Not that this is news to anyone who's had the demo long enough, I'm sure, but here's a breakdown of what those who don't can expect from it:
There are 4 rounds with 10 available opponents, made up of even parts Cosmos and Chaos characters. During the odd numbered rounds, you will fight one of the Cosmos fighters (WoL, Firion, Squall, Zidane, or Tidus), while even rounds put you up against those from Chaos (Garland, CoD, Golbez, Kefka, or Jecht). The first two rounds will always take place at Order's Sanctuary, round three is held at the Temple of Fiends, and the final round is randomly chosen from World of Darkness, Moon Canyon, Dimension Fortress, Kefka's Tower, Crystal World, or Dream's End. The first round never spawns EX cores, and each round increases dramatically in difficulty. Round Four is a healthy challenge.
Emperor, Bartz, Exdeath, Ultimecia, Kuja, Shantotto, and Gabranth are not available in any form, though the latter two's exclusion shouldn't be a surprise anyway.
Also, I've been doing some reading and in the actual storymode there is repeated reference to the fact that these sorts of battles between Cosmos and Chaos happen repeatedly, and details from the previous one are mentioned here and there. It was in this earlier battle that Shantotto and Gabranth were actively involved, with Jecht as a warrior for Cosmos and a slave-crown wearing Terra fighting for Chaos. Also of note was Sephiroth's apparent suicide during the battle, though he claims that it was done in an attempt to grow more powerful later.
I thought it was interesting, at least.
