I think Edge would def go to Yuffie--unfortunately my boy Zack (favorite character obv) misses out on a lot of these collabs but that's alright. They'll def wait until Cid is out for a FF4 collab cuz he's the obvious Kain parallel in my eyes.
Not... Cid?
But yes, the Highwind boys matching is the more obvious answer.
Honestly I can see them making Tifa be Yang and just give her a vaguely similar hair style and covering of some sort so she's not...shirtless. But making her Rosa would be really nice, a better option for sure, so I hope they do that.
If they give Tifa an FFIV monk inspired fit, give her his daughter Ursula. Her look would be amazing on Tifa.
Well since Cecil has two iconic outfits, his Dark Knight and Paladin look, I could see them splitting those two designs between Zack and Cloud. I suppose the Dark Knight look would fit Cloud’s demeanor more. Though the Paladin outfit could fit thematically with Cloud rediscovering his true self.
Or a design that combines the two thematically, somehow. One side dark one side light.
As an aside, that Cecil of all people has never cameo'd in a fucking Kingdom Hearts is goddamn criminal.
The only way I could see them giving Edge’s outfit to Zack over Yuffie, is if they gave Aerith Rydia’s outfit and wanted to reference how Edge has a crush on Rydia (I believe it was more evident in the 3D remake of FFIV).
It was pretty blatant way back when. Even as a babu playing the simplified translation it was obvious.
But he also fits Edge's general personality, but then again so does Yuffie, which is why it's a tossup.
I agree that both of those were pretty weak, but Cloud doesn't really have a direct equivalent in IX or VI. And if people want to be shippers about it, Locke and Terra aren't the couple in VI so...there you go
Ironically Cloud's closest personality match in IX is probably Amarant himself.
And I think Celes is actually a pretty good lore match for Cloud, with Kefka matching up a lot for Seph's lore, if not aesthetic.
And Tifa's IX outfit is far and away the best thing that's ever been done with Amarant.
This is true. He's done dirty by his own game.
And Hugo-Tifa would be insane. There's no way she doesn't get Jill, lol.
Yeah, if that collab happens they'd be insane not to give Tifa Jill. Give Hugo to Barret. Cid, naturally, goes to Cait Sith. : ba dum tish :
I honestly just don't see why it matters that much for these kinda things. I personally could care less if things they get in collabs represent the opposite main characters or not in the hero and heroine roles. Hell Cloud got Locke who isn't even the protag of 6 in the first place.
Everyone in VI is the protag of VI. That's sort of the point. It's extremely ensemble and almost everyone gets a chance at being the POV character for a bit.
