Dissidia 012: [duodecim] Final Fantasy

Fans of Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be happy to know that we will now be getting a sequel to the first game in the form of Dissidia 012: [duodecim] Final Fantasy.
For those who are unfamiliar with the first game here's the bare bones of it: the protagonists and antagonists of various Final Fantasy games are brought together to fight one-on-one battles in the ultimate war between good and evil.
In this sequel all the original cast of the first game will be returning along with Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy IV, Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII, Laguna Loire from Final Fantasy VIII, Yuna from Final Fantasy X, Vaan from Final Fantasy XII, and Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. Apparently, Gilgamesh from Final Fantasy V and Prishe from Final Fantasy VI will also be playable. There is also talk that Aerith from Final Fantasy VII can be unlocked as an assist character (not a playable character).
According to Wiki, Dissidia 012: [duodecim] Final Fantasy is to be released in North Amercia on March 22, 2011.

All the best,

Jess
