I never take anything for granted. With that said, I do think he has a point with his video. It could even explain the lack of Chocobo costume. If Cacamallow is real, it doesn't nessecairly mean that Chocobo can't wait for another fighterif you know what I mean. And lets also remember that they waited with 3H spirits because of Byleth.....
Who says it can't be both?
I mean, it could happen but I just don’t see double dipping of two Square characters in the same pass.
Weirder **** has happened in Smash Brothers.
Nah, I can see a few Nintendo characters in the pass, but once that character from that third party company is in, it’s GG for everyone else. I’ll guarantee you they’re not gonna hold off Geno’s costume for the second time.
I disagree with your first point. Just because they are adding Arms, it does not mean that majority will be first party, or the rest will be it for that matter.
Ok, hold up. The 3H spirits don't even work as a counter here. If we were getting FF7 spirits, they would've 100% come at launch. This isn't a "let's hold off on FF7 spirits for Pass 2 at launch because we apparently planned Pass 2 November of 2018 as well." That doesn't even make any sense. They did not hold off on FF7 spirits for a potential rep in Pass 2 because there wasn't any guarantee of a second pass that far in advance.
Forgot about that.. I stand by the rest though
What about Alternate Colorations?!
1. Default
Normal Colours (Defualt)
That's what I'm hoping for. Season 2 being even better than the first would be very much welcome
Almost like forcing exclusives makes your console look better. There's virtually no reason to own an XBone if you have a PC, or hell even a PS4 at this point.
100% this, and it's not just because I have negative-bias against FF7. I'd be so pissed if this happened and Geno got screwed over yet again.
I highly doubt we'd get 2 of the same third-party company in an FP. Not saying it's impossible though; anything is possible I guess. Long as Geno comes first so I don't have to flip over seeing Sephiroth ruin Geno over.
I both love and hate these vague posts of yours. Love because you're not outright spoiling, but hate because UGH I JUST WANNA KNOW ALREADY! TELL ME YOUR SECRETS, FATMAN! DX
Of Geno? Hell if I know. At least one will be Malo-colored though methinks, maybe another for Smithy, Croco, etc. Also probably his poisoned-coloration.
Seeing as it was 60% really well-received, 20% eh, 20% justified outrage, I'd be fine with S2 following suit or being even better. Maybe 66% really well-received and 33% eh?
What would your reaction be (if we play with the idea) of Sepiroth and Geno being in the same trailer? I mean, they are technically both soldiers

It honestly just follows what I've been preaching forever in that Season 2 has a huge sense of finality to it not only because of the rumored degrees of fan service it's supposedly going to have but the scale of it. I don't think Season 2 is going to be like the Fighter's Pass. I think every pack is going to have some degree of a "wow" factor to it. For example, the hypothetical Namco pack basically being a total blow out of Namco content and not just Tales, Tekken, whatever. I think that's the intention and why I give credence to what I've heard. Geno wouldn't just be SMRPG stuff, he would probably come pretty heavy handed with Square content because it paints a picture of Nintendo trying to proactively squash sour grapes. They can't satisfy everyone but they're going to try pretty damn hard to at least tip their hats to as many fans as possible.
As much as I want to believe you since you are a good person I trust, the first pass really didn't do anything to impress me characterwise besides blowing my lid for Banjo (in a good way). So, while I personally think an ARMS character is a better start than Joker (this is my distaste for most JRPGs kicking in), I am still incredibly cautious that the second pass will not do much to impress me again.
I gotta admit, Xbone and PS really underestimate the power of exclusives. Hell, exclusives are pretty much 100% of Nintendo's claim to fame. They literally own at least three of the most lucrative franchises in the gaming industry (Mario, Pokemon and Zelda) which is partly why Smash Bros is such a monster. They took the most iconic and powerful gaming franchises in the world and threw them into one addictive multiplayer experience. I think Nintendo's other advantage is that they are pretty much the only gaming company left that takes couch co-op into consideration. The other two companies cater almost exclusively to single men between the ages of 16 and 40. In the case of Xbone, narrow that to SHOOTING GAME ENTHUSIASTS between the ages of 16 and 40. At the rate consoles are going, I don't think it'll be long before they simply fuse with the PC industry anyway. I mean look at the next generation: Both the PS5 and XSEX are basically just gaming towers with specialized controllers.
If this is based on any sorta insider info he may have, then I'd be one to believe that's good news since he only talked about Sora as an example as to why he won't be in Smash (at least from the part I saw).
Sephiroth's biggest hangup is that if he were a pack character then it would just be a repeat of Final Fantasy VII content. It would be redundant. I'm very hard pressed to believe that they would justify two Final Fantasy VII stages, especially in the light that they couldn't even do this for Megaman, Pac-Man, or Street Fighter. They couldn't even negotiate literal jpegs for the base game, I have a hard time seeing a full FFVII spirit board too. Going even further, the only time third party franchises have gotten multiple characters is when there's Echoes and there's no way in hell that Sephiroth would be a Cloud echo for a sprawling list of reasons. Even on a basic level, Sephiroth is canonically at least half a foot taller than Cloud so even their size doesn't line up.
