Twitter user HDKirin says, "New Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade character to be revealed next week. Looks like it might be Golbez?" with the comparison below:
If the hunch is right, then Golbez may be this month's character on the villain's side. Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade never forgets villains that made the story an amazing path to traverse.
One famous villain is Kefka from Final Fantasy VI with the protagonist Terra Branford. Aside from the horns and spikes protruding from Golbez' shoulder armor and helm, other characters are yet to be unveiled along with him.
