I dont see why he wouldn't be. Hes never been in any of the crossover material as a playable character, but he's always apart of the main three to represent the series in promotional material for the main series itselfWill Corn be in the game?
Since this game seems to be closer to the original jet set radio, I'm assuming beat will most likely be the leader again. I personally think corn fits better and like beat as the cocky rival that tries to surpass him. But who knows, if they go with beat, they may portray it in a cool way.
On a related note, hope the story is more in depth this time around and we see some side stories with each character. I'd like to have some mechanics similar to the persona games where you can level up friendships with members of the gang to unlock content. One of the edges I think the series has over bombrush is its characters. They all have distinct traits to work with based on the first two games, but here they can really flesh everyone out and give us more of an interesting story.
I'm hoping they confirm beat is goji's son for one. Would explain why he'd go out his way to make copies of beat and refer to them as his "sons". Beat's logo is a vinyl record and records are a source of power for goji, so that's another similarity there. It also ties back into beat's original backstory as a runaway. If he's the leader in this game, the gg's could even have been started by him to fight back against his father.
