11/19/2008: "Dissidia: Cloud and Sephiroth Gameplay Details"
IGN has an article up today which features details from the latest issue of Famitsu regarding Dissidia: Final Fantasy and more specifically, the game's FFVII characters.
Cloud's moves include several that launch opponents into the air; he also has a skill that resembles his final attack from Advent Children. In "EX Mode", a state during which characters can use special attacks, Cloud can wield the Ultima Weapon and pull off powerful moves that send opponents flying across the map.
As for Sephiroth, according to the article: The FFVII villain has a sword so fast that it can't be spotted -- well, except for the damage that it leaves behind! Takahashi explained that it's possible to delay the timing of your attacks during combos in order to deal more damage. During EX mode, Sephiroth can both fly and use "that" skill. I'm guessing "that" skill could be either one of his powerful Safer Sephiroth moves, like Supernova, or the attack he used to kill Aeris in the original FFVII.
The article also covers Dissidia's story and multiplayer modes. As a reminder, Dissidia comes out in Japan on December 18th, a little less than a month from now.
