Haven’t really played much Falcom yet, but they recently announced Cold Steel 1&2 for Japan on the Switch, so if those get localized, all the Cold Steel entries will be on Switch (1-4).
Oh, good. I noticed only Cold Steel 3 was on there, and got nervous.
The Ones that are currently released are
SharkLord
said, Steam is the primo location for Falcom as all of the Trails and most of the Ys games are on there.
Generally, it seems that their preferred platform is Steam, actually. The most recent version of every Ys game is on there, with the exception of Ys V, which is unlocalized and considered one of the weaker games in the series anyways. I'm less knowledgeable for Trails, but it seems that the Sky and Cold Steel arcs are all there.
The Ones that are currently released are
-Ys Origin
-Ys VIII
-Trails Of Cold Steel III

Sadly, I don't have Steam either, mainly because my laptop is outdated, apparently. Oh well, I guess I'll wait to see if CS 1 and 2 get localised for Switch.
Well, maybe not exactly the same.
December 13, 2019: @ZhugeEX tweets a joke about how the #XboxSeriesX looks like a fridge.

Not quite; There were a couple that came before it, and it seems that Dragon Slayer is considered the first codifier, coming before Ys and even Dragon Quest. That being said, Ys is a more popular and consistently long-running series, still going strong to this day. Dragon Slayer only lives on through spinoffs and spiritual successors, like Tokyo Xanadu and the Trails series, both of which have dropped the Dragon Slayer title.
I mean, considering what I've seen from AI Dungeon, I'm honestly surprised it hasn't tried to go full NSFW yet.
I don't know if this is in response to the bottom part or the actual story but I still agree.
I’m not sure how to react to this...
The NES is the most important console of all-time. Its success SAVED gaming after the crash. There’s a high chance that we wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for the NES. This coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy NES games.Why look at Castlevania when our first Konami character is Snake which by the time he joined Brawl is the face of Konami. Also why do you think NES game is always being put at a high pedestal than other console which felt. I dunno, really bias?
Also the Mii Costume could be said to Hayabusa which by design itself is simplistic and really could occupy multiple classes (except Gunner) and fit perfectly as a Deluxe Costume. You want to use his outfit on Mii Swordfighter? BOOM! he will use his katana. Oh, you want to put his costume on Brawler? BAM! no sword only fist and even one of Brawler's special is similar to the Izuna Drop.
Pretty much this. I’m a casual Fortnite fan; I played a good amount of it in early 2018 right before it became a juggernaut & I’ve been playing a bit during this new Marvel event. It’s a pretty fun game. I like how goofy it is as well as how much support it’s gotten; yeah it’s a cash cow but I feel the developers care.

Ezio would be great. I saw a moveset a couple months ago that would’ve been fun; I wish I saved it but the forward tilt was Ezio throwing coins which won me over. Rayman is cool & all but Ezio should be the first Ubisoft character.As I just posted in the Social Thread, I got done marathoning a few games in a certain series, and after doing so, while I don't necessarily know the likelihood of them becoming playable (depends on whether or not a certain Mii Fighter costume from Fighters Pass 1 has any impact), I'm now throwing my Smash support behind a certain character I've grown to love these past couple weeks...

"Ees," as in geese without the G.
Back to the rock I go then.
haha what the ****
If anything them not mentioning Estelle looks sus to me, I think she's popular enough among Falcom characters to be considered. All of this assuming Falcom is getting a character, of course, which is a separate matter. If I was Falcom's president I'd try to avoid to mention the name of the character I know is getting in Smash, even if it's just in case.

We're probably/hopefully not getting an Overwatch rep, but even then this guy only shows up at checks notes "high noon".
Trails in the Sky doesn't require much in the way of a powerful PC, and are reasonably priced on Steam/GOG(not to mention they go on sale fairly often). For example, here is what you need for Sky FC according to Steam:

Sounds like the average Crusader Kings game.
I'd assume so, yes. It does kind of beg the question of who Sakurai / Furukawa would prefer. And as a complete outsider to Falcom's stuff, I do wonder which of those three would be considered the frontrunner if it appears to be that relatively close.If anything them not mentioning Estelle looks sus to me, I think she's popular enough among Falcom characters to be considered.

About Adol yes, it doesn't make sense. I think he would qualify as a swordfighter. I guess his comment was because of how Ys games usually play and all that, I guess?
Also there's this interview from September 2018, where they asked Kondo, Falcom's president, if they would be okay with Adol in Smash Ultimate, and he basically said they would be delighted. At least, that's what says google translate:

Then the other interview you're alluding to, which I don't remember when happened (it was last year, I think), Kondo certainly talked about Rean. If I'm not mistaken Rean is his favourite character so there's that. But if Nintendo or Sakurai wanted another character they would get that one, unless Nintendo and Sakurai approached Falcom for a character, no matter who, and then decide which one would get in once they started negotiations with Falcom. But I think this isn't really a likely scenario, I'd guess Sakurai would at least have someone in mind before approaching Falcom.
Is this a tease for a tournament where one can only play as Zombie and Enderman?

Because Fortnite, and to a lesser extent Overwatch, is hot and popular. It gets shown everywhere in the gaming landscape. And if you don't like it, then you naturally get of sick. Add to the fact that young kids play it, and you get the perfect recipe for hate and apathy.
I think it's more that he couldn't really develop a clear image of how Adol would play. Dunno why he'd be harder than Rean, but maybe it's because Ys has gone through so many different gameplay shifts over the years that he isn't sure exactly what to focus on. There's also the fact that some gameplay elements might not fit Smash as well as others, such as the bump system.If anything them not mentioning Estelle looks sus to me, I think she's popular enough among Falcom characters to be considered.

Adol or Estelle are easily the frontrunners, being the faces of Falcom's biggest series. Who's more likely than the other, I don't know. Honestly, I'm not even sure if we can measure the distance between them, what with all the unknown variables.

I don't speak for everyone, of course, but personally, I actually took a good look at Fortnite back when it was a co-op survival game (what would later become Save the World). However, I pretty much lost all of that interest once they changed direction and went full pop culture/battle royale. That, along with Epic's shenanigans, pretty much killed whatever faith I could have had in the game.
I wanted to highlight this portion of your post. Not saying you specifically think this, but people do in general.
