I would not have characters from FF XII included unless XI was included aswell, otherwise it seems jumpy. FF XI is a MMO and would have no more or less right to be in the game then all the other FF spinoff titles. "Lets put in characters from Chocobo and the magic picture book, or Crystal chronicles! Or how about the spirits within!!" No, i dout that would happen. So, if XI is out, then XII is out too. And even the most die hard XII fans can agree that SE gave them their share of Ivalice. You must also take note that already, this seems to make for a fairly graphic intensive game, and if people wish to have more characters crammed in the series from previous games, that it would be more workable to cut the franchis at X, otherwise they may as well add characters from the next 5 titles yet to be released in the far future. FFVII, though NOT my favorite FF game at all, is in the absolute center of the franchise, and has so many fans that i it would be impossible for them to simply skip VII on to VIII and get away with it.
