July 1, 20178 yr Ooh, Bartz could've made a fantastic fighter in Smash Bros. for all the reasons mentioned in this video! I still don't get why Cloud was picked instead of a Nintendo era Final Fantasy character, as that would've made buttloads more sense! But oh well, what's done is done! But hey, Bartz could potentially appear in a future Smash game!
July 1, 20178 yr Omg, I love this video! Bartz is my favorite FF character, and it would've been amazing to see him in SSB WiiU/3DS! It was very interesting too that the video explained how they could utilize Bartz's moves for copying others, and not have him just be a human Kirby. And it would be so cool to see him hanging out with some of my favorite characters, like Kirby and Luigi. I also had no idea that both Bartz and Terra were even considered to be in SSB WiiU/3DS! I thought Cloud was their first pick; the only other one maybe being Sephiroth. Needless to say its amazing that the creators were considering older and (unfortunately) less popular FF characters. Hopefully, that means we may still see Bartz (or another older FF character) be in a SSB game! I still don't get why Cloud was picked instead of a Nintendo era Final Fantasy character, as that would've made buttloads more sense! But oh well, what's done is done! Simple: Cloud is one of, if not the most popular and iconic FF character. The only other FF character to rival him is Sephiroth. So, sadly, it makes sense for the creators to choose such a famous and beloved character like Cloud over an older, more obscure character like Bartz.

Cloud being almost like the poster boy of the franchise does guarantee him more of the spotlight than older FF characters, but I think that's a shame! There's so many beloved FF characters that deserve some love, ya know? I mean, VII may be awesome and all, but it's not the only FF in existence, ya know?
July 2, 20178 yr Yeah, you're right. Cloud being almost like the poster boy of the franchise does guarantee him more of the spotlight than older FF characters, but I think that's a shame! There's so many beloved FF characters that deserve some love, ya know? I mean, VII may be awesome and all, but it's not the only FF in existence, ya know? It definitely is a shame, since I believe that there are far better FF characters than Cloud. There's Bartz, Zidane, Kain, Vivi, Locke, Rydia, geez I could go on and on, so I better stop here. And yeah, I really wish SE would stop forgetting about the older FF games. I mean, it almost seems like FFVII was the first FF, with the way they're treating the series. Personally, I don't even like FFVII; it felt too Sci-fi-y for my liking. FFIV, V, VI and IX are much better, imo.

Not to say that the more modern ones aren't great, but there's just something about IV and IX that keeps me coming back! But hey, in the future, if Sakurai decides to make another Smash game, hopefully Nintendo era FF characters make the cut!
he has a lot of it
