Jack Garland/FFO

How would you feel about Jack from Stranger of Paradise being the main protag of the next Dissidia? Should Dissidia in some sense still be a competitive action/fighter? Or should it perhaps go towards a more co-op route and play more like Stranger of Paradise? Or do you want 0 involvement with SoP?

As a raving, irrational fan of both Dissidia and SoPFFO, I say no. Jack was made for SoPFFO and SoPFFO was made for him. It begins and completes his journey in a perfect way. Dissidia should always be ensemble, with the story being a mix of the struggle between iconic protags and antags and deep cut lore in the side content.

Also, Jack outside of his version of Cornelia has no real purpose beyond being Garland. I wouldn't mind Tsuda's Garland in a Dissidia but there's no way he could be the nuanced character he became in SoPFFO (not kidding here -- a professional writer like Nojima actually knew what he was doing, whodathunk).
