I know Dissidia Duodecim! That's the thing I use to find things in the library. The Duodecim system, or something.

Lightning was a lame character. Would have liked to see Zell from VIII. But I would give it all away for a Marvel Vs Capcom style square enix game. Or Smash Bros.
And they need to fix the fact that the story is lame as fuck. And the overall gameplay is really not that good. Non-diehards need not apply.

I would have preferred Vivi to Laguna, but hey, i guess every game can't get two characters.
 
On a side note, could that be Gilgamesh at the end there?

@TimothyWessel: They might as well confirm it. A topic over at NeoGAF showed some character artwork extracted from the demo they released, and Gilgamesh was among it, along with all of the other playable characters.

This game is going to be awesome, hell Im not even a Final Fantasy fan but I liked the first game so much is still is one of the best and must fun for the PSP , people complaing about the story like really why?, this is a fighting game first an RPG second the story should only be an excuse to put all this characters in one world , is pointless to complain about Story in fighting game when really the gameplay is what´s important

Final Fantasy logic. Light will always fight darkness which makes shadows that hide in light until light is extingushed so they can rule the land. But light is hiding in the dark and begins again.

So, is this a sequel or an updated release, like Super Street Fighter IV? I guess it really doesn't matter, story is hardly important anyway. I might pick it up,  the first was a decent time sink during the summer.
 
Wait, they're bringing in Vaan? Why? Wasn't he useless in 12? Why not bring in Bosch, or Balthier?

@Redharlow: Considering we've already got Super Mario Sports Mix, I think a Final Fantasy vs. Smash Bros. shouldn't be too far behind. That'd be a pretty damn awesome game.

If its just more of the first Dissidia then I'll be more than happy, that FMV sequence at the end made me wet myself.

Haven't played the first one but it could be worth giving it a shot. although that was kinda a lame chaos , shoulda stuck with Vincent Valentine who cares if it follows whatever crap story there trying to force.

Kinda dissapointed they didn't add in Celes. I allways kind of felt she was more of the main character of ff6 than Tera was.

She got the spot light in the second half of FF6 I feel, but Terra takes it back just near the end.

"Duodecim(o)" in Spanish and similar words in other romance languages actually mean "twelfth". Wonder if that has anything to do with the game.

Man I hope this one has a better fighting system. Wailing on a guy for 20 minutes and then having him reverse all the damage and instant KO you in one move was beyond annoying in the first one.

The first time I laid my eyes upon the word, I read Duodenum. But I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the first section of the small intestine.

Dissidia was awesome, one of my favourite PSP games, and that says a lot cause my PSP is probably my most used console (handheld?) these days.   
 
Basically Dissidia: We added more stuff sounds perfect to me.  Tons to do in that game, actually a pretty fun combat system that differentiated the characters a lot (they could have just gone with a smash bros style game, and it'd still have sold like hotkeys).  Character-building RPG elements (even if the story sucked, the story mode was a lot of fun) with a pretty solid fighter?  Add more to that, and you have a winner.

It's great that they included Laguna, such a great character with a great story. 
 
Although it doesn't matter to me much, since this will be on the PSP.
