This definitely seems like something that was agreed between Bandai Namco & Square-Enix well before Final Fantasy XVI actually came out, and promptly became one of the less liked FF games, for a variety of reasons.

I would have to imagine Harada is probably thinking "I'm never letting my bosses decide a DLC guest character for Tekken well in advance of the other game's release ever again", because this doesn't feel like a character that Harada himself would have wanted.

Harada wanted Negan in 7, I don't think he's allowed to cast any judgement on off-the-mark DLC picks.

^ Negan makes so much more sense for Mortal Kombat; I'm still mystified be his inclusion in Tekken.

And now we've got Clive, which... I'm sure SOMEONE wanted in Tekken, surely. I mean, Tifa is RIGHT THERE... but sure. Clive. Makes sense. Good ole Clive Neutral

Clive looks far less out of place than pre timeskip Noctis in Tekken 7.

To be fair if I had to choose any Final Fantasy character to throw in a game Tifa would probably be last before Auron or Jecht
