I swear, this is unintentional. If we both share the same thoughts, then it must be coincidence.

One of the match-ups I want to see is Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI) vs. Millia Maxwell (Tales of Xillia), since both are mage-type sword fighters with the ability to use elements and summons in battle. However, the likelyhood of this happening is very low for both characters. Terra is not as popular as other FF protagonists like Cloud, Squall, Lightning, and Noctis, and Milla's case is more obvious, coming from a really obscure and niche series.

As for Artorius, well... I'm a bit iffy about Tales villains ever making the cut. The reason is simply because they're not as popular as Final Fantasy villains. I mean, FF villains are straight-up morally black, being portrayed as maniacs who want to destroy the world and become a god (look no further than Sephiroth and Kefka for that). This gives the protagonists, and by extension, the player, a true reason to actually stop them, which is why they've become so memorable. Tales villains, on the other hand, are morally grey, being portrayed as "heroes" who want to save the world by more extreme methods than the protagonists (examples include Dhaos, Mythos, Van Grants, and of course, Artorius). This creates more of a divide between the protagonists and the villains, since both are pursuing roughly the same goal, just under different reasons. However, to the player, this divide makes Tales villains less memorable and less popular than FF villains. To compare Artorius to Griffith would be just putting it mildly, since Griffith is more morally black than Artorius, and thus makes Griffith more popular than him. There's a reason the term "love to hate" exists.
