Again, negotiations would have to go through Disney, not Square. Any relationship with Square would be Sakurai being nice with the developers, not because they were necessary.
I swear that some people here completely ignore logic and common sense and argue semantics in an attempt to "win" some imaginary argument instead of just seeing why people speculate certain things and why it makes sense.
I don't even think Sora is totally unlikely, I just think people need to be straight with what they say.
I am going to hazard a guess that you have 0 idea what kind of negotiations Sakurai and Nintendo enter into with various third party companies. Maybe they would have to talk to Disney to use Sora. But it doesn't matter. Sora would still count as a "Square Rep" as he is from Square developed and published games. If someone saw Sora in Smash and told some leaker that Sora is in Smash, the obvious thing people would say is that he is a "Square rep". He is 100% qualified to be considered a Square Rep.
I'll give you that.
So what you are saying is we have no idea what to expect unless we know what are Vergeben's source's opinions on the limbo status of Sora's ownership. Let's make a truce then and call him Schrodinger's Sora for the time being.
Don't get me started on the guy from yesterday who tried to claim that since FF first came out in the 80s (nevermind that it didn't released outside of Japan until 1990) that Cloud in Smash was representing an "80s franchise", and that Street Fighter was likewise an "80s franchise" despite not becoming widely popular or iconic until SF2 in the 90s.
All I'm saying is that if you use common sense 99% of people on this planet would consider Sora a "Square Rep" and/or a "Square Character" due to the Kingdom Hearts games being entirely developed and published by Square-Enix. A very small percentage know or care that he is truly owned by Disney.
The only good Sora is KH1 Sora. Rolling > flipping around the air like a lunatic
Well they never stopped having chances since box theory is... Just a theory based on a box.
I wouldn't go that far
Final Fantasy and Street Fighter remained relevant.
The core of my argument, and all I'm going to say about it again before I go to bed, is that GnG absolutely is not more likely (or even as likely) to make it into the game as another Capcom franchise over Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Monster Hunter. And it being an older franchise with history on Nintendo platforms does not give it priority over those.
Basically. Yeah. GnG is sub-Castlevania in popularity and iconography, and even that is certainly the least popular of the currently represented third party franchises (Bayonetta excepted)
You could really do two more stages from Odyssey and Breath of the Wild each if they wanted to.
Easy answer is stages related to newcomers or franchises not revealed yet. Like imagine if August Direct announced Rhythm Heaven, new Xenoblade, new Pokemon & Mario RPG stage. That'd be crazy.
It does tho
On that note, I will concede that, upon reflection, Lin did have monado hairclips lol
Well, exactly! And so I think if there are five stages yet to be revealed, each one is associated with a newcomer. Just the business from here on out.
Pokémon X and Y have two stages so it's not without precedent.
yes, but that was a game with 60 new stages. this one isn't
