While I do question whether or not FF7R will make it to NX. I do think it's possible for FF7 OG to appear on Wii U and 3DS as a VC title

I'm fine with smash bros including the most iconic characters in gaming. Megaman, sonic, ryu, pacman, and cloud are great additions as guest characters. It would also be great to have snake back since he is widely requested by smash fans due to his zoning playstyle (along with iconic franchise).

He definitely does not deserve to be in Smash Bros, unless this is marketing to get Nintendo fans hyped for Final Fantasy VII Remake for NX. Then, I am perfectly fine with him being in Smash Bros, but if not, he has no place in Smash Bros and should not be here.

The flood gates are open. The next main FF game will be on the NX along with ps4 and xbone. I mean, that just makes. So much sense.

Apparently more than PSABR

OT: It doesn't really matter if he deserves to be in. His iconic status in JRPG makes him a great addition to Smash Bros already phenomenal roster of Nintendo and Japanese gaming icons.

Know we just need Snake back along with his codecs to fill in the Konami representative.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer? I'm unfamilar with those initials. Regardless, my question was meant make light of the idea of animated pixels deserving to be with other animated pixels. It's not like Smash Bros. is a sweet high school girl dating the guy who smokes pot under the overpass.

Playstation All Star Battle Royale.

And I got your point

Cloud is definitely iconic so it is interesting to see him in

I'm not sure where I stand on this, but it's fine... as long as this doesn't open the gateway to some other characters :/

Are you kidding? It's a no brainer slam dunk. Especially if FF7 Remake is coming to NX down the line, it's a good way to introduce the IP to the Nintendo-verse as it were. Even if its not, it's still a cool move.

Besides I think Smash now pretty much has all the "big gun" iconic characters of video gaming (Sony/MS owned characters aside).

Sonic, Snake, Ryu, Megaman, Pac-Man, and Cloud have all appeared. They may as well bring Snake back as DLC too IMO.
