When a direct competitor of Nintendo is more willing to contribute than you, you're part of the problem
There was really nothing stopping Square from allowing an Octopath Traveler spirit event
Only other explanation is that Square thinks Smash is a competitor to Dissidia. When Dissidia is not even Smash's league.

I could imagine that when the put Cloud in Smash 4, Square thought it was a one-off thing that they would never do again and then Sakurai told them everyone would come back in Ultimate, they’d look like the biggest assholes in the industry if they passed up.
Square could have burned down our crops, ruined our water supply, and brought plague to our houses and that would have not compared to the shitstorm of being the only person to not return for Ultimate
Pantheon server for all who click here. Lost too much money and time, this coaster ain’t stopping.Every DLC from 4 got more content in Ultimate. More songs, more spirits, a couple assist trophies, hell Street Fighter got an additional Fighter but Cloud coudnt even get a png from his own series and only uses his smash artwork.
Meanwhile, Konami casually returns with 3 fighters, Capcom doubles the amount of content they have in the previous game and SNK casually brings 5 times more songs in a new fighter.
Only Namco has less content that square

Oh yeah, Namco.
Holding everything from Sora, it is strange that Namco-Bandai helped codevelop Ultimate yet have not even anything besides Pacman

I’m expecting something from Namco to come out of the second DLC wave, like Tekken or Soulcalibur since they are freaking fighting games
Pantheon server for all who click here. Lost too much money and time, this coaster ain’t stopping.Here’s how much each third party (that has a playable character) has in Ultimate:
- Konami: 3 characters, two stages, about 40 music tracks, a bunch of Spirits, 3 assist trophies, 1 Mii costume
- Sega: 3 characters, 4 stages, about 40 music tracks, a bunch of Spirits, 4 assist trophies, some Mii costumes
- Capcom: 3 characters, 2 stages, about 60 music tracks, a bunch of Spirits, 3 assist trophies, some Mii costumes
- Bandai-Namco: 1 character, 1 stage, about 20 music tracks, some spirits, 1 assist trophy
- Square-Enix: 2 characters, 2 stages, about 10 music tracks, very few spirits, some Mii costumes
- Microsoft Game Studios: 1 character, 1 stage, a few Spirits, about 10 music tracks, 1 Mii Costume if we consider Cuphead to be a Microsoft character (they funded the game)
- SNK: 1 character, 1 stages, a few Spirits, about 50 music tracks, some Mii costumes

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!With Ms. Pacman, Namco actually didn't have the rights to her until relatively recently if I recall.

It’s because Ms Pacman was originally a fanmod they bought out and Bandai had to sue those guys to get back Ms Pacman’s copyright. There explains why there is no Ms Pacman echo.
Plus, I don’t think there will be any echo fighters in the first place in the DLC packs, as they said all characters would be original and dont want whiny consumers being ripped off

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

I remember that he was in World FF but obviously, Square Enix could get away with that since it’s their own property and that as you’ve said, they don’t even need to lay the voice actors of Sora because there are no lines.
Think of Smash, they would have to pay Haley Joel Osment who is a semi-celebrity and the Japanese voice (I don’t know), organize with Disney for the character, ask Tetsuya Nomura for the art for the DLC Spirits (that is still disregarding if there even will be Disney spirits), license music from Yoko, and that’s even mentioning the development of Sora’s stage and model itself. If Square Enix is stingy with Cloud (if Square was the only person who didnt return for Smash, they would look like the biggest assholes in the industry), I’m sure they would be even more protective towards Sora.
Finally, Disney wants all the money. They would have to cut the DLC with Square and Nintendo, something that they dont think is lucrative enough to justify Sora being there. Disney Japan would know this the most considering the obvious: Japan which is why they refused most likely. Blame capitalism folks
