Lol what the hell? Snake is Snake my friend. They chose to go with a much younger version which makes sense wouldn't you agree and since Snake is in to represent the whole Metal Gear series then why wouldn't he represent MSG4?Snake isn't in to promote MGS4. If he was he would be in his Old Snake form. Snake is in to represent the whole Metal Gear series. Cloud would most likely do the same thing since he's the biggest and most popular FF character ever, and is almost the face of the franchise. He'd definitely be the first choice. I do hate him, though, and Final Fantasy VII, but you cannot deny the facts.
Cloud would not represent all of Final Fantasy. He would represent the FFVII universe and its galaxy of spin offs. I do hate Cloud myself and since I hate him I won't be telling anyone he adequately represents Final Fantasy's history in its entirety. Its a flat out lie and I won't buy it. The FF universe is far too vast to be overshadowed by one character. So why not put in a mascot like a Moogle or a Chocobo?
So those people watched Advent Children and called it a day? Thats not good. Especially since Brawl is all about video game representation. I doubt Sakurai will care that Cloud and friends got their own movie.And those millions of people, withouth having played FF, know who is Cloud. You really are a fool if you think Mog has any chance of being in the game.
