Blood of Bahamut, the game which was announced via a countdown yesterday, has had a sneak peak revealed in this month's edition of Jump magazine. The magazine has confirmed that the game will be made for the Nintendo DS and that it is likely to be an Action RPG.
Last week the first in-game images were released of Cloud and Sephiroth together, but they were quite small and didn't really show much. Now the images are much better and showcase a lot of different things, including where they drew their influences from.
While it was already disclosed, there are now screenshots of Cloud using Ultima Weapon and performing Meteorain. Sephiroth is also using his Super Nova limit break in the screens.
While probably not as potent as last week's list, there are still some big hitters that have appeared in Final Fantasy Spinoffs who many may feel they would like to see in Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
Unlike last week though, this list will only contain 5 characters, as well, there just haven't been as many original characters in spinoffs as there have been in the main Final Fantasy series.
As these characters don't appear in the main iterations of the Final Fantasy franchise, their inclusion would definitely have to be as bonus material, as they wouldn't be able to replace anyone from the other games.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the list; hit the jump to view it!
Normally it would take something more substantial to warrant a news post, but this image is what we feel all those Dissidia fans out there have been craving for quite a while; a complete scan with all of the characters in squaring off against each other.
This gem appeared in the recent edition of V Jump Magazine and with the game being released in under a month in Japan, it seems as though hype in the East is getting quite high. Hopefully we'll get release dates for both North America and Europe soon enough.
Last month, there was a picture of Cloud in a magazine with the words 'Coming Soon' underneath his name. Of course, being the wishful thinkers that we are, many thought this signalled one of three things.
1) We could be seeing the announcement of a Final Fantasy VII Remake quite soon.
2) We could be seeing the announcement of the next volume of Cloud DVD
3) We could be seeing the announcement of a new Final Fantasy VII Compilation game.
Well, it turns out it's none of these, as Cloud's Message is actually a new book, yes book. The book is actually going to be called Cloud Message and it will be released on the 10th of December this year. Should you wish to import it, the price is going to be ¥1,575.
In a recent interview with the Dissidia: Final Fantasy team, they divulged some information about the game's story and how it will come together. However, the most interesting nugget came when they were asked about the game's lifespan.
Apparently the game is designed in such a way that each story mode can be played multiple times, with new unlockables and options available to the player each time they play through. This in their eyes means that the game could effectively last a player their "entire lifetime".
While we are quite confident that most people probably wouldn't want to play Dissidia for that long, who're we to refute their claims? After all, every single character will have a unique story, which will be intertwined with the other characters in the game. Yes, that means there are effectively 20 different re-inactions of the story and if you want to understand the entire plot, you'll have to play them all.

Square Enix have recently put their Final Fantasy Dissidia trailer from this year's Tokyo Game Show up on the official website and it features all of the characters that we now know are confirmed for the game. There is even a more extensive look at Cloud Strife in action.
Hopefully Square Enix will release their Tokyo Game Show trailers for Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII next. Come on Square, you know you want to.
After Cloud was announced at this year's Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix prohibited the public from seeing imagery of their favourite Final Fantasy character...until now.
Shonen Jump have got a full-page spread featuring both Cloud and Sephiroth, who are Final Fantasy VII's representatives in Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Not only does it showcase the concept art that we released last month, but it also shows the world-first in-game footage of Cloud. Check out the scan below.
Some new scans have surfaced in Japan for Dissidia: Final Fantasy which feature some insight into the menu systems, an interview with some developers and a two-page spread detailing information about Final Fantasy VI's representatives, Terra Branford and Kefka.
Also discussed in the scans are Summons, the Story Mode, the various rules which will apply throughout gameplay and some information about all of the characters between Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy IV; including some discussion about EX-Modes.
Enterbrain in Japan have announced a few little details about the November edition of Famitsu PS3 magazine (released 14th of November) and they've claimed that there will be a heavy focus on Final Fantasy XIII this issue.
Nothing about the actual content has been disclosed as of yet, but it looks as though the content on Final Fantasy XIII will be very new and it will disclose lots of new features that are set to get fans excited.
Check back in a few days for hopefully a full Final Fantasy XIII media blowout.
