More of the interview with FF Dissidia Director Takeshi Arakawa has been translated and even more tantalizing info confirmed for the game. The best bits being confirmed Wi-Fi play, the ability to trade and (presumably) create playing styles for the CPU controlled characters to use, the promise that customization for characters is so in depth that even in battles between the same characters the battles would be different, and that players can save the best bits of the game and access them from the menu.

It's here that he then discloses some information about what gamers can expect from Dissidia at TGS. "Although characters from all the series from "I" to "X" will appear, we've yet to show all of the characters from "V", "VI" and "VII" who will appear. I think we will be able to show a few of them at this TGS."

Six characters will be playable at the show.

Arakawa tells the magazine that it was difficult deciding which parts of FF lore deserved a place in the game - and that the development team was made to replay and study the fan communities of each individual FF game. Opinions were still divided amongst the staff, and Arakawa resolved these issues by putting some of the larger decisions to a vote.

He confirms that players will be able to fight against each other over Wi-Fi, adding another, as yet largely unmentioned piece of information, saying that players will be able to 'Trade' customized AI styles for the CPU to use.

When asked to describe the main game style, Arakawa explained the basic premise. "The main game is a single player campaign where you level up and shop in order to customize your character. The main part consists of using that customized character to fight." He went on to elaborate the amount of options available meant that few characters would appear the same, even in a multiplayer Squall vs. Squall battle.

Players will also be able to save segments of the game they most enjoy and play them again quickly and easily from the menu.
