The poll on collectibles was close, but we're going with
Yokta's idea. (I'm not sure about the modes, though; we haven't even decided on which bosses to use)
Hades: 0
Rival Arena: 0
Boss Arena: 0
Graveyard: 1
San Francisco: 2
Invasion: 2
Time Station: 3
Dreamscape: 4
Black Rock Stadium: 4
Fearless: 4
Paris: 5
Alden's Tower: 5
Metropolis: 7
Sandover: 12
Dojo: 12
Franzea and Stowaways got 3 and 2 votes, which speaks to how people want them back considering that I explicitly ruled them out. I'll bring back the top five (Dojo/Sandover/Metropolis/Alden's Tower/Paris) and also Franzea, though one of today's jobs will be
deciding what Franzea's mash-up will be if we don't get Snake, Raiden, or another Metal Gear character in the game.
Today's other jobs are item-related. I was thinking that we could include some kind of assist trophy equivalent, and
Yokta
's
Memory Card idea works perfectly for that, as long as nobody has objections to it. However, I feel like we should nominate/vote on the characters to include as summons, so we don't accidentally include a character that people want to see as playable.
We're also going to be submitting ideas for items - now that the line-up's expanded, there should be a lot more to work with.

For Memory Card summons, you can submit
up to two at a time. (we'll vote for, and include, a larger amount than we would for playable characters) For my first one, I'm going to submit
Nitrous Oxide from Crash Bandicoot. (I originally had Dingodile, but I changed it at Wario Wario Wario's request)
He's a villain from the Naughty Dog days, but not one major enough that people would be upset if he wasn't playable or a boss. (he was added solely because they thought that an alien would make it seem like the series had jumped the shark, only for the developers to be surprised when he actually caught on) Oxide would drive around the stage, ramming into people in his hover-car.
My second one will be
V from Devil May Cry 5.
While he's a playable character in DMC5, he's not as major as the likes of Vergil, Nero, Trish, or Lady. He generally stays out of the action, reading his book of poetry while his familiars (
Griffon and
Shadow) do the fighting. However, attacking him is a bad idea; doing so will cause him to summon
Nightmare, making the battlefield that much more chaotic. When his summon nears its end, a red wavy circle appears around whoever took the most damage; V will teleport to that person, stabbing his cane into them for minor damage, as he says a relevant quote about the character before vanishing. (in most cases, it will be a piece of poetry or some other form of classical writing; in Dante's case, he'll just say "Is that really all you're capable of?" or something along those lines)

For
items, you can submit
up to two. (again, we'll vote for a larger amount)
My first one will be pretty straightforward - a
Green Herb from Resident Evil.
Picking it up restores a small amount of health.
I'll need time to look into a second item, but I wanted to get this posted as soon as possible.

So, to summarize:
1. ideas for Franzea's mash-up
2. this game's version of assist trophies (up to two)
2. new items (up to two)
You can do one of these, or two, or all three if you want.
