Perkilator Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It's no secret that FF's Smash representation has...been kinda minimal, to put it lightly. Sephiroth's inclusion did fix this, but not by much as most of his Challenger Pack consisted of content from FFVII (which makes sense). So, assuming copyright wasn't a meanie FF had more base game content in Smash, what would you have loved to see? For me: Music Spoiler Prelude - FINAL FANTASY VII Opening - FINAL FANTASY Let the Battles Begin! Fight On! One-Winged Angel Battle Scene - FINAL FANTASY Last Battle - FINAL FANTASY Battle Theme B - FINAL FANTASY II Battle Scene 2 - FINAL FANTASY II This is the Last Battle Boss Battle - FINAL FANTASY IV The Dreadful Fight The Final Battle - FINAL FANTASY IV Battle on the Big Bridge The Decisive Battle - FINAL FANTASY V The Decisive Battle - FINAL FANTASY VI Dancing Mad ~Final Tier~ Force Your Way The Man with the Machine Gun The Extreme Battle 2 - FINAL FANTASY IX The Dark Messenger Normal Battle - FINAL FANTASY X Seymour Battle Otherworld Boss Battle - FINAL FANTASY XII Blinded by Light Saber's Edge Stand Your Ground Apocalypsis Noctis Veiled in Black Spirits Spoiler Cloud (Fighter Spirit) Cloud (Advent Children) (Fighter Spirit) Chocobo (Yoshi x7, ★★; Athletic Theme - Super Mario World) Moogle (Olimar x10, ★★; Opening - FINAL FANTASY) Cactuar (Mr. Game & Watch, ★★; Let the Battles Begin!)

Lord_Brand Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Are we allowed to list fighters or stages? Because I can think of a few I would have added to base game, given the chance.

At the start of the fight, Garland transforms into Chaos. Chaos can attack physically and wields the mighty Earthquake, Blaze, Tsunami, and Cyclone elemental spells. He can also cast Slowra, Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, Curaja, and Haste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Brand Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Well, without fighters or stages from other games, I imagine they would only include so many other FF Spirits and Songs. Final Fantasy is definitely one of those series that needs more representation in Smash. For Smash 6, I'm hoping they'll include more than just FFVII content, in fact I'm hoping to see content from just about every Final Fantasy game in there, though I won't mind if they add Tifa as a third FFVII fighter. Some other fighters I'd like to see include Warriors of Light (including Black Mage), Garland, Chocobo & Moogle (they're the series mascots, how can they not be in there?), Cecil, Kain, Bartz, and Terra. Really, Final Fantasy is, along with Mega Man, one of those series where the amount of content I'd actually want exceeds what could probably be added in one game, including DLC.
