Alphen and Shionne
Ew no please
It just makes no damn sense from any perspective on the matter outside of maybe Bamco throwing their weight around and forcing it on Cygames due to some old collab contract or something in order to try and drum up attention for some desperate sales.
Tales of arise is not bad. The tales series has bigger enemies from within. Tales of luminaria got canceled and the game was decent, that franchise deserves a console release not some gacha trash.
If anything I'd be happy to see playable arise characters ingame.
I don't understand how anyone can find that game good if you actually had your brain turned on when playing the game. Everything from Law's stupid revenge bad turn out of nowhere to the stupid ♥♥♥♥ like the Nanomachines and Rena being an apple core planet, crap like the "You were the same the whole time!" reveal at the end running counter to the point of Dohalim's character arc of uniting disparate people in spite of their differences, characters just not developing gradually like other Tales games and instead developing in huge bursts if at all (save for Dohalim, whose arc gets butchered by the story itself after it is done), Rinwell's arc suddenly flipping around and changing topic because of bullcrap writing with Law suddenly having a Revenge bad philosophy out of nowhere with no hints toward it prior, Shionne being a ♥♥♥♥♥ the whole game with trauma as a crutch only to suddenly get better than turn on any semblance of character development she had to backstab the party BECAUSE WE GOTTA HAVE A TRAITOR IN A TALES GAME, and those are just a few elements. The story has more holes than swiss cheese and everything is set up around these stupid reveals and twists that would make even M. Night Shyamalan blush from how stupid they are. Characters don't even have good chemistry like Zestiria or Dawn of the New World did so that doesn't at least make the story tolerable, either.
Gameplay isn't much better, too.
Explain to me at least this point. How does a technologically advanced society who is doing all sorts of medical and magical research never discover that the source of their power were a bunch of Nanomachines? How are the Nanomachines able to travel from parent to child without being detected and without weakening the magic powers of the parent? How are there genetic factors of lesser and more powerful magic showing with these nanomachines when they seem to be the direct source of the magic and should be evenly split? How are the Renans not becoming weaker by generation across the board?
An element introduced for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ twist ruins the rest of the story because it doesn't synergize with the hints already made about the happening and varying powers of Renan magic and it doesn't make sense for a medically and scientifically advanced society to not notice these things.
And that's just one twist, the game is full of these things. Twists or story beats made for the sake of drama or shock value without proper buildup or hint toward such.
So I suggest you link the review instead so people can go read it if they want before any mod gives you a 24h vacation for doing what you're doing.

You can also check the negative reviews in general and notice a lot of similar complaints. The game is a significant step down from prior entries and in general is a massive disrespect to the games that came before on par with things like Fallout 3/4 compared to the earlier ones in that series or AssCreed falling off a cliff.
I'll leave you to it.
By the way, I really don't care about what other people say about a game, I care about my personal enjoyment. I never looked at a review and said "welp, not I'm not buying it"
People can like what you consider bad games, and people can have fun with them. I liked zestiria ffs, and it's one of the worst games in the series. Even worse than Arise, but it's still fun.
Trying to police what everyone else should or should not like is not something that's seen very well in the gaming community.
Personally while ToA did plenty of misteps the originality and potential of the kits of the characters were not one of them and as purely a kit to play with both characters would be great additions.
Having a character that plays well is all I care, not from where it is.
Aside from that, I very much doubt that they will release in the game.
Granblue has plenty of characters that people are dying to see on HD, they will bring those before anything else, and the game doesn't have to have guest characters.
Personally I'd 100% preffer cygames to bring their original chars and absolutely not a single guest.
The only chars who would actually bring new things to the table are Law, Kisara, and Dohalim. And even then Law's niche is already kind of eaten by Charlotta, he'd just be a punchy flavor of it.
It's also more playable humans in a game filled heavily with playable humans when there's all these Draph, Erune, and Harvin characters from already in the game or from the browser game who could be added to even out the roster.
