If we're getting a japanese character to go with Shovel Knight, I'd go with Monster Hunter. The series is huge in Japan and is more associated with Nintendo than Final Fantasy.
Plus, SK and MH are both in armor and have weapons. They'd make a nice DLC bundle.

Wait... Sakurai loves Lightning? Oh god she's the worst of all. I'd beg him for Cloud over Lightning. haha

Also, it probably wouldn't be "Black Mage" it'd be Vivi if we were getting "A" Black Mage.
Yeah, he's posted about her on his twitter and talked about it in one of his articles I believe. As for black mage/vivi. Square seems to like just black mage as he and vivii aren't much different. Vivi just has an actual name pretty much. As Tree Gelbman Tree Gelbman pointed out, the moogles and chocobos( may be spelled wrong...) are also very iconic. Moogles I could see potentially work, I mean people want slime from dragon quest. They are kind of similar in that they are strange creatures with small bodies but are both iconic to their franchises. So if Sakurai wanted to and made a moogle work, I'd be down for it. Plus then we get some awesome finally fantasy 7 music. Having the man with the machine gun as a track would be epic.

Lol. So is it a male vs woman thing then?

Look, she's not my favorite character, but you can't use the ''He thought he was Zack" thing to give Cloud a pass. It's B.S. anytime someone does it.

The only problem with Lightning is that she got far too many installments and as said strange creator bias because of her feminity, when Terra, Tifa, Yuna and Aerith were all as much lead heroines as she was without even leading a game in the ladies of 7's cases.
I can agree with you there, honestly Cloud doesn't have that much of a personality either but... I dunno. I feel like he's less annoying. I'd probably like her better if XIII-3 didn't get super weird with her. Like that automatically made me not like her way more, because how weird they got about her.

(in b4 Sakurai does Cloud AND Lightning as an alt because he can't make up his mind though, and honestly she's kind of basically just the female version of him anyway)

So, from what I've been reading in this thread. Apparently some guy is claiming that some more placeholder spots were added into the game's code and the TCRF as well as @shinyquagsire23 are checking to see if that even happened.
Do we even have an update on this yet? Extra placeholder spots would really change the playing field and I want to know if it's true or not.

Shinyquaqsire hasn't posted anything yet, so no. We may get update later tonight or tomorrow.

RTB didn't find any or he said he hadn't found any hints of new characters, which I assume applies to adding more slots.

Bravely Default isn't iconic. While I love the look of the game and have wanted to try it for a while. I'd be really upset if any Square series got love before Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy is Square as much as Megaman and Street Fighter are Capcom.
We can argue that Dragon Quest is as important as Final Fantasy, for me they are head to head.

Honestly if there were in fact more slots, more than one random guy no one has ever seen would have posted about it.

It was probably just some troll with unfounded claims who was bored or misinformed

That's true, but I think that depends on what side of the world you are on.

Worldwide (especially in the West) and all together? Final Fantasy.

In the East? It's both.

Really, I would be fine with any FF as long as they debuted during the NES/SNES era
Black Mage would be cool because I really want more spellcasters
Moogles can use lances and dance in FFVI(it's not what you think, look it up)
Chocobo for the salt in reactions
Cecil because he is an interesting character
Celes because she is best protag
And Terra because... uhh... she was the protag during the first half of the game

Also, it's not Cloud>Lighting or Cloud<Lighting or Cloud=Lighting
Both of them were nothing but mistakes and belong in the trash

So I haven't been here in the last week because I've been busy being tied up in my friend's basement, being forced to watch Sword Art Online (not that it's a bad anime, I just don't like being tied up and watching it against my will).

So what's new besides that update that doesn't have Shovel Knight?

I like Pre XIII-2 Lighting

Everything after that was awful and Toriyama (not that one) has strange waifuisms about Lightning that fans have pointed out since Lighting Returns came out.

Besides, considering her sister, her sister's boyfriend and Hope are the actual worst characters in the game, acting like Lighting was is very stupid. Besides if you wanna play the whole she's Cloud route, FF VIII beat her there by a mile considering Squall's character for a portion of that game and they are doing it again with Noctis for XV although he's a lot more happier here.

Besides Lighting is more like Swuall because they brood a lot. While Cloud is emotional as hell

Well no one thought we were getting Ryu in Smash either until the datamine happened. As far as Smash goes, Cloud has a fanbase, it's a small fanbase, but it's there anyway. It's worth noting that Sakurai chose Ryu because he's a popular character IN GENERAL and Cloud is very popular.

