It should also be worth noting that Cloud doesn't seem to be the character from the Smash Ballot, as I don't know a single person who ever mentioned wanting Cloud in Smash |
Maybe you just haven't spoken to that many people or read the Internet lately. I've seen so many people say they'd love Cloud in Smash, but it was like one of those pipe dream things that people never really expected would happen.
I suspect this is intended as a sign of the direction Nintendo and Square Enix's relationship is headed. Cloud is in many ways symbolic of the moment FF stopped being a Nintendo series and the moment a rift formed between Nintendo and Square (a rift which was pretty powerful for about a decade). Does this mean the FFVII remake could be on NX or another Nintendo console? Maybe. That's hard to say. Either way, I'm pretty sure it's a sign that the two companies intend to keep working a lot more closely in the coming years.
