[Garland]

Though the main reason for cutting the game line up short in dissidia, is because of memory and tech restraints, they more or less thought that fielding characters from XI would complicate matters. Commandie, though ignorant as he is, speaks the truth. Because of the subscription fee's and new Play station hardware or PC alternative, XI was skiped by a lot of FF fans. Square believed that it would do so well, that they deemed it in the 1st tier with impulse. In this, they decided that releasing FFXII's mythos into dissidia would anger and receive complaints from FFXI fans, so they decided to cut it at the last game made about 4-5 years ago. Final Fantasy has forever been an expanding universe. If the D&D style FF from the original, and tributes that followed afterwards are "more true" to the franchise then the more Steam Punk- Robo tech styles of some of the others, then you mide as well take out VI too. It had guns and robots, and factories and airships (wait a second, V had a floating robot castle, IV had a Giant robot and a factory, IX had fleets of various airships, i guess they're all not true to the series, not even THE ORIGINAL) Their all different, but they all had more similarities than moogle or chocobo references.
