Any chance the next installment will have more FF characters?

[Fatal Rose]

That's the only reason I bought/played any of these games in the first place.

[Freya]

I'm sure the XIII crew will make an appearance. Probably XV too. I hope we get some older characters like from IV, V, and VI

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

It would definitely be exciting news!

I don't know that anyone has been announced yet, but I'm sure the likes of Cloud and Leon will return. They're staples of the series, for sure.

A likely addition would be Lightning, if I were to guess someone new.
