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

Thancred might've been good to have as the FFXIV representative because there are so many casters, I would have liked a Locke type character for Dissidia .

Yeah that's another reason why I was shocked it was her, If they keep the current cast + Y'shtola that is waaay to many casters haha.

I wish it was Yda. I don't know what this Dissida game is though.

Dissidia is a Final Fantasy style fighting game. Think Super Smash Bros. but with final fantasy characters

That sounds pretty neat! I played Smash Brothers once. My little brother kicked my ass though.

Not surprising, given the fact Theaterythym is essentially a spin-off of Dissidia anyway.

Basically this.

Yshtola is also the first protagonist shown even during 1.0. She's the FFXIV representative, basically.

Nobody should be surprised especially after Theatrhythm used her.

Given the other two Dissidia games, I think there might be more than just one characters from XIV besides Y'shtola. Like how FFIV has Cecil, Kain and Golbez. I'm kinda hoping for Thancred with him using 2 daggers as his EX mode.

Not true,
The protagonist you meet in 1.0 depended on your starting city.
If Grid its Yda and Papalymo
If Limsa it's Yshtola
if Ul'dah its Thancred

And seeing as Ul'dah was pretty much the main hub back in 1.0, most people probably met Thancred first.

Doubt they would of considered Yda for more than a few min, Dissidia already has 2 female fist fighers, Tifa Lockhart and Prishe from FFXI.

But look at all the casters D:!

I was hoping for Gaius if there was ever another Dissidia game but I don't care about this unless it heads to the west and is on anything but the Vita.

Yea but at least with casters you can have so much variety, how many hand to hand combat styles can you have that really feel unique?

Kefka has his wacky crazy magic that's hard to read

Kuja's magic is highly combo based, and is mostly either super long range or super short range, no real middle ground

Terra's magic is basically a middle road, with some combos and a lot of mid range attacks

Mateus's magic is almost exclusivly traps

Shantotto's magic is nothing but skill chains

Yuna's magic consists of long wind ups for big hits


For close range hand to hand, you got Prish with custom built combo's that can end in skill chains, and Tifa who has several short combo moves but she can instantly cancel and teleport behind target. I'm sure there are more methods to make a unique hand to hand fighter, but with the range allowed to casters, and only the devs imagination limiting what those magics can do, not too hard to see why there are so many.
