A friend of mine recently got the Dissidia PSP pack for Christmas and we got into a discussion about the potential cast for a Dissidia 2, bearing in mind that they'd probably keep some of the first game's characters in the sequel's roster.

Here're my suggestions for new characters, game-by-game (bearing in mind I know nothing of 2 or 3):

FF1 Hero: Black Belt or Thief (EX mode could be Ninja)
FF1 Villain: No bother. Chaos and Garland pretty much covers
FF4 Hero: Kain (The developers themselves said they wanted to put him in) w/ Holy Dragoon EX mode (From After Years)
FF4 Villain: Either Zemus or The Mysterious Girl from After Years
FF5 Hero: Faris or Galuf
FF5 Villain: Gilgamesh
FF6 Hero: Lots of options but I'd most like to see either Locke, Celes, Edgar, Cyan, or even General Leo.
FF6 Villain: Ultros or Gestahl
FF7 Hero: Tifa (If Kain's present in the roster, there's little need for Cid)
FF7 Villain: Some aspect of Jenova or Kadaj from Advent Children (EX mode being Sephiroth)
FF8 Hero: Rinoa
FF8 Villain: Seifer
FF9 Hero: Vivi or Garnet
FF9 Villain: Beatrix
FF10 Hero: Yuna would make more sense against Seymour, but I'd love to have Auron
FF10 Villain: Seymour
FF12 Hero: Anyone other than Vaan, Penelo, or Fran (I like Fran a lot, but she's needs Balthier)
FF12 Villain: Vayne Solidor
FF13 Hero: Lightning
FF 13 Villain: The main villain

2, 3, and 11 have been omitted from the list since I've never played them and know nothing of them.

Any ideas or arguments?

I like Tifa for VII Hero, but Rufus Shinra would be pretty interesting. I had been going over the same things...
FF Hero: Black Belt and Thief
FF Villian: Astos or Garland again
FF2 Hero: Leon
FF2 Villian: There weren't to many Villians in that one
FF3 Hero: Can't really have a change there since Onion knight was mandatory
FF3 Villian: The Villian Prior to Cloud of Darkness
FF4 Hero: Kain
FF4 Villian: Zemus
FF5 Hero: Galuf or Farris
FF5 Villian: Gil or Ex Death again
FF6 Hero: Locke or Edgar or Shadow
FF6 Villian: Emperor Gestahl
FF 7 Hero: Tifa or Cid or Zack or One of the Turks Reno or Tseung (they always seemed like a Hero)
FF7 Villian: Genesis for the Turks and Zack, Rufus for The rest of the heroes
FF8 Hero: Zell or Rhinoa or bring back Squall
FF8 Villian: Seifer can only be against Squall since that's the epic battle there... Edea for the rest
FF 10 Hero: Auron or Wakka or Lulu
FF 10 Villian: Guado Seymour

I barely played FF 12 but I figure the Air Pirate and Basch would be a good hero, while a judge or someone would be a good villian...

Actually FF 12 was represented by Judge Gabranth with no hero to act as a counterpoint. The more I think on it, Vayne would be the obvious villain and Ashe would probably be the hero from that game since they actually have a reason to fight each other.

I think most of the heroes from 4 would make excellent additions to the roster.

Yang - Short range, combo centric character, kinda like Jecht

Edge - Speedy Ninja dude, so maybe Onion Knight with more ranged options

Rosa - Not sure if this one is possible, maybe an almost completely ranged character with her bow

Rydia - Not sure on this one either, since she's a summoner

Edward - Probably not happening, but to see him use "Flee" would be hilarious

Cid - Close range, heavy hitter character

Palom/Porom - Maybe Ice Climbers style tag team?

Tellah - Powerfull magic user, like Terra or Kuja

FuSoYa - Just like Tellah

I can't really say much about the other games, as Final Fantasy 4 is the only game of the series I've beaten. I've played 1 through 8, though, and I would like some Barret (FF7), Yuffie(FF7), Gilgamesh (FF5), Xande (FF3), Locke (FF6), Leon (FF2), and/or Seifer (FF8) love.

I'd like to see Kain and Locke in it and FF2's Main Characters(Firion, Maria, Guy, and Leon). 11 can take a flying leap cause it's a MMO, not quite sure about 3.

Yeah I know that Gabranth was in it... but I thought that there were more judges or so... I never got around to fully playing FF12 so I didn't really care but hey it worked

The Judge Magisters (Gabranth, Drace, Bergen, and Zargabaath) all serve the ruler of Dalmasca, a title which was held by Vayne. At the end of the game, Vayne merges with some beyond-the-realm beings called the Occuria and becomes a god. hence why I think he'd make a proper villain. One last thing, apparently Gabranth's VA in Dissidia is the guy who does Basch's in 12.

Huh. I know this thread is a little dead, but it's only MOSTLY dead, so I'll say this. I've had ideas on how they could do Rinoa in a Dissidia sequel (with my preference being that they retain all the characters from the last and just add more).

First, Rinoa would need Angelo with her at all times, since you'd need at least SOME of her moves to derive from her Combine Limit. Given the dog can do a backflip while 'holding' the enemy, there's no real reason seeing him should break any sort of willing suspension of disbelief.

So, her Brave attacks would probably focus on magic, probably specifically the elemental spells and maybe Flare and Holy, with the option of 'Angelo Rush' as a counter. Her blaster edge could work as her chase brave attack.

As for HP attacks, you've got a nice selection of Angelo Cannon and Angelo Strike, as well as Meteor and Ultima for magic HP attacks (Ultima since it's not unique as an HP attack, and Meteor since it was particularly impressive in VIII). Maybe Angelo HP attacks for ground, and magic HPs for air.

Her EX mode would obviously be her Angel Wing mode, which would probably boost her magic somehow and give her glide. Her weapon would also upgrade to Shooting Star (mostly to match the Angel Wing theme), and Angelo would behave as though he's under float status while she's using glide.

Her EX burst would be Wishing Star...and I haven't really got a clue how to do the input or such, this is about the most I got out of this... x.x

Anyway, I had to put this SOMEWHERE, so you all got stuck with it. ^.^;; Thanks for putting up with it.
