Well, it has been a month since I abandoned ship (again), but I am finally back with more Final Fantasy updates.
I plan to revamp my approach. The site has festered a bit regarding its choice of topic, and Final Fantasy Girls will now focus more on Final Fantasy from this point forward. I will still feature female cosplayers donning their favorite Final Fantasy attire. This month is so fantastically intriguing that it is so hard to overlook the news surrounding the Final Fantasy title in general.
First up, Dissidia 012 Duodecim.
Final Fantasy Union has gone on a little crusade to inform us about the development of the prequel to the original Dissidia game, and they are quite good at it. The PSP exclusive is going all out with all the game’s recent evolution in terms of gameplay and graphics. Dissidia 012 Duodecim opened the year with a series of fan-cheering additions of Yuna to Cosmos’ lineup of warriors. Of course, she’ll be joined by Lightning Farron, Kain Highwing, Laguna Loire, and Vaan.
What is more startling is that, the extended trailer shown on Final Fantasy Union indicates that some of the previous Cosmos warriors will not join the fight against discord and destruction. It is hinted that Tidus, Cloud, and Terra have joined Chaos’ soldiers of darkness. The trio could not be seen in Cosmos’ corner.
A trailer is just a trailer. Those split second sequences make it hard for us to determine if whether Tidus, Cloud, and Terra have gone rogue and defected from the Goddess of Harmony. More importantly, it is hard to imagine if Tidus is on the side of evil given his jumpy disposition.
The six-minute trailer also features Bartz and an anthropomorphic figure heading straight towards the cheery adventurer.
The swirling figure might be the weapon fanatic, Gilgamesh.
Word of caution: Never travel around the Void alone!
In addition, Aerith Gainsborough can be seen during a short skirmish involving Cloud and Sephiroth.

Expect more on these in the next coming weeks.
Anyways, Dissidia 012 Duodecim is picking up steam; the fighting mechanics look fluid and everything about it, especially how a quick North American release would soon follow after the initial Japan release, is impressive.
