I would love to see a big war-bot,a completely mechanical one(not a cyborg).
That could be really bad ass!
I love to see Cyborg Ninja, similar to Grobyc from Chrono Cross.
Plus, I would also like to see a Monk and a Dragoon, with a futuristic look

hmm i think it would be cool to see sumthing like a male mage character as the main like a RDM main character that was a guy and then make the lead girl a strong warrior i think it would add some twist to the game seeing as how usually all the girls are weak and use magic or items(such as rikku) and rarely do u see a strong fighting female character also i think the main character is always a warrior type and maybe the twist would be cool ^^
Sephiroth, of course.
anyone who fights like Lightning!
Definately the most awesome thing I've seen in the FF series
~What I really want to see in XIII's characters is some originality. To be honest I'm really sick of all the pretty boys in FF. It looks like some of these guys have more make up on then Mimi from the Drew Carey Show.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...all47/mimi.jpg
Also I hate when there's rpg cliche stuff.
1.Pretty girl being the white mage.
2.Moody girl/boy be the black mage.
3.Having the big strong guy with a big sword
4.Gravity defying hair
5.Please for the love of god don't have characters with amnesia (my pet peeve in rpg's since Xenogears.)
6. You get the general idea
I do like some tradition in FF such as chocobos and moogles (everyone loves mooges right? How can you not?):mog: But other things have to go.
But I do have to say there are on the right track so far. Having a badass female lead was not what I was expecting from XIII so let's hope Square-Enix hits the cruise-control on this course.
a dragoon hands down I mean there is only one true dragoon in the series (kain of course) Freya is a whiny rat , Khimarhi is a ronso and doesn't have the cool armor , richard can't use dragoon abilities
and for the love of god call him dragoon not dragon knight or lancer or something lame like that
I second Dragoon...
And there must be blue magic. Someone who is purely Blue Magic centered would be fun.
snakes?
A skillful fighther.Maybe another gunblader?I'm not sure...because i like gunblades...:tongue: Anyway...a repeat of FF8 in a more nicer graphic and more advance world would be nice...SeeD is kinda fun though...
Vivi, Rydia, Mog and Nanaki as the main team with Kitten Sith, Kimahri, Lulu and Eiko as reserve. They'll travel together and join Lightning's forces.
you mean like...on a plane?Quote:

I have given the matter careful consideration, and stared at the hair that laughs in the face of physics for full minutes. I have come to the conclusion that it is entirely awesome.Quote:

Somebody cold hearted and rugged, a loner, a personality of Squall but not so emoish (Christ that dude was depressed). Christ, give at least one guy in the game some facial hair, just about everybodies clean shavin' and metro in the FF universes.
As for the weapon, something besides a sword unless they come up with something really creative, I already have a couple ideas in mind but I'm saving those for when I finally create my own ish.
I say we go against all standard convention and make the next main FF character, a big black guy, much in a similiar fashion to Barret/Mr. T.
He'll have the cool factor, the bad ass factor. But wouldn't be as lacking of a personality as Cloud. Or as emo as Squall. And for once be a nice main lead.
Seriously I don't think there's been any good main characters since 9 and 6. There's just way too main main characters, who seem to try too hard to be cool, yet fail horribly in my opinion.
So yea, on a completely unigue type of main character.
You dare challenge the greatness that is Maester Seymour Guado's hair?Quote:

