--Fighting Style: '''Nemesis'''

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: He's essentially the Cloud of the villains -- he moves and attacks so slow it can be hard to land a hit, but when he ''does'' connect, you'll feel it.

In this story, he opposes the Warrior of Light. However, he often goes along with the plans of the other villains purely for their own sake -- he does not truly with to follow their plans blindly, however. He informs Kuja of some of the nature behind the conflict to drive him past his [[Despair Event Horizon|despair]], for example.

--Fighting Style: '''[[Trap Master]]'''

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Is the mastermind behind the game's plot, which involves the heroes and a couple of the villains being [[Unwitting Pawn|Unwitting Pawns]]. And he pulls it off magnificently.

*** '''[[Blood Magic]]''': Exactly the same as Firion's Blood Weapon bonus -- when The Emperor deals HP Damage, [[Life Drain|he gains an equal amount of HP for himself]].

* [[Pitiful Worms|Pitiful Insects]]: He likes using this insult -- one of his victory quotes is even: "An insect, defeat an Emperor?" The heroes are happy to [[Ironic Echo|remind him of it]] after kicking his ass.

* [[Expy]]: A convoluted example. The character Seymour in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' is an [[Expy]] of the Emperor, being similar in story roles, characterization, and even in appearance. Then, in ''Duodecim'', the Emperor's similarities to Seymour are played up for his appearance in [[Final Fantasy X|Yuna]]'s chapter and even using his final battle theme during his fight against Yuna in her chapter as well -- thus, making the original an expy of the expy!

--Fighting Style: '''[[Omnicidal Maniac|Bane Of Life]]'''

[[File:Dissidia_Golbez_5914.jpg|frame|"You're naive, Cecil. Even knowing betrayal and despair, you would depend on the whims of others?"]]

{{quote|Voiced by: Takeshi Kaga (Japanese), Peter Beckman (English)}}

--Fighting Style: '''Thaumaturge'''

* [[The Big Guy]]: He's [http://www.schala-kitty.net/pandaemonium/resource/heightchart.html huge] -- Golbez is 8'2 according to that link, an inch behind Garland and tying with Exdeath. This means he towers over every other character except for Gilgamesh by almost two feet or more. And in his third outfit, even without the armor he's still absolutely massive -- in fact, close comparison of the character models reveals that the 3rd outfit model is ''larger'' than the armored one!

{{quote|Voiced by: Tarō Ishida (Japanese), Gerald C. Rivers (English)}}

--Fighting Style: '''Entropic Adversary'''

* [[The Slow Walk]]: Slowest in the game -- Ultimecia is the second-slowest character, and in an excercise done to determine how fast each character was by having them walk across the World of Darkness arena, Exdeath ''still'' took almost three times as long as her to make it across.

[[File:DissidiaKefkaArtwork_8358.jpg|frame|"Hopes aren't worth dirt! I'm going to destroy everything!" ]]

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Shigeru Chiba]] (Japanese), [[Dave Wittenberg]] (English)}}

--Fighting Style: '''Mad Mage'''

* [[Meta Guy]]: Makes several [[Aside Glance|Aside Glances]] (though the way Kefka does it it ends up more like a [[Jump Scare]]), occasionally hums the Victory Fanfare when he wins, and hangs many a lampshade. An interesting way to think of Kefka is that he's fully aware about the video game he and the others are in and likes to troll them with his knowledge of the cliches they embody.

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: The actual motivation behind Kefka's all-consuming desire to destroy everything is his firm belief that nothing in life matters or has any value. Any time you get a glimpse underneath the [[Ax Crazy]] [[Monster Clown]] personality, the hints of how much this drives ''everything'' he does are almost [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]].

[[File:Sephiroth_Dissidia_Artwork_2688.jpg|frame|"Accept it. I am the one who guides you -- forever."]]

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]] (Japanese), George Newbern (English)}}

--Fighting Style: '''Focused Blade'''

* [[Death From Above]]: Hell's Gate combines this with [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]] -- Sephiroth drops onto opponents from above with his sword held down to stab them, just as he did when he killed Aerith.

[[File:Dissidia_Ultimecia_2283.jpg|frame|"Foolish boy. Everything is an illusion. Your hopes, your friends -- Your life itself -- shall fade."]]

