Well, Final Fantasy XIII has been unveiled but details are still extremely sparse. What are some of the things that you hope make it into this installment of the series?
Female protagonist...man my wish is already come true.
Lesbian romance or no romance at all
A few songs on the soundtrack done by Guilty Gear's Daisuke Ishiwatari
A protagonist that isn't a little emo pissant
JOB-MOTHER smurfING -CLASES
Voice acting that doesn't suck
I'm hoping for a more refined real-time combat engine. Those action sequences look like they could be a lot of fun if you have a lot more control. Maybe move towards a more Kingdom Hearts scheme, possibly with character switching like in Star Ocean III.
I really have to see more, but I'm intrigued with the setting and will probably have several hopes when more is released.
I just want it to be fun. I haven't had fun in a FF game in a long, long time.
What are you all TALKING about??
There was a female protagonist and JOB-MOTHER smurfING -CLASES in X-2!!! Arent you satisfied??
ah, gimme some good old turn-based rpg action.
another memorable nobuo sountrack
sick ass chocobos is futuristic armor
a magic system more like VI or VII
a story so great it'll go down in history as "truly the best story"
Well, Uematsu isn't the main composer anymore. Might mean some fresh new talent, might mean lacking musical quality.
Obviously I'm hoping for the former of the two.
200 hours of gameplay.
a ridge racer like mini game.
no swords
no guns
chocobos that fly
a chocobo that joins your party and fights with you (and can fly)
four playable characters. No more, no less.
I also want a fighting game mini-game.
You guys make me sick... YOU ALL FORGOT ABOUT :mog: !
As long as (and i think they are) Uematsu and Amano are behind it ill be happy ;). If i was dreaming they could bring back the junction system...... hell anything from 8 would do:D
I still believe Tina was the main character of FFVI, but to each their own. :cat:
Still, looks pretty cool. Although I can already see the old-school people bitching about it being too technological. I got over my complaints at XII, so nothing will really surprise me anymore.
Im old school and I love how this is looking.
Im also wanting a character who fights with his/her fists. One who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty.
I just want this to be as awesome as the trailer makes it look. I am 90% sure Square won't dissapoint.
I hope its a normal battle system, none of this running around seeing a monster, targeting, etc, I want the screen to flash and then you're in a battle.
I hope the world gets destroyed at the end and you don't save everybody :O!! *Twisted*
Moogles called Ted and Frank
Chocobo called GLC (Goldie Looking Chocobo)
Seriously
Wonderfully designed swords (never a FF without them.)
A story that will echo throughout the ages.
Kickass characters.
Amazing music that brings you into the game so much, that you feel like someone created you on their high-tech computer. (Uematsu should be hired to do this.)
Turn-based fighting (i mean lets not lose the whole plot about what the battling system is supposed to traditional be, not bloody soul caliber.)
turn based rpg
no guns
lots of swords.
chocobos
moogles
obviously we wont have the old style knights and kings liveing in castles traveling on foot and chocobo but hopefully they'll go back to that one day this future age stuff isnt what final fantasy was orginally about.
bring back the crystals
Actual control of the airship and a real world map. none of that FFX airship flying where you pick a spot and bam you're there.
a dragoon character
but looks good so far and i like the idea of a female main character a nice change. but that trailer is'nt 100% it could end up being a guy as the main character. look at other trailers for other video games you'll notice a lot fo scenes that never happen and a lot of misleading stuff. but im still hopeing its a female main character.
I just wish it will have an amazing storyline.
So far in the trailer they just focused on the action...
yeah that's what I want too..............but it just FEELS like they're going the FFXII way...which I thought they wouldn't do. If they do go the FFXII way, I want it to be more like Kingdom Hearts, more of a free-fighting kind of a style AND multi-player, where up to 4 other people can control 4 other character *grins*:)Quote:

A main hero less gloomy.
A main hero that isn't pretty and feminine looking.
A main hero with a 5 o'clock shadow, possibly, a la Barrett.
A playable robot.
A playable creature that has no hands - just feet/paws/claws. In other words, something that has all feet on the ground or something.
A guy and girl in love.
The option for the guy and girl to actually get married in the middle of the game. So you don't have to diddle-daddle about it like a couple of freaking high school students. God.
More options, on that note. Not options that drastically change the story to have a completely different plot, but enough to give you more control over what kind of character the lead hero is. Maybe you can have a grudgy type, mabye you can have a happy type, maybe you can push into a relationship with one girl or another, maybe... well, you get the idea. Just enough to change the attitude shown in what you say, stuff like that.
A large world map that you can freely roam around after the game ends and stuff. Like, see what the world is like now that you saved it. I've always always always wanted that in an FF game.
An army.
With ninjas.
And wizards.
NINJA WIZARDS!
Maybe some bears, too...
Bears that shoot laser beams out of their eyes.
8-)
Hey Bob, they trailer doesn't REALLY end with the pointed sword, here's a BETTER trailer:Quote:

