FFXI’s Shantotto Confirmed For Dissidia

Dissidia Final Fantasy

Square Enix made a little surprise announcement for Dissidia Final Fantasy at their FFXI event “Vana Fes 2008 in Korakuen” last Saturday. Final Fantasy XI’s black mage Shantotto was confirmed to make her appearance in the battle between Cosmos and Chaos with Megumi Hayashibara as the voice actor. Expect more information about her from the Japanese mags soon.

Dissidia Final FantasyAnother Dissidia related news is there appear to be an option for “Command Battle” which lets players who are struggling with this type of action game to set their character to fight in typical RPG’s command-based style. The feature, which FFAC reunion said was mentioned in one of the developers interviews, was found listed at Dissidia’s POP displays in video game stores, sounds like something useful for poor fighting action gamers like me :)

Thanks to Kyon again for the tips.

    well, to be honest i still hope to see balthier :P in fact i guess his gun is a unique weapon in the game

    yea more than most of em have swords so having balthier as a long range fighter would freshen it up a bit
    though no youve said it i think that they might put him in or fran but who knows they might completely surprise us again by putting in someone like Addramelch lol now that would be cool!

    Lightning! I hope so much that she will be a playable character… cuz… i fell in love with her when i watched the ff xiii trailer! And she might be a good fighter, from what i’ve seen in the trailers… Dissidia is a aerial fighting game, similar to FF7:AC. And Lightning seemed VERY acrobatic in the trailers, really…
    and now sorry for my bad english :P

    Wow, I was not expecting FFXI to get any love in this game, this is great! I hate this Taru but I’m sure she’ll be fun to play since she could blow up a country if she wanted too x.x I just wonder who they’ll pick for her evil counter part…. I wanna put my money on Shadow Lord!