* [[Actually a Doombot]]: Tifa soundly kicks Ultimecia, only for Ultimecia to shatter into crystal -- it was actually a Manikin.

[[File:Dissidia_Kuja_1977.jpg|frame|"As one who shares your fate, I simply had to see how your heart would break upon realizing how powerless you truly are."]]

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Akira Ishida]] (Japanese), JD Cullum (English)}}

--Fighting Style: '''[[Not Quite Flight|Graceful Glider]]'''

* [[Power Floats]]: He's not called the "Graceful Glider" for nothing--while the others disregard gravity, Kuja is actively giving it both middle fingers. The only time he ever physically touches ''anything'', much less the ground, is if his opponent introduces him to it the hard way.

[[File:Dissidia_Jecht_1879.jpg|frame|"Pesky little runt. Who do you take after?"]]

{{quote|Voiced by: Masuo Amada (Japanese), [[Gregg Berger]] (English)}}

--Fighting Style: '''Brutal Blitzer'''

* [[Theme Naming]]: His attacks--Jecht Rush, Jecht Block, Jecht Stream, Jecht Blade, Ultimate Jecht Shot, and in ''Dissidia 012'' we get Jecht Beam. The only attack of his that doesn't fit the theme is Triumphant Grasp, which was "Jecht Finger" in the Japanese release.

* [[Detached Sleeves]]: In his 3P costume, surprisingly enough--they're either this or [[Opera Gloves]] (''[[Real Men Wear Pink|manly]]'' opera gloves, mind).

[[File:Gabranthiddia_Art_1581.jpg|frame|"There is no future for the bystander, as there is naught he can defend."]]

Judge Magister Gabranth is one of five elite generals who command the armies of the Archadian Empire. As a military intelligence specialist, Gabranth is privy to information that could shake the land of Ivalice to its foundation. He shares a hidden, tragic past with one of the heroes, Basch Von Rosenburg. In ''Dissidia'', Gabranth can only fight effectively in EX Mode--his Brave attacks are slow and weak, and his HP attack charges his EX Bar and does no damage. However, once in EX Mode he becomes a nigh unstoppable force of destruction.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Gabranth's Quickenings, as stated above, are all just replicas of [[Final Fantasy XII|his brother Basch's]] Quickenings, just with different names: Basch had Fulminating Darkness, Ruin Impendent, and Flame Purge. The animations also differ slightly--Fulminating Darkness is blue-green, Fulminating Oblivion is red-orange, etc.

* [[Mask of Power]]: See the description of his [[Super Mode|EX Mode]] above. Normally, Gabranth is pitiful. So pitiful, in fact, that he can't even whittle away your HP under normal circumstances. However, once he ''does'' power up... oh boy... [[Took a Level In Badass|Gabranth turns into a]] ''[[Unstoppable Rage|nigh-unstoppable force of nature]]''. [[Game Breaker|He gets so badass]] he can out-muscle [[SNK Boss|Chaos]] easily while in [[Super Mode|EX Mode]]--his combos are just as long and powerful as Chaos', he attacks just as quickly, and in the small arena his HP attacks are just as difficult to avoid.

** Edges towards [[Designated Villain]]--attacking Cosmos is the only villainous action we see him do, and it's understable why he goes after her when you think his alternative for ending the war was to challenge [[SNK Boss|Chaos]]. And, considering his opponent guarding Cosmos is [[Sociopathic Hero|Shantotto]]...

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: In ''Dissidia'' when fought in his storyline he wasn't too impressive, having weak boosters and some accessories to improve his EX Mode duration, but he still had to charge up his gauge and could be killed before that happened. In ''Dissidia 012'' though they gave him the Puppeteer's Wheel, five "EX Mode" boosters, a Hyper Ring and an Attractorb. The result is that he enters battle with a full EX Gauge, will likely remain in EX Mode for the entire fight, has a nice buff to his base damage, and will constantly be absorbing all the EX Force in the arena so you can't get it for yourself. About all you can do is charge your Assist Gauge to try and EX Break him to force him out of EX Mode -- assuming before you challenged him you didn't kill your Assist on the board to get access to the two chests they were guarding. Oops.
