In an advanced preview of next week's Shonen Jump there is a small feature on Fabula Nova Crystallis - primarily some of the characters which will be featured in the games. The main headline is that the aptly named Mr. 33cm now has an official codename, much like Lightning. His new codename will be Snow, which to be honest isn't exactly that endearing.
New scans for Final Fantasy Dissidia have been released in this month's edition of Famitsu magazine in Japan. They show off Bartz (or Butz Klauser) and his nemesis Exdeath, while also showing off new pictures of Squall Leonhart. In an example of the multiple costumes that will be available for each character, Squall is seen in his SeeD Uniform.

Square Enix has never been shy about having characters appear as cameos and/or unlockables and there is a strong possibility that they could do the same with Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
The most obvious example of this would be Kingdom Hearts: a game developed by Square Enix which has a completely unique cast, Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters too. Throughout the franchise, a multitude of characters have appeared in cameo roles and even characters from Final Fantasy X-2 have featured.
Much has been said recently about Square Enix turning their back on Sony, as in the last 6 months, Square Enix have seemed to shift camps and now appear to be courting Microsoft much more than anyone else. This is primarily down to the shock announcement revolving around Final Fantasy XIII, when at E3 earlier this year, Square Enix announced that it was no longer a Playstation 3 exclusive in North America and Europe.
Further rumours have been abound recently due to the Tokyo Game Show 2008, where Microsoft had its booth right next to where Square Enix set up. Comments from Yoichi Wada during his keynote speech also helped to ignite the fire, but the question is, where do Square Enix's loyalties actually lie? Is this all being blown completely out of proportion?

To continue a long line of tradition that Square Enix started a while back, Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be receiving a line of soft drinks to tie-in with its launch in December.
They will be released on the 19th of December, like the game, but some of the can's designs haven't been announced yet. What is clear though, is that there will be one drink per game, with the front featuring one character and the back featuring another (as shown in the screenshot below).
Although they were announced earlier today, it was done so in the Closed Mega Theatre. However, since then, images have surfaced online which confirm the inclusion of both Cloud Strife and Terra (Tina) Branford in Final Fantasy Dissidia.

After we reported a few days ago that Bartz would likely be confirmed at this year's Tokyo Game Show, it seems that Square Enix decided to jump the gun and announce Bartz a day early.
A new scan from Shonen Jump Magazine shows off Bartz in his re-done Dissidia concept style, which has been rendered by Tetsuya Nomura based off of Yoshitaka Amano's original work.
While Trailer 2 came out a little while ago, we felt that it would be a good idea to try and highlight some crucial points that appeared during the trailer. This may be pointing out characters who people might not know, or by talking about aspects of the game which may or may not be in the final product.
