Some recent additions from the last time, I'm sure. Most notably: Dhaos, Barbatos, and out of right field, the summon Celcius, in her original Eternia form. We don't know how they all fit in the game, but hopefully Celcius is playable.
Also, Longneck-I mean Claire Bennet.
Celcius Trivia: I can actually see Celcius being picked. Not only is she the most popular summon, but she's also made it into the popularity poll 4 years running. In fact, in the first year, she almost beat out the future champ, Kratos, who was in the top 3. She's dropped in ranking since then, but has always been on it.
Another bit of justification is she was the only playable summon in the Narikiri games, while the rest were relegated to their normal role. These are something of the spiritual predecessors to Radiant Mythology, including being made by the same people.
List comes from Tales forum on the topic. Most recent listing of the characters.

Canceled due to inactivity.
I'm hoping for a late August or early september 2009 release. If you look at the dates for the first RM they released it in Japan December 21, 2006 and followed with a July 17, 2007 release in North America. Hopefully they keep that same span of time or shorten it. And, btw, I'm super excited for this one. Jade's in it. Garr's playable. Keele's in it. And Kratos, Chester and Leon are back again. There's so many characters that I think I'm going to have a hard time choosing between them, though. :/
