Personally I couldn't care less about the FF12 characters being in, unless those characters were Balthier and someone else related to him or whatever (Cid, I think?).
Ashe might be alright, but I found her character boring. Could just be a personal preference, but I don't think there is anything jumping out about her. I don't like her character design, she isn't unique or anything.
Balthier on the other hand was relatively unique. He was a character. Witty comments, funny attitude, and good design too. If he was in it I'd think "Kool, that is a nice add".
If Ashe were in it I'd probably yawn and say "well at least the rest of the cast is fine".
So if they were to add FF12, I'd rather they pick the more interesting characters than the ones that may have been central to the story. Balthier isn't too far from central to the story anyway as he always refered to himself as "the leading man", and lets face it he was what made that game. In my opinion anyway.
Plus he's be a good fighter, different from the rest. A gunner. No swords, but a gun. Ashe would just use a sword or something and could turn out quite a boring fighter, even if they give her magic. If they have her as a sword weilder and magic summoner type person then they've essentially created another (albeit of worse design and character) Terra.
