Question to Yoshida Re: Dissidia

[Keyln]

So, I have a question for Yoshida. I know it's not the usual Q&A about Final Fantasy XIV: ARR, but it's something that I've been thinking about since I'm playing Dissidia.

If a new Dissidia Final Fantasy game were to be released tomorrow, which XIV character would be on the side of Cosmos, and which would be on the side of Chaos?

Thanks,

Just conjecture but Gaius or Nero would be Chaos, and probably Yda, Y'shtola, or Thancred for Cosmos. Y'shtola's already the "crossover mascot" thanks to Theatrhythm, but since both of FFXI's Cosmos representatives veer on the goofy side, Yda isn't too far fetched a guess. Yda and Papalymo together would be awesome :P

Given that Dissidia already has MNK and BLM from XI, I wouldn't put my hopes on Yda/Papalymo appearing on Comsos's side. Thancred, however...I can already see him trying to, well, do what he does, and I can see his combat style fitting in well with Dissidia's gameplay.

As for Chaos...Nael wouldn't be a bad fit either - plus, we already have what could be his EX mode (not going any further than that because potential spoilers that I'm not sure if some people care about).

How would Y'shtola be useful? Lol, she's a CNJ/WHM right? Stone and Aero and Holy them all day? It's too fast past for healers like that. O:
I'd like her as a support thing, and I actually DO like Derplander as a playable character honestly.
We need a bow character...

Still wondering if I can add that .gif in your sig to mine?

Also for bow charaters there is that Mi'quote bard seen in the trailers and End of an Era.

Thancred and Lahabrea would probably make the most sense. If we follow the reason they picked Jecht to represent FFX, those two do have a bit of a connection.

Minfilia could be an interesting one. She calls her opponent on a linkpearl and then throws an adventurer at them. I suppose half of that is like Yuna though.

Derplander can still take advantage of the Armoury System. Something like how Vaan changes weapons but Derp will be changing jobs instead, hence weapons and artifact gear

I'd play the crap out of some Yda

why not yugiri? and for the bad side i dunno, since we are soon starting a new arc with the 3.0 and actually we don't have really a main bad guys.
ascien are messing around that for sure, nero was taken in ST, but that not a main baddies.... no one come out as the main one.
