A Square Enix rep should not be:
Cloud
Lighting
Any protagonist after 7, basically
Protagonists from series with one game only(RIP Crono and Neku)
A SE rep should be:
One of the FF1 classes
A SNES era protagonist
DQ thingy
Sora(*raises flameshield*)
Someone else I forgot
But...FFVI...
I just came here to say that I had a very vivid dream last night that we had a Nintendo Direct next week that revealed the Ballot Winner was Baby Daisy. She was being added as a fully unique newcomer, but in recognition of the characters popularity overall, Peach was going to get a true Daisy alt.. Both would get an amiibo.

Don't worry though, it wasn't a premonition. They put her character page between Roy and Lucas on the official website, which isn't consistent with how they have added them. Confirmed fake!

I... never said anything agaisnt a FFVI character
I would take Celes but both her and Terra aren't even as recognizable as Cecil tho
Everyone remembers about Kefka when thinking of FFVI
My personal pick would be Black Mage since he's the most recognozable FF1 class

Bro. Spyro is a gaming icon. Jack Frost isn't anywhere close. Skylanders alone has generated over $3b of revenue. Spyro's chances may be minimal, but they exist. Jack's don't.

So Spyro is more likely than Jack Frost by default.
Sorry I'm late, was out.

Uh, you're kinda being funny there. Do you realize how popular Persona is? Also, Skylanders isn't Spyro. It has him playable. It's not even a Spyro title. Him being in the game didn't help sales.

SMT IV got tons of sales as did Digital Devil Summoner 2s remake. Atlus is getting more popular, and now that they're going to have a crossover with one of Nintendo's best IPs (strengthening their relationship even more) I don't see why a nearly dead character should get in over a character who's getting even more popular.

Squeenix used to publish CoD games in Japan.

Why not a rep from there? This game clearly needs more 360 noscope 420yolo dank memes

Let's just put Mickey Mouse in Smash and call it a day, right?

Sora's fully owned by Disney, not Square Enix, and Mickey Mouse would be a much more ideal choice for a Disney rep despite his ineligibility.

They still do if I'm not mistaken. They also published the only Skylanders game to have a Japanese release.

Can everyone just calm down about Spyro? We already had a Geno War and that ended badly :(

Also the entire point of my post was people more likely then Geno. Jack has more of a chance then Geno.

And it's also kinda likely that when you think someone has a "typing problem" and ridicule them that they're not just a native English speaker. Why do people always do that?

EDIT: You guys keep saying everyone needs to "calm down"...I mean, I guess Anvil's getting a bit heated, but no one's really upset. We say "calm down" whenever a debate happens.

I know your kidding but Activision has major spot and a chance for a rep, problem is that most of their known mascots are either too generic, too violent or a dead franchise.

Same with EA and Square's issue is just no definitive character with major Nintendo history and icon status. Atleast Ubisoft is lucky to its their rep considering they now remember Rayman exist instead of leaving him in Rabbid Hell. And he's the less likely one compared to Sega/Capcom/Namco.

That's all the possible big name third party companies, I've named.

VI is my favorite game in the series, but it doesn't have a proper POV or main character. That's actually one of the reasons I like the game so much, it feels like a proper ensemble cast and not just "Cloud and friends." Celes, Locke, Terra, and Edgar are all super important to the game, and although Terra starts the ball rolling you don't even need to recruit her at the end of the game.

IV also seems like the more influential game.

Well at the very least, they're not publishing Black Ops 3, Sony Japan is (while Activision themselves are publishing the Xbone version).

Actually, I looked it up, and Microsoft will be publishing the Xbone version in Japan.

Dreamed up a fake leak, then personally disproved it. You have my applause.

Anyway I think you're trying to rib me with this nonsense of trying to make out that Jack Frost is even remotely likely so I'm dropping it.

...How am I trying to rib you? You're getting way too personal about this.
Also, that's one game and they slapped "SPYROS ADVENTURE" on for sales. And I like Skylanders! But he is barely even in the story in the recent games.

What does "ribbing" even mean? That I'm joking with you? I not once said he was likely, I said he was more likely then Spyro or Geno..

Is their any damned reason the video is not consistence in showing off gameplay, like at all? It's just a mod, Chrom already has gotta that treatment, so anyone can.
Dude probably just ripped a few clips from a video/stream to make his "CSS" look legit. Too bad he couldn't actually get rid of the "Soneek" tag.

There is an argument going on for 2 third party chacarcters about which has the higher chance. When the answer is neither because zero is not greater than zero :p

I would consider it more of a debate. I mean Jack has a 5% chance to get in. Spyro has a 2%. Jack is just slightly more likely.
You could even make that 5% a 3 percent and spyros 2 percent a 1%. My point is that Jack narrowly beats Spyro, very narrowly.

Don't forget Chrono Break am I right?? ahahah why squeenix
Most of the people that made the Crono games are now either stuck perpetually making Sqaure-Enix MMOs (FF XI and XIV in particular) or are now part of Monolithsoft. Speaking of, Xenogears was originally a Crono series game, so I'll totally count that as well even if it doesn't really make any sense. I mean, Lucca's in the game, so it must count.

I really should try out the Xeno series one of these days. Or at least Gears and Xenoblade.

Third parties are a mistake. They bring nothing but trash.
:troll:
Being serious about it. I really think that third party characters IMO shouldn't be considered unless they are a icon in their industry and company. That and let's be honest, the only characters that I believe are worth it are from a company who is dead to me.

I'm not getting personal. Have I once made any personal or derogatory remark here?

I'm done with it as it's a completely ridiculous argument.

I meant personal as in "you're getting heated and slightly rude", I misuse words a lot, sorry.
I'm being truthful though. I like you Anvil, you're a cool guy, but you're really just raining on my parade when the whole point was that Jack Frost is more likely then Geno. This whole thing was kinda unneeded.

Also, the "i'm done with this it's a ridicolous argument" thing... You kinda bought that on yourself. You just kept bringing up refuted points. I don't understand how I did anything wrong, but okay, man.
