Wait, how in the name of hell is someone convinced that Cloud is the ballot winner, when he was never specified as such, and right after his trailer it's announced that there will be a broadcast in December?
I don't see where such uncertainty comes from in general. We knew we were getting a ballot character at the very least, the problem was that we didn't know when we would get such information. That made the wait way worse, because there was no end in sight. Here however, we have a deadline. That's much better than living in the dark during the 4 DLC era.