PS: I agree with most of Bob's list, tough main character, someone like Seifer or Auron(but younger).
I don't care that it ends with it or not. It's the fact that they do it at all that bugs me. It just oozes "same old, same old".Quote:

It's a great idea, send SE an email.
In this day and age, if I send them an email suggesting that, then they're even less likely to do it because of legal matters. :p That, and they wouldn't give a crap about some random fan emailing them.
Ok, we'll all email them, get all the fans around the world also, to email them. Think they would take notice then? :)
Also put, "P.S, This idea is't isnt copyrighted, go on, steel it, i know you want to, we can pretend i never sent this email, you can claim it as your own and have the whole world at your feet"

Although that trailer with the female protagonist looked pretty appealing. In a matrix sort of way. I guess we'll have to wait and see what they really come up with this time.
As well, that so called "female" protagonist looked a little boyish to me. But definitely more female than male. This is just a thought, but I don't suppose they'd ever go with a non-gender specific hero? One of an alien race who don't have 2 different genders, but one unisex gender?
Like I said, just a thought, and not what I'd prefer, by no means.
Edit: Upon further viewing of the trailer, that being is, in fact a female. :p Disregard what I said about the one gender stuff. Although in one closeup shot, she did show some sort of manly characteristics.
EDIT BY BoB: Seriously, it's not that hard to avoid the use of swear words, so please just use something else and stop going around the swear filter, thanks. :) Keep this family-friendly.
Since XIII will have a futuristic setting, then I hope to see a robotic Monk or Ninja, similar to Grobyc from Chrono Cross
Plus, I hope to see the return of fixed classes, like how they did in FF IV and IX
well,i hope final fantasy XIII will theme song will nice like other FF's theme song.I'm chinese, so i hope Uematsu can create a nice song and have chinese version.Maybe u all dunno, internet singer in China already perform Melodies If Life and sudeki Dane in chinese version.And i hope FF XIII story in a new interesthing story since FF XII is base on war between country,FF tactics also.War stroy line kinder boring, if can, make the story line like FF VII, or a love story like FF VIII. I no comment in GamePlay cause i din play FF XII yet since i no ps2 =.= , i play FF X and FF X-2 is borrow ps2 from my friend.Beside that , i also hope the skin will like FF IX (classic style).My wish on FF XIII isn't too much? :P sry for my bad english and i hope FF XIII director staff will read this section to devolope FINAL FANTASY XIII
I also want a villain to act like a villain. Not like all theo ther badguys since FFVII, I want a guy who's TRULY evil, like Golbez or Kefka.
I want:
Amazing storyline
Great characters with fixed and real personality
Great graphics and sounds like FF XII and FFX
Large sidequest with challenging mini-games and battles
Normal battle system with active/wait and turns
Cool summons
Great equipment
New magic and skill introduced
New special power like Trances or Overdrives is introduced
Character with fixed job like FFIX
Ultimate Weapon give hidden effect to summons like FFX
100+ Hours of Gameplay
Challenging
Yeah that's what I'm talking about!Quote:

And yes, 80 + hours of game play
After watching the trailer linked in this thread, I'm also hopeful that characters have more than one style of attack. In the trailer, the chick uses guns, a sword and a bit of martial arts. If you can use three different kinds of attacks in the game, I will be very, very happy for that. Hopefully the characters will be able to do such things outside of FMV.
We've seen it will be visually cool already, so I hope for it to have good musics and to be fun.
I am no doubt going to get slated for this, but what i would most like to see is FF XII being released on XBox 360 as well as Playstation. As much as I love the FF games, I am not planning on buying a Playstation console just for the one game.
So buy it for two, since there are two FFXIII games being released on the PS3. :p Not to mention all those that will follow.Quote:

For me, I've liked what I've seen so far. I just hope the female protagonist isn't a hyperactive whiny girl (and by the looks of things, she probably won't).
Well, the age thing doesn't matter. But 600 bucks? That's three car payments for me. I can't afford that for a console.
The price of the PS3 had better drop drastically by the time FFXIII comes out or I'm going to be pissed.Quote:

Also, frankly while I can enjoy properly crazy villains, they get old after awhile. Kefka and Albedo are great and all, but a little variation is nice.
That being said I want a truly cunning, calculating villain, the kind of villain that has all of his or her plans laid well in advance. I'm talking about the kind of villain for which the "Heads I Win Tails you Lose - Grahf's Collary" RPG cliche was named for. The one that only fights you because they know that even if you "defeat" them, you're still screwed.
Yeah I kind of want that kind of villain too. Less cackling and more calculating how to kill me.Quote:

I'd like to see them expand on the idea of Squall's inner-monologue but with a wider variety of thoughts n' such.
And let me pick my love relationship in this one ^_^
Or better yet go away with that type of love altogether and try out something new, like brother and sister or something, shake it up a lil'.
All I want is a fun-to-play game with likable characters and an interesting storyline. And I don't want any of it to be spoiled in advance. That's about it, really.
YEs, but there's not many villians like those two. Also, While Albedo was certifiably insane and probably needed some Prozak, he does have his plans all layed out in advance.Quote:

I'd love to see some incest *watches WAY too much anime*:D
Happy Lesson is one of the greatest incest animes out there:D:up:
Um.........so yeah, some emotional but WELL done incest wouldn't be bad, but it'll only work if it's BIG BROTHER and LITTLE SISTER :love:
PS: I don't have sisters so maybe that's why I don't feel disgusted 'bout it
EDIT: I don't care if you don't have sisters, some of us here do and that isn't appropriate. Keep that talk up and you'll be banned. -Murder
Agreed.Quote:

Setzer, you dont have very high standards, do you?
As for the incest. Well.....it highly depends on the closeness in blood. If its a distand cousin or an in-law, Im not bothered, but if it is something as close as a brother/sister thing, EW!
As for ToL, yeah sure, they werent TECHNICALLY related, but they still considered themselves that way. So I am still grossed out.
Not very high standards? Deary me, was it because I said handsome male characters? I am partial to them, so excuse me - I also said I wanted good story and gameplay - what is wrong with my standards hm? Please elaborate, but I am guessing the male comment is what made me have low standards. lol. Sorry I didn't go into lots of detail, but I do not need to. For now anyway. Seems rather pointless.
~Setzer Gabianni
Why do you always need to "flame" back at people to prove your points that they disagree or simply comment on <.<
Hmm, well learning more about it, not really alot, but simply from the trailer, I hope the battle system isn't what it shows, and thats just simply a "special battle" or something.
no no no, I wasnt insulting you. You said you wanted handsome male characters, summons, and a good story and gameplay. I meant that you are easily pleased because those are the things that FF is known for.Quote:

I reckon they will keep the female character etc, but I think the battle system will be and look different. This trailer is probably mainly just to give people a vague feel for it.

But I think Squeenix would be in huge trouble with their majority fanbase if they made a main title that wasn't some resemblence of turn-based and was more of an action situation... Well, viva la spin-offs !
Looks fantastic in comparison with 12 already IMO.
But just one thing...
The return of the overworld! Pleeeease! I want to once again find places like Cactuar Island and "whatever lurks in the corner of the map" without just punching in some stupid code. I want to ram my airship into whatever skulking around the torn planet and annoy the pilot. I want...
Ok Acid, fair enough - but, characters isnt what makes a good game only - DK, I like the design of Vaan - he is 17 years old, not yet a man, and people are saying negative things about him because he looks girl whatever.
The gameplay? We don't even know how its planned out yet, so saying you like it already..bit too early to say.
To the person who said I was flaming *i may be wrong* it wasn't a flame.
~Setzer Gabianni
:confused: where did I say that only characters make a good game?
And they better never make anyone like Vaan again. *shudder* I know bish is popular and everything, but they went too far. Its like downright transvestite.
*bites LunarWeaver* 12 years?? not funny! most of these people here will be 30! RSL will be close to 40!
It'll probably be in around 6 or 7 years. They ARE getting most of their sequels wrapped up. XII is doing well, DC is finished, AC is out, and KH2 is out, too. (maybe now they'll leave VII alone) Am I missing something? I cant help but think I am....
Actually, I see this one coming out much quicker than that even. It is the first FF title to be released for the PS3.
So if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say 1-2 years after FFXII is released.
Think about what happened to FFIX. Its 2000 release was overshadowed by the the release of the PS2, and just the next year, 2001, FFX was released.
I see the same thing happening here. FFXII's release is getting overshadowed by the PS3 launch, and as well we're already seeing trailers for FFXIII. Plus with the new console trying to win over more customers, Sony may even push square to release a big title for their platform ASAP.
It probably won't be as long as FFXII. Lets hope so, anyways. :p
Quoted for truth, I hope they NEVER make a protagonist like that ever again. bleh! :bleh:Quote:

No characters that can possibly pass males as females.
I've seen in some place, that FFXIII is already near completion. It could be possible, i mean we've had to wait 3 years for FFXII since X-2, which we dont normally have to wait that long. I would of thought working on FFXIII would of started in 2003 maybe. The delay of FFXII has taken ages, so it could possibly be released earlier than expected to catch on the time between the last two games.
they've already fulfilled my wish of an assassin-like femme fatale. :) i've always wanted a final fantasy with a female protagonist who looks like a fallen star :) and i like the futuristic thing. funnily enough, i sensed that they would put out a sci-fi ff after all the medieval games :)
take a look at the gorgeous new battle screen :
http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/ar...8112837579.jpg
Yes. That red X in a white square is quite fascinating.
I agree. Look at what happened with Microsoft. They pushed to have Halo out at the debut of the Xbox and it just kicked right off.Quote:

Better character design. I won't get that wish granted though :(.
I wouldn't say no thanks to a job system either, but somehow, I don't think we'll get that this time.
A huge, believable world.
Ancient ruins with legendary monsters. Preferrably many of them, optional or not.
A main character that isn't too emo or angsty, though some other playable characters may be.
Conspiracies :p, but that's granted. The only thing is how good they'll be.
An action oriented battle system also seems to be granted.
A story that gets me emotionally touched, which is starting to become hard to do. Maybe I'm growing old?
A lone wolf-ish main character could be interesting. We haven't had one since FF8.
Quality voice acting. Lip resyncing.
K, new to forums, deffinitly not new to FF.
Why are people wishing for "Non emo" main characters? The only near emo character ive seen so far is Squall, maybe Cloud.
Also i think its time to move FF to a futeristic world. Im kinda tired of: Midevil times, preasent, Future but everything is dystreoyed and revuild to be midevil.
I like the look of this battle system, i hope its closer to FF-X2 (not the changing jobs, but that fact that everyone can continue fighting even if the monsters are attacking). Also Summons are deffenitly getting old, i think something should be done with them.
As for wepons, the gun/sword (cant really call it a gunblade) is perfect!
I like your style and I agree.Quote:

Job classes would be niceQuote:

I hope that the main character won't be another Cloud/Squall. I actually hope that they are somewhat between being optimistic and pessimistic. Also, I hope the battle system is good. From what I've seen of it seems pretty action based. I am definately hoping there isn't some cheesy and random romance included in this one.
1) Innovative Battle System that drastically changes the way we play RPG's (which is already in works)
2) A new type of character ie: one that isnt all gloomy and dark like Cloud nor all female looking like Vann.
3) Different worlds to explore instead of just on one planet or maybe two. Kind of like the up and coming game Rogue Galaxy. (this can be accomplished with the power of PS3, imagine like 10 FFX worlds)
4) New summons, totally unique. (I do like the old summons dont get me wrong in fact i love them, but just bringing something new to the plate would add more variety).
5) Same great story written by Kazushige Nojimaand great music composed by Nobu Umatsue of course :D .
6) With the 6 way motion on the PS3 controller, maybe the means of scrolling through menus can be done by just a tilt or flip of your wrist? meaning more buttons to do different things.
7) With the power of PS3 we can safely say that we can now put more equipment slots like in FFXI? to change ur characters looks, in game. Instead of just the usual weapons or gaunlet.
8) Real - World timing system. ie: if you were playing at night the game world would be at night, etc..
9) And of course the Final Fantasy touch. xD
things im sure will be there but i still cross my fingers for.
-at least one character i deem likable
-decent story
-Decent Equip, Magic and ability system
heres the big one im worried about.
-Music. I'm looking for somthing suitable, of Final Fantasy Quality, and most of all memerable, somthing that when i listen to later, i can be like "ohh i remember that town", or "that boss".
1. No Versus
2. No cell phone expansion game thing
Square ENIX (I capitalize because it's the reason Square's goin' downhill) has got to stop with the whole making money trend and go back to their wonder years. Making one great Final Fantasy game every couple years. Wonder years: 1991 to just before Enix merged with them.
By the way, if you look back at that battle system picture, you will see that the Blizzard command is spelled "Blizzrad". I find it amusing.
That's really good. Couldn't have said it better myself!Quote:

