To a degree? Yes it matters what Microsoft cares about. If they don't want Banjo in Smash.
I want to argue, because obviously Celes, but Sabin was the character I always made sure to keep in my party whenever possible and he was more interesting than most of the cast, so consider your opinion respected.
I wish his inputs weren't so darn finicky.
I dunno man, sometimes people are fans of that 3rd Party series and would like to play as their favorite character that isn't the MC from the most well-known game(s).
PH is not a game I would recommend despite how much I like it but Linebeck is certainly worth looking into, he's an extremely fun and I'n still salty they skipped him over in favor of another Zelda in HW.
I imagine the things people who believe Terra is the protagonist know about FFVI can be summed up as the opening scene, "not a thief, I'm a treasure hunter" and the crazy clown but I doubt any of them know about Leo's death, The World of Ruin and Celes's whole story arc.
Isabelle AND Park Ranger 17, huh?
But did the datamine specified it was 17 from Super?
I mostly agree, but have one solitary exception in Sonic. Tails is such a gaming icon to me, it outdoes any other new SEGA character.
Not really, because FF6 doesn't have a single protagonist. Most of your party is considered the protagonist, if I'm remembering correctly.
Why can't we have both? The max amount of unique Characters for Third parties seem to be 2. Konami has Snake and Simon, SEGA has Sonic and Bayonetta, And Capcom has Mega Man and Ryu. I don't think it's really out of the question to have 2 Microsoft reps, and I'm pretty sure the two most Likely are Steve and Banjo Kazooie
I view Terra as the MC
Yes. The original datamine specifically revealed Ranger 17.
Yes, it was directly stated to be 17 from Super in the old leak that's proven to be 100%
Please if you think Terra is the protagonist actually finish FFVI before talking.
In theory yes, but not in practice. Gaur and Mog for example have just about nothing to do with the main plot. Terra is important early game, but fades into the background and literally becomes optional by the end. Celes on the other hand is consistently important to the story throughout, is always mandatory, and is front-and-center in many of the most iconic scenes (the Opera, the cliff, etc). She also has much better developed interactions with the rest of her party (especially Locke) than most of the others.
Not only that, but anyone who watched Super knew #17 was going to eventually be playable in FighterZ. It's not exactly a bold prediction.
To be fair Phil Spencer has literally said he'd like to have Banjo in Smash, I'm sure Banjo wouldn't be the top priority from Microsoft's point of view, but if Sakurai came to them and asked for him specifically they're not going to say "no, we only want Steve in".
Yea and as much as I despise the idea of any 3rd party getting more than one unique rep, I totally see Sonic being the first, and it happening in this game (base or dlc).
Never heard of them nope. Well other than Impa. I just didn’t recognize her.
Especially with the huge amount of bias he got from Toei in the arc he showed back up in.
Final Fantasy has ginormous cast with super unique characters. I would love Zidane in Smash, or someone from Chrystal Chronicles like a Selkie or something. I'd prefer Zidane over Sora myself
You know what I didn't know about FF VI until years later? Apparently Sabin's 'Suplex' is a 1-hit KO on the Phantom Train. I never knew that! I just thought, since I had done so much damage to it already, that it just happened to be the last bit of damage needed when I KO'd it using Suplex lol
Yeah, and people have also been predicting playable Roshi as well. I can see it happening.
I really don't see Octopath getting something before Geno, other FF characters, a DQ character, Bravely Default or even something from Chrono Trigger tbh.
They seriously wouldn't buy Smash, with over 70 characters to try out and main, cause one character they didn't like got in? Seems awfully petty to me.
Well I don't understand people who want a lawyer over characters that actually have interesting abilities that could work well in a fight, plus some characters from the same franchise are probably better too.
Then I guess they aren't actually fans of Smash then.
Pretty much that. The story as a whole was intended to be written in such a way that no one character would be able to be clearly defined as the "protagonist"; I've even heard people argue that Kefka is the protagonist on the basis that he's the driving force of the plot (the protagonist doesn't have to be the hero, after all). Whether or not the writers actually achieved their goal is clearly up for debate; I'd lean more towards Celes than Terra, of the two, since Celes has more, and more significant, scenes throughout the overall plot. Plus you have characters like Gau or Mog who are pretty redundant in terms of the overall plot (if I remember correctly Mog is completely optional anyway).
I'd probably wont have anyone to play with LOL.
Really? Just for one Character.... I'm not a fan of Bayonetta's Inclusion, But that doesn't mean I'm not getting the game. Also, remember that Steve is very popular...
If we didn't know ballot is being used, I couldn't imagine Geno getting in before Octopath and would consider Bravely and Chrono on similar footing.
My favorite set of characters have minor bits in the actual plot (Shadow & Relm) but their whole relation with each other is so interesting if you actually go out of your way to do it.
Nah, the suplex on the train is just a meme, unfortunately. Phoenix Downs are a one-hit KO, though, since the Phantom Train is classed as undead.
I swear FF's try to throw in that random undead boss just to see if you think to throw a Phoenix Down at it.
Because some of those like and/or have wanted characters like that even though until Richter was announced playable in Ultimate was thought to be impossible? xP
