Despite the fact that the game has been out for nearly two years,Super Smash Bros. Ultimateremains one of the most popular games ever released on the Nintendo Switch. The community of players has grown astronomically over the last several months, including the dedicated members of theSuper Smash Bros.modding community. One such modder has managed to insert the main protagonist from the most recentFinal Fantasytitle.
Quite a number of impressive feats have come from theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatemodding community, especially within the last several months. From havingAmong Usavatars as playable characters to having a playable version ofPepsi Man inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, quite a number of accomplishments have been achieved with a high level of detail. Though, one member of the modding community has gone an extra step further as it were.

One talented user has managed to create a playable version of Noctis Lucis Caelum fromFinal Fantasy 15. It appears the modder used Byleth’s character and move set and remodeled the character to look like Noctis. The final result is incredibly impressive, especially the ways in which Noctis’s weapons swap in and out of battle, much like the gameplay inFinal Fantasy 15itself.
However, this mod does call attention to something rather important, and that’s the fact that there really isn’t much presence in terms ofFinal FantasyinSuper Smash Bros.While the inclusion ofCloud fromFinal Fantasy 7certainly turned a lot of heads and made many fans of the game happy, outside of Cloud, there aren’t any otherFinal Fantasycharacters present in the game.
Given the fact that there’s a whopping total of eightFire Emblemcharacters, essentially taking up roughly one tenth of the total roster of playable characters, one might think that such an influential gaming franchise likeFinal Fantasywould have a greater presence within the game. The lack of additional characters could potentially be due to the fact thatFinal Fantasyis primarily a Sony-exclusive franchise. Then again, that’s precisely what mods like this are for.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what other mods come from the community. Until the next DLC fighter included inFighter Pass Vol. 2is revealed,Final Fantasyfans will have to keep hoping for another addition to the famous fighter.
