While this image is awesome, we have no way of knowing yet if it is either Gabranth or Basch. While smart money is on Gabranth (XI gets a Light character, XII gets a dark one), let's just wait for some more information. Anyway, commence insane yelping over the awesomeness. | |||

A hero from XI and a villain from XII would be the stupidest thing to happen to Dissidia. ILHI 19:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree, but unfortunately, it looks like that's how it's going to be. But why Gabranth? Why not Vayne? | |||
Possible plot twist? Gabranth might actually be Basch, pretending to be his brother so he can infiltrate the side of Chaos. All I know is that I want to see how Nomura handled the art, since this will be his first crack at a Yoshida design. | |||
Ah, sorry. I think I was the first to add it, and I assumed that since Shantotto was light it was safe to put Gabranth. C'est la vie. | |||
Don't worry, I'd put Gabranth too, but there are some obvious troubles there: 1) He's dead 2) He has a twin brother who now wears his armour, making them interchangable (in fact, that was the whole point) Also, the image has him apporaching Cosmos. For all we know, this scene can end with him removing his helmet and saying "Hey, it's me Basch. Sorry about the confussion, having a twin brother associated with the evil side can be annoying some times!" | |||
Yeah. Though to be fair... Mateus is dead. Kuja is dead. Sephiroth is dead...like three times.. though that doesn't seem to matter. Kefka is dead. Garland is alive, but returned to the side of good. Golbez is dead/alive but good, depending on when in the timeline this is drawn from... Point? | |||
Do any of them have good-hearted identical twins though? - Disapear | |||
Good point Dazuro, I kind of had a brain fart there. The reason Gabranth's death stood out so much to me is because of Revenant Wings, where Basch is seen running around in his brother's armour. | |||
A brain fart? - Jesus take the wheel | |||
Finally Dissidia proves itself to not be total shit. Too bad FFXII wasn't announced earlier, or it would have saved me loads of grief. I, for one, think its Gabranth (Noah).
| |||
Ugh...Balthier and his "I'm the leading man" spiel makes me want to stab him...Otherwise, since the villains were killed in their respective games and now alive in Dissidia, I'm 100% sure that the guy in armour is definitely gonna be Gabranth, like what BH just said. | |||
I want vayne *cry*, no fair, no fair!!! *cry more*... oh well I hope he is a secret character or somthing. P.D: is true what I read in one forum from gamefaqs, that vaan is the most imporatn character in ivalice?? why Vaan isn't in Dissidia. Ivalice Alliance and Akihiko Yoshida, they don't want to let Vaan to be in Dissidia, because they don't want Nomura to touch him. Ivalice Alliance favorite hero is Vaan. I read the previous interview that Vaan is their most important character ever. 1. Vaan is not in Dissidia, because they don't want it. 2. Their most important character is Vaan ( Ivalice Alliance interview ) 3. Both together ^^ show that there is a FFXII-2 in upcoming future is that true??? http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=939394&topic=47131808 | |||
Its not even close to being true. | |||
Citing Gamefaqs Message Boards?!!!!? AGHHH Hthe AgONy!!!! | |||
Dissidia is a "What if" story according to the director so just cause he was dead in XII doesn't mean it can't be him (in fact a lot of the villains were dead at the end of their game and are in Dissidia.) Also Shantotto says something along the lines of "Right, the future is something one has to seize by force!" while the Judge says something like "not even by force can they ensure the future" also some fan who played the Japanese version say that's definitely Gabranth's voice. | |||
By the way, Diablo. Re: "All I know is that I want to see how Nomura handled the art, since this will be his first crack at a Yoshida design." Amano did a little-known drawing of the Judges, so I presume Gabranth was among them (I'm not big on XII so I didn't identify who was who when I saw it)--and since these designs are all based on Amano's stuff, not Yoshida's, it's not quite so special. | |||
YES!!!! I love Judges!!! | |||
|
Um, at this point it's not looking like a villain from FFXI and hero from FFXII are going to appear. It's been leaked that the game will only have 22 playable characters. | |||
That's bullshit. Fucking games that nobody ever liked: like that boring worthless game, FFII, get full coverage, but FFXII only gets a single character!!! FFI has nothing I would dare aggrandize by calling a character, but it has twice the number of bodies as FFXII does. This sucks. | |||

