Dissidia 012 theories

[rakathspseudonym]

Rak cannot sleep, so Rak is going to just think about who else might show up in the next incarnation of Super Smash Fantasy Who-needs-the-laws-of-Physics:

1. Not every title will get more cast. (been stated)
2. Despite how I might really rather every game gets a new female character giving the female cast an actual sizable count... I shouldn't get my hopes up so I won't be suggesting female cast universally (just where they make sense).
3. I am mostly suggesting new heroes because... well... there aren't a lot of good villains per title.
4. FF4 and 7 have new cast already. So I am ignoring them.

Anyway, TO THE THOUGHTS:
- Yuna is almost for sure going to be in the game. Probably out of her FFX-2 moves and persona. So she might get a rotatable ability set based on Dress spheres. Song and Gun dresses being the most likely as they are the most iconic. With her uberdress of massive damage being on the line as her Ex-Burst. I don't suggest her
- With Yuna being all Guns are good, we need someone to be the cast Summoner. The most iconic choice for that is Garnet from FFIX. A mix of White Magic and Summons to cover her nifty powers, and her combat can be a mix of Rods and Rackets. That gives her enough I'd say to take a spot.
- FF1, 3, and 11 are all good choices to not get new cast members. Due to their less-than-named cast as it is, and the last one being an MMORPG.
- FF2 will probably land a villain, or either of Firion's friends. I'm not really sure what the heroes will do since Firion does everything. Anyway we need more villains so let's get one here. *shrug*
- FF5 will probably give us another female... just based on have many female options. I have no idea what they will do for abilities as... its a game with every character getting the same class options.
- FF6 will probably not get Locke as we have Zidane, I don't see much Locke can give in combat Zidane doesn't do already. I am horrible for saying this, but there it is. I would probably say Edgar is the best choice if his various Machine attacks can be used. If not, Sabin and Mog are both very possible. Sabin is more me wishfully thinking, he suplexed a TRAIN.
- FF8, I would say, would be a good choice for a 'villain' to take their third slot. In this case Seifer. ...mostly because he and Squall rematching would be badass. Yup, totally objective view here!
- FF12 will probably only get 1 new character, and it'll be Ashe. It needs an actual hero.
- FF13 I have no idea who will sit for its villain slot. Orphan kinda lacks... humanity. Cid maybe? I don't want it getting 3 people off the bat. The only way 13 gets more cast is if the Post Game Secret Cast are from Agito and Versus.
- ...I would be very happy if any of the kids from Agito was playable.

I'm so biased it hurts. I want Rinoa in the next game. I want, I want, I want. Because then maybe there will actually exist a decent, really awesome RInoa figure for me to buy because the Dissidia figures have all been awesome. And well.. it's Rinoa and we all know how I am about her by now.

I was just thinking from a villain standpoint Seifer is the only guy I think 'he really should be in Dissidia' when I thought about all the other villains I remembered (which... wasn't a lot really). Which is why I said him, I wouldn't be surprised if Rinoa made it, but I mean other than Black Waltz 3 most non-end villains aren't very memorable.

What I worry for is Garnet, I really want her in the game, you can't believe how much I wanna see her playable. But FFIX gets less respect than VII, VIII, and X. The only thing keeping Garnet from being impossible in the game is Yuna was in X-2. So she can be Diva Yuna instead of Summoner Yuna.

I'm selfish. I want both in the end, because KH did Seifer so much wrong. I mean really, that was harsh.

I love Garnet and think she'd be an awesome addition to the game. Hopefully they'll go off Diva Yuna and not summoner Yuna, but I'm not entirely confident that they will. Fingers crossed?

Not that I can talk, I've never even played Dissidia.

I really doubt anyone from Versus and Agito will be there, if only because the whole reason Lightning was left out of the original one was that her game wasn't out yet.

Oh, I don't count it as very likely, but it'd be cool.

It would be very cool.
