FFXII's Judge Set to Appear in Dissidia

A little while back, Square Enix hinted that Final Fantasy XII fans would have something big to look forward to with Final Fantasy: Dissidia. Today, the big surprise came to light: a Judge character -- possibly Gabranth -- will be appearing in the fighter!

This wasn't an official announcement by Square Enix. As promised in a recent developer interview, Dissidia saw its final trailer aired on Japanese television late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. While the trailer was mostly recycled footage, a five second clip at the end showed the Judge character in conversation with Cosmos and Shantotto.

While the trailer didn't let us get a glimpse of combat with the new character, it's presumable that he will be playable. The only question is, will he be selectable from the start, or will you have to unlock him?

This question will probably be answered when Dissidia hits Japanese retail on the 18th.
