Now we battle like Fighters! And Miis! And Miis who dress up like Fighters!Known for his eccentric demeanor and vast variety of weapons plundered from across the worlds of Final Fantasy, Gilgamesh is a recurring character who made his debut in Final Fantasy V as the right-hand man of the main antagonist Exdeath before becoming a popular character to appear in other entries of the series, including being a boss in the likes of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2 and a summon in Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and World of Final Fantasy. He even became playable in one of the Dissidia titles, too.

For GILGAMESH, it's Smashing Time!
In Smash, Gilgamesh would be a complex character who dominates the midrange not with hefty swings of a singular sword, but a flurry of several diverse hitboxes that each have different effects, ranging from the demonic katana Muramasa to the all-cutting Zantetsuken to the laughable joke weapon Excalipoor (If need be we could possibly even throw in weapons from the other Smash fighters as per his reputation of a weapon collector). His moveset would be packed to the brim with multi-armed swordplay and magic, allowing Gilgamesh to adapt to the situation if need be.
Final Fantasy Character: Chocobo & Moogle
View attachment 390796
Chocobo & Moogle are two races of species from Final Fantasy series, Chocobo is a bird used for mounting and Moogle is a flying creature who is intelligent and know the humans, both these creatures are mascots from Final Fantasy series,also Moogle appears on 2 Mario games who are Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix,for have a possible connection on Nintendo.
Chocobo & Moogle are two fighters fighting together, like Banjo & Kazooie or Duck Hunt for base for moveset.
I wanted to submit Black Mage,but i decide to anyone submit Black Mage and i choose Chocobo & Moogle as fighters

Terra Branford (Final Fantasy 6)
While Cloud and Sephiroth are indeed well-known characters from the Final Fantasy series. I think it also makes to have Terra from FF6 to finally represent the classic side of the franchise. She and het game FF6 are beloved enough that Sakurai even considered choosing her before going with Cloud. Which makes sense since FF6 is also popular on the SNES, making her Nintendo-based.
Much of Terra's story is filled with mysteries at first since we don't know who she is. But despite that, she still tries to do the right thing to oppose the Empire while making allies along the way. She could be a glass cannon zoner who can openly use the many ranged spells from Final Fantasy as parts of her main moveset and get in close range combat with her sword. She would be a fun character with a playstyle that of a mage and a swordfighter.
Emet-Selch
The main villain of Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers and a Major Character in Endwalker.
Solus Zos Galvus or Emet-Selch is an ascian who is also the being Hades. Emet-Selch is a popular character in FFXIV for his personality, story and design.
In terms of gameplay he has the ability set of a Dark Knight, Black Mage and His true firm if Hades. Making Emet-Selch a powerful shadow and magic user.
I REEEEEEEEALLY wanted to submit Tidus or Yuna as FFX is one of the best FF games out there IMO but I opted for.....
LIGHTNING (FINAL FANTASY XIII)
Why Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII should be in Smash Bros.:
Lightning would be an excellent addition to the Smash Bros. roster due to her status as one of the most iconic characters from the Final Fantasy series. As the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning has garnered a large fan base and has become a symbol of strength, determination, and resilience. Including her in Smash Bros. would not only celebrate the legacy of the Final Fantasy franchise but also introduce a strong female character with a diverse set of abilities to the game. Furthermore, Lightning's dynamic personality and striking appearance would add depth and variety to the roster, appealing to fans of the Final Fantasy series and newcomers alike.
How Lightning could play in Smash Bros.:
Lightning could utilize a versatile blend of sword-based combat, elemental magic, and advanced technology in her moveset, drawing inspiration from her abilities in Final Fantasy XIII. Her standard attacks could incorporate quick sword slashes and martial arts techniques, showcasing her agility and combat prowess. Additionally, Lightning could use her unique Paradigm Shift ability as part of her special moves, allowing her to switch between different combat roles on the fly, such as Commando for offensive strikes, Ravager for elemental magic attacks, and Sentinel for defensive maneuvers. Her Final Smash could unleash the devastating power of her ultimate Eidolon, Odin, who would deliver a powerful onslaught of lightning-based attacks, dealing massive damage to opponents within range. Overall, Lightning would offer a dynamic and strategic fighting style, reflecting her multifaceted nature as a warrior and leader in the world of Final Fantasy.
Why Lightning?
Like I said, I wanted to submit Tidus and still do but I feel Lightning has A LOT more content to add into her toolkit rather than Tidus' hack/slash/blitzball. As mentioned earlier, her Paradigm Shift could be an unique stance set up that would be simply amazing. While FF13 is a bit.... iffy on the iconic scale and Lightning getting in would be a huge head scratch - I think she would be more fun to play as compared to other ideas.
Noctis, Clive, Squall. and Black Mage were also considered....
PLEEEASE SOMEONE SUBMIT TIDUS OR YUNA....
Job Submission
Tifa Lockhart
View attachment 390834
One of the most popular characters in the series and Cloud's closest companions. Would bring an interesting martial arts moveset. I know we might have a lot of FF7 already but the character herself is very iconic and beloved by fans and would be a great addition on character alone rather than the game she's from.

