Description The pic probably speaks for itself

As simple as it is, it's basically Dissidia-esque artwork for a Final Fantasy character that never made it to the two games. The "Numquam", according to my probably-less-than-trustworthy-English-to-Latin-Dictionary (yep, I did that ), stands for "Never" (please, do correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll go change the title ), which is meant to be something of a pun on the fact that, as unfortunate as it is, it's probably unlikely this particular character will be seen in Dissidia any time soon. Even if the series does continue.

Anyhoo, as you can (hopefully, haha) see, this would be Freya Crescent from Final Fantasy IX. I happen to think she's a seriously cool character, and find it a shame she has kind of too little screentime in the actual game (well, IMO). I mostly used her in-game design (the one by Toshiyuki Itahana), but mixed in some elements from a certain Amano artwork, too (mainly in the hat and her hair).

When Duodecim was still having its new characters announced (before it turned out there would be no new characters from IX, which broke my heart ), I was hoping they'd bring Freya or Beatrix over (or Vivi) :3
I did know Freya was rather unlikely (what with Kain being pretty much confirmed from the get-go, and two dragoons would admittedly have been a little...), but well, a nerd can dream

Oh, and I know I kind of failed to imitate Nomura's style. I'll get there someday, maybe >_<

Final Fantasy 9 has got to be one of my favorite FF games!
If Vivi was in the new Dissidia you would hear my fangirling scream from across the world >.>
Freya looks great in this picture!

Yeah. Especially since Vivi's appearance would likely make both his own fans and the fans of the general classic Black Mage very, very happy
Thanks ^^

True. The voice actors in both Japanese and English have been absolutely amazing so far, but he isn't exactly the easiest character to voice... Or even find a fitting voice for. But I suppose it'd be worth the risk

Freya looks beautiful in this pic, and it is a shame she was never brought back for Kingdom Hearts or Dissidia. I do wish Square-Enix would bring back the Burmecians...they were such a cool species.

Indeed. IX had several interesting species, and Burmecians were really well designed too. I understand they couldn't bring all too many characters to Dissidia, but Kingdom Hearts is definitely a game where Freya would fit in pretty well.

Then again, I suppose KH is only open for characters Nomura designed for the most part... but we can always hope

Thank you

I have to admit, I forgot about Freya at first, too (especially when a friend suggested they might make Beatrix a Warrior of Chaos)

Still, I can only imagine a kick-ass opening cinematic with both Freya and Kain jumping and looking awesome

YA! and if never played 012 Kain...is just impossible to not have fun with! He's so much fun, it's like he can never stop attacking!!

Pixeldusty In reply to ElfMaster64 [2011-06-13 18:37:55 +0000 UTC]

Not to mention his voice actor makes everything he says sound almost ridiculously cool. Both the Japanese and the English one, come to think of it

Left handedness does indeed seem to add cool points to pretty much any character ^^

Thank you

Yeah, Freya is seriously cool, even though she seems to get forgotten rather often. Underrated, sadly yes. Awesome, very much YES.

That's brilliant. I agree, Freya shoulda been in 012. Actually, I woulda been happy with ANY extra from FFIX.

Pixeldusty In reply to Tillefa [2011-06-05 08:33:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was looking forward to new characters from III, VI and IX especially. So yeah... That went well

Well, at least we got Gilgamesh. He was definitely high on my list too

Thanks ^^
