Y'shtola will represent FFXIV in the new Dissida Game.

All the Scions would have been the best (non-comic relief, to which: they added Bartz and ExDeath before Gilgamesh) option. Not as separate characters mind, as a tag-team style character thing. Can't actually recall Dissidea doing that, Onion Kid could switch Jobs I think?

Gaius as the villain would then work exceptionally well as we'd be able to recreate this. 1.0s Gaius >>>>>>>>>>>>>> that utter moron we got in Praetorium...

Y'shtola seems to be the official FFXIV mascot (she's listed as No.054 (Super Rare) in a Lord of Vermillion II artbook, and as far as I know, no other character from FFXIV is there, while IV has at least Kain, Rydia and Edge, for example). Probably because she's a Miqo'te (Tarutaru seems to have been FFXI's mascot race, making Lalas too similar, meanwhile Miqo'te are all over the XIV crossovers/promos) and a scion.

It would be nice if they could also include Gaius AND Lahabrea/- er, wait-Spoilerguy, yes, Spoilerguy (if you played all of 2.0 storyline you know who). And have the latter genuinely be on both sides. With Gaius and Y'shtola being fixed.

I wonder if they'll have a Y'shtola centric story in the future to make her pop out more for non-Limsa Lominsans.

Yeah, what even is Y'shtolla? She carries a WHM wand yet uses SCH barriers?

I love Dissidia. Just hope that this does eventually get a console port, because arcades are all but dead outside of Japan. There are a lot of people who would love to play this and will ultimately be disappointed if SE doesn't port the game eventually.

We never did get a follow-up for that video, did we? They pretty much forgot the entirety of that ending Tanaka questline when going into 2.0. It's a shame too because I always wondered what the heck happened after that fight.

I think I remember seeing Kan E Senna use a large barrier (probably protect)somewhat similar to Y'shtola's. Otherwise she's probably an advanced CNJ

I'm surprised no one remembers that one moment in 2.2 where Y'shtola pretty much tells Merlwyb to get her 'act' together (she also shows impatience during the Titan quest). Y'shtola is also capable of casually stopping the blade of an axe with the palm of her hand (in 1.0).

She's still a far better choice than Hildibrand, though. While yes, he has more 'character', he is incapable of fighting. His mum and dad are better fighters, but even then they'd still be a terrible choice (personally, I find it would be a bad idea to make characters used only for comedy/anime purposes to represent a game that has a serious plot).

Looks like she knows Blizzard III, Aero II and Holy. From the looks of it, she will be a burst AOE style mage considering there is 3v3 battles.

And bullets as well, as shown in the fight with Gaius. She is basically Neo, only prettier, smarterm and better at magic.

As for the villain, if we get one, I vote for Darnus. G-man may have been cool in 1.0, but Nael has the most memorable boss battle in the game (both games), is the most impactfull person in Eorzean history since Emperor Xande(go on, name a single zone, dungeon or questline that wasn't affected by the calamity) and could shrug off the effects of getting tempered by a primal the size of Limsa Lominsa.
