It was?!?
Then that bodes even better for not only SE and Nintendo's future together but for the appearance of a FF character in SSBB.

I just hope nothing FF related ever touches Smash Bros.

To be honest, I'm pretty neutral on FF characters in SSBB. If we saw one, it would have to have appeared on a Nintendo console previously so that rules out all of the "angst-filled teen" characters which have haunted FF7+.
That leaves the original FF games (including US FF3), Tactics, CC, and now FF3 (which will be out on the DS by the time SSBB is released.
Cloud will not be in SSBB (unless they release FF7 on the DS between now and when SSBB completes development, which ain't very likely) even though he's the most popular FF character to date.
If we did get one, I'd bet it would be a Moogle: they're the enduring symbol of FF and were born on Nintendo consoles. As long as it's not an angst-filled teen Moogle, I'd be fine with it.

Hey I understand wanting to keep traditional Zelda games pure. I get that. But Hyrule and the world of Zelda is rich with history and lore...and I could see a traditional RPG made as an offshoot. People would have never thought a Mario RPG would work...and Square Nintendo made it work...and it was beautiful. Now we have a new franchise.
Why does everybody close their minds to new ideas about games and characters...if it doesn't take away from the original style games being created, then I say go for it.
And as I said before, I think it would be an amazing trade. You know how much money and how huge of a new franchise could be created with Square creating a traditional Zelda Japanese RPG. Or hell, they could even make a Kingdom Hearts with Nintendo franchises instead of Disney.
If I deal like this would get us Dragon Quest exclusive, then I say it is worth the investment.

The thing with Zelda is your to close to the source with an RPG. The closest thing Mario had to an RPG to date when Super Mario RPG happened was Mario 2. Zelda on the other hand sort of falls in that category by lack of category. Also, I'm going to post this in the SSBB thread as well, Miasm(sp?) level would rock.
