If you haven't seen it yet, there's a trailer that shows a bunch of different characters, and I'm thrilled that there are so many non-human options, though like you say, I'm praying that they aren't just filler that'll never see the light of play.

Ye, I'd seen that one. I just didn't realize there was a lich amongst the crowd of known characters.

And the whole "are filler" bit hits way too hard after recently (ish) playing through V. Like, I get that not everyone can be equal when you have roughly 70-80 playable characters, but geez does it feel bad to have the various Pretty Boy squads continue to be the best thing you can be doing in every game (they may have skipped on the actual attack in III/IV, but it wasn't like they didn't have direct comparables + it wasn't the attack itself that made you use Alen + Flik in I/Futch + Luc in II/etc.). By comparison you have overtly non-joke characters (who I'm at least willing to give a pass as "being a joke" and "not being good" are understandable) who are just flat out awful when compared to the baseline of the rest of the cast.
