"Vision" and Project Leader - Hironobu Sakeguchi
Though he's not the complete creative driving force of the FF series, he does know how to use people with talent to make great games and there is just something magical about any game he puts his heart and soul into. His mood really adds a level of life to his projects and I feel a dream team would need this.
Director - Kitase and Matsuno
Matsuno knows how to do drama and create wonderful scenes and memorable moments. Kitase always adds a bit of Hollywood flair that adds that extra punch in his titles. I feel both co-directing a piece would create a more balanced piece with Matsuno bringing intelligence and high drama while Kitase brings action and visually stunning moments.
Character and World Design - Amano
His artwork is breathtaking and his worlds are bizarre and mind blowing. Just seeing the teaser of his work come to life in the FMVs of V and VI as well as what has been seen from his anime movie adaptions will make this Final Fantasy something that will truly stand out. His Character designs are elegant and incite the viewers imaginations whereas other designers give away too much. I still don't feel anyone has come close to beating his character designs for the series.
Monster Designs - Nomura
I've always loved the monster designs in VI and VII and I feel Nomura's bizarre over the top designs tend to work for his monsters. As long as he isn't being lazy and doing variations of the same designs a la FFX, I tend to feel the games he works on have very eye catching and memorable monsters for random encounters.
Battle Design - Ito, Matsuno, and Nomura
I don't know what it is but Ito and Matsuno always seem to make awesome battle systems whenever they work together. Ito will bring his usual quirky creativity while Matsuno will bring an emphasis on strategy and using your head to win battles. Nomura is there to make the system move faster and have an edge of your seat excitement about it.
Scenario Writer - Matsuno
I love Matsuno's plots cause they actually make you think, not in a "How does that even logically work in this weird world of metaphysics gone wrong" like Nojima but rather makes you think about the characters and their relationships with each other. His tales always have no real clear view of good or evil either. Good guys become villains and villains turn out to be saints. Tactics and Vagrant Story still rank as some of my favorite plots of all time.
Music - Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda
The man does good, and I'd be curious to know what he could bring to a Matsuno piece. Mitsuda is another underrated composer and their work together on Chrono Trigger was truly marvelous. I'd love to see them work together again.
