It's possible they could use a Warrior of Light from FFI, using the redesign for the Warrior class seen in Dissidia.
But I don't think that's very likely. I really don't think Final Fantasy has a big shot at this game.
In other topics, I'm worried about Sonic. I hope that Mega Man's Rush Coil move isn't a sign of... well, repurposing assets, if you will.

I have a message from another time...If they were to choose someone from FF then my ideal character would probably be a composite of the six classes. Sort of like what Warrior of Light was doing although maybe not him specifically. They could also choose Cecil or Terra but I feel like WOL would be the most logical choice since he's technically one of the heroes from the first game.
Not too big a fan of Dragon Quest so I can't comment on that.
There are also other characters like Neku, Sora, and Chrono that they could use but those franchises aren't nearly as popular as the other two.
I'm fairly confident he'll be in. They pretty much have to at this point and Sega and Nintendo have a close relationship anyway.

It seemed to be hinting at something but so far nothing has come of it. It's also possible that a sequel could be for the iOS instead of 3DS.
Anyway, getting away from that. I thought about it and Sora probably wouldn't happen. Nintendo would have to license him from Disney and that would be fairly expensive. It's also questionable how important he is to Nintendo's history.
It probably depends on how important the Grandfather Clause is when Sakurai is choosing third parties.
Square rep should be Red Mage/Black Mage, Cecil, Terra, or Slime from Dragon Quest.
Or Gilgamesh!
Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!As far as 3rd party characters go, I just hope they don't go overboard. Even Sakurai said they likely won't anyway. So the chances of seeing Cloud are minimal, at least for now.
EDIT: Besides, they said the number of characters won't increase by too much from Brawl. We'll likely see 40 characters in total.

135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 31139 including them. It's 35 if you count form changers as one whole character.

Since I know rather little about Dragon Quest, and it's rather less famous than Final Fantasy, I'd say they would probably choose someone from FFI-VI.
Probably one of the original classes from FFI, Cecil from FFIV, or Terra from FFVI.
