 *[[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that he could have included ''Final Fantasy'' characters such as [http://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Onion_Knight_(Final_Fantasy_III) Onion Knight] from ''Final Fantasy III'', [http://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Bartz_Klauser Bartz Klauser] from ''Final Fantasy V'' or [http://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Terra_Branford Terra Branford] from ''Final Fantasy VI'' in ''Super Smash Bros.'', but it was difficult to think of a ''Final Fantasy'' character to include in the game that was not Cloud.
 *''Final Fantasy'' is the third third-party universe to feature more than one playable character, the others being {{uv|Street Fighter}} and {{uv|Castlevania}}.
-**Of these universes, ''Final Fantasy'' is the only one to not feature Echo Fighters.
 *''Final Fantasy'', {{uv|EarthBound}}, {{uv|Persona}}, and {{uv|Dragon Quest}} are the only universes without playable characters from the first installment in their series in ''Super Smash Bros.''
-**Incidentally, all of them are JRPG series.
-**Of these, ''Final Fantasy'' is the only one to both be third-party and have multiple playable characters (not counting Hero's alternate costumes). It is also the only one to have multiple characters that come from the same game.
 *Several ''Final Fantasy'' characters representing generic classes and creatures had previously crossed over with the {{uv|Mario}} universe in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Hoops 3-on-3}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Sports Mix}}'', both of which were developed by Square Enix. ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}'' was also developed by Square Enix and references the ''Final Fantasy'' series, including an [[mariowiki:Culex|optional boss]] designed as an allusion to the ''Final Fantasy'' series.
 *{{s|wikipedia|Nobuo Uematsu}}, who composed most of the music in the mainline ''Final Fantasy'' series, also composed the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme|main theme]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
 *''Final Fantasy'' creator Hironobu Sakaguchi directed {{uvm|The Last Story}}, whose main characters Zael and Calista appear as trophies in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and as spirits in ''Ultimate''.
-*''Final Fantasy'' is the first playable third-party universe with a game published by Nintendo worldwide, as Nintendo published ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles}}'' for the Nintendo GameCube; the other two are {{uv|Bayonetta}} and {{uv|Banjo-Kazooie}}.

-*''Final Fantasy'' and {{uv|Fire Emblem}} are the only universes to have multiple playable characters introduced through [[DLC]] (though this honour extends to the {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} universe if [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] are counted as separate) , as well as the only universes to introduce DLC characters in different ''Smash'' games.
+*''Final Fantasy'', {{uv|Fire Emblem}}, and {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} are the only universes to have multiple playable characters introduced through [[DLC]], and the former two are the only universes to introduce DLC characters in multiple ''Smash'' games.
-*''Final Fantasy'', {{uv|Mega Man}}, {{uv|Castlevania}}, {{uv|Dragon Quest}}, and {{uv|Banjo-Kazooie}} are the only third-party universes that debuted on a [[Nintendo]] system; the first four debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and the last debuted on the Nintendo 64.
-*''{{s|wikipedia|Xenogears}}'' from the [[Xenoblade Chronicles (universe)|''Xeno'']] series began as an early concept for Square's ''Final Fantasy VII''. The company deemed it to be "too dark and complicated for a fantasy", but its creator, Tetsuya Takahashi, was allowed to develop it as a separate project.
-*''Bravely Default'', which is represented in ''Smash'' through spirits, was originally conceived as a sequel to ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light}}''. This version was abandoned early in development because the development team wanted to make a new brand that would stand out.
 *Kazushige Nojima, scenario writer for many titles in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, was hired by Sakurai to help in writing the story for ''[[The Subspace Emissary]]''.
 *''Final Fantasy'' is the only universe to introduce a new company after the initial release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
-*With a record-low of three trophies, ''Final Fantasy'' has the fewest amount of trophies of all the third-party franchises in the entire series, excluding franchises exclusive to ''Ultimate'', which does not have trophies.
+*''Final Fantasy'' had by far the lowest amount of representation of any major third-party franchise represented in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series prior to ''Ultimate'''s Fighter Pass 2, for reasons never officially stated; however, it was mentioned by Sakurai in Sephiroth’s presentation that the lack of music from the series prior to his release was due to issues concerning copyright in different nations, with the same reasoning also potentially applicable to other content from the series.
-**It is also the only third-party series not to have a trophy of another character besides the playable character. That said, Zack Fair and Sephiroth are mentioned across the ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' trophies' descriptions.
+**With a record-low of three trophies, all of which only featured the series' playable character, ''Final Fantasy'' has the fewest amount of trophies of all the third-party franchises in the entire series, excluding franchises exclusive to ''Ultimate'', which does not have trophies.
-***This was also the case through [[spirit]]s in ''Ultimate'', as Cloud was the only representation from ''Final Fantasy'' in ''Ultimate'' before more spirits were added alongside Sephiroth.
+**Despite most stage prop characters or objects getting trophies and the Midgar stage playing host to several ''Final Fantasy'' summons, the summons did not get trophies in ''SSB4'' and only two received spirits in ''Ultimate'' in 10.1.0.

+**The ''Final Fantasy'' universe is the only base-game third-party major universe to not have any [[Assist Trophy]] representation in ''Ultimate''. Additionally, only two songs appeared in ''Ultimate'' initially, making it the third-party universe with the least amount of music representation at first.

 * ''Final Fantasy'' is the first and only third party universe to feature a playable villain.
-*''Final Fantasy'' and ''Castlevania'' are the only universes to have M-rated games, but not to have all of their playable characters in ''Smash'' appear in one.
+*Excluding minor universes and downloadable contents, ''Final Fantasy'' and {{uv|Wario}} are the only universes in ''Ultimate'' to not have unlockable music tracks.

-**Excluding minor universes and downloadable contents, ''Final Fantasy'' and {{uv|Wario}} are the only universes in ''Ultimate'' to not have unlockable music tracks. If Namco universes are counted separately, {{uv|Pac-Man}} also shares this distinction.
+*''Final Fantasy'' in ''Ultimate'' is the only universe to have Mii Outfits for all three types of [Mii] fighters.