Having no game on Nintendo (not even a port like Ryu) is what hurts him the most, he does have cameo appearances which could technically count I guess. But either way, he's extremely iconic and popular with the general public eye and a character from the PSX/N64-era would be pretty cool to have regardless.

So personally, I don't have an issue with Cloud.
No games on Nintendo? Threatrhythm, though.

I dunno, Dragon Quest is just as iconic to Square as Final Fantasy is. It might just depend on the person and/or where in the world they are though. I guess in terms of actual characters, Final Fantasy is more well known; in terms of an actual Mascot though, I feel like Slime is more iconic to Square.


All I know is... if we got one other JRPG rep, I'd prefer Jack Frost because personally Atlus beats out Square. haha (also someone needs to get Ice Climbers' abilities if they're not coming back :p )

Squall literally was try hard copycat Cloud for the first half of 8 until the touch of a woman and finding out he was a little orphan boy made him an actual character.

And yes, god, both Snow and Hope are ten times more annoying than Lightning.

RTB's findings only applied to the Wii U version, which doesn't really speak either way anyways as Royu's files were first found on the 3ds anyways.

If I had to have a Square Rep it would be Neku.
DS game, sold surprisingly well all things considered, and while it certainly lacks the iconic factor, I think Neku has a lot to bring to the table in terms of Combat.

Hey, I made a thing; --a gift for these last days of Ballot; I wish luck to every character and fandom competing (even though here are just my 6 personal picks); I was going to post this at Wonder Red's and Inkling's Threads too, but I thought that I was going to be way too intrusive (having no kind of participation before);

if are any of their supporters here, please, accept that. =)

---ah, you can clearly see I'm not an artist by any means, but I tried.
Nah, don't worry, we Wonder Red supporters apreciate new users in the thread
Maybe we can get the supporter list from 100 to 101 with you :'^)
If we're getting a japanese character to go with Shovel Knight, I'd go with Monster Hunter. The series is huge in Japan and is more associated with Nintendo than Final Fantasy.
Plus, SK and MH are both in armor and have weapons. They'd make a nice DLC bundle.
Gonna be honest here
I don't even Monster Hunt but I would love to see them in Smash
If they bring big ass swords even more

I honestly don't see much talk about DQ in the West
And Slime is only recognizable for being a generic enemy used in every RPG ever

And I don't Shishin Megaman Sensei but I would love some Atlus love
And so Etrian Odyssey can get some costumes

Man. Resetti has been seen out of the ground in the games and he still looks weird standing upright.

I'm not giving Cloud a pass. You take that away and he has all the same problems of Lighting. Case and point, Advent Children.
But I could at least ENJOY his presence in the game thanks to that bit. Lightning was a chore to watch and listen to every scene she was in.
It almost sounds to me like you're confusing Lightning with Hope. Lightning might have acted emotionless, but if you paid close attention the whole point (in the first game, at least) was that she was suppressing her emotions because she thought it made her seem stronger. Hope just acted like a brat. Like, I'm really sorry that your mom died, no one deserves that, but that doesn't give you the right to treat everyone like ****.

All this talk of Cloud & Lightning reminded me that they both appear in final fantasy explorers.
Well of course, how else is Namoura gonna stroke his own banana with his characters?
... Oh yeah, Kingdom Hearts.
Oh god please don't put Lighting in Kingdom Hearts.

Hope goes without saying... so I won't even say it since you already did. =P
That doesn't excuse Lightning though. In 13, it PARTIALLY does, but 13-2 and Lightning Returns it does not (Funny how her emotions were taken in that game when we've never gotten to SEE those emotions, way to make me care.) And uuuugh her in Dissidia....
My point is she had 4 chances to change my mind and she didn't.

Neku would be my personal choice if he had a sequel. The World Ends with You is an amazing game, and really should be followed up. I was happy to see him in Kingdom Hearts.

Cloud is the most iconic FF member. I should see if Sakurai has ever talked about the Final Fantasy series *adds to list of things to do*.

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts...what about Sora (Kingdom Hearts)? Does Square own him 100% or does Disney own a part of him? He's also pretty iconic and well known, has a lot of games on Nintendo (handheld). I have a guy commenting on all my posts asking for Sora and Naruto.
