I said one from each in the last thread just for simplicty of the thread itself. Honestly, I really don't care much about anything being added from 1, 2 sorta, 3 u really should include Xande, 4 has a lot of awesome characters as you included, but my concern is that every character remains different, I don't want to see Captain Falcon>Ganondorf in smash bros or roy>marth kinda crap. Anway, 5 thats about right, 6 is my favorite, so i am not going to argue with the character mass your inculding, but Umaro is hardly going to have an engaging back story, I think this list is a bit biased to your play style and character preference (no offense intended likley I would do the same) I would much prefer seeing Gau to seeing Umaro. 7 where's vincent? Honestly, dispite his possibly twilightish fanbase the character is still awesome and could have such an unbelievlably creative and innovative play style he would have to be in it, not to mention his back-story, which connects more to sephiroth than even cloud. 8/9 i don't care enough, 10...Probably include Yuna, but i would be anything but heartbroken if they skipped her. 12, meh, thats fine, but i doubt they would add Bausch before Vaan, (not that I like him) just saying. 13, don't care enough to argue. I didn't play tactics... Anywho, all in all, I have no objection to any characters as long as they can keep making them as different as they have before. Also, console? heck ya! but will they? One good thing about the psp is being able to play people on the go, but i would much rather a console with stable online play and split screen.

Here's the characters I think that can be included without destroying the versatile dynamic and sharpen the story immensly. (3 factions cool btw) (Again not arguing against additions, the more the merrier, but I will do simple priority.

I: N/A
II:Leon(Full dark knight, more agressive than Cecil), Maria(physcial range games)
III:Xande(story involvement + archmage, older and different type of magic entirly)
IV:Kain (dragoon),Zemus(more agressive style of Mateus), Rubicante(very high evasion and speed +story)
V: Gilgamesh (Heavy Firion style, no magic+plus comic relief/story)
VI: Sabin(monk fight style new, + awesome ex burst blitz style), Edgar(story and innovative play with tools plus we need a hetero hero in this game), Leo(We have a war...and no one is really even a military type...this one should be pretty obvious) Cyan (back-story + samurai style), Locke, (heavier theif)
[I know too many from 6, I said I may be biased]
VII: Tifa(story) Vincent, reasons i have stated, Hojo(scienctist, totally different play style + story) Reno(fanbase appeaser honestly)
[Bias gives me less less motivation to argue much further than VII]
VIII: Edea, Seifer, Rinoa
IX:Armarant, Garnet, vivi, Garland, (Necron??)
X: Yuna, Symore, Auron, Wakka maybe
XI: take out shantoto
XII: Vayne, Balther
XIII: Lightning, Sazh to put a black guy in it, can't be racist now
