I said I'd post answers at about this time, but no one has guessed correctly yet. Very close, but not quite right. Should we continue, or shall I post the answer?
-Alleb
I now continue my personal tradition of jumping on bandwagons. Same rules as Ixi's (those being the same rules of all previous games). The answer will, again, be posted this time tomorrow.
-Alleb
Sorry EvilAI, Mattman, Tomash--I got caught up in IRL stuff today, and I'm leaving early tomorrow, so I can't delay the reveal at all.
And so, without further ado...

Granz was right! Only characters with named swords are allowed to come. Conga-rats, Granz! You win, er, a sense of fulfillment and personal pride!
-Alleb
Wasn't expecting that, actually.
-Alleb
That was entirely accidental. I was still thinking it had to do with people in certain kinds of magic existing worlds, but he does eventually have a named sword.
Gilgamesh (Fate Series)
Jayne (Firefly)
Agent Phil Coulson (Agents of Shield)
Varric (Dragon Age)
Rukia Kuchki (Bleach)
Gilgamesh is invited.
Jayne is not.
Agent Phil is not.
Varric is a bit fuzzy, but no, he cannot.
Rukia is invited.
-Alleb
Arya Stark (Game of Thrones)
Beowulf
Eragon (Inheritance Cycle)
Sir Roderick Von Fauntlebottom (Jade Empire)
Sten (Dragon Age)
Wynonna Earp (Wynonna Earp)
I think I am close to having this figured out.

-Alleb
which means this is going great! Let's keep playing!
Thorin can come, though.
-Alleb
I'm going to say no, they cannot come. Turin can, however.
-Alleb
The TF2 one, in case you were wondering.
Black Scottish cyclops being such a frequent character archetype, of course.
Welcome to the party, Demoman!
-Alleb
Movie!Arwen can come, though.
-Alleb
The wiki was... more than a little confusing. He is tentatively invited.
-Alleb
With that in mind, are the following invited:
Justin (El Goonish Shive)
Marth (Fire Emblem)
Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)
Kreyul Arroyal (Nightmare Factory)
I'm only familiar with one of these characters, but my best Google-fu has resulted in these answers:
Justin is not invited.
Marth is invited.
Ichigo is tentatively invited, under the same rules as The Hyper Light Drifter.
Kreyul is not invited.
-Alleb
Is Weiss Schnee invited? How about Ares from Percy Jackson and the Olympians? (Or any version of Ares, really.)
Ares is sliiightly borderline, but no, he is not invited. After some wiki-ing, I've determined that Jaune can come as well, though.

You're inviting swords(wo)men, aren't you? So, I'd guess that Tracer couldn't come, but Genji could?

You're close! Genji is not invited, but Gandalf is.
-Alleb
Is Sayaka Miki (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) invited?
Thorin can come, though.
-Alleb
Okay, how about Arturia (Fate/Stay Night; Fate/Zero)? Can she come?
Could Fate Testarossa (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha) come?

Only characters with named swords are allowed to come!
(I haven't played that, though, so if this seems like literally the only wonky answer in the entire game, discount it.)
-Alleb
Adolin is, though.
-Alleb
(since no one's asked yet)
- Tomash
I'm going to say no, though. He is not invited.
-Alleb
(and re: Vader, since he's not invited, who is?)
Och, sorry; I couldn't think of anyone from the Star Wars series who's invited. Dalinar can come, though.
-Alleb
He's a cool dude. But Aragorn can come!
-Alleb
(back to shooting blindly)
Bilbo can come, though--for the same reason Frodo can.
-Alleb
(hypothesis time)
The rest, however, must stay in England.
-Alleb
And how about Simba (aka lion!Hamlet)?
No one from Portal is, actually.
