FFXIV in Dissidia

[Betelgeuzah]

I think the most iconic character in XIV right now is The Black Wolf (Gaius van Baelsar).

That is, if the concept of bad guy representing the game wouldn't be out of the question.

They did it with XII in the first game (well, if you consider Gabranth a bad guy, which is debatable) so why not XIV?

This. I highly disagree with Yoshi-P when he mentioned all the current characters are too 'weak' for Dissidia.

Gaius has people wanting him in Dissidia since someone first uploaded a video of "Zulvan" on youtube. Even people that hate FFXIV wanted him on Dissidia. I've seen people posting on some random forums stuff like "wow, I saw this video on youtube and I really want this guy on Duodecim, even tho I never touched FFXIV or XI!".

Indeed, putting him as a character on another game, be it next Dissidia, a Duodecim DLC, Theatrhythm, whatever,would be a very good marketing strategy, specially if they do that around 2.0 launch.

The character is not very developed at this point? After what they did with the like of Onion Knight (that had little to no story or personality on the original game), they can circumvent that issue just fine. If done after patch 1.23 (that will add the legatus battle), even his abilities will no longer be a "spoiler".

TL;DR: Gaius on Dissidia. Now.