Poor fanboy. Also, it's Gabranth: His VA really resembles Gabranth in the english version, but the voice actors could be the same in the japanese version for both twins... | |||
Japanese version has separate voice actors for Gabranth and Basch. If XII got the full coverage like the other 10 games did then it'd have to follow the rules of them: main hero and main villain meaning we'd have Vaan and Vayne. So I'm glad it's just Gabranth. | |||
for me basch alternative costume for Gabranth, but is the full roster only 22? not hidden characters? I hope not P.D: somebody know why they choise Gabranth over all the others | |||
He's on the game's logo, the guy that starts all the mess, and the most iconic character of FFXII | |||
BlueLionheart - "Be careful, dear friend, lest you fall into the endless ocean of stars..." - 水風死 TALK - How does one add those little icon things on their talk bubbles? | |||
Relax, BlueHighwind. I don't think they would add just one XII character, seeing as how it was/is so popular. | |||
I always thought the judges from XII looked like total badasses. I think it is awesome Gabranth got chosen. | |||
Gabranth's cool, but I was hoping they put in Ashe instead cuz in my opinion, she was the main character of FFXII. Then if she was picked, her villain connection would either be the Occuria or the Sun Cryst... | |||
My money is on Basch, he does wear his brother's armor after all! I wouldn't be surprised if Chaos summons him thinking he's the evil Gabranth but gets attacked. | |||

Only 22 characters? Hmm..I'm fine with what we have, although I'd like another XII and maybe even some XIII characters. Maybe we'll get more via DLC or something, if not, aw well, I still have Terra. | |||
Krystal Tomlin - "When prayers turn to promises, not even fate can stand in our way." TALK - Ruiner - "Wouldn't wanna be you!" | |||
It's Gabranth. I just know it. | |||
Most likely Basch since in the end of XII he took Gabranth's Judge Magister uniform. | |||
It's gotta be Gabranth. Shantotto and Gabranth are the secret characters as well as the only representatives from their respective games for a very good reason - They aren't unambiguously good or evil. Shantotto was chosen for Cosmos because she sides with good, but definitely has an evil side to her. Gabranth was chosen for Chaos because he is a villain, but has a good heart and struggles with his choices, evnetually redeeming himself in the end. Their ambiguity makes them the perfect choices for characters who are supposed to represent their entire game - good, bad, and everything in between. This is the same reason Gilgamesh was(and hopefully still is?) a perfect choice as another secret character - He is technically a villain, but he helps out the good guys as much as the bad. | |||
I really don't get why people are making such a big fuss out of Gabranth's status as morally conflicted. Golbez was a main villain who ended up a hero, too... | |||
Deadlyslashsword - +It takes disaster to learn a lesson, but you're going to make it through the darkest nights+ TALK - {{{time}}} - Some people betray and cause treason...we're gonna make everything alright. | |||
People like Gabranth better, myself included. Besides, Golbez wasn't truly evil. He was being manipulated by Zemus the entire time. | |||
Collio, i am quite chuffled now - Jesus Take The Wheel | |||
He's facing right which means he's on the side of Chaos. | |||
Wow, that didn't take long for confirmation. Well then, I guess editing Gabranth's article is perfectly fine. XD | |||
I already have the artwork cropped, what do you think, have i done a good job of getting rid of the rest? - Go:Audio | |||

@Dazuro: Is that picture of Gabranth from the game's guide? | |||
I thiink it is from shoen jump. - Go:Audio | |||
It's from V-Jump's Dissidia: Destiny Heroes Guide. | |||
I was close with jump, but still what do you think of my croping skills? - Jesus Take The Wheel | |||
Well, either way, this is going to what I'm expecting for Dissidia. We now know that ONE of them appears. Then it's likely that THE OTHER will appear. If it's really Gabranth, like I want him to be, Basch should be in his original costume. I just want Basch in this game, even if I don't have a PSP. Here's why Basch and not Balthier of Vaan.
| |||
I might be wrong, but I think it's too late to hope, Basch is simply not in Dissidia. Unfortunately... The more people the better after all. | |||

Just wake up fanboys...there are only two slots for bonus characters in Dissidia. Shantotto and Gabranth. | |||
Sorry Henry, but I'm willing to bet everything that they aren't bonus characters. :D Hey, at least Vaan isn't in. Or Balthier. Gabranth I expected a little, but Shantotto? Nope. Not a clue. I didn't even play XI so eh.right | |||