Yuna
I was gonna do this anyway since FFX is my favourite one after 7 and I think a summorer moveset like this could be really fun. She would summon her Aeons, FFX's take on summons. This would be done with her staff. I know the Midgar stage has summons already but this could be done differently. She would also use other kinds of magic with her stafft. She has a graceful dancing like fighting style that could make her really stand out and We could maybe include her guns from FFX-2 in her kit if we wanna get really wild. FFX has long been rumoured for a remake and is due a big anniversary soon. Yuna herself is a really popular character who constantly ranks high on polls.
Vivi Ornitier (FF9)
Actually currently playing through my 1st FF game now (7 Remake). Think that game is well repped now though so will nominate something else from a game im not too familiar with.
Vivi is a very popular character, would give us a more magic based fighter from the series, & the close resemble to a black mage would stand out as it is very recognizable from the series.
Plus this would be very timely if the FF9 remake rumors are true
Here they are in listed form:Not sure if the submission window is still open but...
Warriors of Light
View attachment 390846
Since most of the Final Fantasy content so far is based around the more modern JRPG genre, how about we go a little more retro with the more original 8-bit Warriors of Light? They would be a four-in-one fighter with a turn-based gimmick based around RPG battles. The warrior would do attacking, the Black Mage would be ranged, the White Mage would be more pacifist and heal and the thief would steal moves. The main reason why I think they should join is due to how we can showcase Final Fantasy back when it popularized the RPG genre in the late 80s. This game set the standard for other role-playing games and even gave way to Final Fantasy VII. A solid choice here and the Warriors of Light can provide a fun RPG-based gimmick.

Black Mage had 1 more 5 point vote in the original voting.Little disappointed, but oh well. Bit confused on the reasoning for tiebreaker though, Black Mage didn't really nab any 3 point votes? And if you look at the combined vote count for 5, 4, and 3 points in the original vote, Terra actually had more (7 to 5). And Terra's original vote count was greater as well, 28 to 27, so not sure how that is construed as people wanting Mage more. (It was actually 29 to 27, now that I do the math).
I mean, I am personally fine with both. Terra is a great character but Black Mage is such an iconic character that transcends each game. Both perfectly fit FF as reps. I don't have any actual qualms with it nor, honestly, do I really mind it. I also feel that Black Mage may have more interaction about added content then Terra does since, realistically, we have like 4 or so people who contribute. This is another reason why I don't often vote.Little disappointed, but oh well. Bit confused on the reasoning for tiebreaker though, Black Mage didn't really nab any 3 point votes? And if you look at the combined vote count for 5, 4, and 3 points in the original vote, Terra actually had more (7 to 5).

I did vote (& nominate) Vivi/Black Mage, either way works for me although DragonRobotKing26 seemed pretty excited about the result & there are 2 other voters who switching up things at this point may not sit the best with. Will say either way wont really alter my participation as im only decently familiar with 7 remake. Depends on how creative & eager to learn i feel when the job starts without that familiarity.
On another note almost forgot about the Mii costume job.
Bartz Klauser (FF5) Mii Swordfighter
Remember him coming up i believe when Sakurai mention other considered series characters. Has a recognizable design & seems decently popular.
Cid Raines (FF13) Mii Mage
FFs Cids kind of remind me of Fire Emblem & Anna. This is the 2nd? Cid to take on a villainous role. Was the 1st name for FF13 main antagonists on the wiki & reappeared in Lightning Returns so hopefully he fits what we are looking for.
I will be submitting....

Emperor - FF2 (Mage)
As much as I wanted Terra, I think if Black Mage won then he's the one who should get in. I don't hate the idea but it sounds like complicating things and makes the win less special.
Keep in mind that including these characters also means that a Hero and a Villain related to these submissions will also be included. We will accept two heroes and villains that are associated with the voted-in candidates. Here is how it looks like:
Hero/Villain | Associated Hero/Villain | Hero/Villain | Associated Hero/Villain |

Noctis (FF15) | Ardyn Izunia | Gaius (FF15) | Y'shtola Rhul |
Bartz Klauser (FF5) | Exdeath | Cid Raines (FF13) | Lightning |
Tidus (FFX) | Jecht | The Emperor (FF2) | Firion |
