You know what I find odd? Konami has been given the reputation of ruining their own franchises like Metal Gear and Castlevania, they've been favoring pachinko machines in Japan...and yet, somehow, not only did they give Sakurai permission for Snake to return in Ultimate (though they didn't record any post-Brawl dialogue for Snake's taunts due to the Colonel's Japanese VA's death), but they gave a ton of representation from Castlevania.

Meanwhile, Square-Enix has been going the opposite route; they did let Cloud return, but he still speaks Japanese, Midgar still has the same two original songs from FFVII, and the only two spirits from Final Fantasy are of both Fighter Spirits of Cloud in his FFVII and Advent Children palettes, in Ultimate's renders instead of their original art.
