Lloyd isn’t restricted to the Tales universe. Namco Bandai is making him a guest character in Soul Calibur Legends with a serious looking character model (thanks for the scan IceAmp!). This is indeed a strange crossover; almost as awkward and cool as seeing Link in Soul Calibur 2.
Nice. I was always a fan of Lloyd’s character desgin, and I imagine his speedy dual-wield sword style will be fun to play with.
Yay! Soul Calibur Legends now owns!
Even though Soul Calibur IV isn’t coming on the Wii, this game looks like a nice transation to fighting to action-adventure game that PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers are going to miss out.
I figure some Namco character was going to be included as a character. Lloyd just might be a bonus character (sorry….), but this design kicks more then someone’s behind and using Lloyd’s swords and styles will be a unique way to play! Pac-Man, Klonoa and even that Dig Dug guy would also be a welcoming addition as bonus characters, and would provide a unique style of play (Pac-Man would fight using his boxing gloves, Klonoa would use the Wind Ring and of course, the Dig Dug Guy uses his pumps and jackhammers).

Arcadia is more cult than the Barbie Horse Adventure fanclub, I can see why they are sticking to well known characters like Lloyd.
I think he was going to Mushroom Kingdom/Brawl and lost it’s way.

… and? Just because a character is “well known” doesn’t mean they’re good. Just look at Lucario. (O yah, I went thar)
Not only is Arcadia not as well known, but it’s not even made by the same company. I don’t blame them for using one of their own characters. But honestly, I like Lloyd. He’s an okay character, although I liked Presea more in terms of ToS characters.
Kratos would be my choice of ToS characters to be in Soul Calibur.
However of all the Namco game characters I would pick the Prince from Katamari Damacy, he doesn’t need a sword, he can roll mountains on you.

Strange indeed.. from the cute cel-shaded bug eyed Lloyd to an ultra-realistic one, kind of cool though.
