Thoughts/Opinions?
Seems like square is trying to replicate the success of smash brothers with FF. The game seems to come off as taking itself too seriously IMO in the trailers where as while at least the story mode of smash attempted some bit of seriousness there was always an undertone that it was all one big joke.
I think if they want to match the numbers of smash brothers they are doing it completely on the wrong platform. At the very least it should be Wii/PSP/PS2, if not PS3/360/Wii. I doubt Id pick up a PSP for this despite being an FF fanboy, while its pretty cool to see Squall dueling Sephiroth, Im just not sold on this yet.
Trailers - Subtitled - Characters Trailer
Roster Thus Far:
Game - Good - Evil
FF1 - Warrior of Light - Garland
FF2 - Frion - Emperor
FF3 - Onion Knight - Cloud of Darkness
FF4 - Cecil - Golbez
FF5 - (Unannounced) - ExDeath
FF6 - (Unannounced) - Kefka
FF7 - (Unannounced) - Sephiroth
FF8 - Squall - Ultimecia
FF9 - Zidane - Kuja
FF10 - Tidus - Jecht
They seem to be going to a good and bad character that had a story connection in each particular game, given this, Id predict Cecil for IV, Bartz for V, Terra for VI (or possibly Celes, if its Locke Ill bust a nut that they couldn't include one fucking female hero), and Cloud for VII. This would make a roster of 20 playable characters.
Id also wager that anything from XI will be omitted, and that XII will likely not have any characters. XII would be a possibility but I don't think its likely considering it just came out last year.
