My entry for the smell of fear is this...

'I think a more fast-paced, yet strategic battle system would fighting game-esque combos would be fun. I would absolutely love for the game to be more open-ended. I love the concept of a Relationship System, not unlike Tales of Symphonia, in which characters' possibilities of love/life/death/fufillment is decuded upon your own actions.

A class system like FFIX makes each character seem more unique, so I want a system in which classes actually exist. Whoether they're predetermined or not matters not to me.

Minigames need a point, please. Don't get me wrong, Blitzball and Tetra Master are great, but I like it to be of more significance to the story, though not a major liability to the main gameplay.

I also believe many would like more nonhuman characters. Discovering new cultures and races in FF and other science fiction/fantasy games are totally intriguing and give the game a more whismical feel.

These are my suggestions and I hope you find them to be enjoyable like I do.

Thanks.
