Until next time everyone!

Dissidia: New Characters and Info

At this year Jump Festa, a new Final Fantasy: Dissidia trailer was shown confirming the presence of three new characters:




• Squall
Though it was mentioned some weeks ago, Squall, from Final Fantasy 8 will be available.
• Edea
The sorceress from Final Fantasy 8
• Tidus
And the famous Zanarkand Abes Star Player, from Final Fantasy 10


Those who get to be at the Jump Festa, had the chance to take some "punches" on the multiplayer demo, got rewarded with this pouch:

And also, someone decided to give us a small, but yet important, report about the game controls which stands:
- Directional buttons: camera control
- Analog stick: character movement
- L: lock-on
- R: guard
- R + X: dodge
- X: jump
- O: attack (Brave Point reduction)
- []: attack (Health Point reduction - uses BP)
- Triangle: perform "map markers" (such as running on walls)

And to end this topic for today, I give you a IGN report where they give us their first impression about the game, which as it always happened, the game came to be even cooler than it would seem. Also, there's more details and impressions, remember to check them out.

And finally this would be probably my last post until 26th December so I'd like to wish every visitor a great Merry Christmas!! We would like you to enjoy the day, and most of all, I would like to thank you for all of your support, because it counted a lot for me to keep Square Planet alive!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
and an
HAPPY NEW YEAR
