Y’shtola for Smash Bros Ultimate

[DamianFatale]

I know she’s unlikely, but maybe not if a port to the Switch happens. Perhaps DLC? What are your thoughts on this? I really want the devs of Square Enix to request more characters for Smash. Clouds inclusion was nice, but it disappoints me as well. I believe there is way more to Final Fantasy than VII.

[KageTokage]

I'm going to be a stuffy realist and say that if took this long for heavily requested fan-favorites like Ridley and King K.Rool to get in and SE also opted to put a FF character with virtually no presence on Nintendo consoles in over one more readily associated with them (IE, anyone from FF 6 or perhaps Crystal Chronicles), the chances of this happening may as well be zero.

If anything, expect somebody from another SE published game/series on Nintendo consoles. Geno from SMRPG is honestly seemingly highly probable at this point, considering that the game is a cult classic on the level of Mother 2/Earthbound and he was in Smash 4 as a Mii costume and multiple characters have been promoted from that to playables or assist trophies now.

I would be so mad if they put Geno in, but not a VI character. It’s a complete slap in the face to fans of older Final Fantasy games that originated on Nintendo. Then again they put Roy in, when Eliwood is superior, and has a better game, so I’m not surprised. I hope they’ll at least give us a VI character someday, or an XIV character to promote a port of XIV in the event that it happens. Y’shtola would give us unique gameplay. We don’t have very many staff users.

Good lord no, dull as dishwater Y'shtola would be the last character I would choose represent Smash, I'm surprised she was chosen for Dissidia NT honestly.

If it had to be another FF representative, I would choose a Moogle honestly, actually a Moogle as an assist trophy would be neat now that I think about it.

I'd personally pick Raubahn, but Smash has an abundance of swordsmen already.

Both terrible idea's. Cloud is one of the most famous FF character and for most Europeans also there first FF hero. Let's just keep it at 1 FF character and let better suited fighters join the roster.

No thank you, unless Nintendo give "XIV" something back in return i rather no give them anything regardless how much i like smash.
We already give allot of FF character to other of they game yet we never get anything in return from Nintendo.

[Conando]

What in the world are you talking about? Nintendo gets no preferential treatment with FF, in fact they barely get FF games on their platforms. Why would Nintendo owe Square-Enix anything?

But Final Fantasy started on the Nintendo systems, and that should be represented.

[Wiccan026]

Well to be fair Nintendo was one of the first "mainstream" video systems that tons of families had which is why the first games went to Nintendo, it was the only place at the time to go.

Also, I'd rather have a collaboration with an actual series not just a brand... Dark Cloud, Breath of Fire, I could name numerous others but you see the point... and most Nintendo Series I don't think I'd enjoy a cross over/collaboration at all.

Oh not to mention Kingdom Hearts, pretty pretty please.