Just a question but do the Mii Costume rumors include characters that were already Mii Costumes in Smash 4, or are these completely new
square already confirmed that FF7R will not be on the switch
If Geno comes first, I'd react with a: "HELL YEAH"/very loud screaming and "meh but idc, I got Geno". If it's the other way around, I'd get furious, but then be like "oh okay whatever" (after getting Geno) in reaction to Seph.What would your reaction be (if we play with the idea) of Sepiroth and Geno being in the same trailer? I mean, they are technically both soldiers
Which I'm down for, provided Geno's the playable fighter. I've said it this whole time, Geno and 5 Urshifu, let's ****ing GO, I wouldn't care who else gets in (though that's now impossible, so I'll take ARMS + Geno + 4 Urshifu).
Seriously. AFAIK, Geno has more evidence than literally any other character (besides an ARMS rep, obviously) right now, unless there's another with a mountain of evidence like this.
I'm in the same boat as you Pat; Joker and Hero didn't do much for me personally either, but I'm not going to not acknowledge that they were pretty big picks. Hero probably got the same Eastern reaction as BK did Western. Joker was huge for a lot of people. Overall, they picked 3/5 really great picks for the pack, 1 very... eh pick; not bad, just didn't make waves like the first 3 did, and 1 that just upset nearly everyone and got Sakurai himself to admit he thinks there's too many FE/Sword-wielding characters. If they go with that same level of picks, I don't see Season 2 being all that bad.
Basically, yep. Plus they have a much longer nostalgia-train going, back since the EARLY 80s! PS1 was out in December of '94 and Xbox November of 2001; Sony has some nostalgia for sure, but not nearly as much as Nintendo, and Xbox is essentially "hope you like Halo".
I would love if Microsoft stopped making Xbox and just focused on PC instead. While there are 3 consoles, people do forget that the PC exists and can easily run games of all consoles, since it's the most versatile "console" ever. It can range from being as weak as a Gamecube (or even worse if you still have old as hell tech) to being stronger than what the PS7 will be.
Like I said, in jest! I also do plan on taking a look at FF7R when/if it comes to PC. Despite being annoyed of its bandwagoning, the remake did catch my eye, but notr while it's exclusive to a console I have no plans on ever buying til it's a previous gen or two (and I can get a used one for little).
I feel like this doesn't even require a confirmation from the company; Square's a total diva and wouldn't dare put their previous FF7 on a "peasant console" that obviously can't run it.
Plus, they couldn't even ask for Cloud's original artwork for FF7 for the spirits, they had to use the Ultimate renders only. It's why I find it very hard to believe Sephiroth would be our Square rep. Geno would have significantly fewer legal hang ups
I don’t know if you actually read my post but that’s pretty much what I said.
First and foremost, I highly disagree with you that he would just be a Cloud echo... It's just the same mentality as Banjo would be a Duck Hunt echo. The only "issue" that would come for him moveset wize would be his sword, and even that shouldn¨t really be an issue..
Think you got a little confused there, he’s saying the only 3rd party franchises with 2 reps have echoes, and there’s no way for Sephiroth to be an echo of Cloud.
Just a reminder that while the main company is called "Square Enix", Square and Enix are still different companies that handle things differently, in the same way Activision and Blizzard most definitely handle things differently (as someone who still plays WoW for some ungodly reason), despite the company name now being "ActivisionBlizzard". They're sister companies to each other, but not wholly just one singular company. Saying to look at how they handle DQ will be the same at how they handle FF isn't accurate in the slightest. Hell, we didn't even get any Square content in that DQ (Enix) DLC pack.
No worries, I knew you were just jesting. As for FF7R, it's a lot better than the online trolls made it out to be. I know it's the "edgy" thing these days to **** on anything with bandwagoners, but honestly I'm loving it so far. The battle system is great, character development is top notch and of course the graphics are amazing. Zero load screens and one of the few games I've seen where there is literally no difference in quality between the cinematics and the actual gameplay. I can understand if it's not too hype inducing for others though.
TBH it's the FF7 hype that's annoying to me, not the FF7R hype. It's a bit different when it's a brand new game vs being 23 years old.
I actually wouldn’t mind if Sephiroth ended up on the pass. I feel like additional villains are always welcomed, it would make the game feel more complete to get a bit more ff7 content in there.
Fair... that doesn¨t change the fact though that Square Enix is usually less "stingy" when it comes to DLC vs base game. I mean, they are allowing Laura Croft to be DLC for both Rainbow Six Seige and Brawlhalla. They have Noctis in Tekken, 2B in Soul Calibur (and that is a legal matter between Platinum and Square) I might have missed something but you get my point. Add this with Nintendo being extremely good terms with Square right now...
Gotcha... with that said, I think the "legal matter" is more of a legit counter-argument then "lack of echoes". Just look at Kirby and Animal Crossing.. Hell, neither Pokemon or Zelda has officially an echo.
Agreed. If there is something that this game lack, then it sure is villains (which is why I would prefer Heihachi over Loyd tbh)