I would like to be able to fly the airship manually. I would like to see multiple disks like the PS1 FF games, it felt so awesome to see the 'Insert Disk _ Now ' come up after beating a boss :D
Im gonna go with something that a few people have already suggested.
A big smurf off world map. I love being able to just roam around to any town I feel like. its more like youre actually on a planet ya know?...
Maybe not...Anyway....
World maps rock...
I want this game to be very long and have a ton of mini gmaes, a lot would be new futuristic sports, it would be good to have a female lead character, oh and chocobos with laser cannons, chocobos with laser cannons, and a robot ally that's better than Robo.
Haahaa I'm still for male leads with big swords. Tidus is a fav :)
I WANT THIS TO BE A HORROR RPG!!!!!!
err... Final Fantasy 13... Friday the 13th? Get it.
Yeah, sorry.
Bring Ramuh back.
I would love to be able to have much more freedom over the storyline, e.g. choose if im male or female, choose my main weapon and my love interest/ relationships within the game, surley this isnt impossible with the new power of the ps3. I love the idea of being able to see the world after you have saved it and being able to explore the world again.
Good solid chracter personalitys that you can see change or affect the game.
Oh anda day and night system so that if its night its dark, etc, and you have to sleep every now and then, make it like a proper journey, with the abillity to change your clothes along the way not neccisarly as armour but just so you look different lol.
I want the villain to be completely in control and have everything planned like Josh Hartnett in Lucky Number Slevin or Brad Pitt at the end of Snatch.
I also want the summons to become part of you and change your appearance a bit so you just carry on fighting but with new abilities.
I don't think there would be time to summon some guy and tell him to do your bidding while you're kicking ass and taking name.
I like this idea lol. ;)Quote:

I don't play video games to see people I would look down upon if I met in real life, I want to see really badass characters up there wrecking whatever they come against. Obviously they can be complex and no one dimensional, but I shouldn't be left wondering how on earth they could manage to put up a decent fight based on their story established personality. There is no way we should have Random Kid #54 in the same party as Legendary Hero and Warrior Trained From Young Age. At least give me some reason they are so amazing (genetic experiments, son of hero, chosen one, less cliché example, the list goes on....)
>Epic Storyline<
I should notice earth-shattering changes in the world as the game progresses. These aren't supposed to be random adventures of a few people in a kingdom (I'm looking at you XII); they should be an epic team of heroes fighting a legendary struggle. The SNES FF's were amazing in this regard. I should hear random NPCs talking about the effects of some huge event and think 'I was there'.
>Skill System<
I have really disliked the skill development systems in X and XII, as you can basically have everyone get everything. There is no character set up, tweaking or even customization. This is exceedingly lame. I want to have to make choices as to how to set up my party for battle, and I want there to be a multitude of viable options.
>Battle System<
Real time is a horrible idea to introduce into Final Fantasy. So some people enjoy real-time, that is probably why a multitude of non-FF games have been created. Gambits are a HORRIBLE idea. If you are making fights so repetitive and un-enjoyable that you think it is a good idea to automate them, think again. I want to have to think every battle.
I think that's the best idea I've heard so far.Quote:

I for one, are sick of badasses AND pansies. Ok, none of the improve a story, both just make it less realistic and more of a "we know what's gonna happen" stuff. Really, Square Eniz, stop it with badasses and pansies, I'm sick of them and their boring stereotypes.
world map
job system
emotional attachment
How about some sarcasm? I haven't seen an actual sarcastic character so far.
And a tank for crying out lout. Gotta have a tank that you can use and keep. That would just be evily fun.
bring back the turn-based fighting. bring back control of the airship's flight. More than one world ( a moon or an underground or a separate reality ). Characters that have color: some funny, some mean and sarcastic, some down to earth, some not-so-downtoearth, some funny lookin, etc... Characters i can get to know and care about. A villian that you think is good for a portion of the game, then you realize you've been doing everything he wanted. Bring back the old Summons... this isn't Tactics, so i don't want to see Tactics summons. Moogles that talk or at least make noises.
I thought Paine was quite sarcastic. Even if the main character won't be female I still would want turned based fighting with random encounters and battle music. I wish also for another Goofy boss battle like Tonberry King, He did an attack called Junk I think that made pans, Tv's and other junk fall on the party. Laser cannon chocobos would also be cool.Quote:

