More Dissdia: Final Fantasy details from Famitsu

Earlier in the month, Tidus and Jecht were revealed via Famitsu to be part of the roster of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. PSPHyper now has more details from that same issue of Famitsu. A battle system with HP and Brave points, which is the determinant of your character's power, is elaborated upon. Brave points are used to make HP Attacks, depleting your opponent's HP. Special moves can also be used this way and are earned by leveling up and they are unique to each character. An indicator that helps the player time each press of the button will appear during these special moves.
When your EX gauge becomes full, you enter EX mode, which is a Limit Break-esque state that will power up your character and perform up to four types of transformations. Gil, the currency of the Final Fantasy world, has also been revealed as part of the game but what it does is currently unknown. Gliding has also been shown as a means of movement. Despite its RPG roots, Dissdia's RPG elements are limited to leveling up and choices regarding treasure chests and enemies.
Nomura also assures us the reason the game is taking so long simply because each character has many moves and transformations, and their team wants to make them look perfect. As reported before, there will be 20 characters in the final cast and currently 50% of the game is done. To learn more, the entire article is available here.

"there will be 20 characters"
And a special surprise..... A special bonus character, maybe? Any guess's?

Must buy this game and rub box all over my body (just like I did with MGS4). I can't wait for this, it looks epic. I hope the best character ever is in this. . . that long tongued chef from FFIX(I think) who's name I don't remember . . . yeah . . . he was great.

Quina? x_o
Gaucho @ Jun 30th 2008 1:15PM
yeah, that was it. Quina. I was joking. . . as far as 'comic relief' characters go Quina was one of the worst by far, only second to Wakka who should have never existed. Personally I could have done without Cait Sith too but whatever. . . Fujin and Raijin FTW.
Saigon @ Jun 30th 2008 2:24PM
If they can somehow show Zell struggling to obtain a hot dog, that would be all the comic relief I would need.
Christopher @ Jul 1st 2008 11:35AM
Eww, sticky box cover art...
Wakka wasn't bad. I'm playing X right now, and he's one of the better characters for regular battles. He's better than Tidus and Kimahri both, especially against enemies weak against status or elemental attacks.

Dont rub it all over your body, it's bad for your lungs, try something like smoking, that should help.
strike @ Jun 30th 2008 1:12PM
Quina Quen?
Gaucho @ Jun 30th 2008 1:19PM
damn posting system. (erased my post).
yeah, it was Quina. as far as comic relief characters go that was one o the worst. Fujin and Raijin FTW.

Still waiting on the announcement of any females...at all...=_=
strike @ Jun 30th 2008 3:49PM
look at the screen shot above, who is squall fighting? A woman.
Silentninja @ Jun 30th 2008 4:34PM
Ultimecia is female. And Cloud of Darkness too (I think)... That's it though? Maybe Terra for FFVI.
Haohmaru @ Jul 1st 2008 9:02AM
I'd rather have Edgar for FFVI. Power tools!
-Jad- @ Jun 30th 2008 7:06PM
Looking sharp isn't. This game will be a blast. I can't wait for this and KH: Birth by Sleep.
TJF588 @ Jul 7th 2008 8:45AM
Th'ell is "gilding"? Y'mean "gliding", a la FFVIIAC's battle scenes?
I'd say secrets would either be playing as Cosmos and Chaos, as a reverse-cameo of KH characters (hopefully fully topical ones, likes Sora, Riku, Roxas, Xemnas, or 'Ansem', as opposed to promoting the news games), or as a hero/villain couplet from FFXIII (or, rather, its "series").
