On the one hand, why would they go with Apex Legends instead of something more iconic, like Mass Effect? On the other hand, EA is EA. As long as they get money in the end, they'll even do the dastardly crime of checks notes listening to their fans. Still, don't see it happening.
Aaaannnnnddddd you jinxed it.
Um. Wut?
A new game & franchise doesn't necessarily translate to a new/innovative character though. That's a design thing. Also, there's a stark difference between adding someone who tends to share the spotlight with someone who's on the roster and adding Baby Rosalina.

already put it much better than me, but it begs to be repeated: we aren't just supposed to look at patterns and assume they will hold. That's not how the scientific method works. We're supposed to figure out the reason behind those patterns. If we can't, then it's equally likely that the pattern is one we haven't figured out, or even a coincidence. Just looking at patterns and assuming they will hold up, until they don't, then changing perspectives is a good way to fail at predicting anything. Hell, the only pattern that's reliably held is that the characters discussed usually don't get in and that the theories proposed usually fail; why don't we work by those patterns, instead? At least we'd have less blind spots that way.
We had a generic tourney last week correct? if the pattern is to be followed we should get spirits. Whether or not they are new spirits is unknown to all. Nintendo has not followed the pattern in the past though
I suggested it to friends in a discord conversation because I had read a datamine of Three Houses and they had songs associated with every existing Fire Emblem amiibo + one song left over from Three Houses. It wasn’t some super impossible guess.
Ok sure I'm using hyperbole, but to say that Byleth was widely expected is a complete lie.
The reason the reasoning is different now is, simply put, because “hypotheses” change when confronted with new evidence, to more accurately predict an outcome.

referenced earlier, because it would be considered “new”.
Paper Mario's chances in shreds.
Octopath Traveler. I think that, until now, those were the only spirits that weren't in the regular rotation.
I'm not sure if you can really consider it FAR more open, considering that your average predictions for the rest of FP2 are still a bunch of third parties with occasionally Rex/Gen 8 thrown in. Also:
Whoops!
I expected a new Spirit other than just Olivia or Olly.
I don’t agree with this necessarily, but you get the like because I laughed.
Isn't that Oragami King?
i dunno i think this fares pretty good for my boy gooigi
Nah, I wouldn’t really look into it that way. The only “hypothesizing” we can do here is basically assume Paper Mario, Octopath, and Trials of Mana are out of the running for playable.
No.
Probably just coincidence. Though I do have to wonder why it took so long. Iirc this is the first new Spirit Event after Paper Mario: The Origami King's release.
I see I found another true believer.
