Well, the nominations round is over, that was first 'round' where you could nominate any FF song that would be in the polls. Now we're on to round two of the voting, so you can't nominate any more songs, but you can vote for the 3 songs you like that's already in the polls.
Well, SE said that there'd be more news on the Remake this winter, so I would be pretty disgusted with them if they fell through on that.
I'm sure they'll have something about it, they should keep the fans interested and aware of this, and I don't think they'll want to take too long to release bits of info otherwise people will be tired of it. Maybe.
I think SE put Cloud in a Nintendo game (with Nintendo's consent/cooperation) to inspire hype about the Remake, which apparently it
is working to generate some interest in those who play Smash Bros. but haven't heard of FF VII. It's a good marketing idea, I think.
Hmm, funnily enough I'm not sure how I'd feel about Sora being in a Dissidia game. I like Sora, but Dissidia is supposed to be a FF fighting game, so including other game characters would feel weird. For me it's not so weird to see Cloud in Smash Bros. because they've already included characters like Sonic and Solid Snake, so it's more of an 'all-star' fighting game.