You sir, will be long dead before the fortnight is through.
OK here is a made up list, enjoy!
Lightning-Gunner-16-Pretty and outgoing girl with good grades
Rione-17-Speed Warrior-Outgoing and Cool guy with a sense of humor
Raiden-21-Black Mage-Outgoing Adopted Sister of Lightning Cat-Lady
Hallard-28-Paladin-Tortured Soul and Brother of Lightning and Raiden
Wachen-37-Dragon-Man Dragoon with a quiet attitude
Vialan-23-Thief-Vampire Pirate Chick
Caunas-52-Monk-Captured Martial-Arts instructor (like Yang)
Tyole-28-Blue Mage- Twin Of Toveed, sicentist
Toveed-28-Grenadier-Twin of Tyole, Military Explosives Man
Greageria-42-WhiteMage-Bad-Tempered White Mage Woman
Mogty-11-GreenMage-Friendly Young Moogle
Cyle-25-Bard/StrengthWarrior-Rock Star with Spikey Hair
Paushe-13-Alchemist-Spoiled Cousin of Lightning/Raiden/Hallard
Monaleux-29-Dark Knight-Vampire Man with Evil Personality (Former Villian)
Elric-26-RedMage-Son a medievel-nation's king with red mage hat and white hair pretty-boy type
There, enjoy this crew made by me with WAY to much time on my hands......You wanted a unique crew...
Oh, Tyole and Toveed are both black, Raiden isn't moody, just cat-lady, and the white mage is UGLY
A provocative main character, showing signs of glam, and bisexuality at times. And leaving everyone in utter confusion, then to only find out hes a human raised on his own, studying science fiction tales. Oh and he wouldnt be gay, just very flamboyant and really really cool.
But...the main chracter's a girl...her name is Lightning...she has pink hair...and the main character ARE NOT gay!!! *stares at displeasingly*
As great as this seems and I am liking it, I hope she has spikyish pink hair like ziggy or something like morrissey and is very provocative. (throws a moogle at the loser staring at him)
*stares at sympatheticly at your ignorance*
*stares and realizes that the poor fool infront of him is probably having a blast sitting in front of a computer, cruising the new forum he just joined, feeling like if on cloud 9. When really hes just another mr shankly, that could only understand a bit of what he cites, for creativity and imagination are 2 of the many colors missing from the miserable artwork he calls his life. Let this be a playful reminder of irony logged in for the one who fights back when it will never get anything done, is the ignorant one.*
What?
Anyway, Im happy about a lead female character. But a new lead female character, not a revamped one *looks at Yuna*
Please keep the conversations in private messages, RedXIII13 and JulioA. Thanks. :)
As for character I'd like to see in FFXIII, I'd definitely love to see a funny character like Quina. She was so underrated.
OK, me and Julio will only continue this battle of equality on PMing!
They should have Red XIII(Nanaki) in it just as an easter egg. Just a thought.
YES...ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, if you want to make your own FF Character, go to my self-made character contest for info and how to win! Really, we need more people!
You were just told to stop spamming and conversing. Please do not continue. There will also be no need to reply to this post saying you won't spam anymore.
Also don't advertise your other threads.
I would definitely go with Quina.
Oh, sry I didn't see that announcement, sorry I'm new. :p
[leeza]You were asked not to reply to the above post. Please pay attention as you have just contributed to more spam. ~ Leeza[/leeza]
Why don't you just delete his useless posts for him? Obviously, no member of EYES ON has the capacity to delete their own useless posts. If I were a Cid's Knight, I'd do it.
IMHO, the rivalry between Squall/Seifer was reminiscent of IV's Cecil's personal struggle against his dark leanings. Therefore, a Squall/Seifer character already exists.Quote:

1- Massive one handed Sword(Auron)
Fine.Quote:
3- Machine Gun(Laguna)/Twin Pistol
Do you mean a SECTION STAFF?Quote:
4- Nunchaku with 3 Ends (Like Cerberus in DMC3)
How about a boomerang?Quote:
1- Blaster Edge/Pinwheel
Or how about Telekinesis?Quote:
2- Unarmed&Sorcery
Kantals...? Rikku's weapon: Gauntlet?Quote:
3- Kantals/ Rikku's weapon
Finally, an idea that seems original. If we're discussing actual chain-whips of martial arts descent, and not whips that are just a frickin' chain you could use as a frickin' bike lock.Quote:
4- Chainwhip
Inspector Gadget
how about as a weapon a ~~> Scythe
and I agree that some Mages need to be Male. So far we got like Tallah from FFIV and Vivi from FF9 as the most memorable Mages. How about a Male Whm or Summoner for a change.
I'd like to see more Female Melee and more Male Mages.
I'd Like to see more unique weapons in FF's, personally i think weve had enough: Big Swords, Staffs.
And How about a Story that Doesnt Make the Summoner like THE greatest most important Person in the whole Game!
I say a soulwhip. Its my stagename, I imagine it to be a fiery blue whip with a beautiful yet terrifying black handle.
Two words: Job system. That way you can make all the male white mages you want!
No cloud clones, no sephiroth clones, no clones at all or characters based on the mentioned characters. I want originallity. A new Jobclass would be great though.
There would still have to be pre-made characters, enemies and NPCs, like in Radiata Stories . . . Oh! There were a lot of male magic-users in that game.Quote:

I'd like to actually role out the game as the Magus Sisters . . . :)
Someone whose main weapon is Sycthe and maybe someone who double-crosses you halfway through the game
I loved Cloud's Multi sword from Advent Children and would love to see something similiar (just not with guns please...)
I want a charismatic scoundrel for a main character, someone whose not afraid to get their hands dirty just not blatanly evil...
We definetly need more treachery in future FF's...
I agree that I don't want the summoners to be the main focus or end all be all. Square's been trying to recreate Rydia for years and I feel they should stop (because Garnet and Yuna are the main issues that keep their games from being good)
Please for the love of all that is holy, don't have a female lead that leaves the party in hopes of doing what's "best" for the party and instead forces you to move halfway across the planet in order to save her cause she has now just placed your party in danger. And if that can't be done for me, at least give my party the option to break her legs so she can't wander off...(wishful thinking concerning Garnet and Yuna... yes it's one of my pet peeves in rpgs)
I would love to have a suicidal character, it would bring some strong character interactions and character development as long as it was done correctly (that thin line between wanting to help heal this poor soul or wanting them to just do it finally cause you're sick of their constant whining...)
No more perky little girls whose sole role is to add "fun" to the party...
I would love to see a lot of strong willed individuals in your party. More conflict cause you're group is only thinly aligned because of a common goal.
A villian that doesn't want world domination, to become a god, or the the total destruction of everything... Perhaps a charasmatic self righteous individual who is doing his crimes for the sake of what he/she feels is for the "greater good" and what would even be better is if they were'nt completely wrong. That even the player would feel that they are not wrong or just hopelessly misguided.
I want a moogle for a party member (playable, not just some cute mascot who appears in cutscenes)
Moogle:Mogty! Strong-Willed:Hallard AND Wachen Summoners:NO! Perky Girls:Not really... The Villian:Wants to destroy the main countries of Marshall, The Archapheligho, and St. Veronica so he can conquer their allied plans to build a way to get other planets to join them, so he'll have the universe to revive his dead love... OH! Suicidal? Hmm...
The multi-sword is being done again in Versus XIIIQuote:

I agree . . . again.
Maybe if it wasn't the main character or anyone else in their group. I don't know how much I'd actually enjoy the game if one of my characters was thinking about offing themself.
Right! No more "fun" girls
Yeah, like in Grandia Xtreme (or at least, the beginning anyway.)
Or how about if the main character actually agreed with the villain and decided to help him out (or at least, found it harder to put their all into trying to stop him)?
I don't really care so much about Moogles. Maybe one of the myriad other trademark FF creatures . . . Chocobo, Moomba, Tonberry, Fang, PuPu, Cactuar, Cait . . .
Post # 5 in this thread (the long one with all the misspellings) is actually completely the opposite of what I am looking for in an RPG. I'm also not down with the futuristic crap, but Square made the descisions. I'd be liking the main character a skinny underdog who is deadly with the rapier. Not having them be the strongest of characters would be excellent, allowing the story to focus on other the less wantable characters more.
Also a nice addition to the game would be allowing you to select which character you want to start with. Then later in the game, you can view flashbacks up until the point that you met the others in your party. Sure, it would talk up a lot of space, but who said that you can't have a 2-disc PS2 game or maybe the PS3 will have the capability to hold it all on one game thing. Who knows?
Anyhow character need to be atypical and not stick to the status quo. How about a peppy black mage? or a playable male summoner?
As far as the look of the characters, they need to be creative as they were in FFIX. Sadly everone looks over that games as a black mark in Square history, but I, for one, think it is the greatest in the for of creativity. (The Chocobo stuff was the best in the series!)
Anyhow, these views are mine and talk about them as you want.
1. A good comical relief character, like Quina or Steiner from IX.
2. A rough playable character who doesn't evolve much throughout the story to become just like everyone else in the party.
3. A female lead is awesome.
2. being like Kimahri?
Weapons I want to see turning up.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Hozukimaru.jpgA three section staff with a blade at the end.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Ishida_bow.JPG A big, awesome bow.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...er_08_Axel.png Chakrams!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...1_Marluxia.png And last of all, a scythe.
I'd also like more girls wielding those kinda weapons, and guys doing the magic and sumoner thang.
I wouldn't know, I haven't played FFX or X-2. :)Quote:

