    Easy. Thancred, Louisoux, Gaius, and the Wandering Minstrel representing FFXIV.

    Thancred could follow the Captain Commando/Kagami Kyousuke approach by having his special moves involve the other Scions. So one move would call Yda to help out, maybe knock the enemy back to the opposite side of the screen, do a pose and leave. Another special move would have Y'shtola and Papalymo using magic to juggle the enemy a bit, and so on. The super would obviously involve all Scions.

    Gaius would be tricky (maybe a power character like Saotome Jin but with slightly faster movement) though I would love to see a super move where he'd use the signal flare from the 1.0 cutscene, the agrius suddenly appears in the background and blasts the opponent with cannon fire.

    At the risk of upsetting people, I'd make the minstrel sort of a joke character. A bit of zoning (he is an archer, after all) but his supers would be silly stuff like a stampede of people on gobbue mounts or something along those lines.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
