Limited edition Dissidia bundle to launch in Japan this December

Those who were lucky enough to get invited to Square Enix's DKΣ3713 Private Party had a chance to play a demo version of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. A release date of December 2008 was again confirmed for Japan, as well as a limited edition PSP bundle similar to the Crisis Core bundle released earlier in Japan and Europe. And like other Final Fantasy games released recently, Dissidia will also have its own Potion soft drink.
Even though 1UP reports that only 9 Final Fantasy games will be part of Dissidia, PSPHyper, NeoGAF and several Japanese blogs are reporting that in addition to Kefka of FFVI, Golbez of FFIV and Exdeath of FFV were also spotted in the trailer show at DKΣ3713. Meaning now there is at least one character from Final Fantasy I to X, resulting in a grand total of 10 titles. Unfortunately, the trailer was shown in a closed theater, making this difficult to verify. For your consideration: back in March we reported on the above poster which allegedly revealed all the villains for Dissidia -- so far the poster has been right about Cloud of Darkness of FFIII, Kefka of FFVI and Jecht of FFX. Could it be right about Golbez and Exdeath as well?
With announcement of Final Fantasy Agito XIII, The 3rd Birthday and now this bundle, Square is sure lavishing a lot of love onto the PSP.

Woot that means that Butz is in it. Since Onion knight can change jobs i hope he can too. If Onion knight and Butz can change in to at least 3 other jobs that would put most of the basic ff job classes in it. Since Onion knight can change in to a ninja.

It wouldn't be the first time 1UP.com is wrong about something.

Depending on how good the art on the psp looks, I might burn some money, and import this.

FUUUCK YOOOU JAPAAAN!!
G-dAMn I hate all the special handhelds they get. What color is this thing? if it's silver (CC-FFVII-) or white (the DS FFs), then I wouldn't mind as much, since those colors are horrible for a portable system (darker colors reflect less light, so you attention is less diverted; this, and you see gunk buildup in the DS less). I also hate Sony for not releasing any sort of bundle -- not even a memory stick thrown in -- for the Piano Black PSPs.
Bascially, I'm filled with animosity over what I can't have.

Well, crap. I'm going to get poorer again... And the Crisis Core PSP is actually quite lovely. The silver midtone matches and hides smudges despite being glossy. Dark colors with a high sheen will always show finger prints and all sorts of cosmetic damages. Light colors hide smudges and camouflages damage better, though discoloration is much more apparent.
