If you ask my opinion, I don't need a new Final Fantasy character in the game. I want more Final Fantasy 7 content in Smash Ultimate. More music, an assist trophy, an item, spirits, the works. We're at a point where Bayonetta of all character is better represented than Cloud. Just from the opening of the game, I felt Midgar could have been better utilized.

I knew about it but never posted there. And I didn't know you started it! :o
Props to you dear. ^^
I put Sephiroth in the forefront bc of his status, bc it would be epic to have him in the villains gang, and being the first katana user in Smash Bros.
But if not him, Tifa would be my pick. Aerith, as much as I love her, feels better as an AT doing something like Palutena's Heavenly Light mixed with Starman, which would be faithful to her final Limit Break
Everyone likes who they like. And that's good. In the best world we would get all of them in :p
Or maybe in some other game.

It reminds me that Dissidia has gotten a free to play version. I havent tried it but that might not be bad.

It's not as good of a Dissidia as its predecessors, but it's fun nontheless!
And yes! I love them both. I really wanted both of them in Smash.
And I would hope she would be represented in her original continuity look. She is beautiful, strong and kind

That image is freaking hilarious, specially considering what we're going through.
I think that the most important thing would be a proper representation, but to me, this franchise in particular is too special to have only one rep.
Sephiroth and Tifa would be the perfect additions as fighters. Aerith as an AT and Barret as a Mii Gunner costume would be top tier

A second FF 7 rep would help them try again for the game. Not sure how I feel about all of these characters yet, including Tifa and Sephiroth, because I only know them at a surface level value. My opinion would be to go for anohter Final Fantasy game. Maybe FF4 or 6 since those games are also pretty respected.

In the case of Sephiroth, I feel he's the most natural inclusion for FF 7 because he's about as iconic as Cloud when you think about it. I guess so is Tifa, but Tifa is iconic for other assets. To me, the writing of the game is actually better than the Nomura depression act I expected, so I'm actually pretty excited to see where things go from here.

The original FFVII is radically different from the expanded universe (and this is kinda the reason why many fans, myself included, dislike it to no end). The characters, narrative and world building are different.
I'm a suspect, but I would say that they are loved to this day for a reason. They are very very well crafted.
And about other FFs, I would think that it would be legit too, but given that FF is only represented as VII as seen in the files, in the game itself and the blog, the only new FF characters that would be possible from a logical standpoint would be FFVII characters. But I see your point and I understand it completely. If not Seph or Tifa, and I could choose other FF characters, I would go with Terra in a blink of an eye

I would personally go with Seph or Terra myself (I want more villains in Smash and Sephiroth would be perfect for that xD)

Btw, off topic... How did I forget how insane this game was? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBinxNwAN5s Redownloaded it on my Wii U because I did not find my copy of it.. This game makes Smash Brothers look sane to some extent xD

Aerith would be perfect as simply a spirit and you darn well know why. ;)

Interesting development regarding FFVII
https://gematsu.com/2019/04/final-f...ision-developing-large-scale-next-gen-project
Apparently FFVII remake is now being co-directed by the project lead and FFXIV director is moving to a new large project.
Basically a programmer with no experience with storytelling and directing other than Mobius, which imo was very lackluster.
Last time they made a person do this huge jump and shift in position was with a character designer first and foremost. I wonder how that went.. :4pacman:

Loving the new pfps
I had a meme picture ready, but I accept this Reggie.

Speculation has been fun but that's all the time I've got. I've gotta get back to playing Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition on my Nintendo Switch.

Can I come with you?

I couldn't stop laughing at this.
Best April Fools by far

Very disappointing. I was hoping to see a Yo! Noid! port.

Also, the Link's Awakening bush wasn't revealed for Smash? I thought it was leaked for the longest? I wanted to play as a bush, Nintendo. I'm hurt.

Update: I got Final Fantasy XIV collectors edition Friday and y'all were right...This game is a LOT of fun! It is very polished and playing with a PS4 controller feels very natural.

I didn't know what game you were talking about, then I remembered you're you.

I really want that game!
I've been recommended Hey Baba is You as well, I guess i will try it.
It's a really interesting logic puzzle game. You can move around the text in the levels to quasi program things in order to solve and win them.
Whatever text says an object IS YOU is what you can move around, and you have to touch or be whatever object IS WIN.

It gets tough very fast and a lot of levels can stump you until you learn some nuances of what you can do with things in it.

That's cool. I know I would've liked that game because I love FF and job systems. You can bet I'd make a cat person (miqote) :)
But I just cant stand the pay per month thing. Especially because i might not stick to the game all the time..

I don't really play it much anymore but it's great. It's like a FF themed playground.

Patch 2.0.2 added functionality for the :ultdaisy:, :ultyounglink:, and :ultken: amiibo. These amiibo come out on April 12th, so they wanted to patch the functionality for them in beforehand.

This was the only thing added in the update that is in the patch notes. No bug fixes, no balance changes.

This also means that Joker will come out after April 12th, because they would have waited to add this to the game if 3.0 came out before April 12th.

I don’t think it actually does.

It’s a pretty minor update, and they probably wanted to get this out of the way.

They have been a bit idle in the discord but we are all kinda hyped but responsibly cause obviously we gotta take grains of salt with retailers anyway. This was polar's last tweet

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I seriously hope it's true tho of course. Those three games just make a lot of sense, BUT i'm a bit doubtful about ALTTP… Like, Kingzell has been teasing multiple times Zelda 2020, then we have LA remake going on… but apparently some leakers have heard of another 2D zelda, so ATTP might make sense if that's so. I honestly don't know other than i'm hopeful for all of it atm.

After reinviting myself into her discord, the answer so far is no, but she has seen the info. She mentioned that a Best Buy employee once told that they some times list games even though they never happen. She has no real solid info.

Metroid Prime Trilogy and ALttP have been leaked by best Buy?

I know Metroid Prime Trilogy was making rounds with insiders, but wasn't aware it actually got leaked.

Pretty much, we're being careful of being anywhere sure of all this 100% because it wouldn't be the first time retailers list stuff and then nothing happens lol. But all of these make a lot of sense if they are real.

I don't know, ALttP seems kinda fishy for me. they already thought about remaking the game once, but thaty ended up making it more original and we got ALBW. We now have a Link's Awakening remake on the way as well.

It maybe isn't a remake and just an original version of the game, but if that was case, that'd be kinda bad news for the potential of SNES games being added to Switch's online.

Wasn't there a datamine with SNES games in the Switch?

plus I remember something about an SNES controller icon.

edit: though tbh I don't see why they'd be in the Switch unless the online stuffs relies on things in the system...but I know there was some datamine or something with SNES games being found in the code.

I remember that too, but I thought that SNES games were going to be a part of the SWitch online subscrition similar to the NES games.

If that was the case, would any SNES games really pop up on Best Buy?

If SNES games had to be bought via the eShop like any other game that'd be really lame.