As the player makes all the decisions, the story itself lends no clue as to whom the main character will end up with. Childhood friend? Gritty gladiatrix? Awesome princess? The summoner?
It was only after reading through the whole list that I realized just what was going on in these RPGs and decided that, man, I want main characters who break all the stereotypes and all the rules.
I think that a Child would be a good main Character.
A gay character would be cool.
For some reason they don't like putting anyway homosexual's in FF games.
yeah definately girl lead w/ swrod = AWESOME
also i think a good comic relief character...male whitemage with bad temper? hilarious
JOB SYSTEM! hell yes!!!!
here's definately the list for an 8 person party
Lightning...duh
male whitemage
female ninja...i heart yuffie...:love:
male summoner/black mage - it's about time!
female - dragoon...less like freya...more like kain
male guardian (magic knight like beatrix...more sword techs tho.)
female pirate ...yeah she would be f-ing awesome
male archer! w/ mech bow, with different arrow tips woot
also...
cloud as unlockable...and tifa 2
i heart cloud and tifa...and yuffie
a gay couple :D.. one should look like Cloud and one like Vaan or Zell. I would love to see a romantic story between 2 guys for once
Yuffie :love: I love her. I didn't use her much the last few times I played VII but I really like her. She was really cool in AC. I want to replay the game now and have her in my team :bigsmile:Quote:

for me all I see in this debate...
A cloud fan girl (who dress like a boy): user of gunblades
A ninja robot: hmm
A Male super model: with a whip
A deaf, mute blind person in a wheelchair: I'll make him have a mech that casts Red Magic
A female dragoon/blue mage:
A gothic warrior: who use 2 swords
Big strong black guy: well I think there should be another one
A doggie: lets make him a wereworf (he can morph into a human)
Almost there was a keen look-a-like in Tactics AdvancedQuote:

Fusing characters are more likely happen in vsXIII than in any othe XIII games.
A cool playable robot
A quick witted, friendly, perverted male thief (think Locke and Zidane. Not Yuffie and Rikku) with dual daggers. Yes i'm a fanboy =D
A blitzball player! Or make it now an "airball" with gravity boards like RW.
Please Square bring back the fun, cool minigame!!!
Their characters should be unique.
They should base their characters on successful/popular characters of PS:
Guys:
FFVII: Cloud, Vincent
FFVIII: Squall, Laguna
FFXI:
FFX: Auron
FFXII: Vaan, Balthier
Girls:
FFVII: Tifa, Aeris
FFVIII: Quistis
FFXI:
FFX: Lulu, Rikku
FFXII: Ashes
Vilains: Vilains with a back story and purposed to be a vilain.
FFVII: Rufus, Shinra Soldier, Turks. A good ending since they moslty came good.
FFVIII: Seifer, Edea. At least they have a story and developpement, unlike no reason Ultimecia has to attachieve her goals.
FFXI:
FFX: Jecht, he has a background story.
FFXII: Vayne if he stays good. Anyone got the reason why he was evil?
I know you people are going to flame me and whatever.
At least I got something Interesting to say.
I couldn't care what you'll say negative...
Definitely, and it would be even better if you could (almost) sympathize with them, and they weren't bent on destroying or taking over the world.Quote:

One along the same kind of lines as quina
If there is a god I hope that it's you.Quote:
