Iā€™d love to see Aigis from persona 3 mostly just because Iā€™m an Atlus fanboy. Sheā€™s also an android, so I think sheā€™d contrast the entirely omnic/human/animal cast quite well.

Plus I think her abilities would look pretty neat in-game.

Curious by what you mean/how youā€™d implement ā€œlimited editionā€ heroes though?

Theyā€™ve said they will never do cross-over heroes. Iā€™m all for limited edition heroes.

A character thats only able to be played for a set amount of time, like an event hero!

What a waste of time and resources by the devs for something that is time locked. I donā€™t think this is a good idea.

Iā€™m assuming by ā€˜Limited Editionā€™ you mean a hero that will be available to some players but not others.

I donā€™t think I need to say why thatā€™s a really bad idea.

Limited Edition Heroes

I think Rich is right, people would riot if you took a character away from them!
But I think you could do some cool crossover skins with existing characters for an event. All hypothetical, of course!

Like Metal Gear solid!

D.va Snake/Metal Gear:

McCree as Revolver Ocelot

And Gray fox Genji!

11/10 if the mech is just a box.

ā€œLimited editionā€ would be a horrible idea by both interpretations.

A character that is only usable for a short while will just make people want them all the time. This would be fine if it was as a teaser(like an early reveal/playtest), but they would need to make it abundantly clear the character is in the works. They could also do something weird like make a WoW/Diablo style character skin for a teaser mode, then later reveal the full character. That would actually be kind of cool.

The other interpretation is a character that is only given to players who earn/buy it within a limited period. This isā€¦ bad on so many levels. If the character is good(which is expected of limited things), then it creates a power dynamic between new and old players. If itā€™s bad, even, it means that some players do not have access to all of the game. And that is garbage.

And crossovers? While it would never happen, I would be relatively okay with it if it made sense. Most crossovers are awkward and/or gamebreaking. Crossover skins like someone else said would probably be more likely and better.

ā€œI need your HALP!ā€

Orgia mode would make for either a good ability or a decent ultimate and Persona switching (if weā€™re taking FES Aigis into consideration) would be a cool mechanic.

Personally, Iā€™d like to see Hat Kid from A Hat in Time.
Just look at her!

Who wouldnā€™t love to play as that adorable face?
Hookshot, Brewing Hat, Time Piece Ultimate, thereā€™s a lot to pick from.

We have a character inspired by fighting games, why not one inspired by a platformer?

Though Iā€™d lean away from Limited-time Heroes for a game like Overwatch.
