A few comments: not ruling out any other non-Nintendo characters (but puts a low limit on who might be added), but they need to have been on at least one Nintendo system at some point.
That still allows Cloud :D (Chain of Memories anyone?), but I doubt that.
Further, he intends on making the game even easier to pick up and play. Not sure what he intends on doing, but as great as the first and second games were, it should be an improvement.
He also states he's not really going to focus much on characters that are Japan-only, though he notes the clamor for a number of Japan only Fire Emblem characters. This shouldn't affect us much considering we have 3 Fire Emblem games now (could have had 4 if Nintendo had brought the first GBA one over, which they still can, as they are now officially selling games they don't think will sell very much as "Nintendo online store exclusives", which is where Elektroplankton can be found, complete with cheap arse printer paper instruction manual).
I would like to see, considering the limit of perhaps 2 or 3 more non-Nintendo characters, Megaman, Simon Belmont, and Sora. That should cover all bases.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
