i just rewatched the trailer, and the impression I get is that the old characters are functionally just like equipment or summons. Maybe closest to Personas?

It doesnt seem like theyll have agency of their own within the plot, so I dont really see it as a problem for the narrative. Its just fanservice

I still think it's really stupid, but if these characters literally don't have any autonomy whatsoever than I will at least tentatively say it's possible, even if the game is still aesthetically bad (visually the style of the game just straight of looks like FEH. Obviously from an engine standpoint the game looks better than 3H).

If the characters are actually, like, characters in the story then I don't think there's any hope. It has never once been pulled off in anything with good results. Right now everything about the vibe looks like it's trying to be Genshin Impact without the gacha rolls (not ruling those out)

I want games to have their own rich narratives and be self contained, unless it's a direct sequel. If I'm playing FFXVI and suddenly they're like "You can now summon Cloud and Tidus with these mystical ancient materia!" then that would be fucking embarrasing, there's no real difference here. Fanservice shit is always a huge turnoff for me, it's so cheap and shallow.
