Merlin will most definitely be in the RPG. He is one of the most integral characters in the series! And, with Hollow Bastion guaranteed, and Camelot being a possible addition, we may as well say the wacky wizard is a necessity. So be happy!

The Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't Disney, nor Square Enix property, they had to get ask to use it from Mr. Burton.
Actually, Touchstone Pitcures (a division of the Walt Disney Company, teehee) made that movie. It's called "
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" because the highly acclaimed Tim burton wrote/directed it.
It's like the Pixar Films. When the Kingdom Hearts games were in production, Pixar had legal ownership of all the films it had made with Disney and would not have them included - which, let me tell you,
crushed Nomura-san. Fortunately, Pixar itself is now property of Disney.
Hm, ya know, that could be the reason why some of the poular Final Fantasy characters haven't appeared yet. Despte common belief, Tetsuya Nomura does NOT own Final Fantasy; instead, he was the head of character design for several of the more popular installments. The Gullwings weren't even his! I imagine there are some characters he simply can not use.
And, yes, alternate realities can be oh so confusing.
However, as much as we all love Lovecraftian horror, Harmonixer
would break the Disney/Squeenix rule. If we break that, there is little to stop pestering for any title in this wide world. The "Definitive RPG" would rapidly devolve into just another generic blob of fan-service; this project is just as much a tribute to Mr. Nomura and his great efforts as it is fun for fans.
Sorry, Parami, but I must say no.
