You're under the impression that representing an entire series is something they care about, especially from a historic but puny franchise.
Fixed.
It slightly does show a little, but it's barely much at all. The Ifrit summon in Midgar is actually from FFVIII(for whatever reason, they didn't use the normal model. The Spirit does however use the FFVII design) and the Chocobo Hat is based upon the design from a DS spin-off. Which pretty much shows either way they're laser-focused on VII.
Alright, I finally filled one of these out. I’m glad to see Gengar as an option. If for some reason we get an older Pokémon I think it’s near the top of the list for most likely but I’m still expecting a Gen 9 Pokémon if we only get one. Out of all the options on the poll for Gen 9, I’d love to see Ceruledge. My other favorites from this Gen are Lokix, Great Tusk, and Koraidon. If we include Legends Arceus, I’d love to see either Sneasler or Hisuian Zoroark.
Well, I might have some good news for you:

PS1. Chocobo Dungeon started on Playstation 1.
Capcom:
To be fair Atlus themselves never do.
Forgive me, but what does this mean, exactly? Don't mean to sound dumb, just wanted to make sure on what the "close" part means, though I think I have an idea of what it means.
Hopefully no one raises any issues before it's actually a done deal. Or hopefully someone does if you're in the anti merger camp.
I kinda am in the anti-merger camp, but to be honest, my stance is a bit complicated.
Konami:
Looks like I had it off either way too. The design is apparently based upon the specific Wii game itself, though the Ultimate version takes more from the Switch/PS4 port. My guess is since the DS version was the latest, it's loosely based more on that than the Wii one in 4.
Let me guess: you just wanna see Bobby Kotick get the boot at this point?
I was a huge fan of Final Fantasy back in the PS2 days. Final Fantasy X was my first FF but I went back and played III, IV, VI, VII, VIII, and IX as well as XII, XIII, and XV. Overall, I’d say IX is my favorite (as well as possible favorite game ever) followed by X and then VII. Despite VII, only being third, Sephiroth is my favorite character in the series and Vincent Valentine is probably the coolest playable character in the series. While I’d love some varied representation (particularly from IX and X), I’m perfectly content with only getting characters from VII. Even though he’s be yet another character from FFVII, I think Vincent could still be one of the coolest and most unique characters in Smash. I’d love to get either him or a summoner character (my favorite being Garnet) in the next Smash.
Very funny, wise guy! Still, that is not it.
Well, in my defense, even some anti-merger people are in favor of this specifically because they want Bobby Kotick gone, golden parachute be damned...
Well, maybe it is kinda that for me. That said, here is my stance.
Not technically true. Final Fantasy does come with Chocobos (both spirit and Mii costumes) and Moogles, both which are recurring characters in their series in the same way Jack Frost and Pixie are in theirs. Also, if SMT is a historic series, then why wouldn't Nintendo care about that? If you put that together with Persona, then you got both a huge franchise (not puny like you said) and a historic one and I see no reason for Nintendo to ignore that.
Nice.

BREAKING: The UK's CMA has DENIED Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard King over concerns of cloud gaming competition damages. pic.twitter.com/gxGAoNCq4Y

funny, i thought the uk was in favour of capitalism. to an insane degree
That does seem crazy. Say, how would this deal have affected cloud gaming, anyway?
Haven’t the faintest idea
I... don't know. They were kinda vague about it, TBH. Heck, Microsoft had actually made deals with the likes of Nvidia to ensure ActiBlizz games would come to that platform, so you could argue NOT allowing the deal hurts cloud gaming more than it helps it.
Neither do I. Cloud gaming did not seem to be that much of a thing Microsoft was planning with buying Activision-Blizzard. With that, the reason that the CMA came up with may have been biased, if you know what I mean.
Ok, I will
Forgive me if I come off as doubtful, but would you happen to have any data and stats to back up that claim? I've seen people suggest MS would do that, but I haven't seen any data myself...
That... is not true in the slightest. When you are an international company that does way more than just videogames you can't just decide to ignore the law. You'd have to restructure the entire company and it would be a colossal PR disaster.
My bad; he was the only one I could think of since they’re the ones who develop the KH games. I was originally going to go with Lara Croft, but Square Enix sold off her series for NFTs for some god forsaken reason.
Probably the same reason they thought making an AI game was a good idea...
The UK represents less than 3% of the global video game market.
There's nothing against the law about it. If your merger is denied by a single country you can simply decide to...proceed with your merger, and just not do business in that country anymore.
That would certainly be a more significant issue.
