KoT: Many fans are dying to know: now that Higuchi-san is working on the next Smash Bros game, can we expect one or several Tales characters in it?

Y: This is a difficult question! Maybe if we beg Sakurai-san, it will happen! I know Higuchi-san would love it, but the decision is Sakurai-san’s. I think it’s still too early to talk about it.

KoT: Smash Bros Melee introduced Marth and Roy from the Fire Emblem series. Those characters were very popular in Occident, and resulted in the Fire Emblem series being localized for the first time in America and Europe. I’m sure Tales characters in the next Smash Bros would be excellent advertising for the series.

Y: That’s true. But we need to keep in mind that a character can only appear in a Smash Bros game if he already appeared on a Nintendo console. This is one of the conditions, and many Tales characters do not fulfill it. Of course, some do, like characters from Tales of Symphonia or Tales of the Abyss.

KoT (Kusuru): Or Tales of Hearts. I love Tales of Hearts *laughs*

Y: You know, Tales of Hearts was one of Baba-san’s important and recent projects, before Graces and Xillia. I think we can tell how much he influenced the game. He always had specific tastes about the costumes, especially for healers, he loves those brother-sister relationships, and he enjoys having a female character who looks human but isn’t.

KoT: Since Higuchi-san left to work on Smash Bros, I take it he took some Tales developers with him?

Y: Yes, of course. But not only developers from the Tales series. He took some people from other teams with him too, especially from the Tekken development team.

It could be a possibility. If the rumors regarding the two games (that one is focused on newer characters and one on older characters), then there is the possibility of getting two characters from Namco; Pac-Man in the 3DS game and Lloyd (and lets not deceive ourselves, it will be Lloyd or it will be no-one) in the Wii U game.

If they put Kratos Aurion in there (even as an assist trophy) Monica will be happy, so I suppose I'm for this

If they do put a tales character in the game it has to be either Lloyd Irving or Reid Hershel in my opinion.

I can only think that ToS characters would have a chance to be in the roster. There are the Japanese only DS Tales games they could get. It could help get more exposure for the Tales franchise to include a character but...

Yep it as to be lloyd if they do it. Also Hes my favorite character so star fox would get a rest.

possibility my ass. A tales character a given, along with Klonoa and/or Pacman

I'd like it to be Lloyd.

I want Mitsurugi in it too. Jin too perhaps.

3rd party characters in Smash Bros. is the future now that Snake and Sonic opened the floodgates.

I want Lloyd first and foremost he will fit perfectly in swordfights against the FE and Zelda franchise characters.

For me, this is a kind of 'meh' idea simply because there isn't particularly a character at the fore-front of Tales. If there were one, it would have to be Lloyd, since (coincidentally) Symphonia is the only Tales of game I've played (until Graces F comes out in EU). It was like when I saw people listing Rudy (Wild ARMs) as a possible character for PSABR. I love the WA series, and Rudy is a great character, but he's not well known.

Then again, I suppose it's not any more obscure than Fat Princess
