Moreover, in a new interview with IGN, Katsuhiro Harada discussed the possibility of adding another Final Fantasy character to Tekken 8 after the game added Clive Rosfield of Final Fantasy XVI as its 4th DLC fighter. Harada states that the team isn’t limited to one character from Final Fantasy, and “might” be cool if another was added, but that’s not something the developers themselves can decide alone.
