omg I wish this was in more Final Fantasy games

[.:kerrod:.]

The job system from FFIII, FFV, & FFX-2. (Yes. It is a variation of the system, and that part of the game was done very well.)

It allows for so much party customization without flooding the cast with characters.

oooh, this too...i love the 'jobs' aspect, hence why i love FF:Tactics and FF:TA so much

job class. not ffta though, cuz i dunno wtf is ever going on in that game. fft was gold

I'd have liked the "Scan" technique ("Sense" in FFVII) to have been like it was in FFVIII in every FF game. I loved it how aswell as the useuall HP/MP data, and elemental weeknesses, there was a sort of description of the enemy, and it looked like they where anaylized propperly buy something - you could even use it on your own team.

Indeed the Scan spell in FFVIII was a masterpiece of ingenuity I suppose it's difficult with FF games containing so many opponents to write descriptions for them all (I do this for a game with 300 - 500 monster units, 13 races and around 200 npc characters so understand it is not easy to write something though it's easier for Square, they have pictures to work from. I often only have a name and my imagination) Still Scan was a huge success and great fun to use. I have noticed however that sometimes it comes out with HP: ????/???? randomly including on Fasticalon-F enemies on Balamb's Rinaul Coast at times I am not sure why this is.

[MJN SEIFER]

I think it's the same as how certain enemies can't be scanned in other FFs, but in thoes it would just say "Couldn't Scan/Sense" or something, but as the FFVIII version has a description, that still has to be shown, so the just make the HP unreadable.

[Iceglow]

No thats not the case, sure some bosses might have ????/???? hp but well this was a bog standard Fasticalon-F (for those lacking good memory these are the sand shark/piranha style things in the start of the game on the beach at balamb) and I had scanned another Fasticalon-F 2 fights prior to this and gotten a hp readout I guess sometimes it just bugs or something. Still great spell and so useful.

After playing a bit of FFIII-V recently... (don't ask).

I must say, I really miss the Dancer and Piano extras. Running into different dancers that bedazzle the party with their grace or just learning to play the piano (though VII and VIII sorta had it). They were just fun and I felt they lighten the mood at times.

Probably a lot of things from IX. Especially the Character Event options they blatantly stole from Star Ocean 2. IX did them better.

Seriously IX has a lot of cool little ideas and concepts that should have been kept.

Indeed, the "Private Actions" really added a lot of depth to the FFIX characters.

I miss the humor... Why did it have to go?? Up until X, everything was bluntly humorous as points. Even in VII there were hilarious moments. I miss them so much! Then there's the whole parody thing in MQ. That just made me fall over laughing. I also miss the religious aspects, like in ToF and FFT and such.

The "Bolt" spell and the engineer class.
