Final Fantasy is FINALLY represented in Smash Bros

Megaman, Pac Man, Mario, ROB, Duck Hunt Duo, DK, Pit, Little Mac, Link, Kirby and so many more still, so many retro NES heroes have gotten their rightful place to defend their honour in Smash. I love it how Nintendo still sees the value in their old franchises. NES REMIX, Hyrule Warriors, Nintendo Land, Super Mario Maker, Smash and more, so many games are still loyal to us old school gamers who grew up with or simply love the NES so much!

Final Fantasy started out on the NES, Nintendo and Square haven't always seen eye to eye in the past few generations but none the less, I always remembered the old days, I have always wanted Final Fantasy to be represented in Smash. Final Fantasy NEEDED to be represented in Smash.

Now, when they did it, I somehow always expected them to go back to the NES era, use a Black Mage, you can't get more iconic than that. A magic user, not another sword fighter. But Nintendo saved Square, gave birth to Final Fantasy, half of the main series was exclusive to Nintendo consoles and still hold some of the best in the line to this day so it was about time they acknowledged that somehow. Black Mage or not.

Final Fantasy VII is my least favourite in the main series, it is also not that retro with a gazillion revivals and spin offs and not very representative for Final Fantasy on Nintendo. On top of that Cloud is my least favourite character from said game BUT I do understand why Nintendo did this and it is still a brilliant marketing move and great for business and the future for Nintendo and Square.

Here is to hoping the Mii costume set will have some Black Mage goodness in it!