Of course they won't! It's frivolous to try especially when you can't see an artist's artistic form and beauty which is what the FF staff makes. If it's getting cliche it's because FF started the cliche, there are no legendary heroes in FF in recent years maybe in past old skool ones that I haven't played like I,II,III,V, and VI.Quote:

Do I realistically think I think anything I say hear will affect SE in the least? Of course not. Where would you get that idea? I was asked for my wish list (see: opinion), and I gave it. Just because it's different than yours no need to get upset. You may well see a character as well rounded and developed, and I may regard the same character as a pansy. It's a mater of perspective, not right or wrong. (Hence me using pansy in quotation marks).
As for examples of why the heroes would be strong:
(SPOILER)I: Legendary Hero
IV: Son of Lunarian
V: Son of Warrior of Dawn
VI: Half Esper
VII: Subject to Janova and Mako experimentation
IX: Created as a genome with a soul to destroy Gaia
I would expect if a hero was amazingly strong for non lineage reasons they would most certainly have to have devoted most of their life to training, if they are just going to pick up a sword one day and be amazing there better be a good explanation behind it.
And on a side note, ultimately SE makes games to make money.
Sex.
But artistic form and beauty IS fun. At least in Final Fantasy it is. And thats always been one of the major things in every Final Fantasy game. If a pure - different kind of - fun is what you want, you probably shouldnt be playing an RPG at all.Quote:

Not sure what the pure fun you allude to is, I'm assuming some sort of simpler gaming experience. I deliberately said enjoy in my posts to emphasize the critical factor is the feeling you walk away from the game with. As for myself, I love being involved in the adventure; and that is going to be significantly dampened if I take a disliking to the game's primary character. If I'm asking myself 'is this someone I want to hear about' and the answer is no, how invested do you think I can get into the story?
Moogles...lots and lots of moogles...maybe have all playable characters be moogles...just lots of them
Since this game is looking all tech like. Robot moogles is the next logical step.Quote:

Just a good storyline overall with intricate character development between the main hero/es and the villian/s.
Plot wise?
No love story... FFVII-FFX has milked it too much and besides, Xenogears did it the best so there really is no point...;)
I want characters to have well written growth. Not, "Let me talk about my problems..." I deal with this in real life, I don't need to have artificial beings complaining to me about their problems.
A large cast that isn't filled with "throw away" characters. I need more than six or seven people. I also would like some attention be given to them. I'm not asking for over the top dramatic character interaction every time we go into a cutscene, but at least a well thought out purpose and personality that makes them feel distinct.
I want to have a real world, like FFXII's except with a real world map. I need detail and I need to want to care about the world itself. Please don't make another interactive movie like FFX.
I also feel it's finally safe to go back to killing party members in the middle of the story. It was an FF tradition in FFII-FFVII (though FFVI skipped it) and I feel that it's time to put it back into full swing.:cool:
I want a cast that is older than 17. In fact I want the main players to be older than 21. Please no more kids... We're trying to save the world, not babysit some obnoxious kid...
Kid means baby goat.Quote:

New Game+ would be nice for once.
Alternative endings would be even better.
A male character whose gender isn't questionable :D
I just hope that no more pretty boys in FFXIII.
Music by Nobuo Uematsu...
Manly character...(for guys)
More playable character in battel
Good storyline...no need to be romantic..

i would like to see a large cast of playable characters including some that have to be found rather than be part of the main story,people like gogo from ffvi who you have to go looking for,everything seems to easy to obtain in more recent ff's.
chocobo/moogle/cactuar/tonberry must remain
total control of battle rather than ai like in ffxii
a world map and airship thats controllable
characters that really believably have a reason to fight
characters in the party that dont get on at all, that have real problems with eachother rather than always being a big happy family.
characters that dont care to save the day but choose to take advantage of the party to fulfill their own goals
a character that dies, or maybe even several, something like the villain kills half the party just for the hell of it, a real stop us in our tracks moment.
the return of characters whos jobs were unique to them, eg vivi was the black magic specialist in ffix, i hate how in ffx and ffxii they all seem to be capable of eachothers abilities equally.
