I doubt Lenneth would get in there… it does say “Final Fantasy” on it, so not sure other Squeenix characters would be in it.
But we’re forgetting all the Summons! Seriously, who wouldn’t want to kick ass with Shiva or Ifrit or Bahamut?

Along with any boy who’s a) too old for Teletubbies, b) too young for any FPS that isn’t Halo, c) doomed to spend the rest of his life suffering from Low-IQ-Scoreidis and will remain locked away in his parents’ basement until society finds and takes him in, or d) some kind combination of the above.

Gilgamesh is a summon, and if the makers of those FF summons figurines are to be believed then there’s Kefka as well. Also thanks to FFXII Chaos and Exdeath can be considered Summons too. But yes they really should have more summons (Unless they’re being saved as special attacks for certain characters. Which would suck because I want to fight as Gilgamesh against Bartz, Galuf, and Exdeath not have him summoned by Squall. >_<)

I expect the Summons to be like the Pokemon from the Super Smash Bros. games.
I expect that half of those won’t happen. FFU in particular has never really been popular in the FF fanbase. Also, just because Setzer is the only FF6 character to appear in a Nomura game doesn’t mean he’s the only one Nomura will ever deal with.
I expect there’ll be more of a range of main characters and villains from the various numbered FFs with possibly one or two thrown in from Tactics. FF1’s Fighter and FF9’s Zidane and Kuja have already been confirmed.
Something to keep in mind is that a lot of the FF characters have very similiar skillsets. Do we really want half a dozen fighter-with-a-big-sword characters in a fighter?
Cidolfas: True, but I do expect these guys for popularity reasons. You may be right about FFU, but I do expect Setzer to use a combination of his fighting styles in FF6 & KH2.
Setzer didn’t really have a “fighting style” in KH2. It was “whack things with a foam hammer” the same as everyone else in that milieu.
TD: Actually, surprisingly few hero characters have exactly the same style. Cecil is more of a heavy knight, while Cloud wields a giant sword and Squall has a gunblade. Zidane uses thief knives, while any FF12 character is a jack-of-all-trades (except possibly for Balthier and Fran, who start off weighted towards guns and bows, respectively).
Cidolfas: Other than Roxas, everyone had their own style, like Seifer having a fighting stance like in FF8, and some of the movies.
I could Setzer with a sword using his “helicopter slicing” with his card throw attack.
Balthier actually gets a penalty for using guns. He fires guns 0.2 seconds slower than other characters. Go figure. (It’s not really noticeable or major, just an interesting note that the gun user Balthier is the worst gunner.)
Fighting stance and fighting style are very different. Like TD said, having a bunch of characters who all use swords is boring, regardless of how they hold them.
I’m kinda curious to see how standard magic will be handled in this game, or for that matter magic users. I’m hoping that they along with Summoners will get treated well.
My guess is there will be some surprises, and some popular characters left out. I wonder what a reasonable estimate for number of characters would be. What is there…20 in SSMB?
Without doing an exact count, I thought it was closer to 30, or at least 24.
Apparently, there will only be 10 playable heroes in the game, including the ones already confirmed. This does not count villains, for which no number has been given yet. Can’t really find my source right now, will edit this in a few hours.
So hopefully we won’t get every sword-wielding jackass in the series.
