, SE.
I know how you feel. I kinda wish Crono would pop in as well as a secret character.
They wanted Kairi about as much as you want a dick in your ass(assuming that you do not, in fact, want a dick in your ass). They were homo.
LOL.
Seriously though, Sora TOTALLY wants Kairi. Riku kinda did, but it wasn’t as blatant as Sora. And hell, Kairi wants to jump on Sora right back, so there you go.
Back to Dissidia discussion: Show Tidus and Cecil’s alternate outfits.
Yeah, I’m just joking around for lulz. Kairi’s hella cute, though. I’d smash.
Regarding Dissidia: I wish that they had more than two from each game. When I heard about this game I was like RIKKU <3333333333333 and then I hear that there’s only gonna be two from each game and I’m like -_-
I wouldn’t mind Ashe, just to see a girl in the game who isn’t 100% caster. Which TOTALLY should’ve been Terra, given her more “Magic Knight” status in FF6. But meh.
Maybe if Lightning makes it in, that’ll be super-swordslady…
Are you coming on to me?
… I’m not hearing a no… (Granted, I didn’t give you time to answer, but still…)
Possibly yes homo.
Terra got turned into a weakass magic caster?
cackles with glee
As for Lightning, Nomura said he wasn’t gonna put in XIII characters, didn’t he? Which sucks since Noctis (main guy in Versus XIII) is fucking pro.
Yeah I think it was mentioned that XIII isn’t making the cut. Which seems silly; you’d think promoting a big-name future title would be reason enough (see: Roy in Melee).

SHit, outsponded.
re: damage in Cloud vs. Seph trailer
The damage in that match was high because the characters started off with high Brave, plus the Bonus Brave in the middle of the screen was already over 3000. You’ll also note that both characters had over 9000 HP, so the Brave damage was scaled to their HP. They were probably “high level” characters battling it out, compare to the “low level” characters we saw in Tidus vs. Jecht and Warrior of Light vs. Garland. I’m sure that in Vs. matches, the HP totals and initial Brave values and bonuses will be standard, and not have huge variances like we’ve seen in the matches thus far.
