In one of those "Did You Know Gaming" type facts, Namco originally had plans for Final Fantasy VII's Cloud to be the special guest fighter for the PS2 version of Soul Calibur II.

They had a tentative deal in place to use the character but something happened at the last minute causing it to be shelved. Tekken's Heihachi was used as a quick replacement to ensure each version of the game still had an exclusive fighter.

Came from a recent 8-4 Play podcast episode with Ubisoft's Nao Higo and Jason Shroeder as the guests. At the time of Soul Calibur II, Higo was the Localization Producer for Namco.
